you're going to get from a Trump appointment and a Republican Senate?

Our Democracy is hanging by a thread. Barrett and Roberts may be the only thing keeping us from Descending into a full-scale dictatorship.

We can only play the cards that are dealt us. A Republican House and Senate (Article 1), a Republican Presidency (Article 2), a super majority (6-3) Republican appointed Supreme Court (Article 3). The American voters, in all their wisdom, have dealt us a pair of deuces. All we can hope is that hand holds up.
