and another damn thing that the orange piece of shit did......GOT THREE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES APPROVED.

[a kennedy]

THREE!!!!! 🤬 🤬 🤬 I keep just trying get over the last damn six years……four of the orange piece of shit, and two, going on three years of the gawd damn Covid. I’m just not going to make it. I’m not.

[dchill]

1. Actually, he got three shithouse rats on the Supreme Court.

A pretty good trick.

[bamagal62]

4. Yep and now

We’re screwed.

[BluesRunTheGame]

2. blackout bret, crummy parrot, and doorshut n/t

[JohnSJ]

3. and those self-identified progressives who refused NOT to vote for Hillary in 2016 by either not

voting, or voting for Jill Stein, and encouraging others to do likewise, bear a large part of the responsibility for that

In every critical swing states Hillary lost by less than 1%. In those critical swing states, Jill Stein received 1% of the vote.

It did make a difference

[bamagal62]

5. Has anyone ever followed

The money on Jill Stein?

[sheshe2]

15. They basically said the courts don't matter. nt

[JohnSJ]

16. Yes they did, and singled out the SC also as not mattering

[FloridaBlues]

6. Trumps legacy is here to stay for awhile unfortunately.

[FlyingPiggy]

7. We gave them one of them. Obama and every democrat should

Have just laid down the law and appointed Merrick.

[FBaggins]

12. How do you imagine that law being laid down?

The constitution doesn’t vest “advice and consent” with “the president and any senators in his party”

[tritsofme]

13. This is a dangerous myth. There is nothing President Obama could have done.

Suggestions otherwise are just misinformation.

[In It to Win It]

14. Or the Dem Senate minority at the time

[FlyingPiggy]

17. So you're saying that we could have done nothing while the sen maj is rep?

One of the things dems do well is not do anything. Or just brings a knife to a gunfight.

[onenote]

18. I think we're saying: "Constitution"

Not sure what you're saying, although it sounds a lot like "Presidents should get to lay down the law" notwithstanding the Constitution.

[tritsofme]

20. Yes, 54 seats is more than 46 seats.

Democrats only had 46. How are you at math?

[FlyingPiggy]

24. We have more seats than Republicans but they seem to still dictate much

Of the terms of engagement. We are often more worried about what it will look like and do nothing. Not even to protest. Just accept everything as a defeat bc we don’t have the numbers. We’re pretty good at that. It may be futile, but at least try and pretend to fight. We never put pressure on them to do the right thing when they are in the majority. But, I get it. This is the Democratic party and we just need to shut up and rah rah rah and do more of nothing. All is good….

[tritsofme]

27. I'm not sure if your memory is not so great, or if you just weren't paying attention at the time?

But President Obama and Senate Democrats were consistently loud in demanding a vote for Garland.

Trying to make anyone the villain in that story besides Mitch McConnell is blatantly dishonest.

[Polybius]

23. What could we have done?

The Senate was majority Republican in 2016.

[FlyingPiggy]

25. I just want to see more outrage from us. More fire. Even if it is futile

Instead of accepting defeat at first sign of anything.

[Hekate]

8. That accomplishment was Mitch McConnell more than anyone else. McConnell must be SO proud.nt

[NowISeetheLight]

9. McConnell is the Evil One

Trump is an incompetent idiot and egomaniac but McConnell is like the man behind the curtain. He completely politicized the court with the Garland episode. All he cares about is power.

[littlemissmartypants]

11. The two aren't mutually exclusive. They're both psychopaths/sociopaths. nt

[patphil]

10. He made the nominations, but McConnell got them all approved.

I'm sure Trump was given the names he should nominate. But, ultimately, a lot of conservative Republicans worked to get this job done.
I'm not absolving him, but it should be remembered that the Trump Supreme Court, which will be with us for decades, was a collaborative effort.

And that's a terrifying thought!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. I will never forgive Jill Stein, Susan Sarandon and their followers

Control of the SCOTUS and the future of Roe was on the ballot in 2016

[DFW]

21. TFG merely nominated who he was told to nominate. That's the extent of what he did

He would have nominated three of his kids without proper guidance

Seeing as how the Republican-dominated Senate would have confirmed a cucumber, a radish and a garden slug, as long as a Republican president nominated them, it was not a matter of getting them confirmed. The fact that Opus Dei had a big say in who was nominated mattered far more than whether or not Trump had any input, which I am quite confident he did not.

[a kennedy]

22. I know, it's just on his damn watch he got three justices in. 🤬 🤬 🤬

[ForgedCrank]

26. Dang man,

can we just stop paying attention to that ass?
If we never spoke of him again I would be a happy camper.
