If Trump fills this seat and Biden wins with the Dems taking the Senate they're going to get rid of the filibuster and expand the court.

It will be scorched earth politics from hear on out
I'm not sure there would be another option , one side will have said, quite clearly,that there is no such thing as too low , no rule they won't break .

Taking the high road won't get anything done in that climate.
 


I do quite like this. The seat itself is spilled milk, but I like the explanation. There are also other factors worth mentioning, such as liberals' preoccupation with continuity or their desire to engage in hero worship. I'm not saying that RBG factored into her decision the nerdy cult of personality that she developed, but it was nevertheless silly. She wasn't the most progressive or the most influential jurist on the liberal court. In fact, of the four liberal justices, you could easily make the argument that she was the least important for progressive jurisprudence.
 
MAGA vs BLM tonight, eh?


I smell a Rocky 4 speech coming on.

Look up Edward Carter, African American who fought for China against Japan, fought IN the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil war against Fascists, and fought in WW2 for the US and was given the Medal of Honor (way after his death of course.)

Here's a fun On this Day though.

I'm currently reading about Hriso Botev though and his essay Ridiculous Weep written in 1871 about the French Communes. Here's a line that gave me a hearty chuckle, especially when remembering about how the US government fought Socialism in Latin America by having the skulls of children bashed in with hammers. Martyrs indeed.

You want to be proud to be an American, read up about the Silent Holocaust in Guatemala and our role in it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_Guatemala#:~:text=The death squads are responsible,interrogation, torture, and execution.

This is of course nothing new, look up the civilian cost of the invasion of Iraq. American nonchalance of our exported terror and death is pretty easy to explain as well. From John Tirman, author of “The Deaths of Others: The Fate of Civilians in America’s Wars”

Ooooookay, that's enough out of you.

Someone wasn't taught enough Patriotic Education as a youngster.

God I love people like you. You hold back the Democrats and the left more than any right wing person could dream of doing themselves.

To be fair, a highly educated lawyer like Trotsky believes it is okay to bash another person in the face with a skateboard without being charged with attempted murder, so there is that. "Not much harder than a punch," I believe he said. Truth be told, we aren't sending our best :(

Still, I don't know if that is worse than a Canadian wannabe redneck who sees Trump as some kind of God, either.

Am I the redneck in this scenario? That would be cool
 
I like watching Dern but I can’t stand her at the same time. On the other hand Markos must have a negative fight IQ.
 
I keep forgetting that we can't watch UFC on TV anymore. What a stupid move.
I’m watching ufc tonight on my 55 inch Samsung 4K smart tv. Truth be told I want to get rid of it and buy a 75 or 80 inch
