  1. "Started it" and "ends justify the means" describe McConnell's GOP in 2016, eh?
  2. Turns out, character judgement is one of Joe Biden's strengths. Maybe he knew Ginni as well.
  3. You guys think George Mitchell (D who confirmed Thomas) is a fool or a saint? I think he was a normal guy and running confirmation hearings was his duty. I think the duty of the Senate Majority Leader now is to pack the court at levels. I don't think Schumer is getting it done.
  4. I am unable to imagine a scenario in which the contemporary GOP wouldn't pack the court at first opportunity. Therefore, the Democrats are obligated to pack the court if and when the opportunity presents itself.
  5. Packing is packing. No difference. Which rules do you want to play by?
  6. Nothing to admit. I said McConnell packed the court. He did so without confirming additional justices. I also said I want democrats to pack the court. That means they need to add justices. There are no inconsistencies.
  7. Who said I'm not? That is exactly what I'm arguing. I'm not arguing they are able or willing to do so.
  8. I don't care how big the court is. What is the difference? I haven't seen anybody label packing as illegal. I sure haven't. Let's not mince words, it is party over country. Those are the rules McConnell personally defined. You can't honestly expect only one side to act properly and put country before party
  9. Wait for a favorable president.
  10. Definition of court packing is about composition more than number. The point is to control the outcome of decisions. It is right there in the definition. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/court-packing. This is not the way it was done in the past. Clarence Thomas was appointed by Bush and confirmed by a Democrat majority Senate. Mitchell, the Senate majority leader at that time was a rube, correct? Clinton won in 92 and he was still majority leader. My hope is Chuck Schumer goes out to pasture. However, if an opportunity arises to pack the court I don't expect it to happen, I demand it.
  11. Best of luck to your son.
  12. Wyoming went into a steep dive, really quickly. They need a couple of dudes in the WRTC and a big name assistant to change that trajectory.
  13. My son had compartment syndrome in both triceps. Brutal and scary beyond comprehension.
  14. McConnell packed the court, 2016-2017.
  15. There is this rebuttal https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/03/01/fact-check-false-claim-hunter-biden-paid-joe-biden-50-000-rent/11247726002/
  16. 100M, 200M. Whatever it takes. Digital and dead votes are EZ!
  17. Don't forget to pack the court and reverse some decisions.
  18. I must have missed something. I didn't see this income on his tax return. Can you point it for me?
  19. Poor, clueless tourists. Doesn't look like they were charged with crimes of violence but are still facing serious time. I guess tourists and lookie-loos need to follow the same laws the locals have been following for 231 years.
  20. Video or it didn't happen?
  21. Where have you seen the charge(s)?
  22. If the judge hasn't immediately throw it out as frivolous, that would fail. More importantly, a civil suit would compel him to provide evidence. Ain't happening.
  23. I can't help but think he would start a new political party if he lost the Republican nomination.
  24. Doesn't look like this new normal is gonna die with Trump. LOL He is extremely consequential, I'll give him that much.
