Words fail me. (otherwise I would be arrested)

[teeman8r]

trump should listen to the dems and pack the court...

why not give them what they want. 6 more supreme court justices.

i would do it.

thanks democrats.

[faithhopecharity]

how sickening and ignorant and anytime she wants TX to send in 10 senators it can be arranged

[Remole]

The EXACT same agenda is advanced by columnist David Corn today. Does the DEM establishment still use FAX machines?

And Corn was actually Reid’s guest on the show a bit later!

If this does not motivate Conservatives to vote nothing will.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Donald Trump should go ahead and pack it now.

To pack the Court you need to control the Presidency, the House and the Senate.

There is no question that the democrats will pack the Court the next time they control all three. Then the next time the Republicans control all three they will repack the Court. Eventually, there will be more Supreme Court Justices than there are congresscritters.

I had a suspicion that Joy Reid ...

Hmmm, I never think about Joy Reid unless I see something posted, or fat-finger the remote and she's on the mis-selected channel.

[BuffaloJack]

Screw DC and Puerto Rico. Make Taiwan a state and sit back and watch the Chicoms fume.

[Hambone 1934]

Exactly...You win 2nd term..Pack the court with conservatives...

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Very understandable, but I follow AM Joy for NewsBusters [governs=Finkelstein], so do find myself wondering what she’ll be up to.

She clearly seems to want to hog the limelight. Even after she left the show as host, she’s made a number of return appearances as a guest, and today snatched the host chair back to cover the RBG new.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

…she forgot “give cats the right to vote”

Have everyone stand on one side of the island?

If Guam can tip over, I’m sure PR can too...

[LIConFem]

Might work. I was thinking of something a little more deliberate, though. A nice thermonuke of the appropriate yield, air burst at the optimal altitude a la Bikini Atoll should do the trick.

[ronnie raygun]

Racist biotch!

I grew up during the "Cold War" - the time of "nuclear proliferation" and "MAD" (mutually assured destruction). The USSR and USA were frantically building more and more, larger and larger weapons to threaten each other with.

We stood on the brink of mass extinction if all of those weapons were ever unleashed. Not only total devastation, but total devastation MANY TIMES OVER. Finally it was agreed that we had 'way too many warheads hooked to a hair trigger that was bound to go off sooner or later.

No, I'm not nuts or on the wrong thread - these court-packing libs got me thinking about that time. If Biden should raise the number of judges and claim the judiciary for his party (assuming he could), why couldn't the next POTUS do the same? If he adds six, then the next guy adds ten more, from HIS party, and on and on until we are ALL judges!

I say no, thanks. I don't have the time, and I would look silly in a floor-length robe. I think nine is sufficient.

“Give Puerto Rico back to Spain.”

Spain doesn’t want it back. Why should Spain want a welfare s***hole full of resentful ingrates?

[Kid Shelleen]

Give Puerto Rico its independence. Remember the FALN terrorists Clinton pardoned?

[dfwgator]

Here’s the problem. If you announce PR will be independent, everyone will leave the island and move to the US to keep their US Citizenship, the only ones left behind will be those without the means to do so.

Why would people of color want to ruled by white supremacists in a nation founded on slavery and racism? </sarc
