When Kick had destroyed all of your bullshat arguments after wiping the floor with your hyperbolic lies that you couldn’t keep straight; you were cornered with no way out…so you chose personal attacks rather than just admitting defeat — a move that tells the world that you lost and it was ugly how bad you lost!

Russ is correct, of course, and what better way to tell the entire world how butthurt you were and still are by the constant whining like a sniveling toddler and bringing it up over and over again ad nauseam? Rhetorical question. White male grievance coupled with obvious ignorance is a terrible affliction; the catalyst that creates a poor dumb rube who is obviously too stupid to know how ignorant he sounds and demonstrably not intelligent enough to cease and desist in just making shit up.

Exactly, Russ. You are going to confuse the rube with the facts. Donald Trump could admit he took active measures to overturn the election, and the rubes living in their own fantasies over on Earth 2 will still deny it.

And it is the reason to start One Demand- not a reason to put it off to sometime in the future.

You seem blissfully unaware that your bullshit was already started years ago.

It is foolish to think that repeating the same behavior of voting for big money candidates that has not worked for decades and put us where we are now is somehow magically going to yield positive results in 2022, 2024, 2026 or any time in the foreseeable future as it has NEVER worked.

Is it not equally foolish that "repeating the same behavior" on this blog over and over wherein you prattle on and on about your asinine bullshit isn't "somehow magically going to yield positive results in 2022, 2024, 2026 or any time in the foreseeable future as it has NEVER worked"? Your constant blathering on this blog has produced nothing, and I would wager vast sums of money that it NEVER will.

So the MOST immediate approach to achieving solutions to our immediate problems is starting One Demand now...

I reiterate that you seem happily incognizant that your so-called "solution" started years and years ago. Same failed shit that has NEVER worked, different day. :)

No, no you cannot! Because of Citizen’s United and other campaign finance laws, PAC’s can take unlimited amounts of money and they never have to make public who gave it. You do know that a PAC can support a candidate without the candidate’s approval, right? How are you going to know if a PAC received a single donation of $3 million from a corporation or if they received 3 million donations totaling $1 each? Oh yeah, you won’t be able to do so. That’s why I said your solution was merely cosmetic. Donations directly to political campaigns are not where the corruption resides. You focus on the hangnail while the cancer consumes.

Yes.

That's 100% pure projection.

No, that's almost the entirety of your arguments.

Decades of legislation that primarily benefits the big money interests with a few crumbs for ordinary citizens put in to treat the symptoms rather than the cause of problems is evidence that big money corrupts our political process.

That's a lot of legislation. One would think with all that source material you could come up with examples of specific legislation benefiting big money and the crumbs for ordinary citizens. If you can't prove your assertion or at least come up with a good argument backed up by evidence you merely have a conspiracy theory, and those are a dime a dozen these days...

Yes we can prevent politicians from agreeing to accept only contributions from small donors while having PACs that raise millions on their behalf- we don't vote for them.

But for that to work you have to come up with candidates. Something you have been unable to do closing in on a decade. You got some lip service from Nader and have you converted that to anything? Why would you think CW writing about you would be any different considering Nader has a much higher profile?

Then there is the Sinema problem. They ride your movement in to office, then rake in the cash...

We’ve had , collectively, TWENTY SEVEN YEARS of Republican backed Right-Wing Militia acts of terrorism in this country! From the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995 to the failed insurrection attempt at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Republican domestic terrorists have been responsible for 173 Americans’ deaths.
.

So it is clear that you did not have a problem with a Republican wanting to nominate a woman nor is having the best qualified people being put on the bench. So your protests stem from the fact that you just cannot handle the thought of someone Black being a judge.

Pelosi called the DOD asking why the National Guard wasn’t providing assistance and was told that Trump had not been in contact with the DOD. So what prevented then-President Trump from activating the National Guard? Surely not Pelosi, who has absolutely no power to authorize the military. Geez, I never realized how much you truly fear “the Power of Pelosi”! According to you, it sounds like Trump allowed Pelosi to emasculate him as President by letting her overrule his authority!

