“those on the other side are evil and need to be destroyed”

and . . .

To paraphrase the ever elegant and classy Baby Jane Hudson,

“But they ahh Blanche, they ahh evil and need to be destroyed”

The street riots are bothering the White educated suburban women who are not supporting Trump - this needs to be a campaign focus.

Rules are rules and if the system worked as written so far, why is it NOW subject to debate and challenges?

Obongo probably had Scalia killed. Replacing RBG with a true conservative begins to avenge that

“Democrats seem to want it both ways. “

Nothing new. They always have. DemocRats are the biggest hypocrites in the world.

Democrats only have two people to blame - Harry Reid for killing the filibuster & RGB for not retiring during Obama's term.

I always wonder what the life / attitudes were like during 1860 - same unrest / division ? Will APR 2021 be like APR 1861 ?

The pols are run by Deep State central command.

They are paid actors.

DSCC says “complain”, they complain or their campaigns don’t get funded.

Bread and Circuses.

RBG made a bad choice by not letting Obama replace her.

Definitely not a god. A shriveled up old lady who became quite ugly as she aged. Thats why she wore those neck things to distract from looking at her face. This 8 day thing has become a farce. Probably hoping to use,Yom Kippur to delay again, but Trump didn’t fall for it.

The Supreme Court question before us has the potential to take things even further. For many decades, the Senate required a 60-vote supermajority to confirm judges.


The 60 vote supermajority was what was needed to end debate on the issue, and proceed to a vote. There was never a requirement that they needed 60 votes to confirm the justice to the Supreme Court.

As I recall, Clarence Thomas was confirmed 52 to 48, and Alito by 58 to 42. In each case, the Democrats didn’t keep an indefinite filibuster going, but allowed the final vote to take place.

FBI director, Christopher Wray, is on record in sworn testimony saying: “Antifa is not a group or an organization.
It’s a movement or an ideology; folks who subscribe or identify” with antifa do not operate at a national level,
but organize “regionally into small groups or nodes.”

REALITY CHECK: the mob taking over the streets has done something never seen before in history:
<><> allied itself with “the ruling class” against the middle class.
<><> “the ruling class” seeks absolute power, unhindered by our representative democracy.
<><> the mob wants their spoils – the emotional gratification that comes from wreaking havoc,
<><> acquiring the power of inflicting fear over others,
<><> the practical benefits of looting.

The Democrats will plan out the 40+ day delay and senator blackmail scheme.
