I think this whole Supreme Court thing was coordinated by McConnell to help twitler

Last edited Mon Jul 2, 2018, 12:52 PM - Edit history (1)

Remember when McConnell said he was keeping senate in session in August for judicial appointments? They are going to shove this new Supreme Court pick quickly in August. McConnell has been coordinating this and they knew they had blackmail material on him because of Kennedy’s son involvement with Deustche Bank, Russia and Kushner

I personally think quite a few rethugs are being blackmailed to fall in line. Lindsey Graham is so cowered by blackmail. Now that McCain’s not there keep him steady he has fallen in line with Twitler.

Every Democratic person who is on national TV from now on should say the president should not get a new pick until the investigation for treason with Russia and money laundering.

3. Yes. Because when shit hits the fan with Mueller, be sure Trump will contest all the way to the SC

They are all so compromised & will use the SC as their final draw of the cards.

Stacking the deck in their criminal favor.

AFTER he leaves office? If the SCOTUS were to rule that he is above the law as President - surely we aren't to the place where he will never be out of office?

10. True. I believe they will hedge all bets possible

They know what they did & also know what is coming at them from Mueller.
There are only a couple ways to stop this.
And they are covring every base they have left.

We are dealing with the mob.
They will go down in a blaze of glory once all options have been spent.

But not until then.

There's faith in this cat/mouse game, that to Bob Mueller & his team of the finest, bringing down the mob is their specialty.

Of all the crimes committed by Al Capone, it was the charges of Tax Evasion that finally brought his criminal enterprise down.

Hoping that as goes Capone, so goes Dotard

7. I believe they meant Kennedy's son

I'm skeptical that this is the motivation as Kennedy didn't leak his retirement. I think it's far more likely that keeping the Senate in session is to harm Democratic Senators running for re-election.

8. I really wonder what he knew after Scalia died that made him make that decision.

Because he knew something was up and didn't tell us. Of course it may take him getting hauled before a court before we get the truth.
