Hello Chuck,

Cancer kills. That is why a cure is needed.
>>>Generally, this close to an election, the trend was to wait until

>>Not for Moscow Mitch. Trump will nominate a new justice. Moscow

Moscow Mitch's lie for refusing to allow a hearing or a vote
for a president's nomination for a justice on the USSC has been
exposed. What was the lie? In 2016 he said no president should
be allowed to have a justice who has been nominated during an
election year confirmed by the Senate. Well, guess what? This is
an election year. And Moscow Mitch says it is perfectly fine for
the president to nominate a justice and for the Senate to confirm
that nominee during an election year. What a fucking hypocrite.
And all who go along with him.
>>Well, guess what? This is 2020. Another election year. Do you think
>>Moscow Mitch is going to invoke his own made-up rule in order to
>>deny his own president the right to nominate a justice to the USSC?

>There was an article I read the other day that talked about this.
Would you like me to quote Moscow Mitch's own words?
>I wish I could find it now.
Nobody can change the words Moscow Mitch spoke.
>It showed a while lot of inconsistency from both parties on how this sort of

There is no inconsistency. Moscow Mitch said what he said.
