Politics And Current Events

[Morkle]

Looks like there won’t be a stimulus package passed in the lame duck session. A lot of regular people will suffer.

Expect a significant market and economic downturn in Q1.

Gotta do everything they can to dump the entire blame on Biden here at the start of his presidency. Look forward to the incessant "BUT MUH DEFICIT" arguments.

[Viva la Ben]

Yeah it would be dumb to waste a political opportunity. They didn’t hesitate to ram through a SC judge.
I keep hearing you can’t let one party be unchecked, but for more than half of Trump’s office-its exactly what he’s had. He’s been able to push through partisan judges unchecked for all 4 years.

They are going to get back together after the Thanskgiving recess and they met as recently as Saturday.

That's all talk. I want action.

[Viva la Ben]

I mean if it didn’t fit his agenda, Mitch doesn’t even bring it to the floor. For the last 8 years.

That's pretty much the Senate's job, so obviously with a GOP Senate and a GOP President they were able to push through judges for four years.

Same for Obama and Reid from 2009-2015.

Boring truth is always clockwork.

Donnie spent his morning re-tweeting Randy Quaid.

[blackjack68]

From one certified crazy guy to another as yet uncertified crazy guy.

[Gaucho]

sad

[shafnutz05]

It still amazes me that Randy and Dennis Quaid are brothers.

"Partisan judges"

Explain.

"Partisan judges"

Explain.

"Partisan", AKA "not nominated by a Democratic president".

[Viva la Ben]

As in ones that rant about a democratic conspiracy during his confirmation hearing.
Or a high tech lynching.

The Kavanaugh stuff...I mean, there was pretty clearly an orchestrated attempt to derail his nomination on the part of the Democrats and their allies in the media. The media's "reporting" on Kavanaugh was absurdly one-sided; bombshell reports about the time in junior high school he allegedly bullied someone. Or the fact that (gasp) he liked to pound beers in college.

If I was before the Senate and getting accused of all of this salacious stuff in front of my family, I would probably be showing emotion too.

It was a similar deal with Clarence Thomas. Now, if you choose to unquestioningly believe both Anita Hill and the Kavanaugh accuser (which I don't doubt you do), maybe your perspective is different.

[MWB]

What if we choose to just unquestioningly believe Warnock’s wife?

[Viva la Ben]

Or think that his religious beliefs dont really hate the military.

[shafnutz05]

Or think that his religious beliefs dont really hate the military.

I'm not sure what the military stuff is all about, but Warnock is most certainly a vocal supporter of Jeremiah Wright. I think it's pretty safe to say that he buys into all of the radical black liberation theology stuff. He's a pretty out-there dude.

[Viva la Ben]

Didnt seem to matter that Amy Coney Barrett is in a far right cult either?
