I will never not be outraged at what McConnell and the other GOP Senate gremlins did to Merrick Garland. By all accounts he would have made an excellent Justice, and they did the American people a disservice by stonewalling his nomination for almost a year.

I’m saying what good is Joe Manchin to the Democrats if he can’t even vote against a highly toxic and unpopular right wing SCOTUS nominee that has been credibly accused of sexual assault? Why should the DNC support him? Now that the primaries are over, it’s trickier, but he shouldn’t continue to get a pass for harming…

Only in a criminal trial is the standard “beyond a reasonable doubt.” This is a job interview - he either gets to sit on the most powerful court in the country or remain on the second-most powerful court in the country. He’s not going to jail and not even going to lose his current job.

Very true, and I in no way meant to besmirch the knowledgeable and valuable tour guides of America. Your point about how he isn’t even qualified to run the tour is just further evidence that he doesn’t belong on the Supreme Court as a Justice.

*said cousin is a college professor at an accredited, public university

He even lied yesterday about being able to legally drink in Maryland when he was 18, but by the time he was 18, the drinking age had been raised to 21. He’s lying about the most basic shit that he doesn’t really need to lie about, in order to cover up the much bigger stuff he’s been lying about.

Eh, I know the FBI is generally a conservative group of people but the way the GOP and Trump have been publicly shit-talking the FBI for going on two years, they might put a little extra effort in.

Welp, that’s it. What do we have to do to get his ass yanked from leading the DNC? Because this is not leadership. This mealy mouth playing both sides shit is exactly what got us into this mess in the first place. If it was up to Tom Perez, no women would have been protesting at the Senate building. Those two women…

These are the actions of a man who understands that at the end of the day, he’s speaking to an audience of one. And as mentioned at the end of the article, that audience of one is loving this shitshow.

Also born and raised in Maricopa County, also got the hell out of AZ as soon as I graduated high school. Such a backwards ass state.

I think he made a deal with the devil to become the next Attorney General when Trump finally kicks the Racist Keebler Elf to the curb

He also refuses to actually answer a fucking question and is indignant that the Democratic senators would even ask. This whole thing is a farce, Lindsey Graham is a fucking snake, Chuck Grassley is a million year old dinosaur and why we need term limits, and Kavanaugh is so goddamn entitled he can’t believe he didn’t…

You and me both. Then I saw this today too and I about threw my computer out of the 4th floor window of my office:

Would this make it easier for them to create what are essentially internment camps if they can also repeal the Flores rule? Families held in detention indefinitely, even if after they pass the first step in the asylum claim process, likely for years until their asylum case works its way through the system?

Jokes on him, I’ve seen RBG’s work out regimen and she is not to be fucked with. Plus she can craft intelligent, articulate, withering statements to reduce him to a puddle, while he couldn’t negotiate his way out of a paper bag with both hands and a map.

That sounds like an excellent Google doc to get started... 

True, I think the groups of people in the two original scenarios you mentioned would also be a circle

holy shit

Never underestimate Jefferson Beauregard Session III’s commitment to fucking over as many black and brown people as humanly possible in this fair country of ours. It’s his life’s work and he’ll be goddamned if he throws that away over something like dignity, integrity, or self-respect.
