Democrats growing a backbone? I'll believe it when I see it.

Republicans blocked Obama’s appointees because it was “too close to elections, (a year away), and we should let the voters decide.” The idiot Dems went along with it, because they thought that Hillary would steamroll the next election. Trump won. Then a few years later when RBG died (only a few months before Biden was elected) they shamelessly rammed Trump’s appointee through.
If voters flip congress, I’d argue it is Schumer’s moral imperative to block anything and everything Trump tries to do, because the voters will have spoken. That’s the same reasoning for not appointing anyone during Obama’s second term, after all.
This should be table stakes for any party actively trying to oppose fascism.
But since we're hearing about it now and it's Schumer, let me predict:
- By January when democrats maybe have a senate majority, it'll be, "We'll need to look at every nominee case-by-case."
- By the time Alito steps down in 2027ish, it'll be, "We would need to see someone who isn't an idealogue."
- A month later when Trump nominates someone off of the Heritage Foundation's list, it'll be "There's no way they'll be confirmed, so we should have a vote."
- Then a few hours before the vote, Fetterman will announce he is switching to GOP along with one or two democratic senators with strangely full bank accounts.
I know the Dems, the idea that they'll actually stand up to Trump is laughable. They haven't done so in the past ten years, and they're not starting now.
If they have magically grown a spine, that's awesome, but I doubt it.
Listen to Schmuck acting all tough. Where was he when Mitch McConnell was stealing seats?
This fucking loser is the biggest coward in our government. All he cares about is Israel, Insider Trading, and destroying the careers of good Democrats (like Al Franken. He should be investigated as deeply as any MAGA, and well find that he was probably getting paid by MAGA to back off. Jeffries, too. Collaboration with MAGA is the only excuse for their fecklessness.
Maybe shut your fucking mouth when your enemy is making mistake after mistake?
