Words have meaning, and I’m sorry that is hard for you. FYI, the president only “appoints” district court judges.

That’s The Tempest!

DEMS 2006: “This particular cucumber is fucking rotten and has weird shit growing on it; we’re not going to eat it. If you have any better produce we’ll consider those.”

Saying you oppose a particular nominee is completely different than saying you will refuse to consider any nominee.

“I couldn’t put you in a Shakespeare movie, because they didn’t have black people then.” He literally said that. I told that casting director: “You ever heard of Othello? Shakespeare couldn’t just make up black people. He saw them.”

Biden urged them not to retire just to affect who could nominate their successor.

I’m sure you can cite an actual example of Democrats actually blocking an actual nominee, right?

Bork got a hearing and a vote. That’s the Senate doing its job, especially since it confirmed Reagan’s subsequent choice.

We’re not pretending. Please do show us an example of Democrats refusing to participate in a Republican President’s SCOTUS nomination duties. Dear.

Yeah, this is all about managing expectations. McConnell et. al. are doing their best to make it seem normal that they’re not going to do their jobs, and Obama is just making it clear that the expectation is that they will. Establish the idea that the Senate is supposed to at least give the nominees a vote, and…

10/10 excellent use of the high road and kicking off the long con to throw this back in the face of the GOP as we get closer to November

He may be created of cheese but golems serve (see Jeb/Kochs). Trump is a monster, but he’s a self made monster.

I agree. I’m not against Hillary, but I just KNOW that a contest between her and Trump will become a protracted irrelevant argument about emails and Benghazi and what Bill did 18 years ago and THAT will become the main issues and not the current economy and ISIS, etc. And instead of grilling Trump about his experience…

Honestly, I think that Trump truly has no political agenda. He changes his mind from one day to the next, and disavows things he said hours earlier. He wants the pomp and the adulation; and simply blows out extreme rhetoric for its own sake.

Self-Proclaimed Democrats / Progressives, get your shit together now. Like, NOW.

With all due respect to Trevor “Jeb!” Noah, anyone else think that Jon Stewart would’ve nipped this Trump problem in the bud as quickly as you can say “eat pizza with a fork”?

Do not cry. Please do not cry. I promise you that this is so much better than Cruz. I know it seems like cold comfort but when it comes down to narcissist buffoon vs dictatorial sociopath, I’m going with the buffoon every time.

Well NOW you tell me?? I have some real apologies to make at the kids’ funeral, then.

The other day I got a hand gun to protect my kids, you know? And I’m really happy because it is SO important for them to be safe.

How is this putting us in an awkward position. I'm truly sorry he went through such a horrific ordeal, but he's still an idiot for pressing for this nonsense line of reasoning. Is he advocating that teachers now need to be in the position of making life or death decisions in an already high pressure situation.…
