Got it.

Golden.
Speaking of that, it was a great line in a debate, but why has nothing been done about crooked Hillary since Trump took office? Because there are mountains of evidence against her, right?

Suddenly jj is a fan of opinion pieces in The Washington Post, especially one that magically supports his point of view. Are you as big a fan of the Constitution?

Good to see the subservients are still out there where we left them back in 2017.As I told you before, it's not that I think the Republicans were wrong to refuse to confirm Garland. I just think this justification of a "Biden rule" or "lame duck period" is totally wrong and totally outside what the Founders would have said the Senate's duty is.
The Senate should have held hearings on him, asked him questions about his writings, and given him an up or down vote. They probably would have rejected him anyways, but they should have upheld our constitution and traditions by going through the process.

Ask for this. Up about lame duck a lot of people refer to a president as being a lame duck after the midterms in his second term.
No we have former FBI agents trying to pressure leland keyser into perjury. This is just undignified
Nope. Not in the dictionary. You guys just made it up, and now you've given yourself false memories about it.
Alternative facts.

Not sure why so many right-wingers seem so worried. Did Kavanaugh mean all that much? Somehow the Kavanaugh nomination does seem so Trump.
But the Federalist Society has a long list of upper middle-class middle-aged white men (and a few woman) who all went to pretty much the same law schools and can be counted upon to be reliably conservative. So what's the big deal? There is always another one to take his place. I don't think the Republicans are going to lose the Senate. The House? Probably. More Benghazi-type hearings!
These confirmation hearings are usually dull affairs. At least for this one we got some great political theater. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is covered in slime this time - especially Diane Feinstein. For the next one we'll see if anyone learned anything.
Every Supreme Court deserves at least one Drunk Frat Boy. Right?

I mean I guess you're saying that it was not bipartisan because Bork was the original choice for that role, but, six Republican senators voted "no" to Bork. That was "bipartisan" too.

Resentment of the educated is a typical Trumpette response. You're a reasonably smart fellow posting in a forum using software with built in features to aide you with that which is beyond your knowledge and comprehension. You could use them and not look quite so foolish, or be defiant and face the justifiable mocking of your literary shortcomings. Either way, America is already great, widespread pride in poor grammar and spelling notwithstanding.

So, apparently, Monica McLean pressured Leland Keyser into "revisiting" her account of events. McLean is the same person Ford's ex-boyfriend said Ford assisted in taking polygraph tests.
Right... because nothing screams validity like telling your friends to lie for you.

No, like Kavanaugh you altered it. Funny that the FBI felt the need to commit dozens of felonies while investigating a suicide.

Libertarianism is a political position. It's also a far cry from being a "trumpette" moreover, with Trump's record I'm having a hard time understanding how supporting him can be a pejorative.

Your voting record is not available to anyone because they take your name off the ballot before they start counting.
I don't care if you think I'm a "True Republican" or not. I know what my registration card says. I know how I've voted, usually for Republicans, sometimes not. The only reason to register for a party is to influence it and vote in its primaries. That's what I did. It's not a matter of identity. I'm no more or less Republican than anybody who has registered with the party.
So many of the errors and hyperventilating and pants wetting that you may see among people when they discuss politics is due to them making it an identity, or believing that one of the parties hates or upholds the other aspects of their identity.
To be fair, if you were a black person in the south in the first part of the twentieth century, the Democratic party really did hate your identity. If you were a gay person in any part of the twentieth century, the Republican party really did want you to be punished for what you might be doing behind closed doors in the privacy of your home. But both of those issues are basically resolved now, and most people were never gay or black in the first place, yet to this day most of us seem to approach politics like our identity is under attack.
I think both of us have, at least once, watched a girl we like get affection from another man. That's a common experience. For me it was almost 15 years ago. That feeling sucks. Politics never makes me feel that way because I don't confound it with my identity or love life.
