They can create a lightweight roof for the current stadium by stitching together all of the pages they’ve torn out of the science and history textbooks over the past 15 years.

This is how he has had the appeal he managed to gain. You make two statements that are not in anyway compatible, and say them both with gusto. People who are listening will then attach their meaning to the statement that they agree with and ignore the rest. It’s an unfortunately effective and clever way to manipulate…

Remember that fucking time Ted Cruz’s fucking dad helped Lee Harvey Oswald fucking shoot JFK, bro?

Due to the deft maneuvering by his daughter there, I hadn’t noticed the mealy-mouth, weirdness that his sons call alternately “breathing” and “smiling” in the background there. Yuck.

I have lived in Texas most of my life.
There is never in water in that creek and there is a Wal-Mart next to it.

Tiff’s probably in Category B after this: 

What do you think are the new factions?

How are they dying? They’ve gotten stronger in the last eight years. They control 31 state legislatures. It takes 38 states to ratify Amendments. Seven states that they don’t already control have shifted right since 2010. They’ve proven that obstinance works to advance their long game.

Why don’t you ask John McCain that? He’s the one who literally said he would oppose ANY nominee Clinton put forward. If he actually didn’t mean that, he’s the one who should answer for using those very obvious, clear words, not me. I know that he voted in favor of Merrick Garland’s appointment to the second most…

That’s some strong GOP logic.

Found an answer, looks like the established clerks will probably be able to work their way into other positions in the courts but the new ones are fucked. The regular staff will also stay on for now. http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2016/02/14/what-happens-to-justice-scalias-clerks/

What if next year, one of the conservative judges becomes incapacitated or dies? You’ll be looking at a locked in liberal majority on the bench. Ooops! Then what will they do? Demand a nominee that be someone of their choosing, Constitution be damned? “Balance” they’ll cry!

This is like an episode of the Twilight Zone. The import of McCain’s words are obvious. He ACTUALLY SAID HE WOULD OPPOSE ANY NOMINEE CLINTON PUT FORWARD. I am not making that up. He is telling you exactly what he would do. I am not a mind reader, and I do not need to be one. He said in clear, unequivocal terms what…

And how does that relate to their unprecedented filibusters from 2008-2010? You know, when the dems had control of both houses but couldn’t overcome a filibuster (except for a couple months, depending on the health of a dying old man).

It was entirely due to him being friendly and open with the press in his 2000 campaign and for the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill. That’s it.

I love it. These GOP neanderthals spent all this time (lying and) screaming about waiting and giving the people a voice! Then, when the people speak, they come back with, “LOL J/K we’re still gonna hamstring the President because we are human tire fires and live in Garbagetown and have no morals or need to hide our…

I saw this coming back in February.

“We should let the American people have a say.”

“The American people elected a Democrat.”

“Pshhh, fuck that shit. Let’s keep this party going!”

It’s not a silly criticism to quote exactly what McCain said.

Bullshit. Obama’s nomination (Merrick Garland) was a man several Republicans said would be a good fit for the role, and yet they still refused to approve the nomination because it was Obama that nominated him. McCain is saying they’ll continue to do the same with Clinton.
