The [Current Year] General Political/Salma Hayek discussion thread, part 4!!!

[mmpsteve]

Like it or not, it has ALWAYS been that an opposing party Senate majority would not consider or approve SCOTUS nominees when the opening on the court occurred "close" to the Presidential election. ALWAYS. From the beginning! Both parties! No exceptions! 11-0. Batting 1.000.

But it was somehow unfair to treat Obama's nominee EXACTLY the same because.... because why? Please explain to me why Obama's nomination of Garland deserved, and by MSM propagandized accounts, DEMANDED, an unprecedented treatment unheard of in the entire history of our country. Anything other than the demanded special treatment was <fill-in the blank>.

Please, explain it to me like I'm a 5th grader, because it's entirely possible I'm just dense.

Well said. Guess I'm part of the Dense Crew also.

She absolutely needs to be put out front and center as the face of the modern democrat party.

Yeah, I think things are moving that direction.

At some point there'll be a photo-op that includes her and Bernie Sanders passing some sort of symbolic baton.

Looks like she is going to have to get some seniority like everyone else before she gets ahead in the House anyway.

Do you think her district is dumb enough to vote her in again?

Yes, I do.

I think she is exactly what they want from their government.

Edit: Just finished watching the video. Wow... A voice of optimism, but he warned of many of the problems that have come to pass.

She keeps knocking her own party, and they might not let her anywhere.

Or the Democratic Party is going to have a split.

small thread jack.
The military is debating getting rid of bread/water punishment.

I think a constant diet of MRE's does the same thing...

We will now discuss the difference between obstruction and concretion/bezoar...

AOC had a Watchmen quote that got some news coverage over the weekend. That's pretty cool.

We need the GOP to cultivate younger, nerdy-attractive, pop-culture referencing conservatives.

Can we all agree that Trump should stop tweeting?

C'mon INGO, there's gotta be some common ground on that.

I'd say it was definitely in poor taste. I don't think it was racist.

Sure, he should rely on the left propaganda media to convey whatever he wants to say.
