Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

LOL, "cries foul".
Cry more, bitch. No one cares, hypocrite.
Surprised he could lift his head high enough to make remarks with no spine, or did they drop the mics down to worm level?
McConnel accusing someone of partisan tactics???
This tortoise had 2 fugue-state mini strokes on camera and still is clinging to power. I hate all of these assholes so much
Where's Mario when we need him?
Here's hoping they wont die in the next 4 jears. The fact RBG clung on too long is one of the reasons the shit got that bad
That loser isn't dead yet?
Fucking die already.
I remember going to a cabin with some friends and playing one of those icebreaker games with a deck of cards full of “thought-provoking” questions. I got something like “what would you do with an infinite supply of money?”
My response? I would positively haunt Mitch McConnell until the day he died. I would hire any and every person needed to completely saturate that goblin’s life with fuckery. He would lose all faith in everything, all sense of safety. I would build teams, departments, and institutions dedicated to knowing his every move and subverting his will at Every. God. Damned. Turn.
His eyeglasses would disappear daily. Every haircut he got would fuck his shit up. Every pizza he ordered would be a box of spiders. There wouldn’t be a bite of food crossing his lips that didn’t have pee in it, or worse. He would shit himself in public because every restroom within a mile would be occupied, blockaded, or on fire. I would never injure him irreparably or kill him. In fact, I would ensure he was as healthy as possible. I would want to prevent him from escaping for as long as possible. I would be the ruin of his joy.
So yeah, that broke the ice.
Huh. I would buy the Red Sox and move them to New York, then I'd buy the Yankees and move them to Boston.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Should have included Thomas.
I mean this was actually many years ago, so at this point the list would be like twenty people, Thomas DEFINITELY included.
I like your style!
How you doin’? 😘
Would you want to oversee cases during the Trump administration? He might off you for ruling incorrectly and his people will definitely threaten your family the whole trial.
Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin countered, citing McConnell’s 2016 decision to block Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court nomination as an example of GOP gamesmanship.
Yeah, basically just point this out any time McConnell says anything and he loses the argument
Alternatively you can bring up the time he filibustered his own bill that the democrats supported.
Interesting. Bitch MacDonald is groveling at Trump's feet.
Turtle man has no bar to lower.
Is he even still all there at this point? Sounds more like his team talking than him.
He's fine as long as they remember to reboot him regularly.
Boo hoo Darth tortoise
accusing them of partisan tactics to block Republican judicial appointments.
The fucking audacity of this guy!
Quite rich coming from "No supreme court justice nominations in an election year" Mitch.
Lol ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING??? Now Mitch is trying to whine about ETHICS???
Obama just called and wants his fucking SCOTUS nom back, you horrible piece of shit.
Republicans are children in old flabby bodies
Sadly, they reproduce.
Lol ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING???
Sadly, he's not. And you can absolutely believe there's going to be some kind of legal or legislative action intended to force them out so Trump can replace them. Given the success rate of conservative judicial maneuvers, I wouldn't even be surprised if it worked.
"you would never nominate a respectable (lmao) moderate like Garland!"
"Ok, I nominate Garland."
"YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO THAT! NO WE CAN'T ACCEPT HIM, IT'S TOO CLOSE TO AN ELECTION!"
Slightly dramatic recreation of actual events. Fuck the dishonest GOP bullshit.
(That was almost a full year before the 2016 election... RGB dies the month before the 2020 election and Mitch McDemonturtle pushes her replacement through.)
Not even the month before, literally during. Voting had already started.
Still 42 open seats that Biden is giving trump, but McTurtle over here losing his shit over two that aren't empty yet...
Republicans are fucking terrible, but at least their politicians fight.
Meanwhile we just went with Schumer again despite him doing a complete shit job at it.
Biden still has time.
And I hope he proves me wrong and there isn't a single vacancy when he hands the keys over...
But I'm certainly not expecting it.
Shit job? Schumer got McConnell to help him by offering two circuit court vacancies that no longer exist.
As a result, Biden is on track to confirm more judges than Trump did.
Womp womp.
Sorry, I'm not sorry- judges probably
Fuck Moscow Mitch.
