MeetThePress They don’t care! They are on a mission to destroy our Democracy & Trumps base is too stupid to see all they will lose for what? “economy”. Without a stimulus bill at some point there will be NO economy. And denial of trumpvid-19 may lead to no Republicans! “Spread the Denial”

Bricchetti1 I guess they can all go in their course they have to be present to vote and give each other the virus and possibly die getting this judge through, oh well
MeetThePress Bullshit
They have had people join in via video for months, now they are not capable?
MeetThePress If they think this changes anything, they still don’t understand how important republicans view this appointment.
Democrats keep humiliating themselves.....I can hear the GOP laughing from here
Boycott the fucking hearings and stop acting like boneless chickens ffs
Yes we need to wait until the next election who becomes the President will get to put the next Supreme Court Judge. The Americans want to wait until the election is over
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nope.
Amy Coney Barrett brought her 7 unmasked kids to a super spreader event to show how pro life she is so she could be confirmed by a group of pro life people who have presided over 200K+ deaths to be a pro life judge that will uphold the death penalty and take away health insurance
Nope. Enjoy your new justice lol
Armenia is being attacked by Turkey. The world needs to know the truth of what Erdogan is perpetrating under the cloak of a global pandemic & the US presidential election. Please, start covering this story that could lead to the potential of World War III. StopTurkeyAggression
Senate Dems can’t fuck around. No compromise. Stop Coney Barrett nomination process
They can all just wear a mask. They work right
So say we all
Just politics.
MeetThePress One word: ZOOM
MeetThePress Lol. This is funny. They think he cares.
MeetThePress DefundTheSenate
MeetThePress As Rt Hon Boris Johnson in St Thomas Hospital London, President Donald Trump is in critical 2 days in Washington Military Hospital. In good faith, Donald trump took Hydrochloroquin medicine and believed he can avoid Coronavirus. Let us pray for his speedy recovery. Save him God!
MeetThePress Right...asking Santa not to deliver on Christmas would be a better bet
MeetThePress Have they ever heard of Zoom? $ZM
MeetThePress Okay, then just hold the vote and get on with it.
MeetThePress Good grief, this is 2020...just do it safely, it’s not rocket science.
MeetThePress Confirmation hearing can easily be done through video conferencing and so there shall be no threat to health of members, so simple.
...yo...do like the rest of America and zoom. factsnotfeelings
MeetThePress Since the Senate already held hearings and questioned ACB in 2017, Sen. Graham should abide by their wishes to cancel the hearings. Then McConnell should schedule the confirmation vote to FillTheSeatNOW.
Oh God this was all the dirty little plan all along. The Democrats will stop at nothing to try and defeat or in this case try to assassinate our President!
no. they should demand all republicans within the judiciary to pay a visit to trump’s hospital bed this weekend. 1 hour lunch to keep trump happy
Those who are uncomfortable can step down from the committee
sure.... thats why they want it stopped.... I find it a bit of pathetic politicising and I personally dont want the confirmation hearings to go ahead either.
Zoom! Do it all “virtually”...good enough for everyone else.
Lol
You all say Obama wanted the wall first.Obama put kids in cages first.Obama deported illegals first.Obama wanted universal healthcare care first.Obama bailout was first!Obama’s stimulus was first,so everything trump does is the same thing Obama did!So basically you support Obama
Another bull !=:& left agenda. NO! Move on.

Armenia is being attacked by Turkey. The world needs to know the truth of what Erdogan is perpetrating under the cloak of a global pandemic & the US presidential election. Please, start covering this story that could lead to the potential of World War III. StopTurkeyAggression
I don't think so lol, even Pelosi's covid Arrow's can't stop this.
Republicans don't care about rhe health & safety of others. They knew they had Covid, kept it secret & still attended large gatherings, putting others at risk.
Have they called off getting groceries or going out to eat as well or only the things that fit their political agenda? Do your damn jobs.
We have Zoom National Enquirer. You know next time you have SpeakerPelosi on, you can ask her how that works. Next story please Globe.
Ever heard of zoom?
I wonder how Trump feels to be a poor brown person
Karma train coming through! CHOO CHOO
Duh of course they say that and I don’t believe for a minute there sincere. There playing politics and wanting to block it. Use the pandemic to their benefit 🙄
The same one who voted for a fake impeachment......get on with the people business and stop the baffonory
Can’t they just mail in their vote
FillTheSeatNOW!
📢Noooo!
How could they possibly think he would agree?
If there is enough evidence to delay the people's work then they should delay the election too.
BS
Sorry but work virtually like I have been for months. It sucks but it’s coming up on a year of being home. They can deal
BS but wholly expected. Has nothing to do with Covid.
