That soft “pop pop pop” sound you hear in the background isn’t entrepreneurial types preparing popcorn to sell at the swearing in ceremony.

It’s liberal heads going “pop”. (smile)

Skippy

And planning there move to stack the federal courts… I posted a link from here onto a few pages about Da Nang Dick today.
I’m stunned how many likes and how clueless
People are about he being a phony LMAO !!!

Repeat my comment from the Trumps Chumps Thread comment. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DASHITLERBITCH!!! Another Justice that you DIDN’T get to appoint. Wonder how much sh^ t she has thrown around the room in the last few minutes? Gotta feel sorry for the Secret Service Troops that are on her detail. I guess SecTres is in overall command of them? You reckon being an agent assigned to that detail would be the equal to the old “Thule” Greenland AFB assignment from the days of old? Meted out as a punishment or in lieu of UCMJ Action?

Congratulations to Judge Amy. May you have a long and distinguished career protecting the Freedoms of the American People and their Constitution. There is a God and He has just Blessed us.

I have been on VIP missions for her when she was FLOTUS. She is by far worse than you could ever imagine any person could be. That is one nasty “lady”.

I have a friend from my high school days that MIGHT use a foul four letter cuss word once or twice in a bad year. He once saw Das Hildebeast in person off camera and said “She’s the most evil damn bitch in Creation!”, that she could walk into a packed stadium and you could feel her presence, she’s that venomous and acidic.

Well, now, there really is some good in this world….

Andy11M

And the libs are already screaming to expand the SCOTUS to 12-13 seats. Hmmm, last person to try that was FDR, why am I not surprised.
It failed last time, it will fail again.

SFC D

But that’s not court packing. At least that’s what they say.

Poetrooper

Yeah well, maybe those doing all the mouthing off about expanding the court should be thinking about the wisdom of that if Trump wins.

Oops…

Commissar

Trump is not going to win.

Republicans have only won the popular vote once in the last 30 years.

They squeezed out a few wins without the support of the public due to a few thousand vote margins and their electoral college advantage.

An advantage they may not have anymore moving forward. Especially as some more states turn blue.

A Proud Infidel®™️

BITCH, PLEASE! If it weren’t for the Electoral College, the likes of NYC, LA, Chicongo and the major cities would decide elections just like Chicago does for IL, NYC does for the whole State and many others. Just look at the las Electoral Map and you’ll see why it exists and I look forward to you going batshit over President Trump getting re-elected. President Trump has doubleheader rock concert-sized crowds everywhere he appears versus Biden who can’t even halfway fill even a small high school gym or cafeteria and has gone back to his basement until Election Day!

Deckie

Hah! I was gonna say, *someone* forgot what the Electoral College is for… but we all know those wee little states in flyover country don’t matter for shit to lefties..

A Proud Infidel®™

And Major Moonbat is the one constantly braying about how well educated he is.

Sarge

The electoral college is there for a reason…same reason as the senate and house have different manning amounts of people per state.

Hack Stone

Come back next week and talk about who wins, Lars. Hack is not saying that President Trump will win, but the last go around the “polls” called for Hillary to trash him, and that did not go as expected.

Hack is trying to figure out why you keep talking about the popular vote, when the Presidential election is based on the electoral college. Hillary knew that going in, and she was confident that she sweep the election. She should have worked harder on securing the Deplorables votes.

Penguinman000

It’ll be interesting to see what happens to the dem vote after all the limo liberals have fled from NYC and the like. It could dilute their vote more than the party expects since they aren’t moving to the same locales.

The guy drew a crowd of thousands to a small Maine apple orchard

Up heah in the County there are Trump signs everywhere. Yuge ones.
Maybe half a dozen Biden signs coupled with Dump Trump signs.
But the massive amount of Trump signs is something to behold.

Biden draws more Trump-supporter hecklers than his own supporters.

I constantly have this conversation with people (usually children). Hillary did not win the popular vote. Hillary won CALIFORNIA. Let’s get that straight. Hillary won California by 4.26 million votes. She won the national popular vote by 2.8 million. Drop California from the equation and the President won the popular vote by almost 1.5 million.

