The left only cares about the present. NOTHING matters except getting their way. That is one of the reasons why they have no issue appointing people to SCOTUS that don't care at all about following the constitution.

You mean sort of like politicians on the right who offered Bill Clinton the same things Obamacare ended up with in the 90's, but balked at them twenty years later?

Still trying to pawn off Obamacare on Republicans when not one single Republican voted for it. Hilarious. I'll give you leftists credit. You are skilled at repeating talking points and propaganda over and over again per the marching orders from the DNC. This exercise probably makes you actually believe the propaganda you're repeating in the end, even if it is totally false.

Obviously both parties say similar things, but clearly Biden was referring to the time between the end of summer recess (Sept 30) and the elections (Nov 20), so it does not quite compare to the current situation where the summer has not even started yet. Also, the nomination Biden was referring to, was confirmed with 90-9 votes only days after the summer recess ended.

Ah yes, "ThinkProgress" is the source providing the full, unbiased story. Meanwhile, the Washington Post, AP and the New York Times are shilling for the conservatives.


Anytime anyone quotes Think Progress as the authority on any story, you know that person is a far, far, far left wing extremist.

Can't wait for the transcript of some Republican saying something way back in the late 80's. Then the conservatives can pour over transcripts from the late 70's and we'll all be just a hootin and a-hollerin' over what someone said so long ago.


Get after it you political hacks!

Well since you spent so much time researching you should have at least on example where the senate refused to vote on a Supreme Court Nominee for a year before that nominee was even known.

I'm quoting Biden. Think progress only put the full video up. Are you you saying it's a fake? Who care's the source, if it's his actual words?

(And I agree both parties are equally full of BS on this issue. Just saying that in this case, Biden's words are being cherry-picked. He is the source, not ThinkProgress....)
