I just think, what would the Dems do if they were in power? They’d tromp the opposition into the dirt. Fine. We tromp them first.

See the possible problem? If the frail and failing Ruth Bader Ginsburg (85) or the nearly equally ancient Stephen Breyer (80) were to leave the court in late 2019 or 2020, a Trump nominee would be stalled out in the Senate until after the 2020 election. And it’s the same if a conservative justice were to suddenly die as befell Antonin Scalia.

I fear that the GOP still has not learned to play the game of politics as ruthlessly as the Democrats do. Although they’re getting better, as a collective group, the Republicans still do not yet fully understand the nature of the leftist enemy they face. Pity.

German Press Reveals Saudi Spook Saga Behind Khashoggi Disappearance
FTA:
Germany’s leading right-of-center daily Die Welt this morning reveals that Jamal Khashoggi was not a journalist, but a high-level operative for the Saudi intelligence service, an intimate of Osama bin Laden, and the nephew of the shadiest of all Arab arms dealers, the infamous Adnan Khashoggi. John Bradley reported last week in the Spectator that Khashoggi, who allegedly met a grisly end in a Saudi consulate in Istanbul, was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist organization that among other things wants to replace the Saudi monarchy with a modern Islamist totalitarian state.
