#6 Literally nothing these buffoons say or do can be taken at face value.

They don't truly believe even half of what they post or posture or toot or tweet. It's just a game for them, one with very lucrative side hustles attached

#7 To Combat Right-Wing 'Assault' on Democracy, New Bill Would Add Four Seats to Supreme Court

You want 'democracy'? That would be making all the seats open for election say 10 years with a single second term for another 10. You think those who vote for things like gay marriage would have been around for the second?

#8 Isn't there a Parliamentary Rule that only allows people who voted *Against* to add "Corrections" to a prior bill? So this would be a "Robert's Rules of Order" tactic.

#9 So, four more liberal SCOTUS judges isn't enough and they are holding out for six?

#11 ... or this is a head fake, and they'll do some bullshit 'modifications' to the bill to satisfy the alleged moderates and push something substantially similar for a floor vote in six weeks.

If I want kabuki theater, gimme some K-pop chicks in hot, slutty clothes.
