@metal-brain saidAnd they know that if the pendulum EVER swings back the other way, they are so screwed.
Republicans did it because Biden made it clear democrats would do the same thing given the opportunity. The Rs just beat the Ds to it.
" I also notice that you declined to address McConnell's new precedent to set confirmation at 50%+1 votes rather than 60."
That was due to a congressional vote, right? I've never really understood why that was possible, but either pa ...[text shortened]... ort to it or were they just unfortunate to not have the votes at the right time to do it themselves?
This is why PoC will never be allowed to vote en masse again. They're the only ones without their head up their ass.

Who is going to stop them and how? You are just talking more crap. Those who have the votes get their way. It isn't unfair if both parties can do it, so what are you crying about?
@metal-brain saidWe are crying at the total corruption inherent in the Trump so-called administration. He is CLEARLY corrupt to the core, a 50 year long lying streak now laid bare by the NY Times. And OF COURSE his pet dog Sanders saying all false accusations, fake news but lets see what NY state thinks about it when THEY get involved and find out Trump and daddy screwed them out of hundreds of millions in taxes and we of course know the statute of limitations has expired so no criminal case can be made UNLESS the Mueller probe finds the same corruption going on yet today which I have no doubt has gone on and this time INSIDE of the statute of limitations with his phony charity foundation and all that crap. His COO has flipped and that is going to mean more than all the other dolphins flipping to date, Manafort, Cohen, the whole lot will be background noise when the PRESENT corruption is revealed, Russia connection be damned, we won't NEED the Russia links to prove his present corruption.

How will you live with yourselves collectively when the truth about Trumps 50 year long string of corruption gets proven in court and maybe even present corruption comes out in the open, eh?
Those who have the votes. What a pile of garbage. You can't even see this goes WAY deeper than that, in fact it is nothing less than a bid by republicans in a coup to take over ALL THREE branches of government and get a 40 year lock on SCOTUS in the bargain.
This is not the America we knew where congressmen actually worked together, fighting all the way but at least sometimes coming to a workable agreement with compromises.
Now Newt Gingrich has been shown to be the author of the new republican strategy of NEVER giving an inch. That happened around the time of the Anita Hill days. Newt Gingrich should be charged with treason. He is the chief strategist of the new republican 'don't make deals, EVER' party from 20 years ago.
How has that worked out for you, eh? You love the way the US is the laughing stock of the world where our Trumpite goal is PATRIOTISM over working with the 96% of the world population who Trump now views as near enemies, well except for Russia and North Korea.
Tell me again how all that is working out, ok.
@sonhouse saidWhat does that have to do with what I was talking about? You digressed into an incoherent rant and nobody knows why but you.

@metal-brain saidThe ACTUAL end of SCOTUS will be when republicans complete their coup and take over all three branches of government, at which point you will be dancing in the streets and the founding fathers be damned and the theory of checks and balances go out the window.
When Biden becomes president and every single SCOTUS pick he makes is accused of sexual misconduct from decades ago, what will liberals think then?
This is a dangerous precedent to set. Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot and don't know it yet. The precedent will not end because a liberal is in office.
@sonhouse saidSo republicans are the evil political party and they are all corrupt and democrats are incorruptible. Is that about it?

The right and left wings are both part of the same corrupt bird. You are a moron to think any different.

@metal-brain saidExcept for the part where democrats actually help people while republicans care less about people but care a LOT about corporations, allowing the EPA to be killed for instance, so those cynical hypocrites can start dumping toxins into our rivers again like they did in century 20. As just one example.

Or not giving a shlt whether big pharm increases prices 1000 percent or more and I'll be darned, republicans get a huge payday from them.
Gee, what a COINCIDENCE. And on and on.
Oh yeah, the latest Trump trick: After it was revealed Trump diverted 10 million from FEMA just before this years hurricane season, to buy tents to house those incarcerated children, now he just stole 266 MILLION more from cancer and aids research to make even more tents and pay even more guards so those dangerous 2 year old kids can't escape.
REAL nice guy Trump.
And you think DEMOCRATS are corrupt?
Now shown Trump did not start out with a 'small' million dollar loan from daddy but in fact SIXTY million he needed to keep his sorry ass out of bankrupcy and that JACK, was proven in court because Trump sued the guy that brought out that little tidbit and LOST. That is only PART of the corruption that has gone on with Trump for the last LITERALLY 50 years, trump becoming a millionaire at age 8 for instance, his daddy teaching him how to avoid taxes and all that, pumping a half billion into trumps accounts in sham corporations designed just for that purpose.
Yessir, a real nice guy you worship.
@metal-brain saidCreepy Joe will make it to the Oval Office?

Well with the hypocrisy in the media and government, you are probably right.
@sonhouse saidPredictably you criticize Trump for general republican positions, not that democrats are not tools of corporations as well. Obama continued the Bush tax cuts, remember? He bailed out the huge banks that betrayed and did little lending afterwards (the whole reason for bailing them out) so the money supply still contracted anyway!

You are ignoring the sins of Democrats and focusing on the sins of Republicans. Open your mind to all of the sins!

You don't call that corrupt? Already have congress and WH, tomorrow they will own SCOTUS too. Coup complete. Must be Hillary's fault, or equal between Obama and Hillary. Yep, it's all from those corrupt democrats.
@sonhouse saidI thought it was Putin's fault.
Right now republicans are in power and are set to complete the coup of government.
