Manchin: A Vote On Supreme Court Nominee Before Election 'Will Divide Our Country Futher' | MSNBC
They wouldn’t even allow a vote for a 2nd Stimulus package
That’s your queen Nancy Piglosi why don’t you go to her house and maybe she will invite you in and feed you some of her ice cream
@Bruitic
That was an insult, not a lie. Big difference.
@Jock Young If you lie about little things. You can lie about anything. I hate lairs. Go take a long wait on a short dock.
@Bruitic
When have I ever lied about anything? I am not aware of it.
(Hint: disagreeing with you is not “lying.”)
@Trae Thibodeaux No! Dems wanted a full reinstallment of unemployment insurance of $600 a week, not the $300 Republicans wanted. Plus a $1200 stimulus check for all other Americans. Republicans want to give nothing but another flush fund bailout for corporations
That ship has sailed dude.
Rbg said it herself in a interview in 2016 “the president is elected for 4 years not 3 so he shall act in the 4 th year
@Connor Thompson LMFAO. That wish crap is complete BS. If she truly cared about who replaces her, she would have left when asked under Obama. Wake up.
@Jock Young that was at the guy you were replying to
@Drayguy32
Was the Constitution not important in 2016? It is the hypocrisy that is the issue.
If Trump wins, then the point is moot, but that hasn’t happened yet.
@LionOfWar Where does it say anything about “divided government” in the Constitution? It tells the president and the Senate what to do. There is not a single mention of political parties in the Constitution, is there? Republicans who claim to adore the Constitution simply don’t. They recognized in 1994, after 60 years of Democratic dominance in the Congress that they couldn’t win on issues. They have just as much polling as anyone else and know they still can’t win on issues. They have the results of 2018 as the latest evidence to back that up. So they ignore the basic law of the land as it suits them because that’s the only way to keep power.
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 BS! The economy is not good, the USA has over a 10% unemployment rate and is in the middle of a pandemic that bone spurs has failed to lead; Thus causing the USA to have the highest death rate from the coronavirus in the world, even though we only have only 4% of the world’s population. Bunker boy is a complete and total failure and has always had a low approval rating.
Blah blah blah
They should send out the stimulus checks now an argue about the rest later. WTF
@Michael Lucas They also contribute to the most debt and spending. Also comparing red/blue federal bailouts by state is a false comparison according to google.
@MajorTempest imagine that .. A state with 40 million people spends more then Iowa .. Crazy
gobigorange With all due respect, the pubs don’t want to. They think the underclass that hasn’t saved up lots of money is a bunch of losers and grifters on the system. So perhaps we should get used to it. Trump said he would eliminate social security next term. And probably other social programs.
James Sparhawk And since Trump who gets all intel that the governors don’t and he sat on doing anything on stopping it, maybe we should ask Trump to pay for it all
MajorTempest Do you get all your talking points from the ‘Pubs or the Russian t farm?
I just hope the new Associate Justice abides by and upholds the Constitution. It’s not about towing the party lines. It’s about upholding the laws of the land.
@Jock Young because the president and the Senate were not the same party so it is different. Everytime a chair on the supreme court was empty in a election year the president at the time has tried to fill it.usually it goes through if the president and Senate are same party and usually it doesn’t if they are from different parties. The supreme court has been liberal for 50 years and Democrats are freaked out only because it starting to become more conservative. The president is following the constitution and gets threatened with impeachment. There is something wrong about that. If the shoe was on the other foot the Republicans would be unhappy but they wouldn’t threaten impeachment over it.
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 I pay alot more because of Obama care and the only thing better about it is the insurance companies cover preexisting conditions otherwise copays are higher for worse healthcare
@Mike Johnson Democrats are so off the rails and I don’t see how Democrats are so blind to the hate Pelosi and her ilk spew.they act like bigots and racists
@De’Narde English only when activist judges like RBG are on the court. They’re not supposed to legislate from the bench.
@Nick King Democrats, evil turds swimming in a cesspool of other democrat turds. Democrats will risk sinking the country in their attempt to regain the power of the White House. They care not about Americans, only about the power to control Americans. It’s insanity.
