Watch The Orangesicle laud a justice and recommend him for the Supreme Court only to discover he’s been dead for the last three years.
“While I’m glad to see Democrats concede that there won’t be a Democrat in the White House next year…”
I saw that press release also. It was the same one in which Obama promised to buy me a new car. I think I'll go check the driveway.
I’m just not understanding what McConnell thinks he is gaining here. Is his personal hatred of President Obama that profound because I see no win either for the party or McConnell politically in this.
Yes
“While I’m glad to see Democrats concede that there won’t be a Democrat in the White House next year, Republicans continue to believe that the American people should have a voice in this decision and the next president should make the nomination,” Stewart said. "Despite the White House coordinating with liberal groups and millions of dollars in special-interest ads, no Republican has moved from their principled position."
"While I’m glad to see Democrats concede that there won’t be a Democrat in the White House next year… "

“… no Republican has moved from their principled position.”
This person is just visiting from the alternate universe. President Mitt sends his regards! Continue the grand unskewing!
Yes, that is why he made Obama a “one-term president”.
Such a disgusting old creep…
“And more than anything, he is old (for a modern Supreme Court appointment) and will be up for replacement in probably 10 years instead of 20 or 30.”
Who’s a Death Panel now?
Well, one consolation is that he has his friend RejecTed Cruz to stand by his side in this dead-end, undignified and totally unconstitutional fight. The two of them can go down in history as the most reviled Republicans in the Senate. Enjoy McTurtle…your legacy of obstruction and overall do-nothingism is secure.
I can’t wait till we take back the Senate this November!
Maybe this will get across to the Democrats that the current Republicans are simply not interested in governing. They are just interested in getting their way and thus should never be dealt with or even spoken to until some new ones interested in governing get elected.
There may be dems out there that have not realized this yet. They might need it explained again, very slowly and simply.
We really need to work on that
Not about gaining anything. It’s about preserving the pretext that there’s some underlying principle other than raw, rancid, boundary-crashing, nihilistic partisanship behind the blockage. The pretext is so transparent as to be indecent, but the rules by which the MSM operates lest some angry old white person call them “biased” require them to treat the pretext as the functional equivalent of a truthful statement. Creating and preserving such pretexts has been a critical part of McConnell’s ability to get away with his destruction of the unwritten rules and boundaries that were laboriously devised over decades and centuries to make our inherently unworkable separation of powers system semi-functional. He’s never going to let one go.
Of course not. If someone was governing, then government would work…and that would destroy their #1 talking point.
Say it with me now! Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell.
Sing it with me three time, then go get the damn vote out!
Who ever gets the presidency has to claim in their inauguration speech “The president cannot do it alone. In our country it’s the congress who makes laws. If laws aren’t passed you have only the Congress to blame.”
Then name names. We want names.
“in order to avoid a situation where Trump looses and Hillary Clinton gets to pick the SCOTUS nominee.”
Oh God no, not “looses” for “loses”— on TPM. Anything but that!
Just demonstrating the willingness to say absolutely anything no matter how ridiculous sounding, if required by pure partisanship. When his lazyboy scandal (or whatever) breaks, he’s going to need his pals to come through in kind.
“While I’m glad to see Democrats concede that there won’t be a Democrat in the White House next year”
Man…is there just no way for these people not to act and talk like snide little douchenozzles at every instance? Seriously. He answer a hypothetical by crowing as if it’s an admission? WTF planet are this turds from?
“as President Clinton nominates someone who is radically more leftist and 10-15 years younger, and we are in no position to stop it.”
Indeed. You should all get used to me using the word “pegging” to describe your next 4 years, Teatrolls.
