Yeah, but that was enough to confirm. Not to mention Alito got confirmation hearings and a vote (a lot more than Garland got) I don’t get your point...

“however, they gained little support, even within their own party.” Enough said.

And Bush was able to appoint two conservative (especially Alito) to the Supreme Court. The Republicans in the Senate left Scalia’s seat open for a year even though Obama nominated their preferred candidate. Not one single hearing.

Here’s Tillerson’s

Donald Trump has the authority to order military strikes. That’s the reality we live in. God help us all.

Ding, ding, ding. I was just telling my husband how everyone loves a war-time President.

Not nearly as many over as many years and there’s this from your Wiki article, “Things changed in 2005 due to the 2004 elections. With President Bush’s re-election and the Republicans picking up further Senate seats (55-45) in the 109th Congress, the “nuclear option” became a more viable strategy to ensure…

First, not to this level and second, it was the Republicans who brought the government to a screeching halt with filibuster after filibuster (and I haven’t even mention the over 100 federal court vacancies the Republicans refused to let Obama fill)

No that’s not on them. Whose making the Republicans use the nuclear option? If they had any interest in working with the Democrats they would put forward another nominee (which, again, should have been Merrick Garland to begin with) The political games the Republicans have played is shameful.

Nope, there only one party that refused to give Merrick Garland a hearing. Only one party that set the record for Filibusters. Only one party that flat out refuses to work with the other side, and it’s not the Democrats...

Democrats have little to no power, but his excuse is waaaaaaa the libuls are being mean to me.

🎶 And so it must be
For so it is written
On the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price! 🎶

Don’t worry guys, I’m sure Jared’s on it.

Wow!! Clinton is so powerful and influential she can singlehandedly tell the RNC who they must nominate!? That’s amazing!

Diana is where she belongs?

Yup, I have a FB friend who right after Trump was elected posted that Trump would be even greater than Reagan. Now, total silence.

Wow! A huge private military company plays both sides of the aisle!?

Agreed, but sometimes it’s so fitting

Could you imagine the outrage on the Right if President Obama did this at a rally and a person considered to be “the face of BLM” did this to a white member of the audience?

But Trump’s approval rating is at 35%, threw them (and everyone else) under the bus with the health care fiasco. In other words, he’s not just burning his bridges but pouring gasoline on it as well.
