If Orwell were alive today he probably would admit that he originally had government controlled by a false choice between two parties but rejected that idea because it would not be believable that people could be that stupid to buy into the lie and that exposing the lie would never get published.

Write a post that proves you are dumber than a bag of hammers without using either of the words "bag" or "hammers."

"Orwell" was the "pen name" of Eric Arthur Blair who was British and therefore experienced things from an entirely different political lens than your narrow-minded two-party monotonous prattle, blather, drivel and spew.

I am done for the night..

@cad, Bashi et al... It's safe to come out of hiding.. :D

hehehehehehehehehhehehe

That's the problem with the Democrat Party..

They discredit every American value possible...

Just a heads up, JMC...

Next month will be the same as this month.. :D

Except Democrats will be DEEPER in a hole... :D

Awwwwwww JMC.....

Don't go away mad... :D

Just run away... It's all Democrats can do these days, eh?? :D

Yer a prime example of exactly what is wrong with the Democrat Party today...

You do not have the strength of strong convictions..

Ya know yer wrong and yer embarrassed to even TRY to make an argument.. :D

I get it...

Two excellent comments. And then the deluge of the usual (by now) ... 20 posts in a row, leading to, well, you know. See you all next month.

"OH MY GOD!!! AGAIN AND AGAIN BASHI IS BODY-SLAMMED TO THE MAT OVER AND OVER!!!! OH MY GOD, IT'S HORRIBLE!!!! IT'S BRUTAL!!! BASHI DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE OUT THERE!!!!"

Biden last week confirmed that he would make good a campaign promise and nominate a Black woman to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, who announced his retirement last week. There has never been a Black woman on the country's highest court.
Ilya Shapiro, who was to take up his position at Georgetown Law on February 1, tweeted on Wednesday: "(o)bjectively best pick for Biden is Sri Srinivasan," a judge on the US Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia Circuit. Shapiro also described Srinivasan as progressive and smart.
"Even has identity politics benefit of being first Asian (Indian) American," Shapiro wrote. "But alas doesn't fit into latest intersectionality hierarchy so we'll get lesser black woman. Thank heaven for small favors?"

Democrats cancel'ing their own!!

I love it!!!

BBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Still having trouble being factually accurate I see..

Go ahead.. State your position.. If you have the ballz... :D

But hay... I am a fair guy...

If I attributed your claim improperly, correct me..

State your position on the FACT that Biden is basing his SCOTUS nominee SOLELY on race and gender...

Go ahead.. I'll wait.. :D

I quoted you verbatim, Bashi...

You lost.. Accept it gracefully and move on like you always do.. :D

Whatever you have to tell yourself to make it thru your day... :D

Everything above does not exist as far as I am concerned.

Yer the one claiming that Biden is NOT making his selection based on race and gender, even though Biden specifically stated that is exactly what he is doing....

I linked the facts. Of course those aren't "reputable" sources in your book because they totally blow your arguments out of the water..

Why did you post something about it?

Why is that relevant??

You either agree with my assessment or you spit on the grave and the memory of Dr Martin Luther King and agree that a racist Justice nominee is perfectly acceptable..

Everything above does not exist as far as I am concerned.

So, your argument is that Biden is NOT selecting his SCOTUS nominee based SOLELY on race and gender.. Even though Biden has specifically stated such...

So, your argument is sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming, "Nyaaa Nyaaa Nyaaa I can't hear you..."

Yea, that's about par for the course with you.. :eyeroll:

Why did you post something about it? Personally I scroll to the bottom of the page, and if there is anything worth commenting on in the last few posts, I do so. There rarely is. Everything above does not exist as far as I am concerned.

Did you link to reputable sources? You know, no newsmax or opinion pieces?

That no one can come up with any evidence about. That would be opposite of factual...

I have actually posted the facts about that fraud time and time again..

Of course you ignored it because you didn't have any rational or factual response...

"OH MY GOD, BASHI IS BODY-SLAMMED TO THE MAT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! OH MY GOD, IT'S HORRIBLE!!!!"

:D

I notice how you didn't accept the challenge to justify Biden's racist SCOTUS selection process... Glad ta see we agree on that.. :D

“It’s dead.”

Joe Manchin is STILL being asked about Democrat Wet Dream Bill AKA Build Back Broke..

Manchin's response??

"It's still dead!"

I just LOVE how Democrats like to bring up their failures over and over and over again!! :D

That no one can come up with any evidence about. That would be opposite of factual...

