Mitchie the Kid got exactly what the repukes wanted, Roe overturned, gun laws loosened, etc.

He couldn't care less if Benedict Donald goes down, he's just the flavor of the month to him, the repukes on the SC is his icing on the cake.

McTurtle WANTS TFG to go down. He hates him. McTurtle and the other pukes knew TFG was a stupid motherfucker and they thought they could control him. Now that they know what an loose cannon and a fucking narcissist he is, they want him gone.

Seems like I see this every day.

For the 1,000th time, 'ol Turtle is just fine with the fact he contributed to a SC Majority that may be in place for decades, and has already overturned Roe, loosened gun laws, and will undoubtedly have some more goodies for the American people in their next term.

He smiles every time he sees a 6-3 ruling, and couldn't care less about what Mr. Garland does or Doesn't do to TFG.

But between January 6th and Mar-a-lago, TFG is ruining the GOP brand, and it could definitely hurt them in the mid-terms. If McConnell doesn't get the Majority slot back, he's gonna be pissed...

It was possible, but by no means was it close to being guaranteed. The Democrats have an advantage in this year's Senate cycle.

McTurtle wanted to put his stamp on the SC and he got his wish. He doesn't give two 💩s about Garland as USAG

has yet to be calculated.

See beyond the horizon. See 3 more states added,,See the motion to expand the Supreme Court to match federal districts. Then see the term limit on new Supreme Court nominees.
