    Scapegoating an 85-year old retiree? Not a good look.

      They’re literally doing it because it’s a great look to their base.

      If they came out and announced he would be executed by electric chair for crimes against humanity, MAGA would cream themselves. It would be paraded as the biggest win ever, and they’d be tripping over themselves to watch.

      We’re being held captive by the dumbest of us all being manipulated by the rich. It has to end.

      But it is precedent for doing the same to Trump if the Dems ever take the senate again.

        Precedent is utterly meaningless. Remember when placing a supreme court nominee the year before an a election would be Obama bias, and then the same exact people rammed through a placement literally while voting was happening?

        Precident doesn’t mean shit. Whoever is in power will just do what they want.

        Dems won’t do anything. Will just say we need to “move forward”
