His win is a direct result of the Supreme Court’s decision in a pivotal LGBTQ+ rights case.

    They were convinced Trump didn’t have a shot at winning and the legislative branch was also intentionally holding up new judge appointments in Obama’s last term.

      Yup, who would’ve thought that in the end, RBG and Mitch McConnell would be the wonder twins of any political goal?

      When he refused to even bring the Garland vote to the floor, that’s when I knew I’d make a terrible leader.

      The way our system is set up that a single politician who is only elected by half the population of Kentucky can unilaterally alter the composition of the highest court in the land for decades by deciding not to do his job is absolutely ridiculous. And if I were able to call the shot when it happened, I’d have seen him at the end of a short rope on the front lawn of the capitol for it. I know that’s not the legal, moral, responsible way of handling situations like that, but that’s what I’d have liked to see.

        Yeah very relatable. This tyranny of the minority bullshit conservatives are pulling off is infuriating. And every time it feels like they get handled with kid gloves.