That’s simple. Only in your mind are your arguments successful and reasonable! You are fighting the wrong fight. You believe that only accepting campaign donations of a limited size can somehow guarantee quality candidates and anyone accepting larger donations are guaranteed to be corrupt. Yet you still cannot prevent any candidate who agrees to only accept small dollar campaign donations from having PAC’s accepting millions on their behalf, can you? Yours is a cosmetic solution at most… and it doesn’t even do that well.

My cite...

Biden's affirmation of his campaign-season promise to nominate such a specific population subgroup is a dagger to the telos—the overarching orientation of true color-blind equality and justice—of the United States. Even holding aside the lunacy, from a sheer sample size perspective, of announcing at the outset of a Supreme Court justice search that one intends to limit that search to roughly 2 percent of the national lawyer pool, the higher-level message Democrats telegraph by doubling down on such an identity politics obsession is extraordinarily pernicious.

See ya.. :D

A sad yet fond farewell to Dr Johnny Fever...

"BOOGER!!"

RIP Howard Hesseman

The what!? Never heard of that before.

So, you just pulled that two percent figure out of your head?

The qualified SCOTUS Justice pool..

By ONLY considering a black woman, Biden is limiting himself to just 2% of the qualified SOCTUS Justice pool..

Now, pray tell.. Explain to me the logic of that..

It is a statistical impossibility that, by limiting himself to simply 2% of the available pool, Biden can select the best nominee possible..

2% of the available pool of what?

I don't get it, Elizabeth, why are you wasting everyone's time feeding the trolls?

You've been around here a lot longer than I so why the hell haven't you figured this out?

Why don't you shut the frak up with your whining and your "ignoring"???

Look, we get it.. You can't compete... You can't keep up with real actual discussions..

We allow you to play your little "ignore" games and allow you to whine and cry...

Sure, we make fun of you about it.. We laugh at you and poke at you.. :D

I am here.. I am going to comment.. My comments will illicit other intelligent comments from other commenters...

This is the fact of Weigantia™... Deal with it...

But for christ's sake.. Quit WHINING about it.. :eyeroll:

Your time is your own. Which you are free to waste here or elsewhere. It's all up to you.

The nomination process IS flawed if it's a race/gender based process...

I fully intend to watch the hearing regardless...

But we don't have to wait for the hearings to have an intelligent discussion regarding the flawed nomination process.. We can do that right now..

Let's just cut to the chase and flat out ask the question..

In the society that Dr Martin Luther King envisioned, the society that Dr King fought and died for....

Is a race based nomination process a proper, ethical, moral and LEGAL process??

NO... It is not..

Change my mind...

What "good" could come from a selection based on race???

Did the Democrat Party say 150 years ago, "Yunno.. There might be some GOOD to come from forcing black people into slavery and have them pick our cotton..."

Well, they probably DID say that, but was it factually accurate??

Fast forward to today..

What "good" could possibly come from a race based nomination process??

I don't get it, Elizabeth, why are you wasting everyone's time feeding the trolls?

You've been around here a lot longer than I so why the hell haven't you figured this out?

I hope you are not trying to set up the situation where you can say that the nomination process is flawed and therefore you will not watch the hearing or engage in an intelligent discussion about it.

If that is what you intend to do, then I would find that to be a completely bogus claim and an attempt to avoid engaging in an intelligent discussion about the nomination hearing.

My comments have been dead on ballz accurate in every way possible..

Not true. Indeed, further from the truth you could not possible be in making such a statement.

While many of your comments contain at least a grain of truth or some factual basis - which is why some of us here still wish to engage with you - your comments here are too often based upon ridiculous premises that have no basis in reality, let alone fact or accuracy.

As for watching the hearing, I work full-time, too. C-span will carry the hearing live, gavel to gavel, so you can binge watch or watch a little at a time, whichever and whenever it is most convenient for you.

I will let you know when I have watched the entire hearing and then, hopefully, we can have an intelligent discussion.

Is there???

