DNI said laptop is not part of Russian disinformation. Will Joe Biden deny that laptop the FBI has belongs to Hunter & emails pertaining to China & Ukraine are legitimate? If he won’t give an answer, why not?

In Dec 2019 FBI signed 2 pickup computer purported 2 B Hunter Biden’s from repair shop. Shop has Hunter’s signature 4 repair. When he never returned, after 90 days by contract, it became property of shop. News sources report they are investigating laptop for money laundering.

You spelled Amy Coathanger Barrett wrong

Here's what happens next: the DemocRats start crying when she becomes SCOTUSAmyConeyBarrett which is fun to watch 😂😂😂😂

Too bad RBG didn’t retire 4 years ago... Elections have Consequences.

If she truly believes in and follows the Constitution she would step back till after election . That would be unbiased and impartial . Exactly what SCJ is supposed to be . She’s obviously a republican loyalist . Clearly the best choice 2 weeks before election during a pandemic.

Amy Coney Barrett needs to get a real job. Like shovelling cow dung at a dairy farm. They'd have to teach her to wash her hands before meals, though.

The dark ages ...

Illegitimate process breaking all rules and precidents by the senategop! That should be your headline! senatemajldr and LindseyGrahamSC are lying hypocrites with the senategop and you should say that every single day or it’s dereliction of ethics in your reporting!

Report correctly, Amy Coney Barrett was approved only by Republicans against judicial committee rules

The world ends.

Mrs. Barrett proclaims herself as an Originalist(constitution must be interpreted based on the original understanding 'at the time it was adopted') I proclaim her as a loyalist, a Trump's loyalist, and nothing else.

😷CNN's ChrisCuomo is constantly on TV attacking anyone who does not wear a mask. Meanwhile, Cuomo's apartment building is threatening to fine him for repeatedly refusing to comply with its mask requirement.

GOP Hopes That Amy Coney Barrett Would Fire Up the Base FizzledIt’s unclear that killing Garland’s confirmation or forcing Kavanaugh’s did electoral magic for the GOP. The non-fight over Barrett sure won’t.

Amy Coney Barrett Supreme Court nomination moves to full Senate, Dems boycott voteBREAKING: The Senate Judiciary Cmte. advances the nomination of Judge Barrett to serve as a Supreme Court justice 12-0, as Democrats boycott the vote. I’m neither for nor against this. The people chose who to vote, and the senators were majority Republican. So, technically the people chose. Also, RBG was against court packing. I can almost see her words not mattering to them if the Dems win. Both parties will do what they do. Didn't follow Committee Rules, Didn't formally change Rules, Making any further appointment Invalid under the eyes of Procedure. Making removal easier. I will never ever ever again vote Republican because of this charade not only blocking a bomb ass pic for a supreme court justice but this pushing through this non-judge judge of only three years Amy Coney Barrett

Amy Coney Barrett: Full Senate to vote on Trump's Supreme Court nominee on MondayThe full Senate plans to vote on Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court on Monday, likely allowing Barrett to take her place as the ninth justice just days before Election Day. If Biden wins in the house and the Senate are in the power of the Democrats, should they repeal the decision? Do they have that power according to the Constitution? Borderline criminal. The GOP would have voters believe they are trustworthy public servants and yet they perform this stunt just four years after blocking Obama from appointing Garland in an election year. It is all about power for the GOP. All their principles are gone.
