“Of course we don’t need to wait until the next presidential election, that would be absurd,” said McConnell. “But a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court is too important to be left for confirmation by this Senate while only a year remains before we have new Senators sworn in. We should table this matter until the President’s nomination can be considered by a new Senate in January 2023.” ---

Manchin has NO credibility for saying ‘this is so important that we need a bipartisan confirmation vote of 60 Senators’ (and Sinema has even less credibility for such a stance). Yet to get headlines, either or both will have to go there. And they both do love those headlines. > Staking a claim to Future Schadenfreude: _everything goes well for Democrats in coming months and they wind up with 52 Senators…rendering M & S **utterly and completely irrelevant**._ Aw, poor M & S! ---

Because you can’t actually use LGB coin to _buy_ anything. It’s a collectible. It’s like an buying an Elvis collectible coin, except you don’t get a collectible coin because it’s imaginary. The only reason to buy LGB coin is to pwn the libs. It’s seriously the biggest scam ever. ---

Yes I realize that, although they are idiots, even Trump et. al. have enough savy to realize that LGB coin is a scam that they don’t want to be on the receiving end of. I was just riffing on the unlikelihood of LGBTs ever being useful for anything if even the epitome of their intended audience won’t take them.
