Obama could have stopped this before he left,but his arrogance and thinking that Hillary would win fucked us. He also could have done other executive moves also before leaving
Remember cats saying it was cool cause Hillary will win and nominate Obama to the Supreme Court?

Trump could pull off his face and it be Putin underneath it and they'll NEVER remove a SC Justice.

They would have too it’s in the constitution lol

But of course it would have to be a dem controlled senate to asked for the resignation

No he has no party affiliation and who finessed the GOP in the WH.

Politically ruthless he isn’t and he’s not using the kids as leverage he’s blatantly stealing children putting them in foster care that’s owned and run by Betsy Devos

That's child's play (pun intended) with the small amount of money that she makes off of that in Michigan. He's literally said unless immigration laws are changed and I get my wall, I'm going to separate families. That was the play. And they're not doing. That's not speculation. That's literally what the playbook devised by Miller was.

Naw man. There is no convention for it. They'll never do it. Removing a SC Justice pretty much invalidates the core principle of it (lifetime nomination). For the sake of preserving the institutions, they'll them there. The DEMS don't have the stomach for that type of move.

Lol you guys are still worrying about preserving institutions.

The other side is running through tearing shit up and you’re out here pretending you're flash catching the vases before they’re smashed to the floor.

The nominee was picked by an illegitimate president, the provision is in article 2..

But your right Dems would never do that.. it’s clear Gorsch is not even qualified to be a scotus

If this situation was reversed, the GOP would do it. The DEMS aren't with that kind of fight.

How are you going to remove him? If we are on the precipice of another Jim Crow era, what are you prepared to do about it?

OK I'm trying to understand why this is such an issue. The majority of this judges votes favored republicans so its not like there's going to be any changes. A republican judge will replace a republican judge. We got lucky this time.



So Kennedy talked shit to/about Trump , then he turned around and supported the ban and then he announced his retirement all in the span of 24 hours.

Who gave him an offer he couldn't refuse?

They gerrymandered the shit of those districts! Damn! That has never happened before winning the popular vote by millions and still losing the electoral college. My goodness! I hate seeing this graphic again. Just to be reminded we got f*cked!

The point is @gene cisco @Soul On Ice @ballscout1 you three are reasonable people unlike @Megatron X. I’m sure your constant negative narrative against the democrats and silence on the republicans swayed people not to vote. Others like you three doing the same thing across the nation is part of why we have Trump. Small part but still added to it.

We are now fucked because of the Supreme Court. Bias ruling on the cake maker and travel ban. Politically motivated. It’s ok to have Christian rights but not Muslim. The union ruling today hurts us all. This is just the start....

Does it even matter know if democrats win anything? Supreme Court has final say on everything.


Nobody who ever read anything I have typed would not vote and they would not be fooled by internet memes and misinformation..

Like you obviously didn't understand the SCOTUS ruling in regards to the cake maker.

It had nothing to do with giving permission for bias it had everything to do with the state's handling of the complaint and disregarding the cake makers religious freedom.

So it can't be used by someone being biased as precedent.

Supreme court does not have the final say and won't hear laws that are well thought out

So once again it is imperative that at least one chamber of congress be flipped.

and after all the excuses made why Hillary lost the midterm will show what kind of resolve the democratic base has No Russians, no voter id, no bot None of that shit is going to fly.

if democrats don't flip the congress it is on them

and honestly NY last night gave me hope because the way the establishment democrats have been doing the right wings job by attacking progressives has me worried.

oh and thats funny to me because y'all was in here talking about how fucked up the progressives were and they are the reason, Hillary lost but yall ain't said shit about how the establishment been sabotaging their own party

Shit it really don't take much to see there's a machine behind Trump.

the common media narrative is that he is flying blind and just doing shit.

that is clearly not the case. and most people do not see that.

Shit is really wild man. I don't see how this won't lead to a sea change in American life.

Study the early years of Adolf Hitler's reign of "Hell-in-Germany & the world". It started off just like these first 18 months of Trump.
Prosperous elite Germans had no complaints about Hitler; they were doing well, fuck everybody else; this is the current attitude of elite Cac America under Trump.

Under Hitler's early years before WW2 even started ;People in mental institutions were sterilized, unions were abolished, they had the 1936 Olympic games, the autobhan was being built. Ferdinand Porsche (Volkswagen) Wilhelm Kissel (Mercedes Benz) and 99% of the German elite (Krupp's, BASF, Siemens, Bayer, etc.) was down with Hitler; they were rolling in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ money.
1.jpeg

Ferdinand Porsche showing Hitler his Volkswagen Beetle invention 1935

Top America business are currently rolling in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ due to Trump's huge tax cut in corporate income tax & accelerated depreciation and weakening of the few private sector unions that are left. All they care about is "shareholder value" that is, how much money they are making as the major shareholders. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Netflix, the entire pharmaceutical complex of companies, the financial industry (Wall St.) etc.etc. They don't give a shit if abortion becomes illegal. They don't give a shit that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was just declared null & void by a republiklan judge; despite the fact that it recovered ( clawed back) over $10,000,000,000 back from financial firms that conned & ripped off unsuspecting consumers. Some of the leadership of many of these firms claim they are against Trump and are registered as Democrats; but it's a false cover, they are neo-liberals whose main concern is how much money they have. They don't give a shit about 90% of all american citizens. Oh they will make noise about supporting gay rights and are against Trump's fascist immigration policies and who is allowed into the U.S. , but their number One concern is their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ wallet; people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Mike Bloomberg, Zuckerburg, etc. The RepubliKlan fascists are getting their agenda funded $900,000,000 by the Koch brother, Sheldon Adelson et al.



