Politics Thread

Do you make any valid points or just spout off useless drivel like most internet heroes? Seriously, do you know his stance on the issue? It's pretty extreme. It probably mirrors other highly religious issues as well. I get you are in Trumps pants, but step back and realize we are on a path back to the 50s. Instead of Eisenhower, we are going to have McCarthy.

Funny, you defined yourself in the first sentence and provided the evidence you are what you accuse Go of there after. That was pretty fantastic. Well done.

Not sure if goes here...but it's political. Absolutely devastated that Wilmington and Clinton County didn't get that Amazon business. 1.4 billion investment into the air park and 2700 new jobs to a county that lost 10000 jobs when DHL left. Poop. My brother in law has been working close on this deal and has killed himself the last year and a half a half. He is crushed. Pilot strike before Christmas didn't help. But I think the politics are what killed that deal. Now northern Kentucky gets the money and jobs. The community could have really used that punch in the arm. Instead, the community got kicked in the groin. Sucks.

Neil Gorsuch was confirmed by the Senate *unanimously* in 2006. Now let's see which Democrats decide to play petty politics this time.

And here are all the current and former Democrat senators who confirmed Gorsuch https://twitter.com/AndrewWMullins/s...98116904333312

Such names as: Obama, Clinton, Schumer, Biden, Durbin...

So you are quick to criticize democrats being hypocritical.... but fail to recognize the republicans who set the precedent?

What precedent? Because I don't believe Kagan or Sotomayor were ever unanimously confirmed as a circuit judge, but I could be wrong.

Isn't this the same as the "but Obama" defense many Republicans use and many Democrats correctly deride?

Referring to Garland. Which was also "petty politics". Both sides are guilty of this and pointing out one side without the other is "not fair!"

Both sides can be a-holes that's well documented.

Two final notes... a lot can change in 10+ years, so assuming you would vote for someone 10 years ago doesn't mean you would today. And circuit judge is not exactly the same thing as Supreme Court.

1) This whole process is now f*cked because of what the Dems did during Bork

2) Read the words of Obama's solicitor general https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/31/o...l-gorsuch.html
