Yep

That is just sad, almost pathetic even. Whole life to think about and her last thoughts are about Cheeto Man. If there is an afterlife, Trump is going to remain rent free in her head there.

I've been so out of the loop with american politics that I actually have no idea what is going to come out of this.

 

[Salubrious]

Ok, I've lived in a hardcore lefty environment all my life.

Why does everyone hate her? I'm genuinely curious.

Well, March is a bit different than mid September. But yeah, they're all hypocrites. If Republicans try to push it through, will you admit they're hypocrites?



That's completely retarded and you know it. Republicans said they should wait so they could do the "will of the people". It's September, so shouldn't they wait, too?

Lol.

On most days, I think that you’re a useful devil’s advocate. Today is not one of those days.

If the Republicans go for it (Which, for the record, I don’t think that McConnell will. The man is all about precedent.) they’d be playing by the rules that Democrats wanted to play by in 2016, ignoring their own precedent. Literally called the Biden rule. Democrats agitated for it during Obama’s final year because they were too stupid realize that doing so while they didn’t hold the senate was a fool’s errand. It would be just as easy to say “we’ll try it your way. Hearing’s in a week.”, they would again have no one to blame but themselves because these are the rules that they wanted to play by.

And if you think that March or September is a meaningful difference? Well, the difference between March of 2016 and November of 2015 was wasn’t a meaningful difference to the dems four years ago when it was a precedent that Joe Biden set.

Tactically? This will benefit whoever exploits this better and Trump already ran this page out of the playbook the first time that he was up for election with Scalia.

In the meantime, STFU... You have the memory of a goldfish.

 

[Gog & Magog]

If there is life after death, I hope Scalia and Ginsburg are riding elephants together wherever they are now.

They finally pulled the live support to gin up support for the election in November.

Have some emoshit you neckropers.

Ehh, she'll probably haunt him for the ~10 years he has left in him.

Why would The Hill use this picture?

Mad Lad Trump might actually pull the trigger on this thing. The Salt must flow.

"She wished not to be replaced until the next President is sworn in."

Why would the GOP wait five years to appoint a Supreme Court Justice?

 

[Jigglyjogglers]

Cruz doesn't want the nom, and has said as much. He wants the big chair.

I'm going to place my bet on racism. Somebody who knew Amy in college will claim that they totally heard her use the gamer word one time.

Such, we will kindly remind them that the PM of Canada had worn Blackface in his senior college years.

Well, he ain't getting it.

Cocaine Mitch speaks

 

[inception_state]

What's the big deal anyway there's already enough GOP senators who said they're not gonna vote until after the election

Is that confirmed? Romney definitely, Murkowsi maybe, Collins maybe is what I've seen so far. But the Democrats need four defectors thanks to the VP breaking ties, right?

Moscow Mitch is the one who said it was about a principle, not me.

And now Schumer is making the exact same argument McConnell did last time... Why do you expect principles from politicians?

He deserves the chair alright.

Spineless cuck.

 

[tehpope]

I can't believe that RBG said those words on her deathbed. Its bullshit. Unless they have proof. And even then I still won't believe it.

Such, we will kindly remind them that the PM of Canada had worn Blackface in his senior college years.

And the current Governor of Virginia. And his Lt. Governor did some racist shit too.

 

[WonderWino]

We're all crabs tonight.

That said, this should lead to all kinds of insane ranting and crackpot articles coming out within the next few days. It should be quite interesting to say the least

 

[Roybertitos]

The democrats under obama removed the ability to filibuster or obstruct a court appointment. Now all that is needed is a simple majority vote from the senate to confirm a candidate.

The "nuclear option" would be Cocaine mitch ramrodding a candidate through before the election, all while telling democrats to suck his dick because there is fucking nothing they can do to stop him, and they are the reason they dont have those tools anymore.

Yeah I remember it was mentioned in a thread somewhere, but essentially the dems fucked themselves cause they believed they'd be winning forever. Mitch warned them that if they went through with it, they'd regret it. Guess he was right lol.

It's been a while, but I remember it was this satirical article that portrayed Cocaine Mitch as some herald of darkness that was supposed to clown on him, but everyone was posting that it made him sound badass. Can't find the thread but it'd be fun to read it again.