The country all of us have grown up in for the past 50 years is being quickly destroyed by the Trump fascist camarilla; and the overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens are fast asleep watching "the bachelorette" or playing video games. To be sure based on all polls 65% of Americans loathe the Trump gang with great antipathy but too few of the so-called "resistance" are aware of the granular details of how Trump is gutting U.S. traditions and normalcy in the same manner one guts and cleans a fish before cooking it. The so-called resistance" is too passive as Trump stacks the Federal judiciary with unqualified reich-wing judges, removes clean air & water laws, reverses laws regarding putting prisoners in for-profit private prisons, and enacts hundreds of new laws and reversals of established laws which are all designed to DESTROY American citizens "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" as defined in the Declaration of Independence which initiated the founding of the United States of America.

The coup de gras is the current massive tax cut for the .01% that Trump got passed with RepubliKlan votes only in the congress despite the the fact that only 30% of Americans support the hideous legislation. Unless an abrupt halt occurs in the 2018 midterm elections the U.S.A. is being turned into a neo-facist country controlled by a few thousand people. A PORNOCRACY
dictionary.jpg


pornocracy /pɔːˈnɒkrəsɪ/
noun

1.Government or Domination of Government by Whores


As former President of the U.S. Jimmy Carter stated in 2016, — he said that the United States is:


"Just An Oligarchy With Unlimited Political Bribery"

The shit sandwich tax bill that the RepubliKlans rammed through the US Senate is the direct result of slave-bitch republiklan politicos being $$$$$$$$$$$ bribed with Millions$$$$$$ from some of the richest people in America. Look at the chart below. What you see is legalized political bribery; legal due to the SCOTUS citizens united ruling.

Republi_Klan_Tax_Bill_Bribery_2017.jpg


Trump like Hitler in his early years of Terror is laying the groundwork for a fascist coup d'etat. His rock steady 35% hardcore racist faux-religious white-supremacist base is with Drumpf, ready to accept Fascism because they foolishly believe it won't affect them. Hitler's "good germans" also thought that what Hitler was doing to those "other people" would not effect them.

Fuck Obama

Hillary would have turned this country around and given us the change we needed.

If Hillary was president, none of this shit would be happening.

NFL players would be free to kneel and she would kneel with them locking arms
I don’t understand your if I don’t have a perfect candidate I’m staying home mentality.

No one, NO ONE on here thought Hillary would be a good president. She would have been a place holder. Every move Trump has done has been negative impact on normal everyday people. Hillary would have been 50%.....YES that’s a better option.

I for one wouldn’t have had to pick up a second job for healthcare. Regressed back 10 years. I enjoy my family and out the window.

The 2nd job I have is union....figures.

Their policies are bad for the non rich. Shit, I hope your right and I’m wrong. In 2 years if your posting “told you all bitches it wouldn’t be bad” I’ll be happy and admit I’m wrong.

Yeah, without looking at the numbers Gore won the popular vote by thousands. I am not trying to lookup the numbers. If you think about it it’s atrocious that this was allowed to happen. How in the hell you lose the popular vote by “millions”, as I said, and still win an election. That has never happened in the history of this country and the forefathers of this country didn’t intend for that to happen. I am not going to rehash the shit we were talking about on this board back 2016 and 2017 concerning the election. Gerrymandering be damn!

It is disappointing to me that we are the only group pointing fingers at each other for not putting full support for Hillary. White women actually voted for Trump in larger numbers but they aren't fighting each other over it.
Can I get a list of what LIKELY rulings the SC will deliver that DIRECTLY effects BLACK FOLKS? So far I'm only seeing voting rights. The majority of the rulings seem to to more negatively effect women and immigrants.

I'm not sure how much impact the bots and shit had but it shouldn't work again but people are stupid..

They might have stepped up their game though. ..I know they have incriminating shit on people and we know how far Putin goes killing adversaries...

But if dems don't take congress and some state houses it's on them......no excuses

There is one thing about Trump and his SCOTUS pick that nobody is talking about.

Trump is a media whore and a Star Fucker.

He is a Celibrity and loves the attention it brings. Whether it’s popular or negative.

Whoever Trump picks to replace Justice Kennedy, there is a good chance it ain’t gonna be “Mr. Boring”.

His pick is gonna most likely be somebody everybody knows, who is a semi-Celibrity, who is loud and flamboyant and who has no clue about the US Constitution.

His pick will be a nutjob like him.

Then Sen. McConnel and the rest of the GOP Senate have to scratch their heads and make the decision if they gonna put whatever idiot he picks on the bench.

This is gonna be interesting.

Elections have consequences. I expect the same attitudes that got us here to be here for midterms as well as the election in 2020

And this is the essence of it all....folks are still fighting Bernie vs Hillary.....at the end of the day the party can t focus enough to get out of the boiling pot.
