I think democrats should add 4 more justices, and went trump adds six more in 2024 it'll be fun to watch them cry about it.

Merrick Garland was nominated on March 16th. You trying to say Congress was in recess for the rest of the year?

from your favorite news source:

House Democrats started this month hoping, and preparing, to gain seats in the election. Instead, their once-robust majority in the House has dwindled, and Democrats are on track to begin next year with the slimmest majority in decades.
would have looked much better if our elections were legitimate and fraud-free...

This evokes in my mind an image of two children on a playground, arguing about how "my Representative could beat up your Representative."

Why would she attack an FBI operative?

Then they rammed one through a week before the election.

You can't operate in bad faith and not expect consequences.

Welcome to politics. Does anyone actually think for a second that if the tables were turned that the dems would not have done the exact same thing? Wake up!

good2go 04-15-2021 03:03 PM

I think we should all just admit what has happened and hereafter let the people decide directly by holding elections for all future SCOTUS positions. Non-partisanship is so overrated.

That would be a terrible idea, given the present definition of "the people" in this context.

Frankly, I'm not even a big fan of The People directly electing Congrefs.

Yeah actually, I do. Because there's precedent and they've never done it in the past.

Just saw where Pelosi said she won't advance the bill to add more SC justices. Wonder what's behind that?

As for her fighting with heels, I'm surprised she would wear something like that at her age. One little slip and there goes the broken bones. Of course with her alleged alcohol intake she is probably in a relaxed state all the time.

God speed tonight, joe. If it wasn't for systematic racism, 13yo gang bangers would be alive today. You must pay the price.

Yeah, needless to say the .380 is by my side as I'm typing this.

I'm really hoping it doesn't go south. I have a new UPS scheduled to be delivered at Sears on Monday.

0.380? You need something with a bit more stopping power (dare I say, balls?).

DNMakinson 04-15-2021 08:30 PM

Some of the newer .380 is sufficient. HPR HyperClean XTP 90 grain JHP is my choice.

chiefmg 04-15-2021 09:56 PM

I want someone to know they've been hit. A 158 grain .357 dumdum does the trick. You need to make sure the reptilian hind-brain gets the message.

Joe Perez 04-15-2021 10:04 PM

As a city dweller, "fits neatly into the front pocket without imprinting" outweighs all other concerns when it comes to selecting a caliber.

Besides that, the principal threat here is hood rats and opportunistic rioters who scatter the instant they hear a "pew." This isn't the suburbs / rural outskirts where a determined attacker is a serious possibility.

These are entities which still embrace the fundamental precepts of journalism.
