The Trump administration's bungled handling of the virus continues.
Trump's Republicans are amping up the bungling.

1,500+ alumni of Notre Dame have expressed their objection to ACB's appointment. Her own words and deeds, her lack of experience as a judge and her extreme religious stance should disqualify her as the kind of non-partisan justice America needs going into the troubled and uncharted waters of the future. And one more thing, her body language: scrutinizing Amy Coney Barrett's face and looking into her eyes I glimpse a trace of a strange unease, perhaps a sign of a troubled soul. The dubious fact that Trump in his ignorance always "picks the best people" is also hardly an endorsement to inspire confidence.

The proposal to send infectious people into the Senate to vote is so squalid. The Republican Party has fallen so low in the past few years.
If they won't play fair, then future Democratic Presidents will change the number of justices as soon as they have control of both houses.

Considering the mental deterioration of the sitting president, her name should be immediately withdrawn and the next nomination should be made by the next president.

Can vote remotely as needed.

Endangering other Senators and congressional staff cannot be permitted. Hearings must be delayed.

As McConnell said, the Senate will move forward, even if they have televised hearings.
Fantastic!

As well as the US turning into a 3rd world nation. But at least rich people will be fine.

Sure, like Kavanaugh voting with the Liberals...and how old is Thomas?
Looks like reality is finally catching up - they admit they'll lose the White House and Senate....
Given this week's posts, I'm sure they'll say that's "fantastic".....

I look forwarding to the Harris-Biden campaign finally saying that when asked. So far they just deflect and stumble over words in response to that question.
