No, no, no. No Merrick Garland for FBI director, you idiots!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) is running for president in 2020. She thinks that Obama-style “let’s all get along and find common ground” thinking will get her the nod. So yes, she’s obviously misreading the base electorate’s mood and she won’t win, so who gives a shit, right? Well, except that it leads to her saying stupid shit like this:

The reasons this is insane should be obvious: 1) Republicans would get to replace Garland on a critical appellate circuit court, and 2) popular-vote loser Donald Trump could turn around and fire Garland a week later and nominate the Russian ambassador instead. And the Senate GOP would vote to confirm, because they are all co-conspirators in Trump’s treason. 

Not to mention, after what they did to Garland’s Supreme Court nomination, even saying his name is a gross insult to Democrats.

And yet there is Klobuchar, thinking that this is somehow a “great idea.” 

Now she was all alone on that limb yesterday, but unfortunately today she has company.
