2020 US Elections

I got dogs abuse on here for suggesting that the Trump presidency hadn't actually done much besides troll the permanently outraged - I was immediately castigated by the permanently outraged. I had a peep on his twitter as that's where most of the stuff on here about him comes from, and it looks like he uses it purely to troll people who hate him. I'd be genuinely interested to know how many of his millions of followers are supporters. From the replies to his trolling it would appear hardly any - he feeds his brand on the fuel of well-meaning liberal hatred as far as I can see.

That is simply not true.

When you posted something similar you got one response which was from me and I called it a load of shite and explained why. 9 people agreed with my post. No one else responded so you didn't get dogs abuse, you actually didn't get any abuse because calling a post shite is not the same as abusing a poster.

Stop playing the victim.

It's entirely partisan.

Well yes, SCOTUS picks are partisan.

I feel like I'm not really understanding what you're getting at

If Biden gets in he might not make it to the end of his term at his age?

he's a few years older than lard arse Trump, i'd favour him to last a term than him

He's only 3 years older than Trump and Bidne looks fitter. But it is interesting that over there candidates tend to be in thier 70s these days - seems very odd

Excellent.

Am I right in saying if Biden wins Texas it's all over?

If Biden wins Texas, not just the election but the entire Republican platform is over

See this is part of the lie.

Going back to the Nixon administration, 17 of the 21 supreme court justices were voted in with massive supermajorities. Many of them had 90%+ votes in favour. They were voted for by both parties.

That's because normal practice is to appoint reasonable, well qualified, universally respected judges.


What Trump and Mitch McConnel have done, removing the supermajority requirement and forcing through 3 Supreme Court nominees that were so hyper conservative that not even all the republicans could back is not normal.

It's the ultimate both-sides fallacy. Merrick Garland was not a democratic version of Gorsuch or Kavanaugh. He was a moderate, because that's what you did.

The two parties are not the same.
