Would’ve needed a super majority which means 60 fucking votes and of course that’s something to definitely consider but there were so many goddamn fires. What the hell? Almost every single institution had to be rebuilt after the mess they made the last time adding $8 trillion to the debt by the way.
Exactly. Which fire to put out first? Biden inherited NO PLAN for vaccine distribution, and saving American lives was top priority. I get it. Then he appoints Garland - a Federalist Society poster boy - to DRAG HIS FEET over 1/6. The game clock was run down, and it was intentional.
It's such a clusterfuck. Let's just hold each other and drink margaritas.
All in! Hold the triple sec, top shelf tequila Leaving soon…
And here I thought we'd be destroyed by an asteroid, not an orange shitgibbon.
We are preparing…..
We will be destroyed by Complacency, by thinking those before us were the only ones who had to fight for our freedom, equality & human rights. It is an ongoing process, we are a young country, there are always predators lurking, looking to steal the American dream for all. Always
That’s right just like everything else in this world. That’s why it’s important to know our history. As we see there are countries that are still struggling for their independence and yet because wealth has influence our country has become overrun by greed and apathy.
🤣🤣 shitgibbon makes me howl every time
Had to define shitgibbon, so now that I have learned something today. I love it.😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I'm for that
I'm afraid it goes back to the Obama Administration. With a year left in his term he did not have the will to make an appointment during the congressional recess. Good guys finish last.
He had the will, the sleazeball Republicans in the Senate wouldn’t move on it and effectively blocked any appointments by Obama in his final year. I will blame RBG for not stepping aside when she should have. By holding on as long as she did, she made certain that she was replaced by a scumbag.
I couldn't agree more. But Biden could have expanded the court to 13: one for every district. He wouldn't consider it.
It had been introduced more then once but Sinema mad a Manchin refused to dispose of the filibuster remember?
Not without Congress
I blame the sleazeball Republicans and all the dumbasses who didn't vote for Hillary.
Well, I don’t think that RBG would’ve done it out of malice. I think she saw what was coming down the pike and wanted to be sure that her vote was counted because she knew. Even Scalia was reasonable
Congress cannot block a recess appointment, but as you point out they can and would have blocked an apointment if GBG stepped down.
Maybe you should blame the majority of white voters who vote Rethuglikkkan every election since the 1960s including voting for the felon racist rapist pedophile in 2016, 2020 AND 2024 when the majority of Black voters and voters of color did NOT.
McConnell told him it would "look partisan", changed the rules, and Obama just acquiesced. There was no fight.
Right, like everything else he expected what they broke Dems would fix… Talk about resign
Now if you really want to talk smack let’s go back to the preview of allowing #KochNetwork and the GOP collaborating….October Surprise 1979 This is Russia and all our enemies wet dreams come true to have useful idiots in power that are nothing more then paid whores
things going on all at once wars still in Iraq and Afghanistan, our country faced an actual depression, and like each party should consider that if they had set the precedent then if they lost majority which they did in the House retaliation…there was a boundary no longer exists even Biden tried
SCOTUS ruled once that he didn't have authority to make recess appointments. You don't think they would rule against this? I'm getting pretty tired of the amnesia people have regarding past actions of Democrats.
I guess we will never know. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
you know better than that, it was obvious even during the Obama administration.
I'm afraid it goes back to the majority of white who vote Rethuglikkkan every election since the 1960s and voted for the felon racist rapist pedophile in 2016, 2020 AND 2024.
We must always be building, there will always be tricksters tearing down the ideals we were founded on Ideals that had yet to be equally distributed; only in that equality for all can we be maintained & move into the future Inequality is weakness, is failure, is destruction Build for strength, truth
I'm all in. I go where angels fear to tread, so...who's the set person?
It seems like the last 2 to 3 decades the average American seems to have forgotten or maybe never learned basic civics. We have guard rails, all of this should’ve been prevented. But now we must reinforce the pillars. And we need judges to base their decisions on laws, not their damn faith.
The C-Street Prayer breakfast crowd brought in the fundy Catholics & Evangelical nutjobs to the SCOTUS; a LONG game since FDR's admin. It focuses on ushering in a theocracy. Then we got the 7 Mountains Mandate crowd infiltrating. That's how it all happened. Dems got complacent at midterms, as well.
Agreed. Both parties failed us, but one certainly profited from the malaise they are causing.
Oh, I had to learn civics all on my own. It's not offered. It's the whitewashed US History, now, and it does not cover what we need to know. We had a "Gov't" class in high school, but it was the Dick and Jane stuff from Schoolhouse Rock (which was more informative!), taught by the Football coach.
