The Conservative Appeals Judgeships Tap needs to get turned off, the sooner the better, with Moscow Mitch getting the boot.

Martha McSally. She’s currently finishing McCain’s term and is a useless blot on humanity. She was the congressional rep for district 2 here before that and made herself deeply **deeply** unpopular by refusing to meet any constituents until she more or less was forced to. Someone asked a critical of her question and she fled the town hall meeting and her staff ended the meeting. Wrong district to try that in as that was Gabby Giffords and then Ron Barber’s seat. Both did post shooting Congress on your corner meet and greets (Barber was shot at the same event Gabby was).

Plus she keeps being all " women solidarity! " then voting against things like funding for Planned Parenthood.

My bumper sticker would read “Dump Moscow Mitch and Putin’s Bitch 2020”

Of COURSE Moscow Mitch. Yes Lindsay the sucker of orange. Susan Collins who was SO troubled to confirm a drunken sexual predator but does anyway.

In a nutshell, ALL Republicans. They have sold their souls to Satan and I don’t think he has a return policy. This party needs to die and let responsible adults form a new opposition party.

All of the loathsome people suggested so far are eminently worthy, but Moscow Mitch would be the most consequential and therefore gets my negative vote.

I only get to pick one?

Fuck it; I’m gonna go full Deus Ex Machina mode. The day before Election Day, the universe undergoes a quantum shift, and the Book of Revelation becomes accurate. And the Rapture happens, but it only takes every voter who is inclined to vote R. The day AFTER the election, they all get sent back (because it was only a trial run).

And the day after _that_, the universal quantum shift reverses itself, and the Creator of the Universe fucks back off into non-existence, like a good little Deus Ex Machina should.

I’ll start here: the following are either already older than 80 years old, or would be over 80 by the time their next term is up. I don’t think we need any octogenarians in the US Senate.

Pat Roberts - 83 - Kansas - Retiring in 2020  
Lamar Alexander - 79 - Tennessee - Retiring in 2020  
Mike Enzi - 75 - Wyoming - Retiring in 2020  
Jim Risch - 76 - Idaho  
Mitch McConnell - 77 - Kentucky  
Jim Inhofe - 84 - Oklahoma - i don’t think has declared 2020 candidacy yet  
Otherwise, is it cheating for me to say my answer is Mike Pence?

I’m hoping for impeachment and Trump’s being tossed. Then I want to see Mikey lose or be aborted.

Naw, I want DJT to be impeached and Mikey going down with him. He’s just as dirty. Which leaves President Pelosi to lead the country into 2020.  
I want a pony too.

Joe Arapio has declared he’s running for sheriff again in 2020. So, him, after all the ones already mentioned. (Moscow Mitch, Graham Cracker, and 2-3 more R senators needed to flip the Senate and keep it safe from Manchin’s “bipartisonship”)

Keeping politics local…

How about my idiot Congressman, The leader of the Free Dumb caucus, Pizza raider of the SCIF, never met a “campaign contribution” he wouldn’t sell out for, trump’s lead cheerleader and butt kisser, the next Fox news pundit, ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Andy Biggs!

That actually raises a question : the trend of absolute fuckery on the part of contemporary republicans was probably ushered by Newt Gingrich and now, of course, by Yertle the Turtle. But is there an heir to the throne who will, in the words of Paul Pierson, be “dedicated not to govern but to making governance impossible” ?

Congressman Duncan Hunter. He is running again next year despite being under indictment for misusing $250,000 of campaign funds.
