Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away

And this is what gives me a little hope. In the end most of us want the same thing just our paths to get there are different. Both sides need to learn and be willing to listen to the other, and that should start in Washington.

Now you've convinced me we have to fire them all.

The judicial appointments were not a direct achievement of Donald Trump's, but rather a result of the fact that he was a Republican President while the Republican Party also controlled the Senate and those seats came open - that was simply Trump's good fortune. Trying to sell that as an accomplishment of Donald Trump's is a stretch. You wouldn't need to do that, if Trump had actual accomplishments to talk about.

Also, describing the deal between Israel and Bahrain as being "a middle eastern peace accord" is laughable. The most likely military conflict to occur in the middle east in the future is between Iran and Israel and that hasn't changed since Trump became the President of the United States. Trump has done nothing to help that situation.

Trump has publicly made it a priority to appoint federal judges and has used his republican controlled senate to do just that . All peace accords are laughable if we are honest with ourselves . They may outwardly yammer about how peaceful they are, but they all still continue doing what they do just behind the scenes .

Nevermind

Wray says antifa is an ideology not an organization. Either the FBI is wrong ... again, or there is no antifa leader - trimming your list to three. Besides George Soros is never gonna make the cut - just not happening.

Not a terrible idea

Facts don’t lie or mislead , they are just facts . 3 SCOTUS and 200 federal judge appointees is a very big deal when talking about the president doing the job . Trump will and has literally changed the political landscape appointing constitutional and conservative judges . You can spit you cola out if you want , but we all know this is a fact . Now if you are center to right it’s a good fact , if you are left leaning .. Trump has not been good for your agenda .

I would love to know where Trump stands in your "upper tier" of American Presidents ranking. Is he in front of Herbert Hoover but behind Richard Nixon? Where are Rutherford B. Hayes and Jimmy Carter in your list? Lord knows they're in the same tier as Trump.

 

[luthervol]

Subjectively he will be yes , factually and statistically he will be in the upper tier . That should tell anyone that thinks with a logical mind that he was disliked but still did the job well .

It tells me that he was a despicable person who accomplished nothing that a much less despicable R could have also accomplished while avoiding the complete shredding of the American fabric.

Since our creditors have basically called the shots since 33, I'm amazed it didn't go under sooner. We are too much of a cash crop for them in interest on the national debt alone to fail yet.

I'm very much for cancelling the Chinese debt and using it to pay for the China Flu, though. I still can't see them coming to collect if they disagree. When they then nationalize as payback investments by corporations too stupid to stay home - tough - that's what communist countries do. Like the snake said, we knew what they were even before getting in bed with them.

You must live in a bubble as the fabric was shredded long before Trump, contrary to what the MSM told you. You just want to shoot the messenger.

I kind of feel sorry for Nashville, Asheville and Charlotte since they'll be interned. Since a lot of the modern day manufacturing has been moved to the south or mexico the yankees are f'd when the next civil war takes place. This reminds me, I need to buy some more guns and ammo so my grandkids have the needed firepower.

No need to worry your pretty little head about Charlotte or Aville; I am here and will be leading the reeducation camps. Those that don’t wish to be re-educated or can’t be re-educated will get the Sanger treatment.

We’re just a decent housecleaning away from peace and tranquility.

Trump is dead last. Messiah from Kenya is first. Washington second.

LOL. It would be a priority of any President who had the good fortune of having their party in control of the Senate while seats were open. Senate rules had changed (and yes, that was Reid's fault) which allowed for this to happen. Trying to sell that as an achievement of Trump's is ridiculous if you know anything at all about how the judiciary is filled.

Nothing is quite as inconsequential as a peace deal between Bahrain and Israel. What about Iran? Trump has not even addressed them as a threat.

 

[AM64]

That was actual legislation. Not exactly the same thing as simply taking a list handed to you by The Federalist and picking a name.

So the senate should confirm Trump's proposed replacement to see who he or she is?

 

[volinbham]

This is a red herring. That doesn't have anything to do with not even giving Merrick Garland's nomination a vote, which is what is at the heart of this controversy.

The controversy goes back further than that

 

[Boston Vol]

Trump will always be placed at the very bottom of presidential rankings - regardless of what you listed, that should send a very clear message.

Of course he’ll be placed at the very bottom. After all, Those super duper presidential rankings are written mostly by liberals. How else can you explain terrible presidents like JFK and Woodrow Wilson consistently being placed in the top 10-12?

I 100% agree with your first paragraph and somewhat agree with the second. Lots of chatter that the Saudi’s are considering doing the same with Israel. Apparently the kingdoms rulers are split on it. That would be an accomplishment. Even though I think that has more to do with the more youthful members of the royal family taking control.

If only she had stepped down when she knew she should’ve stepped down.

If that happens, then it's something worth talking about, but I would need to know more before giving an American President any credit for it. We think a great deal of ourselves here, but our leaders are not behind every peace agreement reached around the globe.

 

[Orange_Crush]

I'm curious, would you support a new judge being pushed through if Hillary were president and Dems had a majority in the senate?

He just supported ramrodding a change to the number of justices in order to get his preferred court leaning. lol

So if Trump is re-elected he’ll be fine with Trump adding 6 more of his own.

The butt-hurt in this thread is anything but ethically balanced argumentation. It's blind, seething, dank, stinking terror. lol

Aww, you poor poor baby Dem ........Trump gets you all upset on a daily basis ...... such a poor little sad sack .....
