What a stupid fucking argument. Every time there is a going to be a confirmation hearing a thousand fuckwits say “is this really the hill they want to die on?” tell me, donkeybrains, WHAT FUCKING HILL IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU

Pelosi (I think) was on NPR earlier today calling foul on the Republicans finger pointing. Only caught the interview halfway through and had to leave before it was complete. But, at least that’s something. But, yeah. The Dems need to yell this from the roof tops.

That’s a good argument when dealing with people who care about fair play, which the GOP doesn’t much. The counter argument is also pretty sound, tho: Say the Dems play nice on Gorsuch but Trump’s next nominee is some complete flaming Nazi. The Dems stage a filibuster & McConnell nukes it then. The question is finely…

That wOuld happen without the fillabuster, how do u not get that.

We are going to lose this anyway. Being nice to Republicans now so we can be shackled into going along with them in 2 or 4 or 6 years hasn’t been helping us.

The endgame is potentially blocking a nominee with the same damaging, terrible reactionary judicial philosophy as Antonin Scalia after Republicans, inspired by nothing more than naked partisanship, refused to even consider Merrick Garland following Scalia’s death. If they want to avoid a filibuster, Trump could put…

The legislation designed to troll is pretty funny. And generally wouldn’t even have the negative effects of the real-world legislation that does get passed.

What the holy fuck should she have done?!!!?!! Florida has already imprisoned a woman who fired a warning shot to dissuade a man who’d already beaten her, from doing so again. The story says this woman was arguing in part about keys. This suggests that maybe she was trying to keep this violent asshole out of the…

For McConnell to say with a straight fucking face that the Democrats are being obstructionist is obscene, given what they did to Merrick Garland.

So are all the really evil and corrupt jamokes affiliated with this administration, or has Trump just given them permission to act this way and we’ve just seen the first wave?

Okay, this election is basically an episode of Scandal at this point.

Because Cubans and Marines vote Republican?

The Gunshine State

This could overlap with a “Men also seek healthcare at Planned Parenthood, (plus Planned Parenthood does way more than abortions and abortion counseling you head-in-the sand morons) so this affects YOU!” campaign.

Let’s weaponize both!

Lord knows Florida is the only state where the cops don’t care for brown people....

I can only wish for such arrogance.

Thanks to Trump, we finally got to see what happens when Ayn Rand’s fantasy comes true and all of the rich people are put in charge of running things. Turns out they have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

Agreed. It’s absolutely maddening.

Her family can (and will I’m assuming) sue the department. And then racists will talk about them profiteering from their deaths and injuries.
