    You might have a point if I supported the riots (I do not) or your chosen politicians were not continually lying (they are) — but you don’t.

    Also what goals do you believe I have? Be specific.

    1) sure do
    2) oh so you were talking about your other country?
    3) you seem to support the dems now, hence why i said it. The dems have certainly earned the title party of no...they came up with the no to judical picks in an election year, then flipped, then flipped again...they are the party of no to chinese virus relief....

    Democrats have just asked that their be consistency.
    Republicans utilized this with Garland to even floor a vote and have now backtracked.
    As to the COVID relief, Republicans cannot even get a bill out of committee — Democrats have passed one and have said they are willing to cut it in half if the Republicans come to the table — which they have refused to do.

    You cannot name a single piece of partisan policy that I have supported, strange after saying that I supported partisan policy...

    1) haha no they haven't...they said in 92 and 07 that there shouldn't be a move on Justices in an election year, then flip flopped in 2016, and now flip flopped again
    2) well yeah, the Dems keep blocking the bills, 60 votes is still required in the GOP Senate, to end debate..and now Nancy has blocked a vote on a bipartisan bill in the House....it was a 1.5 trillion dollar bill at that....ie half of the 3 trillion....the President has come out in support of that bill

    Ahh yes, you have that charming contradiction of opposing rights while claiming to protect liberty.

    As I said, IMO my country needs another conservative judge on the SC.

    This...is...a...good...thing.

    People really need to quit whining about the electoral college, it's silly and childish.

    People need to quit whining about the power of a senate majority, it's silly and childish.

    Nominate candidates that don't suck and get better ideas that don't suck, then democrats wont have to complain so much when they lose elections because the voters won't reject those candidates that suck and ideas that suck.

    They will still burn stuff, unfortunately.

    In 2016, Obama's nominee who didn't even get a hearing from the Senate was not a liberal. Merrick Garland is not a politically motivated justice and never has been. Who's to say that Biden wouldn't nominate him again if he were to win the election? And if a judge with a history of left-leaning decisions were to be appointed, would that not keep the SCOTUS closer to even in ideologies, rather than stacked with conservatives?

    It isn't posturing. This is an extremely important issue, and the hypocrisy of Republicans is on full public display.

    None of those things are part of the Democratic platform, and none of those things are remotely likely to happen here. Unless you can establish a direct correlation between a Dem Party standard or policy, your claim of a "commie agenda" will remain what it is: far right wing hyperbolic rhetoric.

    So you don't have a problem with Trump nominating her just like Obama in his LAST term right?

    Trump can nominate the Cookie Monster for all I care. That isn't the point.

    I have a big problem with the Senate under McConnell doing exactly what they said was the wrong thing to do four years ago. I have a huge problem with hypocrisy.

    Did you mean "Amy Coney Barrett?" Sure, why not? We can put another religious type on the Court. I have an idea: how about a Justice who doesn't filter everything through a belief in an Imaginary Friend?

    Please explain what is wrong with posters on the right aligning with those who reject hypocrisy.

    That's the most partisan B.S. I have seen.
