Sen. Dick Durbin: It’s A Sad Day In The Senate | Morning Joe | MSNBC
A note for my right-leaning family and friends from my left-leaning self as we all head down the road to the election:
They say we want to disband police departments (and that we hate the police): we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to weed out racism and unnecessary police brutality and for those who abuse their power to be held accountable.
They say we want to release all prisoners: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to weed out racism and ensure the punishments match the crimes and to deprivatize prisons.
They say we want open borders: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want asylum seekers to be given their chance to seek asylum. We want to help people who are coming from unimaginable terror and poverty, to help to give them the chance we have. We want to ensure children aren’t separated from their parents and that nobody is kept in cages. But we do want proper vetting.
They say we want to take away your guns: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want logical gun control to help prevent mass shootings.
They say we want to wage a war on Christianity and Christian values: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want people of all religions to be able to practice and worship freely. Some of us love Jesus too.
They say we want to get everything for free, or that we think handouts are okay: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to work hard and make sure that healthcare and education are affordable for ALL.
They say we want a war against traditional marriage: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want all people to be able to love freely, no matter who you love.
They say we want to destroy or rewrite history: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to recognize the ugly parts of our past and do everything we can to say “that’s not okay, let’s not honor those aggressors, let’s not let those things happen again.”
They say we want to take away your constitutional rights: we don’t, that’s a lie. We choose to believe science and wear masks and try to prevent the spread of this disease.
They say we hate America: we don’t, that’s a lie. We just recognize our faults and want us to do better, be better.
Stop with the us vs. them. Our position is one of empathy, compassion, and logic. Please stop believing the hype. Stop with the division. Stop with the generalizations.
Just because we want equality for all doesn’t mean we want to take anything away from you.

In other words one side is ruthless and does not care about decorum, or fairness anymore and the other side will do nothing to stop them apart from performative protest , and appeal to their non existent sense of decency. Welcome to fascism.
Vote them out, get rid of all of them! #VoteBlueForever #WeTheAmericanPeople #WhitehouseOURHouse #DonTheCon #TrumpCartel #RepublicanCartel #BringThemToJustice
He has no honour at all.. TRUMP is a desgusting human being…
I am not saddened for not one cowardly Repugasslicken trump supporter .
Congress needs to move forward with Trump Impeachment 2.0.
Republicans, the lies never stop.
Time for Americans to storm McConnell and the senate. If Biden and Dems take all time to add to scotus
Donald Trump’s Administration, Cabinet, and Republicans party disturbed peace of ” Ruth Bader Ginsberg ”
No honour or respect for the death!
As Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s passed away.
You have affected are family….you idiots you won’t let us work…and won’t give us are money…….FAKE A$$ NEWS AND POLITICIANS….ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS A CHAIR….BUT F….. THE PEOPLE
MSNBC PROMOTES ANASSASINATION ATTEMPT ON THE US PRESIDENT
In our country we call it 2 faced !!
Democrats, bunch of wimps. Republicans crap all over them and they allow it.
And for the Trump administration, Jill Stein is the gift that just keeps on giving. I hope she never has a moment’s peace.
FILL THAT SEAT!!! TRUMP/PENCE2020!!!
“Out of respect”?! How laughable. RBG’s body wasnt even cold and McConnell was skipping thru the Halls of Washington crying “We’ll fill her seat asap!” This is THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL reaction by our “leaders” small “l”. Very small.
You can’t out-trump stupid, and you can’t out-stupid Trump. #864511320
She should have retired under Obama.
Senator Klobuchar in 2016, said it was the senates constitutional duty to consider a new justice!!!!!!!!
Good luck convincing a trump worshiper of anything. After the damage is done they may realize what they have been blind to. Some will just sit there hungry and dying of COVID saying, I won! Ignorance is bliss.
FROM OZ why does the Democrats just wring their hands and say there nothing we can do they can do lot they do not have the courage of RBG. When this GOP is playing as dirty as they can all in plain sight. They need take the gloves off play as dirty as these two face GOP politicians are doing, The GOP politicians are only interested in grabbing power.for themselves and have lied also to their own supports very disgraceful in a democratic country like USA
I think that there’s a impeachment in the works
Republicans have now lost all credibility’s
They dont lern their lesson even more people
are going to vote them out because Trump wants to get someone who
would agree to cut Obama Care
Biden had a script written for him to know how he feels about the death of Ruth Ginsburg.
Hypocrisy and scumbagery is what works for them I guess. They’re winning. This POS is going to seat 3 Supreme Court Justices.
They’re winning.
“Joe I know U want to draw me into this speculation” The DEMS will do / say anything for POWER, if the tables were turned they would too! Trump will nominate, the Senate will vote trump’s nomination as a Justice to SCOTUS! Here is some speculation, JOE, This new Justice will help determine MASS MAIL OUT BALLOTS are fraudulent and the winner is TRUMP 2020 !!
Enough is enough America please VOTE, how quick they flip on the page the dear Republicans. And how to forget Trump the biggest Disgrace to America the enemy within, pathetic to have in a 1st world country a corrupt President, someone who dodge Vietnam and be accountable for 190000 American people dead because he downplay the seriousness of COVID-19 he doesn’t care about the American people, Disgraceful President ,Fraud , Tax evasion doing things that are not even allowed, along the Republicans who help him to get away with it, without forgetting his FOX minions like Sean Hannity. Stop comparing America VS the world, he rambles every time America First. The true is America deserves better more than never even when they are trying to suppress votes, show up come togheter and VOTE get your country back get a 1st world leader for a 1st world country. Set an example out of him and everyone involved. For future Presidents because this cannot happen ever again you deserve better. Hopefully America will set an example out of him because this is a disgrace and hopefully the LAW will do the right thing and show the American people and the world what the USA country really is. Where nobody is above the law
The Supreme court was never meant to be a political football.

#45 Nightmare on Pennsylvania Ave, NW Time to get creepy crawler and his goons gone!!!
They couldn’t wait for her to die such disregard disrespect shamefull
I hope the GOP actions seal their fate on election day. The hypocrisy is stunning, the way they manipulate US law to suit themselves when THEY are in power, and twist it again to suit themselves when they are in opposition.
I hope they are voted into extinction, which is what they deserve. To quote something your right wing Evangelicals should appreciate: they deserve to wander 40 years in the desert and DIE OUT.
I could have been a hypocrite and a traitor, but I decided to be a Democrat instead.
Why even hold services for her? You are already blatantly defying her dying last wish.
Globalist and fake news hate Trump no matter what he does, because he isn’t a part of their club. The majority got sick and tired of career politicians and elected an outsider. Will the majority vote back in a Career Politician as POTUS?
In case anyone missed it, this is what a normal politician sounds like – looking for what’s right, not “I’m right, you’re wrong!”
FDR only threatened to expand the court. It was not a political failure for FDR.
Trump has been a huge part in making 2020 the worst year in the lives of many. His refusal to take action on Covid-19 resulting in over 200,000 American lives. He continues to spew words and make promises that have gone unfulfilled in his presidency. He lacks integrity, honor, compassion and honesty. His essence is vile.
#BidenHarris2020
Pathetic bloated turnip.
