Sen. Blumenthal: GOP Doesn’t Have History On Their Side | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Who cares
The Republicans lost the right side of history when they let Dixicrats into the party.
Lets remove health care coverage for every civil servant. When they take away our health coverage why are we providing them health care coverage? So the GOP thinks it’s ok to take my health care coverage away, but expect me to provide health care coverage to everyone from the dog catcher to the white house? How does that work?
The Democrats must emphasize the perverse nature of the reason behind this rushed and unusual nomination: the evil plot to strip away medical coverage to tens of millions of Americans and then to endanger the lives of women to may need to terminate a pregnancy, despite the fact that the majority of Americans support both measures. This has nothing to do with ideology, “christian values” or anything else but fanaticism, hypocrisy and greed. Republicans want to mantain the fact thatbAmerica is the only industrialized nation that has no universsl medical coverage, the “richest” nation in the world forces its citizens to die, because they can’t afford it, or go bankrupt for medical treatment that in Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, etc, is offered to their citizens for almost nono, or no costnat all. This system of perversion is preserved by the Republican elite because they receive contributions from the big corporations, hospitals and big pharma, to keep fleecing the citizens of this nation. Again, most Americans support these measure, but their “representatives” in Congress, corrupt Republicans, support their donors, not the people who vote for them.
Such arrogance on the republican side.
CNN and MSNBC viewers are brainwashed. Herd Stupidity. Obama’s Administration was corrupt and the Russian collusion hoax was created by them. The Democratic Party is lost. If your hate for Trump is greater than your love for the country – Vote Biden Harris.
Dear Democratic dummies President Trump is president. Can you understand that? His job is to fill the Supreme Court vacancy. Can you understand that? Do you know what the US Constitution says? Have somebody read it to you.
Thats my senator!
Mr Vietnam. Remember all those Tales of being in Vietnam except he was never there
It looks like we will be forced to expand the supreme court to protect the rights of the American people.
Wow! I am voting and praying to God we did rid of these puppets for tRump. They are more dangerous than their Puppet Master!
THE G. O. P. IS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRAITOR TRUMP WIL BE DEFEATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BIDEN HARRIS 2020!!!!!!!!!!
NO LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO QUITTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vote your consciousness, you/me 2020
Trump would rather destroy the ACA to spite Obama than actually do anything useful for the American people. It’s a pity he hasn’t put as much effort into other critical aspect of the presidency (tackling coronavirus effectively, rent and mortgage protection and financial support for people affected by pandemic etc…) as he has into ACB’s confirmation and destroying Obamacare.
Just because you “tick the boxes” does not mean you get “The Right” to do “whatever you please”.
Especially, when it hurts REAL PEOPLE.
Donald Trump and his GOP cronies have done litterally NOTHING right these 4 years. So why would they do it now. What’s left after November 3rd is a wreckage and agáin the Democrats have to clean up the mess. For which they will be blamed afterward or for which a Republican will claim the credits, as Trump did shamelessly. Barrett is an Opus Dei radical. Why would you put a well documented ideological radical and religious zealot on a SCOTUS seat in haste? To wreak more havoc. The fact that women have no right to decide for themselves (although better education might certainly help prevent heartship and pain) is in and of itself an archaic, patriarchal, male domination issue. It would be totally against the 1.st Article. Same goes for equal rights to have access to every medical care regardless of whatever. Amercia is a third world country when it comes to human rights, equality, equity, sentences, disparity, disproportionate military industrial complex. Completely bonkers. Maybe…….a civil war is required to be able to hit some reset button. Unfortunate but eerily palable.
Democrats are getting their secret weapon Christine Blasey Ford ready…LOL.
Joe HIDEn your wife & kids from this man.
Graham is a pathetic excuse of a human being.
Barrett’s confirmation is the GOP’s primary consideration at this point, even holding the Senate, is secondary to it. The voter has no say and the impact will be felt beyond this election, ‘whatever’ the outcome. I suspect if McConnell had been offered 3 SC Justices, for the loss of the Presidency and the Senate he’d have said yes.
If Barrett had any integrity she’d remove herself from the nomination. The SCOTUS is the peoples court and the people see she is only a conservative dump. Nominated before Ginsburg was even in the ground. So disrespectful. Barrett will never have my respect.
The proceedings should be shut down until they all come safely .
Donnie breaks everything he f’n touches! But he cant break my American spirit!! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
