This is gonna come across as nuts, but I dig the hell out of Mitch. Up until the Trump takeover he was one of the most badass senators around, and he got a lot done for Kentucky. Some personal...ish connections. Without him i'm not sure a friend of a friend wouldn't have been a district judge. Rand tried to torpedo him and I've hated Rand ever since.

People like to shit on Mitch in the Trump era, but the guy was a powerhouse for a long time for a reason.

It's also egotism, that they think they hold sway over the politicians and that voting against them will make the party be more favorable to you. Usually being a baby whiner doesn't pay off that well.

I don't know if ego plays as much into it because those types will change their opinions like the wind.

I both hate and love that Nikki Minaj is MAGA, lol.

I'm sick of leftists spewing the whole "DrUmPf Is A rEaLiTy Tv StAr" mantra as if it's offensive how celebrities have political importance. These bitches were the first to tout celebrity endorsements and propagandized the masses into giving a shit about what some actor or singer has to say about politics.

They'll cry "IDIOCRACY!" at us while they get excited over Taylor Swift publicly showing support for Kamala Harris.

The fact of the matter is that the Democrats are big mad about Republicans finally catching up to them and playing the same fucking game. So yeah, I hate that so many people care about celebrities this much, but hey, if that's the game, then it needs to be played. Welcome aboard the MAGA train, Nicki. lol.

I hate Mitch, but even I have to give the man big kudos for saving the country from Supreme Court Justice Merrick Garland.

Garland's job during the Biden administration proved that he would have been an absolute nightmare in the SCOTUS.

Huuuuuge bullet dodged, and even the staunchest MAGA supporters need to acknowledge that.

I haven't forgotten that they tried to paint Garland as a moderate.

It's also retarded given Trump only became a reality TV star because he was already successful at something else, specifically his real estate empire. He was a massively successful businessman so he got his own TV show about... being a businessman.

He's not Oprah where he only got famous by being a media personality and that's all he's known for.

It's like someone trying to shit on Gordon Ramsey as a cook by calling him a "TV host" despite the fact that he only got a TV show in the first place because he was already a super talented and successful actual chef.

That's the nihilism, that they believe in nothing but will fall for anything.

The egotism is that whatever fairy tale they believe in today like we see with calling everyone pedos they don't like is somehow a good faith argument or something worth doing at all. They think they're always right so ad hominem arguments are the best method. We see that here on the tourists all the time especially that. one geezer.
 
I love that The Late Show is being replaced with Byron Allen’s Comics Unleashed, which not only is token diversity hire for a black man who pretends he’s entertainment elite (he would buy airtime after midnight to pretend he had an audience), but the show is the most hackney, cringey setup for unfunny comedians to try new material. I can’t believe it’s still on the air.

Graham is always cooperative when he's up for reelection. Happens like clockwork. Much as I dislike him, it proves he's a hell of a lot smarter than someone like Massie or MTG.

Graham is a survivor and knows how to play the game. He'll get his pet projects slipped past as long as he plays nice. As long as he does that, he can stay in the closet.

He did a lot. He saved the court for at least another decade. He got old and cranky though.

It was so funny how he did it too. He cockblocked obama damn near a year before the election, telling the "hey, it's an election year, we need to let the people have their say" coining the so called mitch rule. Then turned around and rammed ACB down the dem's throats 4 years later.. 2 months before the election she was confirmed.

Mitch had some big old balls.

ACB is better than RGB I suppose,. but certainly the squishiest. They had a legit chance to completely kill the NFA but she was a hold out so it ended up being an mildly ok outcome instead of the kill shot needed to it.

I also think Mitch was emboldened in 2020 considering how the Dems treated Kavanaugh two years prior.

Garland is such a far left statist that he makes Ketanji Brown Jackson look moderate by comparison.

Dude is one evil motherfucker.

And he's smart enough to couch his bullshit unlike Jackson.

Mitch was part of the old guard. Trump is the standard bearer of the new guard. There was bound to be clashes

Mitch really doesn't get enough credit for actually giving the Democrats a taste of their own fucking medicine. I know it's fun to shit on him and a lot of people hate the guy, but I will be forever grateful that he did that - not just securing a conservative Supreme Court, but pissing in the Democrat's faces and telling them they better drink up.
