Remember when Republicans weren’t going to let Hillary Clinton have a SCOTUS appointment? Ever? – Daily Kos

John McCain, letting another cat out of the bag.

Dear Democrats, let's go on this short walk down memory lane. We don't have to go far, just to October2016.

The exact quote: "I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up. [] I promise you."

There was rampant discussion, back in October, about the virtues of an eight-member court, coming from Republican senators and conservative scholars and activists. Like this one.

Theres no reason Democrats couldnt insist on a Trump SCOTUS nominee to be above the age of 80. Or female. Or not a tool of the religious right. Or not a misogynist.

Republicans stole this Supreme Court seatfrom President Obama and justified doing so with any number of outlandish theories and justifications. That was after Obama extended an olive branch to them in nominating Merrick Garland, a nominee that no less than Orrin Hatch had offered up as a consensus nominee. Thats the same Hatch who just erased Democrats from his Finance Committeeto ram through cabinet nominees who had out-and-out lied to him and the committee.

Democrats do not need outlandish justifications for resisting this nominee, forrejectingthe completely unprincipled way Republicans held this seat openThey have the moral high ground. Blocking Trumps nomination of NeilGorsuch would be a defense of the Senate, a defense of the presidency and of the constitution.

"We would like to share our love and happiness," she wrote in a statement on the social media site.

"We have been blessed two times over.

"We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes.

5 million fraudulent Hillary Clinton votes, and she still lost? – The Denver Post

Interesting times we live in. The ban on Muslims, which was not a ban on Muslims, except they all seemed to be Muslims who were held up at airports, no Johnsons or Aberystwyths, and they had green cards and visas, including a translator formerly employed in a war zone by U.S. forces, which brought massive crowds into the streets because someone at the White House hadnt read the manual on Writing Executive Orders and the executive who signed the order, who couldnt tell an executive order from a lace placemat, is, for the 20th time in one week, exposed as a dope. Isnt somebody supposed to be looking after the man? His alt-right strategy guy, now a permanent member of the National Security Council, the one with the Bulgarian movie star hairdo where was he? Busy writing the declaration on Holocaust Remembrance Day that forgot to mention the Jews?

Meanwhile, we are dealing with the idea that 5 million Americans, registered to vote in more than one place, hit the road on Election Day to cast as many ballots as possible for Hillary Clinton, a mass migration not seen except in Godzilla movies, and yet it was so poorly managed that, despite cheating on a scale never before seen in human history, she lost the Electoral College. The Illinois Democrats forgot to go up to Wisconsin and Michigan, the New Yorkers didnt cross over to Pennsylvania. Pathetic! And dead people too! Democratic precinct workers may have bought the drivers licenses of deceased voters from corrupt undertakers and smudged the photographs and come to the polls right after lunch when the pollwatchers are sleepy and not paying close attention. Five million left-wing outlaws! Eighty-thousand votes in the right places a dunk shot! she would be Madam President today, but even with 5 million, she couldnt put the ball in the basket! Sad. (Its like owning a casino and going bankrupt: how do you go broke when you can rig the slot machines?)

Five million is an alternative fact. Other alternatives would be: 1) there was not much cheating at all;2) there are five million Syrian refugees in this country whom we know nothing about; 3) that is the presidents natural hair color.

Vice President Mike Pence has promised to investigate the 5-million-illegals alternative fact, and he is a radical pro-lifer, the kind who believe that life begins at the cellular stage, that zygotes are people, and take a hard line against masturbation. Given his definition of personhood, those 5million outlaws may actually be in liquid form in a small glass beaker. A youngish male, in his moment of ecstasy, propels a hundred million out into the world, so five is peanuts, chicken feed.

Meanwhile the Boy President, having campaigned on a platform of greatness, is attempting to leap tall buildings at a single bound and be more powerful than a locomotive: replace Obamacare with something better that insures everyone and that costs less, build the wall, beef up the military, spend a trillion on infrastructure, cut taxes, and still balance the budget. Despite promising to do all this, he finds himself distinctly unwelcome. As his son-in-law said, it is easy to hate him at a distance, and so far he has kept his distance.

