Trump's SCOTUS

[jediuser598]

The right is suddenly the bastion of liberty and virtue? Remind me which President said that we should "take away guns first, worry about due process second."

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

One of my favorite dumbass conspiracies from the left - the 72 y/o fast-food loving president will be in power FOREVER.

The surety of the Reaper's scythe does tend to take the sting out of autocracy.
It's like that new 'Man in the High Castle' promo where they are sewing Nazi flags into a peace sign. Shouldn't bothered with that messy warin', and let father time take care of the problem.

+1 The stage is crystallizing and is being honed to a razor's edge. The middle is rapidly disappearing much to the chagrin of those who would rather be in the middle. "You are either with us or against us" has finally come loudly knocking. At this point I feel that those left in the middle are just denialists.

I completely disagree. This SCOTUS approval process is a joke. Captain R nominates a complete ass; the very definition of swamp creature. The left had plenty of legit reasons to challenge his nomination, but since they are also the swamp, they can't call attention to it, lest they call attention to their own swampy-stink. Now we have a situation where beer & farts are the topic of the nomination. Fuck Feinstein and her bullshit.

Now we're stuck with this circus clown for 30-40 years because both teams fucked up.

Why couldn't he nominate another Gorsuch?

You disagree with what? Your response seems to agree with me with the exception of your last sentence. I ain't team R, per se. I am team I don't agree with any of them and this shit needs to stop. Kavanaugh escapes the noose because of some bullshit "I can't remember when or where or how but he touched me in a bad place" political ploy. No middle ground to be had either your are for that or you aren't. Sitting on the sidelines pretending to be against both is just being a partisan to the current momentum, which isn't looking too bright.

You disagree with what?

I disagree that the middle is disappearing. I'm not pretending anything. I loathe partisans. They are destroying the country. Neither party cares about my main issues with government, which are:

Patriot Act
FISA courts
Civil forfeiture
MIC
War on drugs
Audit the fed
Government overreach
Government spending

Which team represents me?

[Haumana]

Those are battles. I am talking about war, and there is no middle in the war. Your previous post was trying to justify the war and now you want to get into specific battles. 6 of those 7 listed will never be represented if the current witch hunt mentality is allowed to stand. That's my whole point, I agree with all 7 but one side is forcing me into a choice and it ain't the red team at this point in time. Your moral high ground of "which team" is a loser proposition. You only get two choices, same as everyone else in our situation, which side do you choose?

I'll either stay home or vote 3rd party. It's been my policy since 2010. I do not consent to these criminals. Any of them. You guys duke it out; I want no part of this "war." These wedge issues are nothing more than jingly keys, with 537 people fueling the fire to keep us from focusing on the really important things. Fuck them all.

There is no middle and there never was. It's a masturbatory tactic by people who want attention.

. Your previous post was trying to justify the war and now you want to get into specific battles.

Please quote the part where I justified the war.

The attention I want is for my key issues, that I've posted twice, now. Feel free to tell me which team represents my interests, with an explanation of what that team is doing about those issues.

That's my whole point. I was #metoo right with you but when someone can get accused of something that happened in an unspecified place at an unspecified time without any corroborating evidence or witnesses it makes me have to choose. This isn't the only thing just the one that hit the tipping point in the scales. You continue to stay home, your consent isn't required to toss you into a meat grinder and extinguish everything you hold dear. They can do that despite your protestations. Keep pretending that it doesn't involve you yet live under the umbrella that says otherwise. What I am pointing at is that the umbrella, like a cyclone's eye is getting tighter and tighter, are you certain that you are among those who will maintain shelter from the storm? Me? not so much even though I am in a pretty good situation right now.