I have every intention of watching the hearings.. By doctor's orders, I am out of work until 17 Feb..

Barring any complications, I will be at work soon thereafter..

If the hearings go past 17 Feb I will watch the hearings as much as my work schedule will allow...

You have my promise on that...

It would also be extremely advisable on your part to refrain from commenting on the supposed nominee until after the nominee is announced, at a minimum and, ideally, until after you have watched the nomination hearing in full.

The nominee process is fatally flawed.. By choosing this process, Biden has inevitably tainted the nominee selected by the flawed process..

It is a statistical impossibility that, by limiting himself to simply 2% of the available pool, Biden can select the best nominee possible..

Biden will be extremely lucky to get even a good nominee...

The percentages are completely against it..

If the nomination process is tainted, the nominee is tainted..

Garbage In, Garbage Out..

There is simply no logical, rational, ethical, moral or legal justification that permits using a race/gender based nomination process...

No... Justification... Period...

That last bit was necessary only because your comments thus far on the subject of Biden's as yet unannounced nominee have been - how shall I put this in a nice way - less than valuable contributions to this blog.

We each measure value differently..

My comments have been dead on ballz accurate in every way possible..

Can I get a promise from you that you will watch - in it's entirety - the nomination hearing for the next person nominated to be a Supreme Court justice?

I won't discuss any of this (with you) until I get that promise from you and/or I watch the entire nomination hearing myself.

It would also be extremely advisable on your part to refrain from commenting on the supposed nominee until after the nominee is announced, at a minimum and, ideally, until after you have watched the nomination hearing in full.

That last bit was necessary only because your comments thus far on the subject of Biden's as yet unannounced nominee have been - how shall I put this in a nice way - less than valuable contributions to this blog.

DING!! DING!!! DING!!!! WE HAVE A WEINER!!!! TELL 'IM WHAT HE'S WON, JOHNNY!!!!!

:D

The list of candidates is short; there will be dutiful speculation about which female jurist the president will elevate, but it will not quell anxieties over more pressing issues, like rents spiking 20% or more in some markets and gasoline prices rising by almost half.

The hits just keep on coming.. It's very telling that the Democrats are trying to generate so much excitement, extolling excitedly about a SCOTUS Nomination... The Democrats are so desperate they are trying to energize their base about something that, in the best case scenario, will simply continue the status quo...

Even THAT attempt is being over-shadowed by the condemnation EVEN FROM DEMOCRATS about making the nominee nothing but an Affirmative Action token hire...

Over three quarters of the American people are condemning Biden for his blatantly racist/sexist plan to ONLY consider a black woman for the nomination.. Such a plan is blatant pandering and will only allow Biden to consider 2% of qualified jurists...

Yea, nothing says Getting The Best SCOTUS Possible like limiting to just 2% of the pool.. :eyeroll:

How can Democrats be so utterly incompetent???

Biden even tried retracing a popular gambit from the campaign trail, making an unscheduled visit to an ice cream store recently; he was no doubt disappointed that sampling frozen treats in mid-winter failed to excite the press corps.
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/bidens-presidency-reset-dud-already-liz-peek

Ya really have to feel sorry for Biden..

It's why I stopped calling him Basement Biden.. It just seemed so unfair to kick a man while he's down and continues to fall..

It's like all of the Democrats' hate, bigotry and anti-America policies and agendas are coming home to roost all at once..

The real question has become... How low can Biden and the Democrats sink???

This is a VERY important selection to be made.. A LIFE TIME appointment to the US Supreme Court??

This is something way WAY too important to have governed by blatant political pandering and limiting the choice to just TWO PERCENT of the available selection pool.. And to base this limitation SOLELY on race/gender??

I would REALLY like to see if anyone here can make a rational case to justify this...

It will be completely understandable if this challenge is met with silence...

I mean, it's plainly obvious that this sort of racist/sexist pandering is COMPLETELY and UNEQUIVOCALLY unjustifiable..

So, it won't be surprising if no one here can justify it..

