I’ll enjoy it when Trump gets his third pick.

Lindsay Graham said it perfectly: “You’re legitimizing the most despicable thing I have seen in my time in politics. You want power, I hope to God you never get it.”

[arrogantsob]

Reminds me of the last years of the Roman Republic.

It is just plain nuts to believe more than. 20-25% of the public gives a flying hoot about Judicial appointments.

They may listen to the news about it but no way will I believe it changes any votes.Americans political memory retention is slightly less than about 30 minutes.

>>I’ll enjoy it when Trump gets his third pick.<<

It will probably be Amy Barrett.

#welietoo won’t work on her — you have to wonder what ecil the left is cooking up.

I also think the GOP needs to start oppo research on every democrat going back to elementary school — and I am *not* joking. The left gas made it clear NOTHING is off limits and youth is to be held against adults. We saw how they moved the goalposts from sexual assault to having a few beers at parties in college.

Are Republicans ready for the fights ahead?

I think this episode did a whole lot to steel Republican resolve. The Democrats made clear that they are fully willing to go scorched earth if it looks like they won't get their power back anytime soon. I think that was an eye-opener for go-along-get-along types like McConnell and Graham. I think they finally saw the light that closing ranks in defensive formation is far more important than continuing to pout over the fact that Trump beat Jeb.

[RooRoobird20]

I’m ready!!!!

To @sshole Eric Holder:

(1) When you go low, you go lower and lower and lower. There is no limit to your trashy ghetto lowness, you are the lowest of the filthy low.

(2) Go ahead and try to kick us. We have most of the 300 million plus guns and 8 trillion bullets. And we have LOTS of concealed carry permits. Bwah hah hah hah!!!

[Forward the Light Brigade]

If I was a Democrat/Socialist/Marxist what would I do?
A) cause a crisis! and blame it on the Republicans or Trump
B) More women to come forth with “proof” Kav was a raper.
c) More demonstrations in all American Cities.
D) try to use troops loyal to the Dems to capture, by force, the Capital Building and White House to arrest Republicans and Trump/Pence as traitors to the Democracy. “Restore” the nation under President Hillary (with the support of CNN, and the NYTimes)
E) make all Trump laws and Treaties null and void. Close all steel mills and coal mines!

[wastoute]

I’m starting to understand Trump. Don’t be goaded into fighting again a battle you have won. Just kick their ass that much harder in the next battle.

[wastoute]

That step from c to D is a big one. I don’t think they can be goaded into making it.

[atc23]

We can win some battles and a third successful appointment for POTUS and we can get 25 years before this country, as we’ve know it all our lives, will be overrun by the Ostazio Cortez reptilians. I’m 60 now. Works out pretty well - I’ll be getting ready for the dirt nap by then

[billorites]

"going to be on the Supreme Court with a huge taint and a big a**terisk"

I suppose you're more likely to possess a huge taint is you already have a big a**terisk.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Same age as you. No kids. Nothing to worry about really in terms of direct descendants and the world they'll live in. Still, I'm not as pessimistic as you are.

[IrishBrigade]

Brett Kavanaugh and his team did this very well, defining him as a heartfelt supporter of women throughout his life, in a way that made (especially) conservative-leaning women sympathetic to his cause.

oh goody, does that mean we we’ll get to watch a stream of white men weeping and sniffling as they give accounts of themselves...?

[raisetheroof]

The Kavanaugh appointment will carry with it a weighty asterisk for as long as he serves.

Weighty? The only people who'd put it there are on the left, and it means nothing. No matter how many asterisks they attach to his name, his vote counts just as much as that of anyone else on the court.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

You got it - it's common sense. Why continue to focus resources on a task that has been addressed, that's only playing their game, trying to get & keep him bogged down on a single issue they can concentrate opposition on. Trump has a very large to-do list, loaded with issues that are sacred cows to them. All he has to do is move on to another task on the "list", they have to shift their resources of opposition and a new battle starts. But he's energetic and fast moving, hard to pin him down and keep him that way. He's beating down their resistance by attrition. Wash, rinse, repeat....

 

 

[Hardastarboard]

Calling Eric Holder an @$$hole is an insult to a very useful and important part of my body. I would argue that my @$$hole is more valuable and aesthetically pleasing than Eric Holder. And maybe even slightly smarter.

[wastoute]

Every day on his Callender. Winning!