THE ONLY consolation is that every red state has a significant minority of Democrats and that as cities in these red states grow the entire state will trend Liberal

You keep thinkin' that. :D

Reminds me of the time ya'all were so giddy about Texas turning Blue...

And what happens? Texas goes MORE RED because hispanics are leaving Democrat by the tens of millions!!! :D

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

No wonder you "ignore" my comments cad.. :D You have NO FACTS to counter them... :D

After all, I don't recall anyone predicting that Joe would win Georgia and Arizona or that both Dems would win their GA Senate runoffs.

Dems only won those races due to the well-documented factual fraud committed before the elections..

And to think that this was once the Party of Lincoln and Ike (the last good Republican President.)

THE ONLY consolation is that every red state has a significant minority of Democrats and that as cities in these red states grow the entire state will trend Liberal. After all, I don't recall anyone predicting that Joe would win Georgia and Arizona or that both Dems would win their GA Senate runoffs.

Leave it to Democrats to latch on to an ideology that weakens their own position while, at the same time, strengthening the position of the political enemies..

Are Democrats TRYING to be incompetent??

Or does it just come naturally?? :D

No: the bar needs to know, as it puts it, which of the “following best fits with the gender identity you identify as [sic]: Female, male, gender variant/Non-conforming/Non-binary, Two Spirit, Not listed.” The bar also wants to know: “Which of the following best applies to you: Cisgender, Transgender, Intersex, not listed,” and: “How . . . you describe your sexual orientation or sexual identity: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Heterosexual, Pansexual, Asexual, not listed,” among other identity-based queries.

I knew California was completely frak'ed up..

I just didn't realize it was THIS frak'ed up!

It takes deep involvement in academic-inspired narcissism to imagine how bar policies could be affected by a survey showing that 0.5 percent, say, of attorneys in the state identify as “Two Spirit” or as “Pansexual.” What if the proportion were 2.5 percent—how would bar programs and policies change, compared with a merely 0.5 percent share? The State Bar deems such knowledge urgent, yet it denied access to its database of public records for a study of how racial preferences in California law schools affect student learning, something of much greater import to the future of law than the number of nonbinary lawyers.

The quality of our jurisprudence matters. The race, sex, and “gender identity” of judges do not. Private parties rely on an opinion’s clarity of reasoning to predict the outcomes of legal disputes. Some of the nation’s most complex moral and political questions have been addressed through the medium of legal decisions, especially from the Supreme Court. The quality of those decisions can strengthen or undermine the legitimacy of the law and of our constitutional order. Commercial matters can be nearly as complex, requiring the reconciling of competing statutes and regulations.

The complete and utter stoopidity is mind-boggling..

I honestly do not think it possible to over state the completely horrendous frak up that Biden has committed here...

As we get nearer and nearer to an actual nominee being selected, more and more facts will emerge to demonstrate how badly Biden has frak'ed up...

Assuming Biden stays the course and doesn't back out of his pledge, whoever the eventual nominee is, is going to have a HUGE stack of facts against her...

The author of that study, UCLA law professor Richard Sander, attributes that unequal performance distribution to mismatch: every remotely selective law school admits black students with academic qualifications on average vastly below their white peers. Mean black and white scores on the 2013–2014 LSAT were separated by 1.06 standard deviations, the Brookings Institution has found. In 2004, only 29 blacks, or 0.3 percent of all LSAT test takers, scored 170 or above on the LSAT, the average score for the most competitive schools, reports The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education. Whites were more than ten times as likely as blacks to score 170 or above. Yet those schools all admitted what they deem a “critical mass” of black students by race-norming their admissions standards.

The possibility of Biden actually getting a competent SCOTUS candidate is virtually not possible..

That's not racism speaking.. That's statistical FACT...

An estimated 2 percent of the nation’s lawyers are black females. The introduction of any extraneous criterion for a job search lowers the average caliber of the potential applicant pool, by putting top contenders who do not possess the irrelevant trait out of reach. Contrary to the nostrums of diversity advocates, the role of a judge is not to “look like” this or that identity-based group; it is to apply the law as accurately and transparently as possible.
https://www.city-journal.org/bidens-identity-driven-supreme-court-nomination

Biden has limited his search for a "qualified" SCOTUS Justice to just TWO PERCENT of the available pool of prospective Justices...

What kind of leader does that???

Answer: A bad leader...

If Biden had nominated a Black woman without his self-interested pledge, any presumption that she was chosen in large part for her gender and race could have been rightly written off as sexist and racist. Instead, such belittling presumptions are taking the spotlight because, according to the president himself, they are correct.

