The party animals always find each other.Anyway, it's an interesting peek inside. It's funny how Gaetz, Massie, Ro Khanna and Katie Hill are pretty good buds. There's a really good happy hour scene with Hill and Gaetz (after she resigned) where they are just hanging and she's like 'cmon Matt, your Trump love is an act. I love you but I don't understand.... I could never...)
She set up that stoopid fvcking email server. Because she couldn't be bothered to follow the protocols. And she was too stoopid to know how to print documents sent to her, so she sent them to Huma, who used pervy Tony's laptop to print them out.just stupid what did she do

Don't get me wrong, I voted for her and think she would have made a fine President, but she lost and it's all on her. She was an awful candidate.
John Paul Stevens was confirmed in 19 days.No chance there is time to confirm a nominee prior to the election. The lame duck session is of course a different question. If Trump loses, it's going to be quite a circus show during the lame duck

It was fine in 2016 when the shoe was on the other foot.
Trump, Barr, and McConnell. I don't know that the republic will survive the triumvirate intact.We all already knew McConnell was an unprincipled POS. The “R” after his name was the main indicator.
I told everyone I could how bad this was going to be. But I really thought there would be more Republicans of integrity that would step in. This is a very dangerous time in our country.Trump, Barr, and McConnell. I don't know that the republic will survive the triumvirate intact.
Maybe time for a constitutional amendment specifying a timeframe to replace a judge on the SC? I’m not a constitutional expert by a long shot but thoughts??

Yes, especially walking through downtowns of virtually every US city.I told everyone I could how bad this was going to be. But I really thought there would be more Republicans of integrity that would step in. This is a very dangerous time in our country.
Yes, especially walking through downtowns of virtually every US city.
Yes the headline of our Sunday paper is Homicide City. Our democrat mayors and prosecutors have done a smashing job over the last 50 years. From a great city of 900,000 down to 300,000 and headlines line above.Yes, especially walking through downtowns of virtually every US city.
If Mitch McConnell does jam this through I could see an 11-member Supreme Court in 2021
I wouldn't count on integrity, but political survival might force a few to do the right thing whether they want to or not.I told everyone I could how bad this was going to be.

Maybe Trump should stop throwing gasoline on the fire? Just a thought.Yes, especially walking through downtowns of virtually every US city.
McConnell broke the system beyond repair in 2016. The best that can be hoped for is that the result of his malfeasance can be rectified.Trouble is, in 50 years there might be 41 members.
I thought McTurtle's stance in 2016 was a bad idea. I still think waiting on the confirmation hearings is still a bad idea.
Maybe Trump should stop throwing gasoline on the fire? Just a thought.
Or stop electing democrat mayors. Just a thought. Having your Sunday paper declare your city Homicide City after 50 years of Dems running it is aggravating. 900,000 to 300,000 pop in that time. Ridiculous.Maybe Trump should stop throwing gasoline on the fire? Just a thought.
Maybe the animals and thugs should stop going around downtowns, burning shit down, stealing what is not theirs, and killing people. Just a thought.Maybe Trump should stop throwing gasoline on the fire? Just a thought.
All Dems good, all Pubs bad. Dear gawd....We all already knew McConnell was an unprincipled POS. The “R” after his name was the main indicator.
Um, no, actually to “repair” it, all that has to happen is that the people in power choose to do the right thing, but many of you are going to use the cop out that “they have no choice” & can’t possibly do what’s right because of the deplorable actions of deplorable people. Same shit, different labels. Libs are always throwing rocks at cons but are no better...McConnell broke the system beyond repair in 2016. The best that can be hoped for is that the result of his malfeasance can be rectified.
That would be waiting until after the election, and if Biden wins then not confirming a Trump nominee. I don't think anyone is seriously advocating for reconstituting the Court in that circumstance. But if McConnell and Trump ram a new Justice through notwithstanding a Biden win, then all bets are off.Um, no, actually to “repair” it, all that has to happen is that the people in power choose to do the right thing,

That sounds good, but the reality is that the "philosophy" of today's Republican Party is "whatever Trump wants". That's their freaking party platform, for cryin' out loud.Let’s face it. All politicians suck. So I’m conservative. A lot here are liberal. Can’t we agree that all these people in power are pieces of shit? I vote a certain way because I like the philosophy of the party. But I think the people I vote for are generally hypocritical pieces of shit.
There it is...That would be waiting until after the election, and if Biden wins then not confirming a Trump nominee.

Posts like this are why most here consider you a douchebag. What does this have to do with the discussion at hand? Absolutely nothing. Care to weigh in on how the Senate should handle a Trump SC nomination?The integrity shortage resides in the mayor and governor offices of most blue cities and states. They are even throwing black cops and police chiefs under the bus; for what purpose? Their purpose certainly isn’t to protect the rights and property of most residents and business owners. They favor “protesters” instead.
Even liberal Democrats have had it with this Democratic B.S.
FifyThat would be waiting until after the election, and if Biden wins then not confirming a Trump nominee. I don't think anyone is seriously advocating for reconstituting the Court in that circumstance. But if McConnell and Trump ram a new Justice through notwithstanding a Biden win, then all bets are off. We’re only willing to do what’s right if it favors us...

You don’t know shit about walking through US cities.Yes, especially walking through downtowns of virtually every US city.
You're a freaking riot. No matter that it was wrong, McConnell's extra-constitutional gambit proved profitable for the Republicans, but now they should do the right thing... and profit again?McConnell was wrong on Garland. Deliberately delaying a new SCOTUS nominee is also wrong and weakens our system of governance. Such a delay is nothing but a rejection of the prior election hoping that the next one will be more acceptable. That’s nuts. Murkowski and anybody else who uses the next election as an excuse for urging the Senate to go into hiding needs to resign.
Are there not a lot of factors? White flight leaving behind economic wastelands plays no role?Or stop electing democrat mayors. Just a thought. Having your Sunday paper declare your city Homicide City after 50 years of Dems running it is aggravating. 900,000 to 300,000 pop in that time. Ridiculous.

Many of these blighted cities have had dem mayors for half a century straight. DeBlasio just got called out this past week in a penned letter by business leaders to do something about crime. I think there’s truth that Dems are too soft on crime as mayors and prosecutors. I agree with the mental health issues you cite but soft on crime is an issue. For offenders the recidivism rate is through the roof. Anecdotally I wonder if things would be better with more republicans running local government and more Dems running national.Are there not a lot of factors? White flight leaving behind economic wastelands plays no role?
Then we closed all the institutions which Heritage says causes crime to increase (https://www.heritage.org/firearms/commentary/how-mass-deinstitutionalization-harmed-the-mentally-ill):
Several studies have found that having fewer psychiatric beds is associated with higher crime rates, including for violent crimes such as murder and assault. There are also strong indications that the dramatic rise in violent crime during the 1980s and 1990s was, in large part, an effect of deinstitutionalization and the massive influx of individuals with untreated mental illness back into their communities.
Meanwhile, the equally sudden decline of crime rates in the 1990s and 2000s can be explained in large part by the “reinstitutionalization” of these
