That would have been plenty of time, in most cases, and there would be little reason to do it before the last handful of months, until Mitch made one.

When people say that RBG should have retired when Obama could have nominated her replacement, I sincerely doubt that they are thinking she should have done it in 2016 when the Republicans held the Senate. They likely mean that she should have done it in 2014 or earlier, when the Democrats still controlled the Senate. That means that Merrick Garland is completely irrelevant when it comes to whatever went through RBG's mind regarding her retirement. Do you honestly believe that she was still mulling over retirement in March 2016?

Considering she was apparently going to retire once Hillary was in office so Hillary could pick her replacement... months later... yes?

Nah, a quick Google search suggests that he actually donated to Trump for President. If you're donating to the campaign you're pretty clearly a supporter.

I like how some people are listed twice and his wife and kids make the list as activists that support Trump.

Dude also performed with his band at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally this year, which was a super spreader event. He's also been known to to be a COVIDiot.

Unless you’re willing to be at least a little bit welcoming of people who disagree with you (or perhaps people who have disagreed with you in the past) building a political coalition becomes very difficult.
We see that with the Lincoln Project, who get a lot of flack from the Left for not being part of a truly leftist-reformer movement in the US. And yes, Lincoln Project are Republicans. Yes, they identify with traditional Republican viewpoints and values. Yes, if they succeed in purging Trumpism from the GOP they will go right back to criticizing and attacking Democrats. And... that’s OK. Because the stakes here are too high to be worried about whether everyone agrees on everything. They agree on what has to be the most important and highest priority for American democracy right now: getting rid of Trump and restoring democratic (small d) norms and values. We can all go back to fighting each other over what vision for democracy is best after we’ve joined forces to save the institution and the polity itself.
All I’m saying is: let’s not shoot the messenger here—it’s the message that matters: Trump is dangerously unfit for office and needs to go.

The White House science office listed "ending the COVID-19 pandemic" as the top accomplishment of President Trump's first term, even as the U.S. has set records for new daily infections and numerous hospitals across the country are stretched to their breaking points.
According to a press release intended to highlight the administration's science accomplishments, the Trump administration said it "has taken decisive actions to engage scientists and health professionals in academia, industry, and government to understand, treat, and defeat the disease."

Yeah, Jericho has fully embraced the alt+right idiocy over the last couple years, even having Donald Trump Jr. on his podcast last year.

Well... that's disappointing.
On another surprising note, Conrad Black endorses Trump. Didn't know he was still alive

Don't worry y'all, Dave Bautista is the exact opposite. And he's also 10x cooler than Jericho.
