I suppose it’s nothing to joke about, but hell, what else is there to do?

Senate Republicans used the “nuclear option” Thursday to change the chamber’s rules and clear the way for the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch.

The rules change will enable Gorsuch to easily pass through the Senate with a simple majority instead of the now-defunct 60-vote threshold. A final confirmation vote is expected Friday.

1. Gorsuch will be followed by another fascist on the court and

then America the way we know her is gone, for good.

All rights other than wall street will be gone.

You want to sue for a product that killed your grand-daughter? Fuck off, not anymore you wont.

You dont want to pay $2000 to VISA for the tv the guy bought with your card after you left it on the counter at the grocery store?

2. Well, we knew that was coming.

Of course, the Republicans already went nuclear, IMO, when they refused to even give Judge Garland a hearing.

5. As one Democrat said...

...the Republicans already went nuclear with Judge Garland. This is just the fallout.

(I think it was Congressman Schiff.)
