Some of the senators, who despite reservations, approved Trump's Supreme Court justice nominations were way too trusting:

When the USA had political parties with some integrity, the president's nominations for the Supreme court had passed after review by Congress. That tradition has long since disappeared and the choices are now 100% political.

Mitch O'Connells refusal to even conduct congressional review for Obama's nominations being the most glaring abuse of process. The rushing through a Trump choice just prior to the 2020 Presidential election is a case of total hypocrisy. Not that the Dems have been much better.

This is not the process in most of the Western world, but is commonplace in authoritarian regimes like Russia, Myanmar, China etc. The fact that judicial choices in the USA are comparable to these undemocratic nations speaks volumes for the demise of proper and independent legal process in the USA.

The token Biden nominated can't even tell us what a woman is.

The stupidity of wokeness is staggering. Most of the euro and kiwi Momma's Boys embrace it.

It's only getting worse for the nanny state dimbulbs. Brace for impact. The children among us react violently when they don't get their way.

The only people to blame are the Americans themselves, many behaving like ostriches, head in the sand and them you have the opposite the gung ho gun toting neanderthals with limited vocabulary ( using more than four letters difficult ) .
Hearkening back to 1776 and all that forgetting the trials and tribulations of the Civil war. but still wanting to embrace it aka Texas not recognising Biden as President .
Sadly the vociferous amongst them seem top sway the lemming population and there you have it .A broken Amerioca wherre it is easy to carry guns op;enly ( the WEild Werst )_ and Women have to obey the laws relating to their body , laws made by WHITE old me. does nopt matter how you became pregnant, there is NOT a cat in hells chance pf aborting it in many states now including TEXAS home of that chap called CRUZ a Republican , a loud mouthed neanderthal with delusions of grandeur. As does that Dumb Blonde thanking Trump for saving White Lives ( bugger the black lives ) They sauy it was a mistake , lies again told top try to exonerate an openly Racist Congresswoman.

I fear Giggle is correct and some of the woke mob will get violent. We've seen them cheer loudly at a boofhead storming a stage to slap a comedian. I expect a Supreme Court justice to be assassinated within the next year or two.

I'm stunned at the sense of entitlement from the left. They need to wise up and win some elections. That's how democracy works. It would help if they could get more women voters to vote for pro-abortion candidates. Plenty of Americans are happy to vote for anti-abortion candidates and governments.

What is your definition of "woke", 93?

And who are the "woke mob"?

I am stunned by the lack of understanding and analysis by some on this forum.

The "left", as you put it, won the Presidential election in 2012, and the person nominated by Obama to the Supreme Court was stymied by the "right", who had lost that election. That wasn't democracy working.

The same "left" won an election last year, and the "right" tried to overturn, by force, that result on January 6. That was the very antithesis of democracy.

Haha
Read the sign to see what she needs to get a life.
Maybe she’s just throwing it out there to see what she can get.
And to add on the others side of the coin. She might just be identifying as a woman and still have the dangly bits.

A double whammy of SCOTUS nonsense.
jesuswept.jpg
Jesus wept
Justice Gorsuch wrote, "Not everything school employees do during work hours is official conduct, Justice Gorsuch wrote. If it were, he said, “a school could fire a Muslim teacher for wearing a head scarf in the classroom or prohibit a Christian aide from praying quietly over her lunch in the cafeteria.”

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/suprem ... -rcna31662

Earlier in the week...
The Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that Maine may not exclude religious schools from a state tuition program, the latest decision by a conservative majority that has increasingly favored the role of religion in public life.

The vote was 6 to 3, with the court’s three liberal justices in dissent.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., writing for the majority, said the ruling did not require states to support religious education. But states that choose to subsidize private schools, he added, may not discriminate against religious ones.

Here's hoping that Maine's madrasa's get their fair share without having to resort to SCOTUS.

That's before you take into account the amount of sports events murdered by American MLS commentators. [-X

He's hit the frame ?? (presumably he's hit the crossbar)
From outside the eighteen? (From outside the penalty area)
They got him in and around the nine? (in and around the cenre forward or stiker)
Thats called a "shoot through legs" ............ (No it f'in isnt [-X )
What a start to the second forty five (the second half)
Martinez gets to the base line (gets to the goal line)

It's not bloody difficult ....... these terms have been in use for nearly 150 years ....... why on earth do you have to dumb down everything