But, hay.. I figured I would give it a shot.. :D

Much of that erosion has come in just the last few months. A Pew Research survey released this week finds that Biden has bled seven percentage points of support among Black adults since September. Over that same period, the president lost just four points of support from whites, and virtually none from Asian or Hispanic voters.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/why-joe-biden-is-bleeding-black-support/ar-AATfvo5

Black Americans are coming to realize what a bum steer they have with the Democrat Party...

They are realizing that the Democrat Party is still the racist Party..

Black Americans are beginning to realize that the physical slavery plantation has been replaced with the socio-economic slavery plantation..

And the plunge in support is the result of black Americans' realizations..

Poll: Most Americans want Biden to consider 'all nominees' in Supreme Court pick

The poll comes after Biden said Thursday that he will announce his nominee before the end of February, and that the candidate will be a Black woman. Among Democrats, 54% supported considering all nominees regardless of race and gender. Just 23% of those polled wanted Biden to restrict his list of nominees to Black women.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/poll-huge-majority-americans-biden-consider-all-nominees-supreme-court-pick

Get that???

From the Democrat Party's OWN Propaganda Wing...

OVER 3/4ths of Americans want Biden to select from the FULL poll of qualified jurists, NOT just 2% of the available pool...

Even a MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS wants Biden's nominee to be free of racist or sexist considerations..

Once again, Biden is proving he is simply not on the same page as the vast majority of Americans..

As usual, you completely miss the point.. It sails right over your head...

The problem that you people claimed ya'all had was with the USE OF THE WORD... But, as I pointed out at the time, ya'all only had a problem with the PERSON using the word.. Namely someone who is of a different political persuasion than ya'all..

And, your response proves my point then is factually accurate..

You PROVE you don't have as problem with the use of the word, because you are throwing it around so glibly right now..

Your only problem is when people who are not politically acceptable use the word..

Thank you for proving me factually accurate once again....

Not factually accurate..

First off, Vick never proved anything beyond her own stoopidity and ignorance.. Something that occurs constantly as evidenced by the fact that I have chased her away again..

Mitigating the impacts of climate change requires both a scientific AND political discussion.

And therein lies the problem, Liz

Humans have NO CONTROL over climate change.. This is fact..

So ANY discussion, science based or politics based, in violation of that simple fact is a nothing but a waste of time.

NOW... If you want to discuss mitigating the impacts of Mother Nature, THEN we can have a discussion... If you want to talk about Storm Reaction and mitigating wind damage and plan for evacuations and such, those are all worthy discussions...

It's like discussing mitigating the impact of the planet's orbit..

There is NOTHING we can do about the planet's orbit, so talking about making changes to change the planet's orbit is fruitless, useless and simply a waste of time..

There simply is NO POLITICAL SOLUTION to climate change because there is no scientific solution to prevent climate change..

They climate WILL change.. The climate has ALWAYS changed.. The climate will continue to change until humans are populating the stars or go the way of the dodo..

There is NOTHING we can do about it..

All we CAN do is evolve, go with the flow and learn to survive it..

It's really that simple...

Sorry, Elizabeth, but there's too much troll pollution down here for me to wanna participate in Sunday Night Dance party.

Sucks for all of us to require endless scrolling but, hey, you got what you wanted, eh?

She was merely stating that she believes Sinema is a cunt. She doesn’t claim to know this for a fact, but she thinks that the evidence makes it very likely that Sinema is a cunt.

Pelosi got 3 or 4 USCP Trump/America hating cops to throw their fellow LEOs under the bus.. There are ALWAYS cops in EVERY department who puts politics over their brother/sister officers.. There are a few cops in EVERY department who, like you, bleeds Democrat blue and not Police blue..

