Why? Why? They're the side that won the argument. It is only because you are one of the most biased and partisan posters on this forum that you are pretending the Dems outrage over this is not fully justified, or that the Dems plan of action would not result in a court that better represents the country.
-
For you. But you want someone else to spend the time to do that for you, even though you woud never return the favour and would insult anyone who asked you to. Is there a name for a statement which disproves itself? Your protestations here ring just as false as your claims to be able to see things from the centre. Come on, the offer of a political pardon in return for election fraud, confirmed in court by representatives of the US government and the most condemnation you can offer is 'it's hardly damning'. Meanwhile if Pelosi boiled an egg for 1 minute too long you'd be calling for her head.

When you know you are lying to support your argument, why continue to stand by it? First, Clinton had no role in the process. Second, the vacancy left by Scalia's death was the longest in the history of the 9 member court. Only your hyper-partisan desire to criticise the democrats at every turn could possibly lead you to describe it as a rush. Every time the Republicans are caught with their pants down all you ever say is 'the democrats would have done it if...' But the republicans had Nixon, not the democrats. The Rs had Project Redmap, not the Ds. The Rs had Russian electoral collusion, not the Ds. The Rs have McConnell and his power play obstructionism, not the Ds. And it figures. The central plank of the Republican party platform is 'fuck you, I got mine'. What McConnell is doing is what the party stands for.
-
Were you concerned about that when Scalia's seat went vacant for 14 months? Senate republicans weren't. Why would they be worried about a vacancy of less than half that time?
-
Then the makeup of the court would for a short time swing to one side, to reflect the fact that the election results swung to one side. It's not just about time, though the time argument alone does make you and McConnell hypocrites of the highest order. It's about fundamental fairness, balance and representation. McConnell said "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president" and that was when the nomination would decide which way a 5-4 split went. Now, weeks away from an election he thinks his candidate will lose, he wants to let a 1 term President create a 6-3 split in the court. Again, it is quite clear in this process that McConnell cares about nothing but allowing his party to impose their will on the American people, and only a pure right wing partisan like you could ever pretend that reflects badly on the democrats.
-
I know you don't want to be informed about anything, that's the problem. Have you ever considered not being a massive hypocrite? Anyone who ever asked you a question that was already answered anywhere in the whole forum and you tell them to do their own homework, yet time and again you demand to be spoon fed basic information even after the link to said information has been put right in front of your face. It's arrogant, it's lazy, and it's why you're so wrong so often.

Funny, I remember the days of gun rights arguments here when all you right wingers would be wailing about how incredibly high the crime rate was in the UK because good people couldn't carry guns.
-
Have you ever considered reading an article? You never know, you might enjoy being informed about a subject before you spout off. Stranger things have happened.
-
Since he's a gaping moral chasm who cares about nothing but power then no reason at all. No great surprise that one of the most partisan posters on this forum thinks that. Anyone capable of even a modicum of independent thought would conclude that the Republicans are once again the soulless party of dirty tricks, concerned only with imposing their agenda on the American people rather than allowing them to be fairly represented.
-
The brazen hypocrisy is astounding. Has there ever been a more odious smear of shit in a position of power than Mitch McConnell?
-
What did the PD do to make them think that?
-
So two months ago the city council reallocated $1M of the PDs $193M budget, and you think that’s the reason for the increase in homicides over the last nine months? ”Doh” indeed.
-
You appear to have misunderstood your own statement. You were going asking about political statements in the fires, and there is nothing in that article to indicate any political motivations.

So... why are you still posting? -
Jesus dude, you really have zero sense of humour, eh? After Trump’s presidency has been constantly dogged by allegations of Russian collusion his campaign accidentally uses a picture of the Russian military and you don’t think that’s worth taking the piss out of? Why so serious?
-
So you are going to keep being that dishonest? You’re so blinded by bias that you’ll give credit to Trump for inheriting low troops levels in Iraq and Afghanistan but you’ll criticise Obama for getting them low in the first place? Yep. That figures.
-
That is a barefaced lie. There have been thousands more American troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan for the majority of Trump's presidency than there were when he took office. Comparing his numbers to those of the Bush Administration is a red herring on such a scale that it should probably be called a red whale. If you think that troop reduction in theatre is worthy of kudos then you absolutely must give that kudos to Obama. Will you, though? I doubt it.

Lol, stop whinging. These are your words "Those folks want to point out all the negatives but not acknowledge any shortcomings of others, or acknowledge the positives. I've done both. Until there is some level of fairness in the analysis it's just politics." You haven't done both. That's not a matter of opinion, you literally haven't said a single positive thing about Biden or Harris, yet you're accusing those on the other side of being negative, unfair and political for doing the same about Trump. So what are you looking forward to from a Biden/Harris administration, and/or what positive things have they accomplished in their careers? -
What they wanted was more people with access to real healthcare, and that has happened. It's funny that you try and paint the left as the heartless transactional bastards because of that, when in reality the ACA is the only reason you care at all how many people have affordable healthcare. Prior to the ACA the stated position of the American right to anyone who couldn't afford medical insurance was 'fuck you, ya bum!' So the crocodile tears of the right over the hardship faced by those whose premiums have gone up a bit are somewhat ironic.
-
But Obama!
-
Absolutely.
-
As someone who not only justified but applauded a right winger for shooting and murdering several innocent people recently you should reconsider the wisdom of getting on a high horse right now.
-
Hypocrisy is exactly the point. I’ve never heard Biden accuse those who did serve of cowardice. I’ve never heard Biden claim to be the biggest and best supporter of the military or the most knowledgeable person alive on military matters. Ive never heard Biden say he felt like a great soldier or refer to his personal Vietnam. I have nothing against anyone who dodged the draft per se, but Trump sure as hell deserves the criticism for it in light of everything else he’s ever publicly said about the military to advance his political career.

More like welcome to what happens when you pretend to be something you’re not. You can explain the drill to him, you have more than enough experience in that area. -

There are no qualifications for leadership. And that's not what you said. You said Biden has never had a leadership position or real job. So while you completely dismiss the three years he spent running his own business you represent the three years you spent running a project for someone else as if it was a business you built. But you also claimed you acknowledged the positives of both sides. You haven't though, all you have done is attack Biden and Harris, and all you have brought to the conversation is negativity. So can you actually do what you claimed to do? Can you tell me the positive things you are looking forward to from the Biden/Harris presidency? Can you tell me the positive things they have done in their careers so far?
