Grassley just lied

[malaise]

about that block against Obama's nominee Garland. He said they followed Democratic Precedent. Oh My!

[GentryDixon]

1. Geeze. I read he just "died".

[BannonsLiver]

2. I did the same thing!

I'd guess like me, you were also disappointed

[gopiscrap]

3. lying fucker the Dems never did that

have you ever noticed how much Grassley looks like the Grinch in "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas"?

[Doreen]

5. Now that you say it you have a good point.

[gopiscrap]

7. I thought that the first time I ever saw that ugly mug of his

I don't I have ever seen that fucker smile unless he was knifing some one in the back

[Doreen]

9. Just like Beelzebub.

[slumcamper]

12. Oh, he smiles. Don't think he doesn't.

Every two-bit conservative-owned Iowa TV news station bends over backwards and kisses their own ass to cover him. Chief among their "news" reports of this traitorous bastard are those depicting him, amid small-town patriotic fanfare, grinning as he kisses the ass of some disgruntled veteran who is finally receiving his medals after half a century or more. He's a PIG, and Iowa's media is fond of slathering him with lipstick.

11. Great point

[Doreen]

4. They are trying to hard to discredit the Democrats.

They are failing at it and it is biting them in the ass.

6. where?

[unblock]

8. they've been calling this the "biden rule", twisting biden's words from a rather different context:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/mar/17/context-biden-rule-supreme-court-nominations/

We wanted to use our In Context feature to lay out what Biden said back then outside of McConnell’s sound bite. Readers can determine if it’s relevant now.

Biden's floor speech was on June 25, 1992, more than three months later in the election cycle than it is now.

There was no Supreme Court vacancy to fill.

There was no nominee to consider.

The Senate never took a vote to adopt a rule to delay consideration of a nominee until after the election.

Nonetheless, Biden took to the floor in a speech addressing the Senate president to urge delay if a vacancy did appear. But he didn't argue for a delay until the next president began his term, as McConnell is doing. He said the nomination process should be put off until after the election, which was on Nov. 3, 1992.

10. Grassley cited a some bogus rule that was never went into action. nt

[Cosmocat]

13. he weasel worded

didn't say the actually did it, that they went the floor and spoke about it.

A bullshit move, but it was wolf blitzer, so he knew he would get away with it.
