Nah. The infuriating part is that most people know it. They just ignore it and speak as though something great has occurred. That's far more dangerous than just trying and failing. Try, fail, and your followers claim success coupled with the power of the office and it's nothing less than a very real risk to our national security.

Hates Merkel, calls his own staff stupid, and gets foreign policy advise from Putin. Amazing how everybody already knows all you have to do to get the master negotiator to do whatever you want is throw him a couple bucks or tell him he looks pretty in that dress.

So Kavanaugh is not qualified why, exactly?
These gymnastics ought to be fun. Who knew Bernie Sanders could run so fast at his age to get in front of a camera at the Supreme Court last night?

So Kavanaugh is not qualified why, exactly? You are really excellent at challenging positions that absolutely no one holds.

I do hope Elvado is intelligent enough to realize no one buys his attempts at portraying himself as some kind of centrist calling out hypocrisy on both sides. Dude is Fox News, through and through.

I am no centrist. I am clearly to the right of most out here. That said, if you don’t think there is ample hypocrisy on the Left, you are beyond help.

^ Doesn't get more hypocritical than screaming religious bigotry over a fake quote the week after you celebrated a muslim ban...

I am appalled that we continue putting only Ivy Leaguers on the Supreme Court.

Historically, evangelicals weren't friends of Catholics. I was brought up in a strict Evangelical home in America. We went to church twice on a Sunday, endured forty-five minute sermons and had to memorise Bible verses. Our family wasn’t anti-Catholic, but we assumed Catholics weren’t really Christians because Catholics weren’t ‘born again.’ After high school I went to the fundamentalist college which gave Ian Paisely his honorary doctorate. The religion there was all hell fire and brimstone. They told us the Catholic Church was the ‘great whore of Babylon’ and the Pope was the anti-Christ. www.holyspiritinteractive.net/columns/dwightlongenecker/currentevents/13.aspAnd recently: Those and other issues put him at odds with many House Republicans, including some evangelical Protestants. Conroy and his defenders see anti-Catholic bias in his treatment. The priest thinks it was his theology that nearly cost him his job, according to his attorney, Daniel Marchese. In an interview Friday, Marchese said that he asked Conroy, whom he met when he was a Georgetown University student and Conroy was the chaplain there: “What do you really want?” www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/house-chaplain-sees-anti-catholic-bias-in-his-treatment/2018/05/04/0898cee6-4fb6-11e8-b725-92c89fe3ca4c_story.html?utm_term=.b175c12e4e49An evangelical pastor and President Donald Trump supporter says Catholicism is a “cult-like pagan religion” and the success of the religion is due to “the genius of Satan.” Dr. Robert Jeffress, a Southern Baptist pastor, says that the Roman Catholic Church is the result of the Babylonian cult system founded by the Book of Revelation in a video posted on YouTube by RWW Blog. www.newsweek.com/did-satan-create-catholicism-trump-supporting-pastor-robert-jeffress-thinks-so-690176

Couldn’t be raw politics could it? I am not sure of your definition of raw politics but ... - guy gets a judgeship based on his work on the Starr Report - President works out a quid-pro-quo deal with a justice that he'll nominate his choice if the justice steps down - guy nominated's scholarship consists of article asserting that a President should be immune from prosecution - President nominating guy is a wanton criminal trying to avoid prosecution

Right raw politics.
Played equally well on both sides of the aisle.
Let’s not forget when Supreme Court nominations became a blood sport.
Thank Uncle Joe and his gang of henchmen who torpedoed Bork. The game has never been the same since.

Hope you Republicans are happy as you watch Trump do Putin's bidding in destroying the Western alliance and blowing up the international economic trade system. Mindless nihilism driven by his insecurity and ego. He is a sociopath - a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience. But you "support his agenda." www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/diagnosing-donald-trump