This isn’t high school, we aren’t electing student body President based off a popular vote. As much as you don’t want to believe it, the founding fathers knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they set the E.C. up. You may not like it, but you gotta accept it…..or you could just MOVE.

Hillary won CALIFORNIA.”

11B-Mailclerk

Trump won the only vote taken, and the only one that matters. And he is very much likely to do so again.

Are you one of those nincompoops that claim the Cubs didnt actually win the World Series because they didn’t outscore their opponent in total runs? No? Then why similar nincompoop comments about imaginary alternate-reality elections that never happened?

Oh, right. You make shit up.

A Proud Infidel®™️

Wham-bam-BOOM, happy birthday to Das Hildebeast! I look forward to enjoying some 200 Proof Schadenfreude while hearing liberals screeching and screaming!

Commissar

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. The Republican Party just became the dog thought caught the car.

Soon to be political road kill.

Nothing good is going to come of this.

There was a time when the best way to get onto the court was a lifetime of moderate and non-partisan rulings.

Now we have yet another Republican operative and former RNC lawyer, vetted for partisan ideological purity stacked onto the court.

The court has become an entirely partisan body.

Republican have only won the national popular vote in an election once in the last 30 years.

And their support has been waning,

It only takes two former red states going blue for them to lose their untenable grasp on the electoral college and the senate.

We can expect to see at least two this election.

The ruling of a now entirely partisan 6-3 conservative court packed with former RNC operatives is going to create a deep resentment for the Republican Party and the court over the next 10 years.

A Proud Infidel®™️

Hey Major Moonbat, RBG was a lifelong rabid prog herself, remember that she worked for the ACLU?

The Dead Man

Your grasp on reality is about as tight as my grasp on theoretical nuclear physics parsed through Swahili you barking loon.

And this is coming from someone who has questions about her appointment. Incidentally, from some of RBG’s rulings, her grasp on the constitution and the intent of the founding fathers about matches your grip on reality and my aforementioned grip on google translated theoretical physics.

QMC

Sotomayor and Kagan say hello.

Andy11M

And this all could have been avoided if the dingbat had just stepped down during Obamas term when her health was shit. But like so many other Federal judges you couldn’t get her off the bench with a bangalore torpedo.

11B-Mailclerk

It is really weird when a person who swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution, objects to Supreme Court Justices who follow the written Constitution.

11B-Mailclerk

Oh, and again, my thanks for your tireless efforts on behalf of re-electing Trump.

5JC

You are nuts. I’m not sure what fantasy time you are writing about. There has never been a time when nonpartisan moderate judges were selected for the SCOTUS. Sometimes the president screwed up (that liar Justice Stevens) but they never picked someone out of concern of them being a moderate, unless they were moderates themselves.

Sometimes when the opposition party held the Senate in strength they would send a more centrist appearing judge. But that was just to get them through.

This crazy idea that people have these days that we are somehow more divided, more racist, more partisan as a people these days as opposed to the past is telling about people and shows complete ignorance, lack of education and most oftentimes willfully obtuse rhetoric. I mean I hate to call people stupid, but there you have it.

5JC

Oh and congrats to Barrett, IMO she should have been appointed last time.

Trump made good on another promise of appointing good judges. He may lose the election but he has kept word and his actual record is pretty solid.

Anonymous

Following the as-written law is “partisan,” eh?

FuzeVT

So what happens when. . . .

-There is far left progressive on court:
Cases are decided on how that person personally feels about that thing politically. (e.g. gay marriage, abortion being a “right”)

-There is an extreme right conservative on the court:
The Constitution gets followed. (E.g. flag burning being found to be a right of self expression under the 1st Amendment regardless of how distasteful.)

►9 leftists would mean no conservative law would be found Constitutional again.

►9 conservatives would mean all laws (even silly lefty ones) in concert with the Constitution would be found Constitutional.

The Other Whitey

That’s a lot of bullshit trying to cover the standard anti-Catholic bigotry of the modern left, Lars. The alarmist propaganda your side squeals about Barrett is so absurd it’s almost funny. It even sounds an awful lot like the crap that fueled antisemitic pogroms in eastern Europe in days past.

