Off Topic OLOF's political thread

The anarchist crowd do.

You're not allowed to be patriotic any more

 

Sauce for the goose?



The republicans will win this one as they currently have the numbers

 

There have been 29 Supreme Court nominations in election year. The Constitution does not differentiate on which year of the presidency the President can nominate.

What it boils down to is that the Republicans are completely entitled to do it BUT the Democrats don't like it so are throwing their toys out of the pram AGAIN.

Some of the commentary coming from the real team running the presidential candidates, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Pelosi... Is ridiculous.

The Ginsburg quote is from her Granddaughter. It's hearsay from someone who worked on Hillary's campaign in 2016.

2019 McCONNELL STATEMENT

By 2019, with Trump in office and a continued GOP Senate majority, McConnell said Senate action on a court opening close to the election would not be an issue. Asked at a May 2019 appearance in his home state what he would do if a Supreme Court justice died the next year, creating a vacancy on the nine-member court, McConnell responded immediately: “Oh, we’d fill it.”

The main difference? Unlike 2016, when the White House and Senate were controlled by different parties, both are now under Republican control, McConnell said.

In summary "tough sh*t"

 

No good trying to explain, it's the remain lot, they don't understand democracy.

 

Fat useless dumb bastard

Boris, not you Ell,​

 

I agree they have the right and as I said the numbers to get their nomination through. Have you noticed the elephant in the room yet?

 

You mean the Ozzie with more interest in the UK and America than his own country.

 

I didn't know you lived in the USA?

 

Just answering your question, are you saying there's something else.

 

Now now Eric, stop bullying the natives with your superior intelligence.

 

Has he been bullying you then. makes a change.

 

You know how it works chesh, or at least you should do by now.

Us rich kids get bullied like billy-o at school...after that it's payback time on the plebs in society for all eternity. Think of it as the ying and yang of an education for the privileged.

Makes you proud to be British doesn't it

 

I was at a school without any privaliged rich kids, the black kids weren't the black kids, they were just kids, that's why,we all grew up with equality. Inner city grammar schools or private schools, you can keep them.

 

It depends what sort of school you went to.

 

Prawn sandwiches I think, for Jammy.

 

My school... If you were lucky you had a gola or puma sports bag to take your stuff to school, if you were really lucky it would be a Leeds United bag

If you were not so lucky a Tesco carrier bag.

One new kid had a brief case, it ended up in the lake and he followed it shortly after. My old school was terrible for bullying and full of kids who are probably dead or banged up now. Can’t say I enjoyed school or learnt too much whilst there.
