Sure if you want the whole country to be worse I guess.


Thanks, Joe Biden.

I think McConnell would have confirmed Garland during the lame duck session because Obama never withdrew him. Garland is a dream nominee compared to someone Hillary may have offered.


Garland is a sparkling faggot. Learn your place.

uhh what. maybe the only difference between Garland and Holder is that Holder believes in the universal right to bear arms.

True, but as we found out over the past few months, he would have been a partisan hack and reliable vote for Dem legislation too. Was it Ted Cruz who recently said so fittingly "thank god you're not on the Supreme Court"?


Ted Cruz (or whoever it was) was simply engaging in theatrics. You'd have to be profoundly ignorant to think that about Garland given that he was an appellate judge since '97 and Grassley even floated Garland's name. What do you think is more reliable: hundreds of opinions on the most powerful circuit court or the analysis of Ted Cruz? Quit reading Breitbart my friend!

You two have an unbelievable amount of privilege. Just remember that the Dems can ALWAYS find someone worse. Maybe you can stew on this for a while: Biden could replace Justice Breyer with....Kamala Harris.

True. I think Mitch is just going to stall though.

Then they need to cut more, add more debt, or raise more revenue. I think it's pretty normal for initial estimates to be wrong, don't you?

there is a difference between say spending estimates to be off by 30%, as i almost expect this with our government, versus he total doozy of a own-goal saying it will cost $0 when that isn’t mathematically possible

raise more revenue lol you mean tax me and you more.

After CRT was clearly a winning issue for Democrats in VA and NJ, and since labeling parents as 'white supremacists' and 'domestic terrorists' was so obviously effective, Democratic strategists now plan to double down on that for the midterms:

House Republicans have obtained whistleblower documents showing that the FBI is using its counterterrorism division to investigate and add "threat tags" to parents—contradicting Attorney General Garland's sworn testimony.

Is this just the usual partisan outrage over a nothingburger, or does that really give Republicans a cogent argument to call for Garland's resignation?

This latest polling from West Virginia shows Biden with an approval/disapproval rating of 33/65 while Manchin stands at 61/37 (not too shabby for a Democrat in a state Trump carried by 39%).
It also shows West Virginians wanting to keep the filibuster by a margin of 67/26.

Hmmm.... seems like Manchin does indeed understand his state. Him not listening to the polls which showed "broad support for progressive climate policy in WV", or him opposing Biden's spending bill with all the purportedly popular economically liberal policy, doesn't seem to have hurt his standing at home.

Ted Cruz being scum doesn't change the fact that Garland has revealed himself to be a partisan hack in recent months, something that many on the right always suspected, but couldn't prove based on his comparatively moderate judicial track record.

For an example, look at my previous post in which I linked a scathing statement by the Judiciary Committee. It questions Garland's sworn testimony that counterterrorism was not used to target concerned parents (angry over CRT, mask mandates, school closures and all that stuff) in light of recent whistleblower evidence showing that Garland himself has issued an order to the FBI to create a new counterterrorism 'threat tag' category for these parents and investigate them accordingly (i.e. as domestic terrorists).







But sure, I must be a gullible fool falling for witless Breitbart-level propaganda when I question the narrative that Garland is a super moderate. :rolleyes:
