Kavanaugh Confirmed...

[Mojouw]

I'm fairly sure it didn't matter who trump picked the democrats are hell bent on opposing anything and everything by any means necessary to push their agenda. People are pissed because they're tired of all the bullshit coming from that side of the isle. imo

Both sides do it but the left has cornered the market on it since the election. Calling half the country deplorable woke a sleeping giant that gave us all trump.

Again, not all of that is wrong. But if the Dems were just going to go off the deep end no matter what, how do you explain Justice Gorsuch? His nomination and confirmation went off without a hitch - or at least as smoothly as the toxic environment in American politics can allow for.

I mean if there was ever a Supreme court seat to fight over, that one was it. And Gorsuch is deeply opposed to what I figure you mean when you talk about the Dems agenda. But they didn't fly off the handle...

Just seems there is a smoke and fire issue here that people are really really going out of their way to deny.

None of it matters anyways, dude got confirmed. Just frustrating that there are no facts anymore in American politics on either side. As a result, no one serves the people.

The difference is Gorsuch was replacing a conservative Justice, while Kavanaugh was replacing a moderate one. Gorsuch didn't tip the balance.

Remember, the left went into full "repel boarders" mode before Trump had even selected a nominee. "We will do everything in our power to stop (insert nominee here)". That didn't happen with Gorsuch. Plus, it's midterm season now.

Kinda like when McConnell obstructed a nominee for how long? And bragged about how it's his proudest moment in life?

These dudes are all self serving frauds beholden to the donor class.

That was then - this is now

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) — who blocked President Barack Obama’s 2016 nominee to the Supreme Court for nearly a year amid widespread Democratic objections — signaled Monday that he would help fill a high-court vacancy if one emerges when President Trump is up for re*election in 2020.

Speaking at a news conference in Louisville, McConnell said his decision to block Obama’s nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, was based on a tradition that opposition parties in control of the Senate do not confirm Supreme Court nominees during presidential election years. He claimed the precedent only applies when different parties control the Senate and the White House.

Difference being they didn't turn it into a kangaroo court with allegations of sexual assault and crazed protesters. They merely refused to take up the issue.

According to the President the "crazed protesters" were just contractors

Serious question - do you think the President believes this or is just tweeting something he knows not to be true to energize the base?

Honestly, I don't care. But I *did* notice that your phrasing precludes the possibility of him being correct.

If there is any proof or for that matter anything else that indicates George Soros paid for last week feel free to provide a link - but I recognize that impermissibly places a burden of proof regarding the veracity of the President’s teeets which should be presumed truthful given his track record - sorry I asked the question - will not ask anything else