How, exactly, did the brave officers who survived their being physically beaten by Trump’s traitorous goons “throw their fellow LEO’s under the bus” by testifying to what they endured on January 6th? Testifying — after being physically assaulted, drug through the crowd and beaten with bats and metal rods, having their taser taken from them and then being tazed multiple times in the neck, believing that they were never going to see their children again — about what they survived at the hands of those attempting to overthrow our government in Trump’s name… that is the officer's “playing politics”?!?! These were officers who voted for Trump, and he sat back watching them getting attacked by his followers and Trump did nothing to help them…cheering for the rioters instead.
When Trump finally put out a video addressing the failed insurrection attempt, he did not tell the police that they were loved…his love was for those that harmed the officers!

Trump did not ever try to hide the fact that he was going to do all that he could to stop the electors from doing their constitutional duties after he lost the 2020 election by millions. He couldn’t even do that right!

Science should be guided by SCIENCE and not by politics..

This is complicated stuff, eh?

I will try one more time.

Mitigating the impacts of climate change requires both a scientific AND political discussion.

I'm sorry but, I can't make it any simpler than that.

Hope to hear your favourite tunes much later tonight ...

No one has denied Biden's blatant racist and sexist action because no one CAN deny that Biden's action is blatantly racist and blatantly sexist..

Turley merely points out the facts that I put forth above..

Using racist/sexist criteria to select a SCOTUS Justice who upholds the US Constitution is blatantly unconstitutional..

Biden once again hoists himself on his own Picard...

In making his pledge, Biden created a glaring contradiction for the court. He is using a threshold exclusion based on race and gender that the court has repeatedly declared either unconstitutional or unlawful for schools and businesses to use in their own admissions or hirings. There is a difference between a preferential and an exclusionary rule in selection. That contradiction will be magnified this term after the court accepted two cases that may further curtail — or even bar — the use of racial preferences in college admissions. Indeed, the new justice will hear arguments on the discriminatory use of such criteria after being initially selected not in a preferential rule, but an actual exclusionary rule based on race and gender.
https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/591925-confirmation-bias-the-fighting-has-already-begun-and-biden-hasnt-even-named?rl=1

Biden has created a blatant racist and sexist litmus test for this SCOTUS nominee..

How ironic would it be if the SCOTUS ruled that such a blatantly racist/sexist act is unconstitutional and cannot be done...

Get that?? The SCOTUS rules that Biden's nomination process is blatantly unconstitutional...

Oh that's just DRIPPING with irony..

And there is simply NO WAY any of ya'all could sugarcoat the blatant racism and blatant sexism...

Only by Democrats...

Science should be guided by SCIENCE and not by politics.. Democrats continue to fail in that...

It's a well-documented fact that most, if not all, of Democrat "science" actually started out as Democrat activism...

as any discussion on the dawning climate apocalypse will demonstrate.

There is no climate apocalypse... Dawning or otherwise...

There is simply climate... There has been for BILLIONS of years on this planet..

And now Democrats believe that they can CONTROL climate???

Com'on.. That's simply human arrogance talking...

Joshua is right, as always.

And, political discussions and science discussion are hardly mutually exclusive, as any discussion on the dawning climate apocalypse will demonstrate. In fact, they go hand in hand when discussing any global issue.

Well, at least you concede that Global Warming is a POLITICAL discussion and not a science discussion.. :D

That's a good start.. :D

NYC actress fired after rant over Jason Rivera funeral: Streets closed 'for one fucking cop'

https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-actress-jacqueline-guzman-fired-jason-rivera-funeral-rant-streets-one-cop

What IS it about cop-hating Democrats that they are simply disgusting human beings???

Even without all the drama, the absolute BEST that Democrats can hope for is the status quo... :D

What IS it about Democrats that they are firmly the Party of low expectations.. :D

That sigh of relief may be premature.. :D

As I have mentioned, it's unlikely that ANY black woman who has an ounce of integrity or self-respect and, therefore, would be acceptable to the GOP, would want to accept an Affirmative Action token nomination..

The most likely scenario here is that the process will drag out past the mid-terms when the GOP will take control of the Senate and make passing a nominee to the SCOTUS bench all but impossible..

A distinct possibility is that McConnell will be able to keep the seat open until President Trump returns to the Oval Office..

But here is an interesting conundrum..

I believe Breyer has stated that he will retire upon his replacement being named..