None of it is true, nor is it based on anything she has actually said or done. But your side is running hard with it anyway. And for the sweetest irony, the answers she’s given that you hate the most are the ones that mirror what your idol Ginsburg gave at her confirmation hearing. Double standard much?

The attempted “gotcha” questions by dem senators were idiotic, and her answers made it clear that she is substantially smarter than they are. Example:
Q: “Are you going to rule against the Right to Privacy?”
A: “That’s a ridiculous question, because the only way that would be in front of me in the first place is if you passed a law curtailing that right. Are you planning on doing that?”

And why should Republicans regret anything? Polls done since the hearings showed 52% of Americans support her confirmation, only 27% oppose it, and the rest don’t care. If SCOTUS was determined by national popular vote, it would be no contest. If anything, this unconstitutional and unpopular court-packing horseshit is probably going to cost the D(ouche)s dearly.

We’ll just see who comes out on top of the election. Your smug predictions have been so consistently wrong that my confidence is now renewed.

Oh, and as always, Lars, fuck off. You’re an asshole, an idiot with delusions of genius, and a pathetic little needle-dick cocksucker with a pathological need to prove yourself superior to everyone else. Go back to Berkeley; the psych department should study you.

Commissar

Ginsburg was a moderate.

Even according to republicans at the time. Look it up.

It shows how far right you asshats have gone.

Also, the ACLU is non-partisan. You think it is because your party has moved against civil rights.

ACLU fights for gun rights, property rights, and the constitutional and civil rights of all citizens,

You all have gone full crackpot. So you think defending citizen rights against the government is a “liberal” agenda.

A Proud Infidel®™️

Ginsburg was a moderate like you’re a Conservative!

Commissar

Dude, prior to Barrett, republicans had appointed 14 of the last 18 justices.

And you all still whined about how “liberal” the court was.

Apparently even a 240+ year old constitution is too liberal for you all. .

Now you have appointed 15 out of 19.

So maybe shut the fuck up about how “liberal” you think the court is?

Ginsburg was a moderate. You all just shifted so damn right wing that you left even a 80 year old moderate behind as “too liberal”.

Dude, prior to Barrett, republicans had appointed 14 of the last 18 justices.

And from 1933 to 1952, presidents from the Democratic party appointed 12 consecutive SCOTUS justices. From 1933 to 1968, Democrats appointed 17 of 22 SCOTUS justices.

SFC D

The ACLU may be non-partisan, but it is by no means neutral. And what you call “moved against civil rights” would be more accurately called “leveling the playing field”. You and your people want equal results, we want equal opportunity. The results are up to the individual. You’re a fraud.

Commissar

Nobody is talking about “equal results.“

That is bullshit.

The only thing that has ever been on the table is equal opportunities.

And you all oppose that.

A Proud Infidel®™️

We’re for equal opportunity while you and your ilk perpetually demand equal outcome regardless of the effort one puts forth to succeed!

Hondo

More precisely, Commissar and his ilk espouse “economic equality”, regardless of effort or individual ability. Or, stated another way: they support, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

In plain terms, they support unconditional income redistribution from those who earn to those who do not.

SFC D

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

Now why does that sound familiar?

The Other Whitey

That makes sense. Lars has no abilities, but he has a long list of needs.

A Proud Infidel®™

I don’t see Major Moonbat ever having any kind of real job in the private sector, my bet is that he’ll just be some bitter Government bureaucrat in some cubicle stewing while hating himself and life.

SFC D

Conservatives want everyone equal at the starting line, and an equal chance at success that’s based on what the individual puts into achieving it. You and your progressive liberal zombie friends want equality at the finish line, and for the successful to pay for it. I say fuck off, good sir!

rgr769

Ginsburg was a moderate and the ACLU fights for gun rights. You truly are delusional. What do they call the parallel planet earth where your mind resides?

Sarge

Its called Fantasy Land.

Lars for President, where every house gets a rainbow farting unicorn.

5JC

The ACLU was founded and is run by Socialists. They opposed the Heller ruling and see gun rights as “collective”. Thanks but no thanks, they can stay out of our gun cases altogether. They try to poison every gun case they come across.

