I really hope this clown isn’t Jewish but regardless the fact that any Jews side with the party that welcomes white supremacists is truly mind-boggling. I’ve had these conversations with my own family members who like Trump and they just gloss over it and say BUT JARRREEEEEED! He can’t hate his own grandkids!
I think there is a long-standing tradition/norm of home state senators being able to block judicial nominees. I thought it got blown up a long time ago, but apparently not.
Not a lawbro, but Bolton’s book passed the vetting process for classified information. The only thing he was missing was the release letter. The release letter was held up to push publication until after the election. Prediction—Bolton profits from book and wins any case against him. Also, it’s needless to point out that Trump is lying about classified info being released.
No, he was going on and on about our lord and savior jesus christ and quoting bible verses. And he was legitimately not well in the head. Oh, and he’s running for Congress.
You know it kills Trump that the people he’s cared about impressing his whole life all hate him and the only thing standing between him and a jail cell is America’s unwashed, ignorant masses. He wouldn’t piss on his own voters if they were on fire.
At the risk of tilting you even harder about the shortcomings of lol Democrats, the process was to let home state senators weigh in on the process, but not outright kill nominations. The only reason that happened is because Pat Leahy is a dumbfuck who re-instituted the harshest blue slip policy possible that was last (and previously only) used by Biden’s buddy Jim Eastland. So he artificially stopped Obama from filling a number of vacancies because he’s a moron.
If the Ds manage to bink the election and the senate, I can’t wait for the last thing the Rs do to be to reinstate the judicial filibuster and watch the Dems go merrily along fucking themselves for another 4 years until President Tom Cotton takes over and they go back to ramming people through again.
