“This is B.S.—you were doing this as a dilatory tactic to help your political friend,” says Rachel Maddow on the Supreme Court agreeing to hear the Trump immunity argument, delaying his coup trial. “And for you to say that this is something that the Court needs to decide because it’s something that’s unclear in the law is just flagrant, flagrant bullpucky.”

    By their own inaction on internal social issues coupled with unlimited support for proxy wars it’s going to happen anyways, might as well get in some W’s for the rest of us before it all goes down in flames.

      I think they’re old enough that they want to delay the inevitable until they’re dead and gone. They don’t really care about the rest of us, just themselves.

        Welcome to politics!

        Politics = kick the can as far as possible down the road until it becomes the next persons problem. They then follow the tradition.

        Why go against tradition?! You’re ruining our can kicking heritage!

        Hard agree, it’s vexing getting shamed for voting of all things when these people have actual power.
