Last time I checked The U.S. Sun was a place for bigfoot and UFO sightings, not "real news."

This woman is likely to be Trump's nominee to take Ginsburg's place:

I've been hearing for a couple of years that the Republicans wanted the deciding vote against Roe v. Wade to be a woman.

Oh jesus...

Trump is now claiming that RBG's last public statement, dictated to her granddaughter, Was in fact the words of Pelosi, Schiff or Schumer

Ginsburg died on Friday, from pancreatic cancer at the age of 87. NPR reported that she had dictated a statement to her granddaughter.

“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” it said.

To which Trump said:

“I don’t know that she said that, or was that written out by Adam Schiff or Pelosi?

“I would be more inclined to the second, OK – you know, that came out of the wind. That sounds so beautiful, but that sounds like a Schumer deal, or maybe Pelosi or for Shifty Schiff. So that came out of the wind, let’s say.

Just when you think you've reached the depths of how low Trump can go, he goes and surprises you still.
A dying woman ffs

It looks like the Democrats have raised over $160 million dollars since her death. In another couple of days it might be over $200 million. Its an impressive load of cash, but its still probably not enough to offset losing a Supreme Court seat. In any case, its still a little obscene to spend that much money, when we have a 1.7 Trillion dollar backlog of infrastructure projects, not to mention how many people that could feed, clothe, and shelter. For that kind of money we could put a good dent in some of the issues that people fight over in the first place.

Could $200 million put a dent in many of America's problems? The federal government spends more than that every 30 minutes and it doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.

I think the operative phrase there is "the federal government."

Apparently the Democrats have nobody but themselves to blame for Trump about to appoint a second conservative leaning judge to the Supreme Court - in 2013 Harry Reid changed the rules from a 60 vote approval to a simple majority, know then as the ‘nuclear option.

Mitch McConnell warned at the time:

"You’ll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think."

[Serge Forward]

Fuck off.

 

[bimble]

He’s saying it out loud already, he wants his judge in there for when he refuses to accept the election result and it goes to to SC to decide.

The motto of the Republican Party used to be "character matters." If a lawmaker is motivated more by petty revenge than by doing the right thing, they have no business in office, especially when it has the probability of effecting the health, welfare, and basic rights of millions. The man is fucking sick in the head if that's his motivation and so is anyone who supports him.

End of.

If the shoe was on the other foot, I’d say the Dems would almost certainly do the same and their supporters would clap them on.

Part of the reason why the republicans have managed to fuck them so hard these past several years is their boneheaded insistence on playing by the rules under the misguided belief that, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the republicans will continue to act in good faith and not shank them at every turn. So no, your assertion is wrong. Try again.

if marty1 is going to act all innocent of the ramifications of an action like this he should be banned

"This thing that's happening under the Republicans, that's what the Dems want. It'll happen under the Dems!!!"

Do you have any idea just how fucking thick you (and your pal Donald) sound when you come out with this shit?

Except the historical record shows that, time and again, they have done precisely the opposite and played fair. Try again, dumbass.

One of the hallmarks of people who lack character is that they assume everyone else does too.

I don't think he does, or he wouldn't drip this stuff on us, like pus from a syphilitic dog's cock.