The word is that he is an indoorsman, watches a lot of TV and when he watches movies, he tends to fast-forward past the dialogue parts to where the cars blow up and the hero runs through the flames to rescue the babe who is taut and tan and a total ten. He does not read so much. Thats fine. We held our election and thats what Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin voted for. Mr. 44 expressed one side of America, the side that gave us the civil rights movement, cool jazz, basketball, and the love of books, and 45 represents the Hummer, the Whopper, gold-flecked marble, and the value of hyperbole, especially among those who dont know what it means. Thats why he surrounds himself with great, great people, very special people, and has beautiful meetings and was gratified to see millions of people at his inauguration including thousands of women who sent their underwear up to the platform with a note saying, Im yours. You say when and where. All of them totally gorgeous.

But the fact remains: if you lose an election by 80,000 votes when you have 5 million to play around with, you are too dumb to be president. Democrats are blaming it on the creaky old Electoral College, but the problem is the lack of rapid interstate transit. People needed to cross state lines quickly and couldnt get there. Its four hours from Chicago to Waterloo, Iowa, and six from New York City to Wheeling, W. Va. High-speed rail couldve saved our country.

Super Bowl LI: Hillary Clinton Plots Revenge – Townhall

|

Posted: Jan 30, 2017 12:01 AM

Beware: Hillary Clinton loves that you love footballand the fact that Super Bowl LI is on pace to be 2017s biggest live TV event fits perfectly into her plot to exact revenge on President Trump.

Around 140 B.C., corrupt Roman politicians found a way to placate their impoverished citizens into surrendering their inalienable right to voting privileges and political representationin exchange for discounted entertainment and food. As a result, the Roman poet Juvenal coined the famous term bread and circuses.

Make no mistake: bread and circuses are making a comebackironically in the country founded upon the same upstanding principles Rome held before Rome fellthe United States of America.

Republican, Democrat or Independentit makes no differencewe have all succumbed to this ploy. A 2016 Harris poll finds that football remains Americas favorite professional sport, and continues to grow more fans in contrast to Americas second-favorite sport, baseball.

So, Americans call football their favorite sport and happilycold beer in one hand, greasy pizza slice in the othersubsidize billion-dollar NFL stadiums and multi-million dollar NFL salaries as they themselves struggle with groceries and rent. If theres one thing low-income and high-income American families commonly prioritizeits a big-screen television.

Libraries and bookstores, meanwhilewhich offer truly affordable entertainment that also happens to enrich the mind and soulare struggling. The average American Millennial reads voluntarily for less than 10 minutes per day according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Even as Pew reports that the middle class is no longer a majority in America and the majority of Millennials in socialist Canada are homeowners in contrast to only 36% of Millennials in (more-socialist?) Americathe NFLs Oakland Raiders convinced the state of Nevada to raise taxes to build and subsidize their teams brand new $1.9 billion stadium on 62 acres of prime Las Vegas real estate by 2020.

To be fair, the Raiders do plan to pay rent. A whopping $1 per year. Yep, thats one dollar every 365 days.

Yes, we just elected a populist to the White House. And President Trump has used his first days in office to keep his promises of slashing regulations and stopping federal bloat. But you and I are both guilty ofor, at the very least, vulnerable toClintons plan to slow Trumps strides. And theres no better time for us to wake up than on the day when she most hopes to lull us to sleep: Super Bowl Sunday.

Hillarys Plot to Pummel Trump

Shes no sports fan (after all, she recently said she hoped the Chicago Cubs would win the Super Bowl when they were up to win baseballs World Series). But Hillary Clinton is a fan of using sportsas did the ancient Romansto prey on the good intentions of an uninformed public.

