BREAKING: McConnell will move to halt Senate floor activity until Oct. 19, but will permit Judiciary Committee’s SCOTUS hearings to continue.

So...the Senate WON’T work to pass relief for Americans during the Coronavirus pandemic, but will continue to steal another SCOTUS seat.

#MoscowMitch only cares about a republican stranglehold on power, not about the well-being of Americans!

1. Schumer had better block this. n/t

6. How can he?

I don’t think Schumer has any way to stop this. Of course, if the Republicans on the committee keep testing positive, this might be moot anyway.

7. He has to agree to the recess the Turtle wants.

He can block that part of the scheme.

2. Political power, not the good of the people is their priority and has been since Reagan.

They get worse every election cycle.

3. Why do the people of the great state of Kentucky....

continue to elect this jackass over, and over, and over again? How clearly can it be made that he doesn't care an iota about them, but wants only to enrich himself and retain a stranglehold on power?

WAKE UP, KENTUCKIANS!

4. KY/TN are beyond red

Get outside the cities and it’s Deliverance

Like the FL panhandle

5. Well, Mitch. Good luck getting that quorum.

Sociopath.
