It’s misinformation. They say only Supreme Court justices can be confirmed with a majority vote, which is not true, Democrats got rid of the filibuster for lower court judges in 2013.

If Biden nominates this judge, it is all but certain he will get the votes to pass. Plenty of Republicans will be on board to confirm an anti-abortion judge, and that Biden nominates him gives any Democrat who wants cover to vote for him. Also, you’re wrong about district court judges, they are not subject to a…
This is fucking insane. I am not sure how else to describe it. Setting aside for a moment how fucking awful this is (and that is a pretty big ask, because it is pretty fucking awful), I cannot believe Biden’s team looked at McConnell and thought, collectively “let’s trust this guy.” The same fucking hobgoblin who…
JESUS! This is such crap. WHAT IS WRONG WITH DEMS! McConnell will almost certainly not do what is says he will, and what about all the other Republicans? McConnell can say whatever he wants, and then the rest of his Klan will hold up nominations. Why is it that my party keeps working against their own goals. In some…
You forgot the last step:
Ah, the Susan Collins “Can’t tell if you’re a liar or a moron” gambit.
Vote. Register as a Democrat and vote THEM out in the primaries. Because if they are perfectly willing to do jack shit, they are part of the problem. Better to lose fighting for the thing than “win” and get nothing.
“I am of course saddened that the GOP broke the agreement on increasing social security payments by 0.025% after we already implemented the agreed concession plan to deport all trans and non-binary people to the Middle-East to be murdered by the Afghani chapter of the Republican Party. However I do not believe this…
Later in his term, I’m expect Biden will proudly show off his ability to reach across the aisle, working with the Republican-led congress to a privatization of Social Security.
Biden and Feinstein are a lot alike. They really think these people are their friends, and we’re all in this together.
The Democratic Strategy:
My thoughts exactly. Mitch McConnell is a snake. I wouldn’t trust him to hold a door open for someone, let alone “promising” not to hold up future nominations.
In Mitch’s defense, he will abide by the agreement as long as Joe Biden does his job for him!
Honestly, I think that might be Ezra Miller...
I have this as a BBQ apron. Never knew I was so high fashion!
Huh, I guess Dakota has a strange obsessive fanbase to match her actions...
Hold the phone. Lamar Odom dated TARAJI P. HENSON?!?
Some noise is impossible to block out. Like the power of the #MeToo movement and the clamor of cancel culture, which have swept through Hollywood in recent years and put so many of her former male co-stars, like Depp, LaBeouf and Armie Hammer, in jeopardy of never returning to the profession following abuse…
“In Men’s Health, Pratt also addressed the recent controversy around the Instagram post in which he praised his current wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, for giving him a “healthy daughter.””
All else aside, he’s right on this one. That was a deeply stupid “controversy.” Of course a person is happy that their kid was…
