1. No shit.

Republicans have their campaign issue to energize their base. Democrats need to overwhelm or go home. Everything is at stake.

As for Kennedy, what a sour note to go out on. A tarnish on his mishmash of a career. Dumb move imo.

2. Why is the timing suspicious?

It's been rumored for the entire year that he might retire at the end of the Court's term

6. It's just unusual for an 81 year old to suddenly do that

7. Some people aren't going to realize you're being sarcastic, y'know

[SCantiGOP]

8. Sen Grassely asked him publicly

To go ahead and retire in time to have his replacement confirmed by this Senate if he was going to leave this year.
This was about 2 months ago, so nothing secret or suspicious about it.

3. He gave him

An offer he couldn't refuse. Changing the narrative again don't talk about the children that were taken away

4. Very.

Do some research on Kennedy's children and who they are in business with.

5. Bribed, I think. His sons will prosper.

9. Hell Yeah.. That would be the right move. Not sure why you guys dont understand that.

Of course they want another Conservative supreme court justice. Conservatives want conservative ways in the USA.

They won the election, control USA and they get what they want.

I hate it.. Im pissed off how they are able to push over the week democrats who dont seem to have the strength to fight back.

People, If democrats follow the rules... and republicans dont follow the rules..

Odds are Republicans will win.

Democrats better start figuring this out quickly.