I'll start this where it began..

No matter HOW ya'all want to spin this, Biden scroo'ed da pooch..

That's NOT me saying it..

That's the far Left Wing rag, SLATE, saying it...

The fact that no one has refuted the fact with facts of their own??

Simply more proof that the claim is dead on ballz accurate...

Exactly....

Nobody understands this better than Kamala Harris. In the presidential debate after he promised to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, Biden said he would choose a woman as his running mate. When he eventually tapped Harris, that gimmicky pledge dulled the announcement’s shine. She wasn’t a historic choice with a unique set of accomplishments and skills—she was the fulfillment of a campaign promise. Ever since, Harris has struggled to overcome the notion that her primary utility to the White House lies in her “lived experience” as a woman of color.

Headboard Harris is proof positive that the eventual SCOTUS nominee will be useless as a REAL an ACTUAL SCOTUS Justice...

She will be nothing but a token.. An Affirmative Action hire with absolutely NO SKILLS to speak of..

Just like Headboard Harris...

Tarnished by Biden's OWN selection process...

Biden has NO ONE to blame but himself for his tarnished nominee...

As I have said (and no one has refuted) NO nominee with even a smidgen of self-respect or integrity would accept such an Affirmative Action token nomination...

Of course, the author provides NO facts to support this claim...

The ONLY factor in considering a SCOTUS Justice is the legal competency of the jurist...

PERIOD.. Only a racist would think that race should be a factor..

Blatant and definitive political pandering and quid pro quo...

Unequivocally...

Now, predictably, conservative commentators are using Biden’s pledge to insinuate that anyone he picks will be underqualified for the court, just because he’s choosing from a smaller pool of candidates populated entirely by Black women. The National Review went further and accused the president of discriminating on the basis of race and sex, “not a great start in selecting someone sworn to provide equal justice under the law.”

Insinuate?? Stone cold FACT.... Ignoring 98% of the selection pool in favor of a blatantly racist selection process...

Thereby PROVING once again, that the Democrat Party = the Racist Party...

As a campaign tactic, it was not only selfish, but short-sighted. It gave Biden what may have felt like a boost in the moment, while creating a wide opening for criticism and doubts about the women who’d contribute to his presidential legacy.

Let's play that once again for the cheap seats..

As a campaign tactic, it was not only selfish, but short-sighted.

Short-sighted...

A Democrat requirement. :eyeroll:

I have yet to hear ANYONE here in Weigantia™ successfully justify this blatantly racist and sexist selection process...

Why is that??? :D

Though public support for affirmative action programs is on the rise, with 62 percent of U.S. adults in favor, the way Biden has talked about the value of diversity in political institutions is remarkably crass. It’s no wonder that the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of his own party, are chafing at it.
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/01/biden-scotus-black-woman-nominee.html

Note that the above doesn't come from some Right Wing anti-Biden news source..

The above comes from a dyed-in-the-wool Left Wing propaganda outlet..

You just HAVE to know that Biden is in trouble when his far Left propaganda rags are slamming him down for his racist selection process...

No matter HOW ya'all wanna spin it.. Biden has royally, and racist-ly, scroo'ed da pooch on this..

When we grant police power over life and death, we should ensure their consciences are informed by the best of our religious and moral traditions.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2022/01/31/fix-police-racism-ethics-training-not-qualified-immunity/9243641002/

If you take away qualified immunity for LEOs then no sane person in their right mind would WANT to be an LEO..

Cops would leave the job by the tens of millions..

Which is EXACTLY what cop-hating Democrats want.. A country with no law enforcement..

Ironically enough, if that were to come about, it would be the black Americans, the hispanic Americans who would bear the brunt of such a moronic and boneheaded move by the Democrat Party..

We can discuss curtailing qualified immunity when cop-hating Democrats quit employing mob "justice" and convicting LEO's solely in the court of public opinion...

What *IS* it about today's Democrats that they are CONSTANTLY going against the will of the people???

The vast majority of Americans DO NOT want a race-based or gender-based selection process.. Hell, even a majority of DEMOCRATS don't want a race-based or gender-based selection process!

Why is Biden going against the will of Americans in general and Democrats in particular???

Does anyone have an intelligent response to that question???

{{{cccchhhhhiiiirrrrrrppppp}}}{{{ccchhhhiiiirrrrppp}}}}

Of course not...

A person whose very existence, entire being and everything about their life...??? Revolves around race...

