This is it folks! For any of you who thought there was one modicum of decency in these bastards it is long past time you wake the hell up. They are perverse with their lust for power. Nothing else matters to them and they will crush you like you're a bug without remorse.

When they wear t-shirts telling us they'd rather be Russian; a country that is out to destroy us, than a Democrat - they fucking mean it.

This packing the courts is their last desperate attempt to stop the will of the people. They see the writing on the wall and know without suppressing the vote, gerrymandering and anything else they can cook up they will lose elections. This is their goalie in net. if their cheating and stealing fails then this is their fail safe.

First order of business is to end the filibuster, then add a shit ton of SCOTUS justices and then multiply the Federal District Courts by three and appoint progressive judges to the newly created courts.

We must squeeze them by the balls until they scream in agony and they regret all the stinking shit they've pulled!