I am too young to recall this personallybut First Lady Hillary Clinton chose January 26 of 1992Super Bowl Sundayto go on CBS 60 Minutes following the game to make her most notorious public remarks, sitting on a couch alongside her philandering husband, then-President Bill Clinton.

Im not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man Im sitting here because I love him, and I respect him, and I honor what hes been through Clinton gushed.

Bad Boy Billy had been through quite a lot indeedafter court evidence showed he sexually assaulted innocent women, most notably a White House intern young enough to be his daughter. And being a supportive wifewho happened to have her own political ambitionsHillary had Bills back.

Fast-forward to 2017. TIME reports that Hillary wasted no time in [placing] a phone call after the election to tell the notorious henchman of George SorosDavid Brockthat she would advise him to sign up some top-notch litigators who would do pro bono work against Trump. Specifically, Brock tells Time: She spoke about trying to construct a suit that would get you discovery on potential or alleged contacts between the Trump organization and the Russian government.

She didnt mean it when she said we should give Trump an open mind and a chance to lead in her concession speech.

Wheres Hillary?

Photographer Jim Lo Scalzo captured the moment when Donald J. Trump emerges from the U.S. Capitol building on Inauguration Day. Trump is caught mid-stride as he steps onto a long aisle of blue-and-red carpet to be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

Some pictures are worth a thousand words. In this photo, which consumes a two-page spread in TIME, you see the head of every notable politicianRepublican and Democrat alikecraned backward, watching Trump emerge. Governors and senators straincell phones in handto snap a photo of their new president. Hillary stands out in this sea like a Wheres Waldo? aberration. Her head faces forwardin the exact opposite direction. Her eyes are set on the empty podium that could have been hersand in momentswill be his.

Thirty-one million TV viewers tuned in for Trumps inauguration according to Nielsensizable to be surebut over 79 million fewer than will tune into Super Bowl LI to watch the New England Patriots battle the Atlanta Falcons.

As I wrote last week, hundreds of thousands of American women took to the streets to protest Trumpbut these same women didnt show up in droves to the polls to vote. Nor, apparently, did these women watch the presidential debates to learn what policies Trump actually embraced. None of the three presidential debate audiences (84, 69 and 71 million respectively) bested the Super Bowl.

Were not paying attention to politics because, like the Romans, were prioritizing sports above all. And thats the way Hillary likes it.

We Scorn Brady, Let Hillie Off Hook

When Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was accused of deflating footballs for a 2015 AFC title game, Americans were outraged. Brady was publicly scorned as if he were a wanton criminal who had endangered our countrys national security. He was suspended for the first four games of the NFL season.

When Clinton actually endangered our national security by using a private server to send and receive classified information over an unsecure connectionand then deleted the evidenceand lied about it, nothing happened. Literally. Because Americans by-and-large didnt know. When voters did find outa few days before the 2016 presidential electionit was several years too late.

Four Americans died in Benghazi because of Hillarys incompetenceand she was still given an opportunity to run our country for four years. What is wrong with us as a people that we will punish and slander an entertainerbut willingly underwrite the corrupt lifestyle of a politician who endangers our country by her malfeasance?

Have we gone mad?

What are Hillary Clinton's people complaining about with respect to the F.B.I. Based on the information they had she should never have been allowed to run guilty as hell Trump tweeted on January 13 in response to Clintons pouting and shouting that she lost the election because an FBI probe into her misconduct stopped her momentum.

Studies show that barely one in three Americans can name the three branches of U.S. government (executive, judicial and legislative) or has a solid grasp on how much our government truly spends on entitlement programs. Most Americans would be less hard-pressed to name the Patriots quarterback (Brady) and why hes associated with a matter called Deflategate.

Enjoy the Super Bowl. Resist the temptation, however, to be swept away by the sensational entertainment to such an extent that you become vulnerable to Hillarys plot to pummel President Trump. We cant let America fall for the same reason Rome fell: bread and circuses.
