tell your democratic senators - merrick is the only choice

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

tell your democratic senators - merrick is the only choice

Unread post by billy.pilgrim »

not my choice by a long shot, but better than trump will pick


pertinent facts
he's been nominated
repugs on record saying that no SC judge would be confirmed ever if Hillary won
8 are working out fairly well


confirm merrick and trump gets the next pick

don't confirm merrick and the court stays with 8

come on dems - at least step up to what they would do
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

More likely, people agree. People are more likely to comment on something they disagree with.

I even commented on it in different thread. I like it, but it wouldn't work since the Republicans could go nuclear and confirm Trumps loon on majority vote.

Back in the 2008 election it was common to hear people saying that Bush II's misadventures shouldn't be held against the Republican party, because "Bush II wasn't really a Republican." This was especially common among places like WorldNetDaily that were soon rallying the Tea Party. Bush II and Co. were erased from history at the 2008 and 2012 conventions, not invited, not mentioned. History was rewritten so that the Iraq and Afghanistan occupations and other Bush II policies were Obama's doing.

You can bet that this will be far more common in 2020: Republicans will have hissy fits any time someone associates Trump with Republicans. The will of the majority of Republican voters in the primaries be damned.

Republicans in Congress need to be reminded that THEY go on record as being Trump supporters if they confirm a Trump loon.

Let them. What's the downside? Are you saying that we should approve everything trump does to keep the rules intact?

Tell Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and all Democratic Senators:

Block any Supreme Court nominee who won’t stand up for progressive values and stand with the people most at risk from Trump’s dangerous agenda.

I signed, but I also email shumer a couple times a week to approve merrick before trump gets his own nominee

As it should be

Not at all. Just noting that we may have a few carrots in our bag, but very few if any sticks.

I have a hard time forgetting 2009 and 10 when we had an abundance of sticks, but they stopped us over and over with filibuster after filibuster



Where's my public option

Let's see...billy posted this thread on Jan.26th. , obviously in hopes to start a discussion on his subject matter.

Two days later when no one replied, Mr.B states that obviously no one agrees with his post (or isn't interested enough to reply)....

Suddenly the pages come alive with comments....with the forum loon "inferring" that Mr.B is an idiot for suggesting billy's post was even worthy of comment.

It appears Mr.B got the lid off the honey jar; unfortunately it also attracted a blow-fly.

All I did was endorse rstrong's post, which is something so obvious and well known about web forums that it shouldn't even need stating, and thus I endorsed billy.pilgrim's OP, too.

You needn't explain, we all know the routine. Thanks for admitting it.

"and thus I endorsed billy.pilgrim's OP, too."
Only after you discovered you got dissed.

"Mr.B is an idiot, again."
At least I take breaks, whereas you are constant.

You're giving Nazi-boy too much credit. He's a racist, bigoted, misogynistic sub-moron who has apparently taken a vow of hypocrisy.
