Attacking GOP Court Packing

Packing #SCOTUS has become a Washington power struggle that will continue for years. It was the most partisan confirmation vote for a Supreme Court justice in modern American history and the first time since 1869 that justice was confirmed without a single vote from the opposing party.

The US Constitution allows Congress to determine how many justices should make up the SCOTUS. That number has ranged from 6 to 10, before settling at 9. If they win control, Democrats can now expand the number to remedy GOP court-packing.

Why have Republican advisers plunged into a bitter round of finger-pointing and blame-shifting ahead of their increasingly likely defeat?

Long lines stretch for as far as the eye can see as registered voters turn out for early voting as some waited hours to cast ballots on the first time that early voting has been allowed in many states during a presidential election. Do the #Republicans remember the forgotten voter?

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as PelĆ©, is a retired āš½ļø soccer Superstar. Widely regarded as the greatest football player of all time, he is among the most successful and popular sports figures of the 20th century.

He learned as a kid, with his father Dondinho, that football is an instrument for the greater good. He learned that lesson when his das saw him dribbling a weaker opponent without any need and said to always respect rivals. Pele took that for life, always using his talent for love and peace.

Although he may not be happy with that old fat guy in The White House, who has been naughty and nor very nice to #WeThePeople these past years, Santa Claus is still a portly, jolly, white-bearded man with spectacles and wearing a red coat with white fur collar and cuffs, white-fur-cuffed red trousers, red hat with white fur, and black leather belt and boots and carrying a bag full of gifts for children.

POTUS Crashing

POTUS is in BIGLY trouble but some journalists aren’t overtly covering his desperation. The Donald rails against the press because of what he says is unfair media coverage.

His 20K lies and innumerable attacks against his adversaries are finally catching up to him as political karma, which is a bitch. This is a man who uses The Bible as a prop and rarely goes to church.

The fate of democracy relies on The Lone Star State. I lived and worked there long enough to learn that no one dares to mess with Texas. Oprah Winfrey is the main attraction participating in phone-banking marathons, including U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, former San Antonio Mayor JuliĆ”n Castro, and music legend Willie Nelson who has also been dialing for ballots. in fact, Nelson has been politically active going all the way back to when he helped Jimmy Carter win the presidency.

That it's so strange

Must be the season of the wish
