Disrupting a President of his Constitutional duty? Tainting the legitimacy of the Senate and the Supreme Court?

At least you're being honest and saying it's to push one ideological belief as right over another. But any respect is basically gone for you; you see things through a "this way or that way" lens of black and white.


The senate is not obligated to confirm incompetent judges. If Obama had nominated someone who would actually interpret the constitution rather than insert whatever ideological desires the Democrat president had, there's a strong chance they would have been confirmed.


The mental gymnastics! :lol:

If the shoe had been on the other foot and a Democratic majority had blocked a Republican president from getting someone on the court, y'all would've been foaming at the mouth.

I fully expect we will not be getting any more originalist judges on the court without a Republican president and senate. Doesn't make me happy, but it's better than letting a whole bunch of leftist judges who will invent constitutional rights out of thin air on the court.

Yeah, it is super shady. But if you look purely at the end game, McConnell got done what he wanted done, you have to give him that. But yeah, I agree with Corpse, if the Democrats knew what was good for them, they’d have gotten this passed long ago.

Democrats have no teeth and Republican voters have gone past the point of integrity. The future looks pretty much in the camp of fundamentalism as the GOP voting base doesn’t care how it gets done, as long as thing like the overturning of Roe vs Wade gets done. The Democrats have become the new Conservative party of appeasement and have no, well, no balls.

I think the Republicans were still easily more religious 20 years ago than now

Not sure to be honest, but makes sense as the country is less religious in general

The left had things under control due to the influence they had on media and schools, and had boxed the Republicans into always positioning themselves slightly to the right of the Democrats to always compete, so the farther left they went the Republicans also went left. Romney was more left than 90s Bill Clinton for this reason, and 2030s Republican candidate on that trajectory probably would've been more left than 16 Hillary. So even if they lost a few elections it didn't really matter as they were winning in the long run.

However things like cancel culture, Russiagate, lockdowns, BLM riots, etc. really turned people off, and especially turned them off the media. The moderate Democrats let themselves get swayed too much by their friends on the far left instead of standing up to them. As much as it hurts conservatives to be unfriended by people on Facebook because they posted an opinion they disagreed with, it would hurt someone on the middle left even more to lose their approval. Furthermore the more obvious that corporate America and establishment politiciains like Biden/Hillary/etc. were on the far left bandwagon, the less cool it became. Remember the South Park episode where the kids stopped playing pokemon as soon as the parents got into it? Instead of being fuck the system like Occupy Wall Street, they were the system now, while the shitposting memeing rebels were on the Trump side. I felt the energy shift and the joy return for leftists online during the GameStop saga because it was the only time in the last few years they actually got to be on the other side of Wall Street again and feel like they were fighting the system.

In short while not guaranteed, all of this leaves the door open for conservatism to once again be popular again in the US, with the previously long term left wing trajectory now being interrupted and the far left taking a ton of damage in terms of how much people respect them. They have themselves to blame for just going too crazy and being too 10/10 in emotional intensity until people got sick of them.

Trump needs to be arrested. He sees to be handcuffed.

And how exactly would this have happened and be kept secret for 18 months?

Boebert being a prostitute was more believable than this

Give me a break. Why would the J6 committee have allowed Hutchinson, so far their star witness, to testify (under oath!) if they didn’t confirm what she was going to say with other sources so she didn’t lose credibility?

Meanwhile Peter Alexander talked to “a source” and Shack dismisses the entire thing. Of course.

If the secret service agents were willing to corroborate it, why didn't they just have them testify about it instead of relying on someone testifying that the secret service agents told them the story? Maybe it's because the people in the car actually weren't willing to back it up?

The story that the agents are denying it is even being ran by the networks who are J6 committee friendly

Let them testify under oath then, if they’re going to dispute her account.

Whatever. Talking to you is like arguing with a brick wall and always has been. The lengths you’ll go to defend these whackos is hilarious to me.

If everything was as it appears with what the anti Trumpism industry sells the left, they would have gotten him by now

Seems right on the surface, but remember it took a Herculean effort by the Treasury Department of all things and a last ditch Hail Mary when switching the jury to get Al Capone. And Al flaunting his crimes very publicaly.

What a dark time. How many young girls are going to die because they are scared and desperate and resort to some back alley doctor to perform an abortion. And of course they are going to try to make being gay illegal. Never mind marriage.

It's always these deformed The Hills Have Eyes-looking old motherfuckers trying to tell other people what to do with their sex lives and their reproductive organs.

Funny how the people who talk about how Trump is a threat to democracy, are upset that the Supreme Court made the abortion issue more democratic, it's now more determined by the voters and their elected congresspeople.


Ok but why should people's bodies and their personal lives (because they already explicitly stated they want to reinstate sodomy laws) be subject to the opinion of the majority??? Since when is it ok for a democracy to dictate what you can do WITH YOUR OWN BODY?
