I really like Tucker Carlson. They need to put his show on at 9pm though. Throw Megyns show off and I might start watching Fox again. Hannity is the only show I really watch on there, and even then its only here and there, I mainly listen to Hannitys radio show.
So, that is why my turkey was goose stepping before I cooked it.CNN reporting Putin has hacked Thanksgiving.
Great read . Thanks .Excellent, excellent article about how Trump's son in law Jared Kushner spearheaded and unconventional digital approach to the campaign, and beat silicon valley at their own digital game. And did it with half the funds.
Long read. But definitely worth it.
Okay Political Thread, let's talk some politics for real.
Supreme Court - My view is that Obama was absolutely sure that Hillary would win, and therefore didn't push the issue more. The guy he nominated was liberal, but more centrist than he and the dems would have preferred. So they were banking for the love child of Kagan and Sotomayor to be nominated by Hillary and that would be that.
Talk about your all-time backfires. So what do you do now? Shouldn't Obama nominate a true centrist immediately and fight tooth and nail to get a vote in the Senate? Yeah, you wouldn't be getting what you wanted, but it unquestionably would block a conservative. For the record - I'm so glad the Dems made this monumental mistake. But I also believe that they had a point when they said the senate should hold hearings on Obama's nominee. It's just how things should work. Thoughts?
Or at least PTSD.Tucker Carlson has gained a newfound respect from me. He has been ripping these 20 yr olds apart. Surprised there hasn't been any suicides blamed on Tucker Carlson

They absolutely had a point. He shouldve just been voted down. No vote at all is embarrassing and ridiculous. He wasn't even a bad choice to begin with. Mitch was bailed out by an unlikely Trump victory. Otherwise it would be a nightmare nomination by hillary.
That said, it's too late now. Obama can do nothing. Whoever he puts up should be voted down immediately.
Pretty sure it's standard procedure for lame duck president to not pick Supreme Court. Obummer shouldn't have even nominated anyone. That said, seen a lot of polls where Supreme Court was voters main reason for picking trump. McConnell may have put trump over the edge in some tight states.
I agree that they should have went ahead and had hearings and voted. 100%Yes but they should've just voted him down. Their job is to confirm or not. Not to just do nothing.
Would've had the same effect, while following correct procedure, and not setting a dangerous precedent.

But I am not sure there are not precedents for what they did.
I know V.P. Biden came out later and said his words were taken out of context. I just realized I really suck at understanding that "context" to a politician basically is driven by the wind.

Yet refuse to demand anything of hillary or Obama while they're both tied to the grouls responsible for the violent protesting.

The precedent would be for obama not to nominate. The ONLY reason he did so was so he could say "see look even if I nominate a middle guy these republicans block everything just like they have done for 8 years"
CNN aired Tranny porn for 30 minutes? Lmaooo
What would Harry Reid had done if the situation were reversed? Oh Nevermind.So what's the cutoff for being able to pick a SC justice? 1 year remaining? 2 years?
6 months to 1 year would be more accurate.So what's the cutoff for being able to pick a SC justice? 1 year remaining? 2 years?
Wolf BlitzerWhich anchor was it, Frederica or Michaela???
Wonder how much money Jill Stien was offered from Soros or Hillary for this recount horse shit.
It doesn't matter if they voted him down or didn't vote at all. The end result would have been the same.
Oh, and by the way, let's not forget what their "job" actually is. Represent the people of their respective states. I believe it was made apparent that the vast majority of states did not want O'bama to choose the next SCOTUS judge. The people have spoken.
