Surprise: Democrats Oppose Every Single Supreme Court Candidate on Trump's List(?!)

It's been less than 24-hours since Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy met with President Trump at the White House to declare his retirement.

After the announcement hit the news wires, President Trump said he would be choosing Kennedy's replacement from a list of 25-individuals. That list was released shortly after the 2016 presidential election by his transition team.

Before President Trump has declared a new nominee, Democrats are arguing every person being considered is already disqualified. They're demanding Trump "ditch the list" and come up with candidates that meet their leftist standards of constitutional revision.

WHAT! None on the list meet approval of the dimocrats? How shocking is that? I guess unless they're hard over free abortions, anti 2nd, no voter ID, pro-union, green energy freak they ain't worthy. Yawn. Pop some more corn.

“I guess unless they’re hard over free abortions, anti 2nd, no voter ID, pro-union, green energy freak they ain’t worthy.”

I have a suspicion that if Trump nominated a judge who was acceptable to the Left, the wouldn’t accept him. The #Resistance would demand that they reject anyone put forward by Trump. Fortunately, Harry Reed smoothed Trump’s path. I recall an article at the time Reed did away with the filibuster that it might come back to haunt the Dems. But, at the time we were going to have only Democrats in office for the foreseeable future. I had an uncle who used to say, “what goes around comes around.” Now, I understand what he meant.

No surprise at all.

For the last 100+ years the Lying Left has marched basically unopposed towards its goal of Global Totalitarian Government (AKA Total Global Destruction). They are used to getting their own way and the idiotic GOP has let them and helped them.

The Lying Left is not used to being opposed by those who want to MAGA with the same will and determination that the Left has had to destroy America. And the Lying Left has used the stupid GOP’s worrisome, hand-wringing about their political future and has played them like a drum.

But now, they can’t manipulate Trump because Trump is not worried about his political future. Trump genuinely only cares about America’s future. A true Godsend.

You can add Susan Collins to the list that are telling the president how to pick the next Justice.

Some folks are just so self-deceived in their worship of Molech, the god behind abortion and sacrifice of children.

DNR with the dems this year and the next 6!

So, push your seat back, sit back and enjoy your favorite beverage, snack or popcorn as the Deep State is melting down each day.

Take time to enjoy your Schadenfreude as the Deep State rats and their trolls and rats panic. Enjoy your flight to reality with your pilot President Trump and his co pilot Vice President Pence. Savor each hour and each day as the Deep State Rats implode.

Don’t listen to the Never Trump Trolls saying, “ Nothing will happen!” That is what they are paid to say and post. They are panicking as that income will be going away!

Chuck the Schmuck is out there promoting The Biden Rule.

When Obama’s guy wasn’t moved forward in the Senate in 2016, the Democrats said there was no such thing as The Biden Rule.

Of course Chuck the Schmuck is saying The Biden Rule should be implemented because this is an Election Year.

He neglects to mention that it isn’t a Presidential Election Year with a Lame Duck POTUS in Office which was Biden’s point in the first place.