Now, does that mean, once the nominee's name is submitted???

Or does that mean, once the nominee is actually passed by the Senate??

This is an important distinction..

If Breyer retires after the nominee is named but before being approved by the SENATE, the SCOTUS will stand at 6-2 Conservative..

And if the nomination process drags on for years, then the SCOTUS will be even more firmly entrenched, at 6-2, in the Conservative mold during the process..

Which brings up an even MORE interesting question..

If the process drags on till 2025 when President Trump returns to the Oval Office, can Breyer rescind his retirement to prevent a 7-2 Conservative SCOTUS from becoming a reality???

This is going to be some really awesome drama!!! :D

Where is that global warming that Democrats are always hysterical about?? :D

Absent such a course correction, Biden’s ratings could continue to drop, and Democrats are more likely to be brought down by Republicans in 2022.

The GOP doesn't need to compromise with Biden and the Democrats.. The GOP has the entirety of the patriotic American people behind them..

It's Biden and the Democrats that need to compromise with the GOP..

Voters have turned on Biden because they feel he has disregarded the mandate he was elected to fulfill. Americans are clearly frustrated with Biden’s unsuccessful — albeit unwavering — efforts to advance a progressive agenda that is both beyond his political means and not designed to address the public’s immediate needs and anxieties.
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/590910-how-biden-can-correct-the-course-in-his-second-year

America is a Right Center Right country...

Americans don't want a progressive country.. They don't WANT a socialist country..

That is where Biden and the Democrats are trying to pull this country to..

And it simply is not going to work..

"This is something we SHOULD politicize!"

So, it's perfectly acceptable for you Democrats to politicize tragedies if it serves your Anti America agenda, eh???

And that just compared ONE SUMMER (3 months) of Democrat riots to 6 Jan...

We've had, collectively, TWENTY TWO YEARS of Democrat BLM and AntiFa riots..

And you want to sit there and ignore ALL these facts that PROVE that, when it comes to violent riots and attacks on government buildings, it's your Democrat Party and their militant wings, BLM and AntiFa that are the real threats to this country..

What IS it about Democrats that they destroy everything they touch??

First Star Trek... Now Superman..

They are like a ONE PARTY Wrecking Ball that simply demolishes everything that is good and decent in this world...

Exactly.. There have been NO COMMENTS of support for LEOs attacked and killed from you or Weigantians™ because you people don't support cops...

Politicizing the in the line of duty deaths of fallen police officers with such dishonesty is pathetic even for you.

YOU want to talk about politicizing??!!??? YOU!!!?????

Your Democrats and their DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE ***MADE*** it all about politics...

Only the President can call up the National Guard in DC. He’s the only one with the authority to do so…

Not factually accurate..

It's actually the SecDef who has that authority. But, in her role as House Speaker, Pelosi has the authority to request the National Guard and the SecDef is duty bound to honor that request..

So, yes.. Pelosi can call up the National Guard..

Why didn't she??

Since only Trump could have authorized their deployment…but didn’t… I guess he WANTED cops to get hurt..

Actually, the SecDef DID authorize the call up..

Pelosi refused..

Plus you ignore the HUNDREDS of USCP cops who have reported that it was Pelosi who didn't provide the National Guard for backup..

Why would they say that if it were not factually accurate??

You need to come to grips with reality, Russ..

6 Jan was nothing but a violent riot... Like the 22 years (collectively) of BLM and AntiFa riots that YOU ignore....

The ONLY reason you are up in arms about 6 Jan is because it's a nice shiny new club with which you can beat President Trump over the head with..

You don't REALLY care about cops.. Your Party is the DEFUND, DEMONIZE, DEMORALIZE THE POLICE Party..

Weigantians™ don't care about the cops that Democrats get killed..

As evidenced by the FACT that not a single Weigantian™ has offered support for ANY LEOs that have been attacked and killed by BLM in the last 13 years...

The facts are clear, Russ..

And it's clear you have no facts..

