    Give it a name, that way you don't have to substantively reply. I get it, you don't have a clue.

    Its a lifetime nomination that will last long beyond Bidens 8 years if he was to win and win again.

    Maybe we should just wait until after that?

    Why does that matter?
    Trump is guaranteed to lose in November and the senate is guaranteed to turn blue -- why would the GOP NOT seat someone before the end of the year?

    Just like the Democrats would, if the positions were reversed.

    "He?" Trump? Trump can say whatever he wants. Maxine Waters, too. I don't put any credence in what either one of them says about who is "really black" (whatever that means).

    If you have any points, they're well hidden in unclear references.

    Working class Americans take note....The Republicans have your back. Democrats wanted to hijack the "China" relief measure by tacking on a trillion of your tax dollars unrelated, to bail out poorly run Democrat States. Do you think the other states should pay for governors and mayors that intentionally let Marxist's burn down businesses and towns? President Trump and the Senate aren't biting. Can't reward bad behavior.

    Except he said his position was justified because Biden allegedly threatened to do the same thing near the end of GHW Bush's term. Was GHW Bush a lame duck president? No. Which shows that Mitch was just making up a bullshit rule on the fly.

    And your links to back up your claim it's "ridiculous" to see Trump as giving Russia influence in the Middle East are what?
    You speak for whom?

    It figures.
    Why would you do either one?
    Public policy is done for "entertainment value?" Really?

    How has his dealings against Russia given them more influence in the world than the Obama/Biden administration? Where did the latter curtail it?

    After four years of bitching, whining, screaming at the sky, dozens of attempts to oust, proven manufactured drama, pussyhhat marches, and fake news, let's completely reverse the roles and just ask the usual suspects if they were in charge,
    WHAT WOULD NANCY AND CHUCKIE DO?

    Working class take note Democrats passed a relief bill in MAY. Republican Senate waited until the last second to even pick up a pen to use YOU as leverage to get CORPORATIONS LIABILITY PROTECTIONS.... but when it comes time to do something for them like nominate a Justice it take the Republicans hours to do something....

    And the first round of stimulus Republicans did pass only went to the mega corporations not mom and pop businesses.. Wonder where Walmarts of the world get their product...... oh ya China... That tough on china line is BS

    The democrats already tried to submit a nominee and were told they could not within an election year. A hypothetical doesn't need to be presented because an actual precedence exists.

    Let's get real and call it the Obama Administration.

    We're doing nothing about Belarus, nothing important about continuing Russian presence in the Ukraine, and we conceded influence in Syria.

    The country cannot continue to be governed with a policy of the end justifies the means. It is destroying our country and it is dividing our people. We should be demanding better from our leaders not helping them with excuses.

    I agree, the Senate will flip and then Trump will be impeached and removed but his SCJ will be in place so this is a short term loss but a long term win for the republicans.

    The democrats should realize they are not going to stop this train from wrecking and start developing a blueprint on areas they can change once they control Congress.

    Most Chicago homicide victims over the past decade are Black, police data show
    Ya right! White Supremacist, Extreme right!

    Sorry but it's all :blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah::blahblah:

    When you look at the entire picture of real EXTREMIST in this country doing the terrorizing and mass murdering!
