    Please don't talk about the Gorsuch pick.  He's sided with the liberals on several key issues.

  • Trump has been an epic fail as President.  He's clearly a Jєωιѕн sock puppet.

    Like Nero fiddled while the country burned, Trump tweets but does nothing about the terrorists taking over the country, destroying our historical monuments, committing violence against the citizens he's supposed to be protecting.  He allowed Gates and Fauci to drag him around by the nose and therefore presided over damage to the U.S. economy that might take a decade to undo (if it ever can be undone).  He's done nothing but talk about restricting immigration (it's as high as it ever was and there's no actual wall to speak of, much less did Mexico pay for it).  He admittedly lied about promising to go after Hillary ("lock her up" was a scam, as he later said the Clintons are "good people").  He's done absolutely nothing to "drain the swamp" but has in fact expanded the swamp by the traitors who brought into his cabinet and administration.  He's a serial adulterer and an ego-driven baby who embarrasses the United States with his puerile tweets which have the tone of 8-year-olds on a playground ("I know you are, but what am I?")

    I regret having voted for him.

    Here's a replacement one for you. Less talked about, so less controversial. : )

  • Article: President Trump and Senate Majority Leader McConnell continue to transform the Federal Judiciary:

    https://www.axios.com/trump-mcconnell-judge-confirmations-senate-8b5087fd-5fd1-4846-8a1c-cadf888bf18b.html

    After three years in office, President Trump and the Republican-held Senate have installed a total of 187 [Dec. 2019] judges to the federal bench, with Trump nominees now making up one in four U.S. circuit court judges, according to an analysis by the Washington Post.

    Why it matters: Trump's transformation of the federal judiciary will ensure that it maintains a conservative tilt for decades, likely affecting future progressive legislation and priorities no matter the outcome of next November’s election.

    By the numbers: Trump has so far appointed two Supreme Court justices and 50 judges on the 13 U.S. circuit courts. By comparison, Obama appointed two Supreme Court justices and 55 circuit judges during the entirety of his two terms.

    Trump has also flipped three circuit courts to majority GOP-appointed judges, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York.

    Between the lines: The president and Senate Republicans selected younger conservatives for lifetime appointments to ensure that their impact is felt years after the Trump administration, according to the Washington Post.

    Of note: While the House voted to impeach the president last week, the Senate confirmed an additional 13 district court judges.

    What's next: Trump and Senate Republicans have only one circuit court vacancy left to fill this year. More could open up next year, and there will certainly be vacancies in Trump's second term if he wins in November.

    There's also a strong chance of openings on the Supreme Court in the next presidential term. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, is 86 years old, while Justice Stephen Breyer, another Clinton pick, is 81.

    There's plenty to criticize about Trump, but I'm surprised by this one.
    Did you see this from last year?

    What are you seeing that's showing immigration is not down during this presidency?

    Playing devil's advocate -
    1) We are a republic, not a monarchy or dictatorship.  The states have ultimate authority/responsibility over these crimes.  People are seeing that their Dem governors, mayors etc aren't doing anything.  This isn't Trump's fault but is also exposing the commies.
    2) For Trump to "step in", he would have to send in the military using the ιnѕυrrєcтισn Act.  This would be a historical step, and he has to be DARN sure it's warranted, or the media/left will jump all over this and call him a "dictator".
    3) With the election so close, this whole thing is a big "optics game".  If Trump makes a bad move, he'll lose the election.

    Not playing devil's advocate, because there's no need.  Your above statement is just baseless.
    1) The economy has been on the fritz since before 2008.  The businesses that have failed because of 2-3 bad months of businesses were always the ones in bad shape anyways (Sears, JC Penny, Hertz), or in industries that have low profit margins and are subject to "bad luck" (restaurants, construction, niche/boutique shops, service jobs like salons, etc).
    .
    2) The covid thing came out of nowhere; you can't expect any Administration to just ignore that fake crisis when you have 3 things going against you:  a) most "conservatives" still believe the media lies, b) the "system of lies" pushed by big business (i.e. Fortune 500 companies, sports leagues) and democrats/neo-cons is hard to overcome and most americans don't believe these people are conspirators.  c) healthcare industry and deep-state CDC fudged numbers and propped up the crisis.
    .
    If Trump had said the crisis was fake, or didn't enact the "recommendations" he'd have been labelled an idiot and all the fake deaths would've been blamed on him.  He's surrounded by lies that most people still believe.  How else was he supposed to handle this?  Again, this is an "optics war", a "PR fight".

    Totally untrue.  SCOTUS just ruled that deportations of asylum seekers can happen immediately after capture, with no due process required.  Before that, asylum seekers were locked up, which sent the message to illegals that there's no more free pass.  There have been 8+ major immigration court cases regarding immigration in the last 3 years, most of which Trump has won, except for DACA, but even that was just delayed because all Trump has to do is re-file DACA ending papers.

    Jury's still out on this.  It's being investigated but you can't bring justice when the system is still full of pro-Clinton people.

    False.  1,000s of top level people have "resigned" in all areas - congress (remember Paul Ryan?  When does the speaker of the house resign and quit congress?  He was setup for a 20 year-politician-for-life job.  And he suddenly quits?  Something else forced him out), cabinet members, etc.  Bolton is an example of a guy brought in, they watched him, exposed him, and then fired him.  Trump's done this multiple times.  Then Barr just fired the NY lawyer who was holding up cases involving Weiner and pedo networks (which eventually connects back to Clintons).  Lots going on in NY.

    I agree with you, but a win is a win.  If you're trying to win a war, the luxury of sophistication and class is sometimes thrown out the window.  If dirty politics get's the job done, then so be it.

    Barr explained this pretty well yesterday. He said that the local governments should be PREVENTING, but are largely doing nothing. The FEDERAL government can only follow up afterward and charge people with crimes. So far, roughly 500 indictments have been issued relating to riots since George Floyd's death. Charges range from arson, destruction of federal property, looting, etc.
    .
    In order to do prevention, military would have to be called in against the will of the local governments. That's a BIG move and you've got to be sure people want that. Sometimes it's best just to ignore the naughty children until they play themselves out or all end up arrested. Personally, I'm either way about it as long as the federal government is utilizing normal processes to follow up on these crimes.
    .
    What I'd LOVE to see more of is what happened in Ventura, CA. A group of CITIZENS stepped up to surround a statue and kept it from being pulled down. In this case, it was largely Catholic college students.