There have been no comments because those deaths had nothing to do with BLM or your favorite bogeyman, AntiFa. Politicizing the in the line of duty deaths of fallen police officers with such dishonesty is pathetic even for you.

Yes, Pelosi sits on the board.. Her and Schumer DO have the power to call up the National Guard to provide back up for the USCP.. They can even do so of their own volition..

In this case, they didn't even have to call up the board of their own volition.. President Trump did that "dirty" deed himself.. All Pelosi and Schumer had to do was agree to it. But they didn't.. They actively DISALLOWED the National Guard from showing up and providing MUCH NEEDED back up.

WOW! You managed to get everything wrong in these statements! And good job changing the goalposts after I shut down your original lie about the USCP. Only the President can call up the National Guard in DC. He’s the only one with the authority to do so… but he ignored all calls begging him to do so on January 6th. To have done so would have only hurt his attempted insurrection… and he’d worked too hard and planned to long to stop those committing the violence in his name!

Also, Schumer wasn’t the Senate Majority Leader on January 6th… Mitch McConnell was in charge. So even if you weren’t already wrong about everything, you’d still be wrong.

Why would Pelosi NOT want the National Guard as backup?? Because she WANTED cops to get hurt..

Since only Trump could have authorized their deployment…but didn’t… I guess he WANTED cops to get hurt..

Yer entire claim is BS...

It was President Trump who set up the offensive weaponry to Ukraine when all Odumbo would send is blankets and medical supplies...

This is documented fact...

And if this message meant so much to Trump, why did Russia not act while Trump was President?

Simple.. Because as Anti-War as President Trump is, he would NEVER have let Putin roll over the Ukraine...

Putin KNOWS that Biden is weak and moronic..

Biden PROVED that in Afghanistan.. Beyond ANY doubt, Biden PROVED he simply cannot lead... Biden PROVED that he will override military common sense and supplant HIS judgement for the judgment of military leadership...

Therefore, Putin KNOWS that he can roll over Ukraine and Biden will do in Ukraine what Biden did in Afghanistan..

Totally frak things up..

THAT is why Putin is going now..

Because Putin knows that he can beat Biden six ways from Sunday and Biden won't know what hit him..

Consider that back in 2016 — when the Republican Party actually had a Party Platform that claimed to hold specific principled values instead of simply swearing fealty to anything Trump says they value — the only change that Trump’s people wanted to the GOP’s platform was to say that the Republicans would no longer support arming Ukrainian forces to help them stave off a Russian invasion. This new Pro-Russian position to the Republican Platform stunned everyone.

We know now that Trump was never going to be held to the principles outlined in the GOP’s platform… they were never going to be even a blip on his radar when it came to his decision making process. That is what makes Trump’s lone change to the GOP platform all the more curious! If you were never concerned with what the platform says, then why did you make this one change that told the world that you were giving Russia permission to take what it wanted without fear of reprisal? And if this message meant so much to Trump, why did Russia not act while Trump was President?

I second this, CW.

And this Social Justice Non Binary bullshit is just as bad as it's ever been..

I mean, take this luser Adira character who is so full of herself..

She says her "pronouns" are they/them, yet she refers to herself as "I"...

I mean, how utterly moronic is that!?? Star Trek was all about consistency and that is about as inconsistent as it gets..

Why is it that moronic Left Wingers ALWAYS take a good thing and turn it to shit??

ST:Discovery in the later seasons is one big emotional Social Justice fest that has NO BEARING on what made Star Trek great..

As entertainment it's abysmal... As Star Trek, it's LAUGHABLE...

For a Party that *CLAIMS* to be all about inclusiveness and tolerance, Biden and the Democrats just made what is the most EXCLUSIVE and INTOLERANT decision possible..

Limiting the selection to just TWO PERCENT of the availability pool is the VERY definition of EXCLUSIVE and INTOLERANT...

