Some of them must have had a terrible childhood to be so angry. Sometimes, I even feel sorry for them for they know not what they do. We Libs are like that, very kind and compassionate.

Which, like I said, I find equally problematic.

The judicial branch is our last line of defense against the immoral and self-serving Repugs currently in the Congress and White House now. They can easily put in young and very conservative judges who can stay on for a very long long time and change our country for the worse....


Trump may get most federal judicial appointments since 1950s - Salon.com
1. So....is it 50+? or over 100+? Decide.

2. If it's the first that you've "heard of this", who's fault is this?

3. To Quote our former Socialist in Chief.....




Politics is a contact sport. Pucker up buttercup.

Do you truly not want to have a discussion because your lines are getting so old - Hillary this, Obama that or election loss this or that. Geesh! Wise up!

We have a real problem on our hands here. You can't seriously tell me that you would be OK with this if Trump was in the White the the Democratic majority in Congress blocked him and refuse to vote any judges in?
You mean like now?

The opposing party (almost) always obstructs. No one is surprised. Is this your first Rodeo?

Here's a "discussion". Politically motivated Judges have obstructed TWO executive orders. There are Somalians & other refugees who are NOT being vetted coming into our country who may or may not try to knock down buildings and planes. THIS is why it's important to place judges who you agree with.

You may care whether or not (a judge rules on) a Transgender being able to take a leak in the ladies room.....I care more about radical islamic terrorists coming into our country during this critical time period.

As I said the other day, when some feminist goes around blindly defending Islam; Nothing would make me happier than seeing them whipped on the public street and forced to wear a burka or hijab. They deserve it.

Everyone is happy when the bad guy in the movie "gets what he deserves". Most liberals are literally the bad guy. They are just too delusional to see it.


As C.S. Lewis wrote...

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."
Great quote!

The bolded fits today's SJW and many progessives like a well made glove.

Well maybe you didn't notice that vacancies are at a historic level of 124, some go back a decade. Sure both parties delay appointments but for those of you that claim there wasn't any obstruction the last 8 years should be a dose of reality. Some people think this is fine because it hurts democrats, that is childish. This hurts our entire legal system while they play politics.


Some of you probably didn't fully think this out, you're assuming the democrats won't retaliate. I am not condoning that either because it is bad for our country.

Working Americans are not part of the big money donors that Trump serve. Its painfully obvious that if you are not a part of the special interests and the 400 families that fund most of the political campaigns in America, you are not well served by Trump. Huge increases in free stuff for the military, massive tax breaks for the donor class, gifts to big pharma, pushing 24 million Americans off of health care, many of them rural Trump supporters, cuts in programs that feed the elderly and the destitute. This isnt an agenda for ordinary Americans.
