There is absolutely no way having Jeff Sessions advise the GWD on judicial appointments is acceptable, we'd be inflicted with actual activist wingnuts instead of the pretend "activist" centerists we need.

Sigh. Another discussion prompt refused.

C'mon, point out one laughable, absurd thing. Just one.

In 1986 Jeff Sessions failed in his bid to become a Federal Judge himself because he thought the NAACP - the organization formed to fight Lynchings - was a "Anti-American/Communist" association. He also called a fellow White Lawyer who defended Black people a "Traitor to his Race"

I expected you to say that.

In fact, I would have been disappointed if you hadn't.

However my intent all along was to be an asshole and do it anyway.

Many of your posts imply that the system is corrupt. It really isn't. The damage that Trump and to some extent Sanders is doing to the integrity of our democratic system by trying to instill the notion that it is corrupt is a danger to our Republic.

This is the same system that gave us Theodore Roosevelt, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Carter, Clinton and Obama. It is not perfect. But in comparison to other nations both now and in recent history it has done a fairly good job.
Individuals in the voting booth are picking the candidates.
I can see your jaded eyes from here.

It is corrupt, in fact the "Trump Movement' and 'Bernie Revolution' are based on this premise. Since you have a penchant of quoting Hillary's support numbers, how about you add up the millions that have voted for Trump and Bernie in the primaries? Can these many people be wrong or be denied of their fundamental rights?

The real problem for both parties is that these revolutions are not going away regardless of who wins the election, and it looks more and more like Trump can.

Doesn't Grumpy own the copyright?

It is a great line though and I know you don't mean it.

By the way, ice, your signature is incomplete. The full text from the Gita is, "Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be."
