We’ll probably get stuck with a Muslim transgender terrorist. A few designated “conservative” Senators will be allowed to “put up a fight” for show as long as the nominee eventually gets the confirmation. Then, all the Senators will meet up back at their country club and pat each other on the back for fooling us once again.

Dude, I socialize. I run into people a hundred times and i say I know the. In truth they know my name and I know theirs, That’s the extent of it.

Yes, he’s run into Sharpton more often than the interviewer. Big whoop.

I already mentioned that Trump used Sharpton to get deals with Don King.

Please tell us what is evil about that.

We’re all ears.

Go ahead. You’ve got the floor.

That racist Cruz would nominate Janice Rogers Brown in a heartbeat. Regardless of the black racial heritage, she is one of the great legal minds in the country.

Have you ever heard of Google?

There was an article in the NY Times. It’s the first hit.

Anyone could have checked it out. So, do you still support a good friend of a poverty pimp?

I did. Wanna talk still?

Jesse Jackson "has known Mr. Trump for three decades and who once used office space on Wall Street donated to him by Mr. Trump"

It’s not my job to go look up sources for everything said on the forum, just because you’re too brain dead to realize it.

If someone seats something, I want a reference. Did you provide one.

No.

You went out to find one, then came back to pop off without it.

Sheer genius.

“I knew him in another life,” said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the civil rights activist, who has known Mr. Trump for three decades and who once used office space on Wall Street donated to him by Mr. Trump. “I have never seen him in this light before.”

This is the terribly damming evidence?

1 when 2 what were the specifics of the space provided 3 what were the circumstances Was there a special event that Trump was prevailed upon to set Jackson up for a short period of time? Did someone ask who had done Trump a favor and he felt obligated? You don't know. You just toss this crap out there hoping others won't nail your ass to the wall over it. Good luck with that.

Dude if he's known him for three decades he's kept their friendship up, even if it was only a casual friendship. But remember that people are known by the friends they choose. He chose to be friends for decades with Jesse Jackson and with Al Sharpton. Back in 2014 Trump tweeted that Al Sharpton "loves me because I get him."

Donald Trump: ' Al Sharpton Loves Me Because I Get Him'

Why is Cruz a racist?

I get such a kick out of you folks trying to destroy people based on nothing burgers.

Would you like fries or a hot apple pie with that?

Obama needs to pick a conservative Catholic of Italian ancestry to replace Scalia. It's now the Italian seat on the court.

The first Chief Justice, John Jay, was virulently anti-Catholic (he was of Huguenot ancestry). The first Catholic Chief Justice was Roger Taney, who may have been the first Catholic on the Court, period--and he was appointed by Andrew Jackson (of Protestant Scots-Irish ancestry). I think the next Catholic Chief Justice was Edward White from Louisiana (1910-1921).

JFK got to pick two justices for the Supreme Court—Byron White, who was Episcopalian, and Arthur Goldberg, who was Jewish. But Kennedy did pick a Catholic for Attorney General.

he’ll never appoint a conservative.

And I Was very very proud to have an American of Italian Ancestry.

But all I care about is getting another conservative on the court.

Antonin Scalia was REAL. That can’t be taken away. I can’t point to him when I talk to the nephews and nieces and their friends and say forget Gotti, there’s a REAL hero to look up to that is more popular, and for the right reasons.

Alito is still there. I thought he was Asian with than name at first :)

What’s an Episcopalian? Is that a branch of Protestants?

I'm having a hard time figuring out why shakedown-jessie is still relevant.

jesse jackson is one of the biggest racist pos we've ever seen. If what he was fighting for ever happened he'd be out of a job.. which is why he always causes problems and never seeks to solve them....
...
....
unless you have some money for his shakedown..then the problem mysteriously goes away..

jesse Jackson..what a piece of crap..

Yes, Alito is there. I don't think ethnicity matters, just quality and faithfulness to the Constitution and the rule of law. In present-day terms, that means a conservative.

The only thing certain at this point is whoever it is that Obama nominates, it will be someone we don't like.

Well, they call themselves the Protestant Episcopal Church, so I guess they are Protestants.
