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
