DJT's GOP is filling the swamp, not draining it

That's the bench's quiet observation. They'll follow the 17th Amendment for a Senate appointment—but ignore Article I, Section 10 for 113 years of paper money. The carnival picks and chooses which parts of the Constitution to enforce.

Lynsey supported Israel who slaughtered 75,000 Palestinians

Ew. Theyre trying to make it so emotional but no, I dont care what anyone says. He was a damned monster.

Remember that woodrow Wilson's wife basically took over for him ,but, as it were Nancy boy Lindsey didn't EVER marry .hmmmm.
What a conflict!!? Being almost openly gay and also conservative.

@
Does that make her a hereditary peer of the Senate, should she be Lord Graham now?

Doesnt sound like a republic that so many americans died fighting for
@
We’re now back to kings and queens

Talk about Nepotism right there

Question? If you are appointed and serve, you are entitled to Congressional lifetime benefits.

The idea is that any nice person can be a US Senator. There is no need to have any experience or knowledge. Just vote with the Party.........
@
How is these even legal? Appointing a totally unqualified relative to fill a Senate seat because tRump wants the votes. Hopefully this will be challenged! I guess this governor is part of the good ol' boy network. Disgusting!

Isn’t that just special. The GOP now has hereditary Senate seats.
