White House Takes Victory Lap With To-Be Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson | Talking Points Memo

I appreciate your optimism, but Fatter Mussolini still appears to own the GOP from top to bottom.

I still remember March 2016, when Fox News flipped on a dime to be all-in on Fat Boy’s candidacy. My strong suspicion is that Rupert saw the inevitable nomination and decided he couldn’t be on the losing side of it. Unless and until Rupert decides that Trump is not going to win the 2024 primary, Fat Donnie Two Impeachments owns the GOP.

Never mind that. It’s more childish than that…

Lindsay has no chance because he has a girls name.

If there’s anything more transparent than “I can’t say why I’m voting against this well qualified nominee, so I’ll blame the process,” I’d love to know what it is. And that’s before even considering the hypocrisy displayed.

Graham, Hawley, Cruz, Paul, Lee, et al. aren’t playing to racists much, are they?

Well your dang President has me in tears! Watching live on CNN. He’s talking about women appreciating Judge Jackson and the Judge’s parents.

I would really like to understand why the assumption is that there is no way to counter republicans’ refusal to hold hearings and a vote on every nominee. Announce a timetable of 30 days to start hearings and 45 days to hold a vote. If the senate abdicates it’s constitutional duty, seat the nominee. Let the senate then file suit and explain their rationale.

That’s in the same room as your unicorn.

Let’s just say there are many farm instruments in various states of decay that may make the proposal more attractive.

Empathy

President Biden has so much dignity. Watching him relate to the kids. He gets the whole crowd applauding and positively beaming with joy and pride. Oh, Republicans will counter, you should hear people cheer Donald Trump at a rally.

There’s one critical difference.

Trump has to say what he thinks they want to hear, and that means he’ll sometimes guess wrong. (Ukraine) President Biden only has to be true to himself, and speak from the heart.

Empathy is more powerful than manipulation.

Jackson Says She Met With 97 Sitting Senators

Since we’ve seen a photo of her with McConnell, I’m guessing the three were Paul, Cruz and Hawley. Could also be Cotton or Blackburn, maybe Lindsey.

On further thought, it could have been any of the others not named Collins, Murkowski or Romney. They’re all disrespectful assholes.

Justice Jackson deserves every possible accolade and then some. Our nation will be so much better with her presence on the Supreme Court. One day she’ll be writing majority opinions that respect the constitutional rights of our common citizens and not the exclusive ‘rights’ of our corporate and obscenely wealthy super-citizens.

Congratulations, Justice Jackson.

Yep. Cheering out of genuine joy and humanity is as far from cheering out of hate as it gets. Saying what’s in your heart is effortless. Lying because you don’t want to reveal that your heart is a blackened turd takes its toll. When the orange maggot had the intro for the stepford wife justice there was no actual joy present, because it wasn’t possible with so many clenched jaws.

One of the main reasons MAGAts (and apparently a whole lot of Russians) want others to suffer and be murdered is that they see others expressing joy, but they cannot ever let themselves experience it.

I never understood why Obama did not simply appoint Garland after a decent interval, declaring a recess appointment based on the fact that the judiciary committee was clearly obviously in de facto recess.

Let’s not be too harsh – SOME of the MAGAts can multi-task.
