Jim Jordan Questioning Merrick Garland right now.

Why might that be, mom? I am really curious why you think this…
I would have probably enjoyed you as a Democrat. Thankfully I never suffered a severe blow to the head and I am still a Democrat.
What a load of bullshit. "Details"? GMAFB. You're a republican so you vote republican even though you don't support what republicans are trying to do. It's one of the major issues we have in our country right now.
Joe has done yet one helluva job as a compromiser. He has kept the Dem votes and a lot of stuff has gotten done.
Joe’s an old school Dem…and he has a lot resistance from his own but has held them together as a whole. The problem lies with about 20 Repubbers in House and Senate. They are 100% “contra” everything that can be negotiated… and simply, without compromise, there is no place in politics for these folks. Politics is product of compromise. “My way or the highway” accomplishes nothing…and has no chance of ever accomplishing a thing.
Let’s see, Trump lost an election, told everyone it was being stolen from him. Fed Fox News with it even as many advisors told him he lost. He wanted to manipulate to try to retain power. Called Georgia told them to find 13,000 votes then says it was a perfect call.
DeSantis has removed 2 democratic attorneys. He tried to to punish Disney because they came out with a position different than his. Then has continued to punish and try to outmaneuver on principle while it is beginning to harm Florida tourism. Making Disney target from republicans and democrats not going to Florida because the governor doesn’t seem welcoming.
90% of rationale people would say that have authoritarian tendencies. I don’t think it just a matter of opinion.
“Why did you request a pardon? What laws do you think you broke?”, would be asked more than once.
This take continues to make you look silly. Stop with the dementia crap about someone smarter than you.
shouldn’t he have taken that up with local law enforcement?
What a load of bs. GMAFB. You’re allegedly a democrat so you vote democrat even though you’re a closet socialist.
And yes that is a major issue in our country right now.
See how assumptions get turned around?
It’s very obvious those 2 act like dictators who don’t want to be questioned.
Democrats=“closet socialists but”…….
Republicans = “closet Fascists”….
The Logic is FLAWLESS ain’t it, mom?
No. Because I voted for more republican Presidential candidates that Democratic before Trump. I've been extremely Independent throughout my voting eligibility. On the other hand, you are an ignorant rube. One who states, very clearly, advocate of issues that Democrats advocate yet you still support right wingers.
It's fun watching you get exposed. But only in the intellectual sense - no one wants to see that.
Don't you think the Democrats and especially the Democratically controlld DOJ have fully discredited themselves over the course of the last twenty years or so, and especially over the past seven?

Newt taught the Republicans the importance of snatching defeat from the jaws of (political) victory! And thankfully for Democrats, he had plenty of willing students to mentor.
Hail to Newt Gingrich… the King of Political heels! He made Bill Clinton a great President and started tge Republican Party on its quick slide to self-destruction.
You’re unhinged. The fact you put these 4 together shows how far the left has fallen.
Propaganda and dehumanizing your political opponents with hyperbole is right out of the textbook for authoritarianism. Maybe we should put the MAGAs in camps next? They threaten democracy right? They are pigs, I mean scum right? Only the left can protect America from the evil policies of the MAGAs. They are unclean, stupid.
The manner with which some of you label your political opponents on here is straight out of the manual.
Short answer, no, we need both. We need to increase funding to new and underfunded programs. The costs of new/improved would outweigh the fat that will be taken back by putting many departments on a diet.
I think we should be pulling as many levers at once and it will certainly cost more money in the short term.... that increase should be funded by increased taxes, resolving govt waste, reductions in govt giveaways to profitable industry that ISN"T returning the investment to the govt in the form of dividends.
Garland's successes seem to have come when he was in a position with lots of structure and lots of guidance. In places such as college, Law school, working under senior leadership ... places where there are rules of behavior and where you are never a decision maker. He was a follow-the-leader type guy. He collected lots of honors and lots of accolades probably for prodigious regurgitation of whatever the latest legal thinking was at the time.
He was educated but until he reached the top, he did not have to think. A lot of life is this way.
Once he got the top leadership role in his field, he was expected to be the guy who set up the framework from which everyone took guidance. He has failed miserably at this task.
In fact, he has so disregarded the presumed role of AG, that I think it is fair to say that for the first time in his life, he does not understand it. He does not perceive the magnitude of his influence on the future history of this country, and even on the world.
............................................
He has demonstrated himself to be a very stupid (and for the record and a different thread) a very vindictive individual. He is not up to his current task, and most certainly would not have been a Supreme Court Justice of distinction.
He clearly would have been a dud ... someone who served without any particular insight, but who just kind of filled a slot and wrote a lot of legalese gibberish with no long-term impact on the course of legal thinking in this nation. There would never have been a "Garland Rule" or a Garland Precedent." He would have at some point been simply lost to history.
A dud!!

For the record, no less a luminary of the Right than Arthur Laffer hails Bill Clinton as one of the best presidents of the century (along with Warren Harding, Jack Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump).
All hail Bill Clinton!
You're just a repubphobe... you're a bigot and fear what you don't understand.
I think I did this right
There’s little disagreement among those who worked with or knew him that he was an extremely intelligent man and in today’s atmosphere he wouldn’t be libby enough for the Progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
If you’ll re-read my post I don’t really disagree but the waste that we allow to just roll over every year is huge! Truly go after that and then see how much more we need to add to redirected funds to get things done that we probably agree on.
LOL - supply side economists said Bill Clinton's raising of the top tax rate would kill the economy, yet it boomed. Arthur Laffer is well named.
