A Flood Of Butthurt

Noah's Flood will seem like a a spilled glass of water when Trump announces his choice for Justice Scalia's replacement on the US Supreme Court. The wailing and lamentations of liberals will be enough to warm conservative heart cockles for decades.

From the NY Post:
President Trump is scheduled to announce his nominee for the vacant US Supreme Court seat this week. There should be no illusions about the confirmation battle that will follow.

No matter what Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says about revenge not being a motive for Democrats or how fair they plan to be, there’s only one way the Republicans will be able to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

It’s nuclear or nothing.

The so-called nuclear option would happen if Republicans fully quash the filibuster, a process Democrats began eroding in 2013 when they nuked the filibuster for most judicial and executive-branch nominees.

The Democrats had the majority then, and heedless of the possibility that the tables might soon be turned, former leader Harry Reid decided to short-circuit the ability of the minority to frustrate the will of President Obama by forcing Democrats to get 60 votes on nominees.

Republican House Majority Leader McConnell, release the Kracken!
God bless you Harry Reid.  May the Rubber Band Of Karma strike you repeatedly in the face.
May Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schemer enjoy the same success.

But I ... Trump can't ... why is this ... I gotta pee

I hope you're right, but there's an awful lot of weak kneed republicans.

Ok, then it's nuclear.

People voted for President Trump to set things right and replace Justice Scalia (and I hope several more). It would be nice to replace Ginzburg and the wise Latina...

LOL ! Lovin it.

I just want to see some GOP guy say "We gotta pass it to find out what's in it!" Lol....

You are older than him, aren't you Sig? I'd still like to see you take him. I think you could, and for the country just might. *grins*

Doom - He's a sick old man. I think nature will take its course with Reid rather quickly.

Odie - As we now know who the nominee is, those Republicans who are wavering best prepare for a Trump onslaught.

LL - probably might could be. I'd better start working on my photoshop of Trump riding down Slim Pickens nuke waving a cowboy hat.

Kid - now THAT would be awesome! We need to see that.
