That boy dumb. Even goes out of his way to prove it by making it clear that he's not joking.
Haven't visited this thread since November 2016. It is as amusing as ever here. The SCOTUS earthquake is overwhelming the primary election news of today. But I thought I'd send along one postcard from "Progressive America."
I live in Montgomery County, Maryland. Last night in my county convicted traitor and transgender schizophrenic Chelsea Manning got 6,453 votes for the US Senate. The top TWO GOP candidates, well-established career politicians and successful businessmen, combined for 5,338 votes.
So, remind me, which voting bloc in America is threatening our basic values?

I don’t know what one has to do with the other, but denying that Republicans stole the seat is like denying that’s bubba was a womanizer. It throws all common sense out the window.
Not a republican, but absolutely. And thank god he did.
After this muh Russia bullshit and all of the illegal and unethical conduct from the DOJ and FBI to overthrow the duly elected POTUS, the Ds can shove it up their ass if they say they're concerned with playing by the rules.
To state the obvious the Biden rule is during a presidential election year. Obama and the Dems had no problem nominating and confirming a Supreme Court judge during a mid term year in '10.
Democrats can't make up rules, have the Republicans play by them, then cry "stolen seat" when it comes back to hurt them. Stop being sore losers.
Did Biden steal a seat in 1992?
Edit it was 93. So no. False
Ruthie should not be on court either.
This is still true
Intellectual honesty comes with a price.
True
I will gladly remove 25 years of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and give up Gorsuch.
True

No, the republicans used a legal procedure that was first used by dingy Harry Reid. So....
I'm actually a big believer in abortion. I'm not religious at all, so I think it's good for the country. We certainly aren't going to get any entitlement reform, so I'd prefer people just abort the kids they don't want. I've laid out my plan many times to give people lump sum cash payments in exchange for sterilizations.
I'm much more concerned with getting a SCOTUS Justice who actually gives a shit about privacy. Scary that the cell phone location data case was a 5-4 decision and we had to rely on the liberals for that.

Republicans didn't steal a seat. They played by the Democrats' rules and beat them at their own game.
Bubba is a womanizer.
Easy peasy.

if you’re talking about the “Biden Rule”, then no. He absolutely didnt. There wasn’t a vacancy when he gave that speech. He said that if a vacancy were to happen (and it didn’t) that Bush shouldn’t nominate someone until after the election.
I also can’t stand Biden, and would not defend him under any circumstances, but the truth is the truth.

Just because YOU say it’s the truth, doesn’t make it so. But keep telling it to yourself if it makes you feel better. Lol
Would the Democrats abide by the Biden Rule if the shoe were on the other foot? Hell no they wouldn’t. Screw em!!!
They Obama'd it.
WASHINGTON — President Obama has come to regret his decade-old filibuster of Justice Samuel Alito, the White House said Wednesday as Senate Republicans threatened to block his nominee to replace Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court.
The Alito nomination has become one of many historical footnotes that have taken on new relevance as Obama and the Republican-controlled Senate jockey for high ground in their battle over the election-year Supreme Court nomination. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest called Obama's decision to join in the filibuster of Alito in 2006 a "symbolic vote" based on specific objections to Alito's rulings as a lower court judge.

Who says I need to feel better? I’m not a liberal. But I’m also not a hypocrite.
Obama had already named two very liberal justices, after opposing and even filibustering Alito and Roberts as a Senator. They had watched Kagan refuse to recuse herself on ACA even though she worked on it. Voters had flipped both houses from blue to red. The GOP did not view Garland as a viable candidate.
This is WRONG.
Sorry.
Retirement was in 93.
Not a Supreme Court historian.
Dems did everything in their power to keep him out just as the Reps did on Garland. Reps actually treated Obama's two justices MUCH better than he and his fellow Dems treated Bush Nominees. There is a history of that (Bork). The GOP finally bucked up.
How is it hypocritical?
Mitch was playing by the Democrats' rules. You can't make up rules, then pretend it never happened when they work against you.
Not to mention, those rules do not apply here because it's not a presidential election year.
As noted above, Obama and the Democrats had no problem nominating and confirming Kagan during a mid-term election year ('10).

No doubt in my mind Trump and Mitch has known about Kennedy retiring for a good while and already have their pick lined up. Some have said Trey Gowdy may be it and was the reason he did not seek re-election, but my guess is they have their eyes on a bigger prize. Laugh my ass off if it was Ted Cruz.
The Biden rule. Just because there wasn't an opening for them to push for it, doesn't mean that wasn't their plan if the opportunity presented itself.
Honestly even if the GOP did steal Garlands seat (they didn't though) I couldn't care less if I sat around and did nothing but try to care less.
The libs and dems should be mad at Harry Reid for that.

Ted Cruz would make libs literally commit suicide. He would tie a liberal arguing before him knots. I might even feel sorry for them because he would make them look like a fool. I take that back, it would be fun to watch.
These people are absolutely insane.
Attn: Crybaby liberals who are flooding the streets with their tears
Chuckie gets his kicks out of pi$$ing into the wind. It's all he's got.
