59. Let's review...
Thu Feb 20, 2025, 08:30 PM
Thursday

1. Created out of whole cloth an imaginary rule that said Obama could not appoint a replacement for Antonin Scalia, clearly ignoring the Constitution.

2. Supported Trump and everything he did.

3. Shepherded and passed the largest tax cut for the uber rich in U.S. history stacking 8 trillion dollars in 4 years on the American debt.

4. Ignored #1 (above) and jammed Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court with days to go in the 2020 election.

5. Voted to acquit, rather than convict Trump, twice. He had the sole power in his hands to end the lunacy that is going on today and put history back on the right path. He instead tried to have it both ways: a strong, truthful, post January 6 speech, but then a vote for acquittal.

6. Stacking SCOTUS and lower courts with right wing judges (thankfully Biden and the Senate Dems undid the lower court damage by putting more judges on the bench than he did).

7. I will stop for now but there's much, much, more to say about McTurtle. History will be very unkind to him.