The juxtaposition of the Court's color-blind certiorari grant on Monday and Biden's color (and sex)-centric announcement on Wednesday is nothing if not ironic. Perhaps Republicans might be galvanized to make opposition to identity politics a key part of their 2022 midterm election platform. And regardless of who replaces Justice Breyer, the Court next term will hopefully take us closer to a society that is race-blind—and not besotted by cancerous identity politics—by gutting affirmative action in America.

A-frakin'-men to THAT!!!!!

EXACTLY...

Right off the bad, Biden and the Democrats have narrow'ed the resource of a QUALITY SCOTUS to just TWO PERCENT of the availability pool....

What kind of utter MORON would limit such an important search to just TWO PERCENT!!??

TWO PERCENT!!??

What kind of moron?? Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Joe Biden and the Democrat Party... :eyeroll:

How can a justice who knows she was selected purely on the basis of race and gender reasonably be expected to adjudicate cases during her Court tenure that implicate issues of race and gender?

Once again.. EXACTLY...

How is an Affirmative Action hire token going to have ANY credibility to pass judgment on ANY issue to do with race or gender brought before her???

Answer?? She will have none.. By all that's right and just, she would have to recuse herself from ANY consideration of ANY case involving gender or race..

There is only one way to describe crass identity politics operationalized at this high a political level: Evil.

There is simply NO getting around the facts..

Biden, with the full support and affirmation from the Democrat Party has just embarked on a path that is fully, completely, unequivocally, factually and undeniably.... RACIST...

NO other interpretation is possible...

Democrats simply refuse to recognize this one factually accurate fact..

Making choices based on race IS racism..

Pure and simple...

Democrats CONSTANTLY make choices based on race..

Ergo, the ONLY logical, rational and factual conclusion...

The Democrat Party is the Racist Party...

I am sure you don't oppose it to the extent that I do..

But you have to feel SOME kind of ambivalence to Biden stating categorically that he won't consider ANYONE but a black female for the SCOTUS nomination..

How does one equivocate the blatantly racist and sexist overtones???

Thank you.. :D

Now about this whole "less is more" concept....

Heh.

hehehehehehe

:D

That applies to my ribs only.. :D

In Weigantia™, more is less.. :D

I am posting as fast as I can!!! :D

Your idea has merit but will require a WHOLE LOT of reality bending before we get to that point.

But the problems we face are more immediate.. Many of those problems will be resolved once the GOP gets Congress back..

More problems will be resolved once President Trump is back in the Oval Office..

In essence, once Democrats are removed from the equation, things will get tons better for this country...

Glad you're better. Now about this whole "less is more" concept....

Heh.

It would be comical to watch commenters trade bullshit talking points with Michale if it didn't have such serious consequences.

Which points of mine are "bullshit"?? I would be happy to prove you wrong... If you would just point them out..

:D

But the GOP would GLEE-FULLY band together to oppose her nomination and she would not be allowed to cast the deciding vote..

Even IF a VP could cast the deciding vote on a SCOTUS nomination... Which is unlikely..

So, once again, Democrats have painted themselves into a corner..

They are the dog that finally caught the car..

And now they are confused as to what to do with it..

I wonder if Biden will pick a nominee who can garner some Republican votes. I think this will factor prominently in his decision.

This is unlikely to happen and let me tell you why..

Any black woman that the GOP would find even REMOTELY acceptable would have to have at least a modicum of self respect and integrity.

And any black woman who has even a modicum of self respect and integrity would not accept the nomination..

So, the nominee Biden will pick will be a full-fledged unapologetic Social Justice Warrior cut from the cloth of a Cori Bush or an Ayanna Pressley or an Ilhan Omar...

Basically a nominee that it's no guarantee will attract even 50 DEMOCRAT votes, let alone any GOP votes..

In other words, any nominee that would even POSSIBLY attract a GOP vote or two would not even accept the nomination..

NO ONE with any self-respect or integrity wants to be a token Affirmative Action hire...

An unidentified BLM spokesperson informed the Washington Examiner on Thursday that the group does not currently maintain a "permanent office" and offered to mail a copy of its 990 within two weeks.

The Democrat Party is completely complicit and utterly responsible for this huge and blatant BLM con...
