    And Biden can't tell the difference between his sister and his wife ( you can read into that what you want) . He doesn't know if he is running for the Senate or the Presidency or know which state he is in. He thinks he backed down Corn Pop and his gang , who was armed with a razor, with a length of chain. Maybe Corn Pop just had a safety razor.

    I'm in the tech sector as well and I am not a trump supporter, but none of that has anything to do with you thinking that biden can just nominate 10 more people for SCOTUS
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    trump can't tell the difference between his daughter and his wife. Kinda more disgusting when you think about it.

    trump also thinks that Finland is part of Russia and that there were airports during the Revolutionary War

    Now Now Now tell the truth Lurch. Biden can't remember that he graduated Law school 76th out of 85 and he didn't get a scholarship and he only "decided" to leave school for a year after he was kicked out a year for plagiarism.

    It always warms my heart when a trump voter shows concern for the "truth" but has no problem supporting a criminal mob boss who lies about the severity of a pandemic resulting in 10's of thousands of needless deaths and destruction or our economy.

    Sorry, man. But if you're supporting trump, probably not a good idea to complain about your political opponents lying

    This is rubbish.

    19 times.

    This has happened 19 times in the past.

    9 times the Senate was held by opposition
    10 times the Senate was held by the same party as the WH.

    In the 9 times where the Senate was held by the opposition 1 time (Grover Cleveland I think) got a justice voted in regardless. 8 times the vote did not confirm the nomination.

    In the 10 times where the Senate was held by the same party 9 times the justice was confirmed by the Senate.

    So, if we go by Tradition and Precedent...

    Trump should nominate somebody and the Senate should Approve...

    In each of the cases the President was in an election year or a lame duck... It still doesn't change the actual precedent.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Saint Fauci says Trump told us everything. But while you are at it why don't you tell me what you would have done differently if you, heaven forbid, had been President. BTW Biden had to drop out of the race in 1988 because he was still up to his old plagiarizing ways

    You're a medical professional my friend. Even if you're not an infectious disease expert, you know that trump did nothing to warn his Americans about the severity of the disease when he damn well knew it - insulted people who wore masks - tried to force governors to open their states and schools when he knew it wasn't safe. trump's also at war with his own CDC and is trying to mute them.

    C'mon, man. The guy's dangerous.

    Now, as far as how trump could have been more proactive:

    - He should have implemented a national testing and contact tracing program.

    I'm not a medical expert and even I know he should have done that.

    Never has a non-reelected President nominated a Supreme Court Justice to be confirmed by a non-reelected Senate.

    but it will be safe AFTER the election right? Maybe it will safe for Nashville to open its bars and restaurants then too. Insulted people who wore masks? Who.?? Did nothing to warn?? I guess you were not paying attention during those daily COVID updates. The CDC? You mean the guy who thinks a non 95 surgical mask will protect you or the morons the screwed up the first COVID test and set the country back?
