President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

How long did it take Merrick Garland to get a vote?

 

Do you know what “random” means?

 

LOL. One of the Dems favorite #NeverTrumpers agrees the chart really is an unhelpful crazy quilt.

 

Guess which one got nominated — and blocked — first.

 

Don't just cherry pick the parts you like, YF.

Extensive analysis re the Chait article, and worth reading the thread to get all of Tom's points:

And there is more. Click through to the tweet thread.

 

I don’t need to guess. I know. I don’t want to hear any fucking whining about this guy’s appointment getting delayed from the right.

 

Yeah. The libertarian party ran a guy that only understand libertarianism applied to marijuana.

But we increasing live in a world where a central government is outdated, right? Yelp will tell me far more about the cleanliness of a restaurant than the dhec guy that comes around once a month. SpaceX is leaps ahead of NASA. Local charities and food banks are more streamlined than welfare. The world is more peaceful and environmentally cleaner than ever. My high school kids get a first class education on their iPod without the million dollar schools and unnecessary administrators.

The world doesn't know it yet but we just don't need the same level of government that we have.

 

Yeah no.

 

Lot of logical leaps in there, but I’ll stick to NASA, which doesn’t deserve the shit it gets. SpaceX launched a car into nothing, having it go roughly toward Mars. And that’s great. It’s truly awesome, and the Falcon Heavy seems awesome and I hope SpaceX continued great success.

NASA landed a rover the size of an SUV on Mars and had been driving it around for a decade.

Garland, who is the Chief Justice of the D.C. Court of Appeals that Kavanaugh was plucked from, was not allowed so much as a hearing, let alone a vote.

 

Anyway, apparently in his 90s. But I'd like to see some documentation.

 

Tell us more about this sovernty stuff, please.
Better hurry, though. Ten minutes to Wapner.