There’s a first time for everything.
“Let the games begin.”
@Connie Hahn if you honestly believe it’s the repulicans that dont want to see the views of other people,you should break out of your bubble.
@Dan Saturday “blue dog dems ain’t gonna vote for Trump again.” They did not vote for him the first time. The 2016 election results prove that. Moderates / undecided people in the middle that are working class elected Trump. Every Dem in 2016 voted Killary.
@Jason King michigan voted red,Wisconsin voted red,Ohio voted red Indiana voted red,those are all blue dogs and they all voted for Trump I love your state but you need to just take the L cause your wrong on this one.
Trae Thibodeaux freaking kgb wanna be agent
@Connie Hahn everything you said about Republicans applies directly to Democrats.
To politicize ones death is about as low as one can get
Why are we allowed to comment on here lol this never happens
The comments are always open on here.
This makes no sense every single Supreme Court nominee has been done before an election.
@jckix the republicans have a God complex…they all think they are God….you cannot have a productive conversation with any of them….its sad…its their way or the highway….
@Jamison Munn exactly….
@mark day uh no…they said this how this works and then said oh we made a mistake..
BS….look up what they said its all on tape….McConnell..Lindsay…Portman…theres more…..liars…the lot of them….I have no respect for GOP….
@Jamison Munn The Democrats didn’t delay the second stimulus you dumb fool. That delay is completely on Moscow Mitch. Quit lying! Quit projecting, fascist fool!
@Jason King Funny that Trump manipulates them now.
I dont think you could really get more divided than we are.
Kimberly Galanti the only monster here is the atmosphere the Democrats have created with their hatred.
@Kimberly Galanti It’s funny, I have never met anybody who uses the word FASCIST who even understands what it means.
Jock Young, I don’t agree. I prefer a conservative court based on Christian morality. It looks like we are going to get that.
@bryanatwku
Theocracy is the death of democracy, and we will fight it to the end of time.
Jock Young, are you saying it is impossible for a Christian to support democracy?
Oof, MSNBC really keeping up the stereotype that they can’t spell: “futher.”
The spelling police are here. Oh, and your punctuation is wrong as you are improperly using the colon.
@Jeremiah Lol, this is a YouTube comment section buddy, not grammar class. I was only pointing out a regular pattern from MSM channels of misspelling certain words in titles. The colon was used to introduce a list of the misspelling. But I guess the Karen in you couldn’t even take a stupid joke. Lighten up buddy.
Can’t wait for people to be outraged for not following what my dying wish will be…
That’s not why people are outraged.
Fill that seat 👍🏼
As Barack Obama once said, “elections have consequences. You lost. Get over it.”
@Jock Young 2017 and 2020 aren’t 4 and a half year’s.
@Jock Young By the way it would be his third.
@Tim Kozlowski The vacancy occurred in February, 2016, 11 months before the end of Obama’s presidency. Count the months since then. Did McConnell not even threaten to block Democratic nominations for four years if Hillary had won? How is that constitutional?
@Gnirol Namlerf And you clearly don’t understand that it was filled in 2017, by President Trump. And he wasn’t the President, back when the seat opened up. So you’re wrong.
@Jock Young that is an easy question. The appointment of a SC justice isn’t held solely by the president.
The Senate plays an equal role.
in 2014 the American people elected Republicans to share the SC appointment process with Obama. When an vacancy occurred in 2016, the Senate said no.
In 2016 and again in 2018, the American people decided they wanted democrats no where near the SC appointment process so they gave the power solely to the Republicans.
“Good morning, … Sunday morning.” – Nancy Pelosi
Bwaaahaahaa…crazy! Right?
I never thought I’d live to see the Democratic party crash and burn.
MSDNC LOGIC:
Dems control WH = nominate.
Rep control WH & Senate = don’t nominate.
“It’s distracting from covid,” as she and everyone around her are wearing masks.
Trump will stall till Halloween, then pass a piece of crap disguised as a meaningful gesture
