      I’d rather he stroke out and have to sit drooling all over himself in a puddle of his own shit trapped in his mind and unable to communicate with anyone for a few years. Death is too easy for this asshole.

    By the way, on packing the Supreme Court … you may know this already. It’s unconstitutional.

    The only things the constitution has to say on the matter of the supreme court are: there has to be one, the supreme court judges should be paid, and the president can appoint supreme court justices with the advice and consent of the senate. It is completely silent on matters of how many supreme court justices there should be, or how long their terms should be.

    For all his many, many faults, Mitch McConnell is not a profoundly stupid man, so I’m sure he knows this. Since he very likely knows this already, he probably has a reason for lying to the public on the matter. If the president does appoint several more justices, it’s not like the Republicans can sue: no lower court would take the case, and the supreme court would already be packed with people who will actually be faithful to the constitution. So legal threats are a complete non-starter. That just leaves non-legal threats, which is what I think this is. I think Glitch is previewing the Republican strategy in the case of Harris getting more justices hired, which is they’ll stoke up the fear and hatred of their idiotic, mouth breathing supporters. It’s a thinly-veiled threat of treason.

      Nah, he’ll never die. You can’t kill a flesh-golem directly, you have to find its master and break the summon.

      He is going to die. When I don’t know. But I heard speculation that he has some kind of skin cancer and degenerative disorders (as exemplified by him just suddenly freezing and needing someone to tap his shoulder to get him to come around).

      But even if he dies before I finish this comment he has already groomed his successor to take place. Despite being in alleged democracy these people have their shit done in a way that their own party will never really change.

    he’s totally okay with handing fascists over as long as those fascists “promise” to give him a seat at the table when they take over the country

    and you know what they say about people who sit at the table of fascists? (they’re also fascists)

    Oh, he’s more worried about the nightmare for the GOP. Not for the country. Imagine that - he’s more worried about the potential for the power of a political party to be diminished than he is about the end of the country.

    Oh, no, many of the things he did. What a nightmare. Won’t anyone consider the plight of the male, pale, and stale. Oh the humanity.

    If this were true, I’d be tempted to drop everything and volunteer for the Harris campaign.
