Look Out Below!
Here's a Fun Fact: Currently, one in six circuit court
judges have been appointed by the t-Rump administration.
Here's an even Funner Fact: Mitch McConnell is trying
to change the rules of the Senate so he can appoint
more federal judgeships even faster. Like, fifteen
times faster.
How the GOP is filling so juducial seats many, so fast,
is because they slowed President Obama's judge selection
process
to
a crawl, oftentimes a standstill, leaving dozens, possibly
hundreds of positions unfilled.
You see, Mitch McConnell
was
saving it for "a Republican president", just like he
withheld the Merrick Garland nomination fo the Supreme
Court. Like he knew, a long time ago, that t-Rrump
would be
the next
president. All Mitch needed was 77,000 tactical votes
in three specific states to get his wish.
Gosh,
I wonder
how he knew.
These extremetist judges the Republicans are ramming
through are going to be a fucking time bomb for the
future of Democracy in this country. Worse even, in
the long run, than the neutron bomb we have sitting
in
the Oval Office.
And before you say "Oh, the Republicans would never
knowingly allow a Russian operative near the levers
of power" just look at what's sitting in the White
House eating hamberders.
--------------
Every Democrat in the House today voted on a bill to:
•
Fix gerrymandering
•
Impose new ethics reforms
•
End dark money
•
Create automatic voter registration
•
Provide oversight of foreign agents
•
Make it harder for state governments to suppress the
vote
•
Require presidents to disclose tax returns
Every House Republican voted "No".
Every. Single. One.
And why do they think they can get away with this?
Gerrymandering. Dark money. Voter suppression. Foreign
interference in elections. Lax ethics laws. Lack of
transparency.
These things keep Republicans in office,
and they like it that way.

When the Republicans "impeached" Bill Clinton
his popularity numbers went up. Today I'm hearing otherwise
sensible progressive voices say that we can't impeach
t-Rump for the same reason. That t-Rump's popularity
numbers would increase enough to tip the scales towards
Republicans in 2020.
To this idea I say "Bullshit!"
When Nixon left office under the cloud of impeachment
Americans did not feel pity for Little Dick and elect
Gerald Ford in 1976.
Bill Clinton's numbers rose because the country knew
that the Republicans were playing politics and they
got punished
for it. (Yes, they stole the 2000 election thanks to
the Supreme Court but that's another story.)
Most Americans understand that t-Rump is a criminal
and a danger to this country. He needs to be impeached
as soon as possible. And I, for one, look forward to
that Stepford Wife of a VP, Pence, running for president
in his place. That would be freaking hilarious.

Judge Ellis: "Mr. Manafort was not before this court for Russian collusion <wink-wink> so
I will, for no reason, specifically state that he wasn't before this court for
Russian
collusion <wink-wink> and
give him a ridiculously light sentence that has nothing to do with Russian collusion <wink-wink-wink-wink-wink-wink-wink-winkitty-wink-wink>."
For the record, Judge Elles described Manafort as leading a "blameless life".
People, Manafort is PROFOUNDLY unethical, having spent his entire adult lifetime
defending thugs, dictators, and strongmen around the world, regardless of how
much blood was spilled.
He
will
be
on
anyone's
side
for a wad of cash. His first words as a memebr of the t-rump team was "How can
I use this to make myself whole with the Russians."
I dearly hope Manafort gets shanked in the prison shower, but only after his
anus
has
prolapsed
from all the ass-rapings he's due.

And, finally, IMPEACH THE MUTHAFUKKAH!