As Exhibit A:

A Black woman on the Supreme Court can't fix Democrats' problems, but America needs her
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/a-black-woman-on-the-supreme-court-cant-fix-democrats-problems-but-america-needs-her/ar-AATkZSu

America needs a competent Justice on the Supreme Court Of The United States..

If that competent Justice is a black woman, so be it..

But to EXCLUDE 98% of ALL possible candidates is a virtual GUARANTEE of not getting the best qualified candidate on the bench of the SCOTUS...

Blatant racism... Unsurprisingly from the Racist Party...

If Orwell were alive, he would update the book to include the slogan, "Rigged Elections Are Voter Integrity!"

The Democrat Party Slogan...

The End of America? It's Not That Hard to Imagine

The underlying question I have is: Why are people so eager to believe the claim that our election procedures are inviolate and beyond reproach? Don’t they realize that by demonizing anyone who questions an election — calling it an attempted coup in Trump’s case — they are making it that much easier for bad guys to steal elections in the future? And isn’t that a much bigger threat to the republic than anything Trump ever did?
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/01/31/the_end_of_america_its_not_that_hard_to_imagine_147118.html

As I proved above, it's your Democrats that have brought about 1984 with their ambitious and realized domestic surveillance programs of the Odumbo years...

Back during the Bush administration, President Bush wanted to nominate Janice Rogers Brown, a black woman, to the appeals court as a prelude to putting her on the Supreme Court of the United States..

But Democrats filibustered her nomination and she was never ascended...

Democrats used today's much hated (by Democrats) filibuster to ultimately prevent a black woman from becoming a SCOTUS Justice..

Which proves beyond ANY doubt...

Democrats are simply interested in their political agenda.....

Considering that it's been DEMOCRATS who have heightened domestic surveillance to Orwellian heights, the simple fact is, it's the Democrat Party who has made Orwell's 1984 into reality...

This is well documented..

Note that it was the late CW's award of Odumbo THE BIGGEST LIE OF THE YEAR for Odumbo's claim that, "I welcome the debate on domestic surveillance"...

Because influencing the 2020 vote is EXACTLY what Biden was doing when he made the pledge to ONLY consider a black woman if a SCOTUS opening became available..

It was completely pandering... A quid pro quo arrangement with Clyburn..

If Biden made the pledge to ONLY consider a black woman for the next SCOTUS seat (a COMPLETELY racist promise) then Clyburn would throw his support behind Biden..

Biden made his racist promise.. Clyburn put his support behind Biden. And Biden won South Carolina which was the turning point in Biden's campaign..

It was BLATANT pandering on Biden's part and ya'all applauded it..

Now President Trump is the one pandering and ya'all are hysterically up in arms about it.. As if it's some nefarious and evil agenda when it's nothing but run o the mill political maneuvering..

Thereby once again proving that Democrats are always doing what they accuse the GOP of doing..

Barring a debilitating illness or a successful assassination, President Trump is going to be in the Oval Office come 2025...

Ya'all better start getting used to that now.....

I LOVE asking the question I know ya'all can't answer.. :D Because, to answer would put ALL ya'all's arguments on the trash heap where they belong...

Ready??

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...

Biden is spitting on the grave and the wisdom of Dr Martin Luther King...

Biden's racist nominee selection is the EXACT OPPOSITE of EVERYTHING that Dr Martin Luther King stood for..

Selecting a person SOLELY on the basis of the color of their skin and not the strength of their character...

Russ,

That’s simple. Only in your mind are your arguments successful and reasonable!

Ahhhh So, everyone else is delusional.. YOU are the one that is factually accurate in reality.. :D

Well, THAT notion has already been refuted.. :D

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?

Yea, that's yer claim.. PROVE it..

I always have facts to support my claims.. Where are yours??

Where were Republicans with their anger at Trump for only considering female candidates to fill the seat that RBG’s passing had opened? Was Ronald Reagan wrong to pick Sandra Day O’Conner to serve as a Supreme Court Justice?

None of it ever happened..

As I proved before, Reagan simply said he WANTED a woman on the SCOTUS.. He considered MANY men before he selected O'Connor.

In President Trump's case, Coney-Barret was in the selection with Kavanaugh and others when Kavanaugh was selected..

Coney-Barret was simply the next one up when an opening occurred soon after Kavanaugh..

Once again.. FACTS... vs hysterical political hate and bigotry...

Maybe if Republicans keep getting asked about why they are traveling down the path set out by the important and relevant book, Nineteen, Eighty-Four, then some of them might ... well, wake up!

But, probably not, I'm guessing ...