RBG was far left. Change my mind if you think otherwise. Show 3 moderate stances she held. You can’t.

Hondo

Correct. In spite of the SCOTUS decisions in Heller v. DC and McDonald v. Chicago, the ACLU contends that those cases were “wrongly decided”. They further hold that the US Constitution provides no individual right to firearms ownership and that states can impose “reasonable restrictions” on the right to “keep and bear arms” guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment.

https://www.aclu.org/other/second-amendment

“ACLU fights for gun rights”…

Lars is losing whatever grip he has to our Universe. The ACLU deliberately and consistently fights AGAINST the Second Amendment and right to bear arms, and it boasts about that publicly. Get a grip, Lars…

rgr769

The ACLU was specifically founded to provide lawyers to defend Communists from criminal charges. But it’s founder decided it needed to pretend it cared about the constitutional rights of others as cover.

Penguinman000

The ACLU supports banning assault weapons, high capacity magazines and red flag laws. How does that fit advocating for the 2nd amendment?

Meanwhile, the ACLU defends organizations like NAMBLA. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wired.com/2000/08/aclu-to-defend-pedophile-group/amp

Lies spewed forty yet again. Or perhaps you failed to read beyond the first paragraph.

You are a clear example of why the founding fathers saw a need for the electoral college.

Progs hate truth and reality, especially when it conflicts with their plans for absolute power over people. Remember “ in every Progressive there is a totalitarian screaming to get out.”

Ginsburg was a moderate?

She might have been considered a moderate in 1993 – but afterwards, not so much?

(And yes, dickhead. I looked it up.)

I might hook a few 9v batteries to it as well.

Could also break open some glowsticks and drip the sauce on it to create a “lightsaber of eternal pain”.

Should also note that while Hawaii is super liberal (Crazy Mazie), Antifa is not present at the moment.

Poetrooper

Asshats? The only folks sporting asshats at this point in time are the likes of you and your delusional, deranged basement buddies. Asshats festooned with socialist bling, worn by asshats like you who portray themselves as heroic for carrying band-aids and pricey bottled-water for deranged Antifa pricks who may nick themselves while smashing the windows of honest businessmen.

Much to your disappointment, Lars, when all the cases arising out of your current criminal outrages filter up through the system to the Supreme Court, you’re going to get a FAIR, constitutionally-based hearing, not the left-biased white-washing you were counting on with the addition to the court of a Biden (actually Harris) appointee.

And guess what Lars? Some of your worthless asses are going to end up banking some serious hard time where band-aids and bottled water won’t buy much dispensation from the predators you champion.

The very worst enemy of leftist ideology is reality, Lars, real, actual life, led by real human beings looking to better themselves and their progeny. That’s going to be a hard lesson for you and your brethren. Those prison predators are all about reality–hard, very hard, reality.

But then reality always is hard for those on the far left who haven’t an inkling of the concept of lessons learned, with which you, as a military officer in a combat theater, should be intimately familiar.

Now that President Donald Trump has successfully had a Supreme Court Justice appointed this close to an election, it is no longer “unprecedented”.

Ruth was absolutely for filling supreme court vacancies as quickly as possible. Right up until Trump was elected and the it was the seat she was occupying that was in question. Shades of John “Heinz” Kerry.

Either way them screeching about illegitimacy of this appointment while pushing her supposed dying last words/wishes is simply outrageous.

That they can do it with a straight face is almost Oscar worthy.

Frankly, it will not surprise me to find rumors of trying to get her impeached because she “isn’t the one they wanted”. Stranger things have happened.

Did you guys know there were a couple of fist fights on the floor of the Senate? I think it was the Senate. It was a while back.

May avoid the bickering except it may erupt over someone labeled as one or the other really a candy coated label.

rgr769

That is an absurd idea, and unworkable as a rule for an appellate court. What Progs fail to understand is that judges are not supposed to make policy determinations. They are supposed to apply established law to the facts of specific cases.

Deckie

I hear now Biden says he is open to “rotating justices” on the SCOTUS.

Face palm.

Where does he think they are going to “rotate” to? I’ll bet he would like to rotate Judge Sullivan to the Supremes, since he is such a reliable swamp rat.
