Seriously - they know he’s a useful fucking imbecile, but once they get their new judge, they'd rather lose the senate by one seat less than save his presidency. McConnell and his minions would be thrilled with four years of Biden and the Democrats struggling to pass laws that aren’t struck down, and the opportunity to win back both houses in 2022 before running a competent ideologue in 2024.

If the Affordable Care act gets struck down by the newly realigned court, the impact of such a decision won’t be felt under the dying light of the current regime; unless a replacement is passed in double quick time, it'll all be on Biden and the Democratic Party and the disingenuous GOP slum lords won’t hesitate to hammer that point home.

... and we have the federal legislature for the size of Mexico.

We'll see, RGB's death might be a new birth of progressiveness for the US.

Cares about...period.

He isn’t going to give up his power to some wanna be tin pot dictator, because that would be what he would be doing.

Remember when dotard said he was going to delay the election? Mcturtle shut him up and he quit talking about again.

And that by Trump suggesting such things, he is doing more harm than good to his reelection odds?
