    Benson is very annoyed that Breyer chose to give Biden the opportunity to replace him before the midterms. Be sure that McConnell, Manchin, et al will do everything they can to delay it until after the newly elected Senators are seated.

    Concretionist, there are 34 senate seats up for grabs this year. 20 Republican, and 14 Democrat. 5 of the Republican seats will be vacant, due to retirement, and 1 Democrat. Barring some wildly outrageous Democratic catastrophe, delay by Manchin and McConnell won’t change the very negative outlook for the Republican party in the Senate. How very sad for them…I weep to think of their misery…BWAHAHA!! The outlook in the House isn’t so likely to be cheerful, unfortunately, but it is the Senate that will decide who the replacement justice will be.

    ^^ I didn’t know Thomas was retiring. Ginny won’t let him as long as she can use him to grift for her causes.

    Lisa and the other Trump Disciples were deliriously happy when Ruth Bader Ginsberg died. They had her replacement nominated before she was even buried.

    They celebrated the opportunity to put a perjurer, who was also guilty of sexual assault on the court.

    The Democrats are not gleeful, but they are thankful for his decision. More, they are thankful for his years of faithful service to the United States of America.

    Real nice that the White House leaked his plans, and forced his speech, the day after everyone knew his news. Stay classy, democrats.

    My bet is VP Harris will be nominated to replace Breyer. It solves several problems facing Democrats. For one it gives the unpopular VP a dignified exit ramp and allows an opening for a stronger candidate to replace Biden when he can’t do this anymore.

    The big IF is if Senator Sinema or Manchin get an offer from the republicans they can’t refuse and jump ship and McConnell becomes majority leader=no judges confirmed until 2025.

    To preempt all the crying liberals which will be deliberately used as a distraction against the failing admin…

    13 Senate Democrats voted against Black female judge nominated by Trump

    The Senate Democrats in question all voted against Ada E. Brown, former President Trump’s nominee for district judge of the northern district of Texas.

    Brown, a Black woman, was confirmed in September 2019 by a vote of 80-13, with the 13 “nay” votes coming from Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer, Tammy Baldwin, Richard Blumenthal, Sherrod Brown, Maria Cantwell, Catherine Cortez Masto, Kirsten Gillibrand, Mazie Hirono, Ed Markey, Patty Murray, Brian Schatz, Debbie Stabenow and Ron Wyden.

    I hope the dims confirm a judge who can reverse Joe’s own hypocritical policies.

    “It Strips You of Your Dignity, Dammit!” – Joe Biden Screams About Families Not Affording Insulin After He Raised the Prices Don’t expect this to make any headlines in the fake news.Joe Biden started screaming about families who can’t afford insulin this weekIn one of his first acts as president, Joe Biden ended President Trump’s policy reducing medical costs on insulin back on January 24, 2021.

    His handlers need to do a better job.

    Again, a justice who sees the ridiculousness of progressive policies would be extremely sensible, helpful, and patriotic, no matter what color. I just typed no matter what color, isn’t that the entire message of the progressives, everything is racism? Except when they promote racism?

    Biden Admin Data Is Clear: Republican Governors Crush Democratic Ones In Terms Of Pandemic RecoveryPresident Joe Biden’s economy produced only 210,000 jobs in November. Yet DeSantis was crowing because nearly a quarter of them – 51,100 – were in Florida. The Sunshine State also produced a job growth rate that at the time outpaced the nation as a whole by 600 percent.“Newly released December data from the Labor Department confirms that Republican governors and legislatures are leading the way in getting Americans back to work,” the RNC said in a statement on Tuesday.Here are some of the RNC’s findings:More jobs are being recovered and unemployment is lower in red states16 of the top 20 states for jobs recovered since the COVID-19 pandemic began are led by Republican governors, and 18 of the top 20 states have Republican-led legislaturesThe top nine states for jobs recovered are all led by RepublicansFour Republican-led states – Utah, Idaho, Texas, and Arizona – have more jobs now than when the pandemic hit, likely evidence of the mass exodus from blue statesRepublican-led states on average have recovered 87 percent of jobs lost during the pandemic, compared to just 75 percent for Democrat-run statesThe story was similar when viewed from the other side.The RNC found that 16 of the top 20 states with the lowest unemployment rates are run by Republican governors, while 17 have Republican-controlled legislatures.Other findings:The 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates are all led by Republicans, while the seven states with the highest unemployment rates are all led by Democratic governors: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, and New York

    If Manchin and Sinema try to delay the nomination they are going to see the wrath of a really angry President. If the Repugs try, they are going to find out what an executive order can do to screw their mentor into oblivion.

    Republicans SHOULD give the new justice replacement the same reception that the Democrats gave Brett Kavanaugh. :-) Republicans, however, have more respect for the law and traditions than that clusterf**k.

    So Breyer finally knuckled under to the brow beating he was getting from the Democrats. Can’t say I blame him. On a personal level this is probably a good thing for him considering his age. Let him retire, spend his remaining years with his grandkids, family and write his memoirs. I felt that Ginsberg should have done the same thing many years ago politics be damned.

    The Demoncrats had to come up with a distraction. Breyer completely contradicted his earlier remarks about Justices retiring from the Court in the exact manner that he has now done.

    Hidin Biden’s cover up:Jesse Watters: So Biden’s smuggling in unvaxxed, unvetted illegal aliens, he’s flying them to NY where now they can vote in local elections, they can go to college on my dime, they drive down wages and then they can rob a liquor store with a gun and then they’ll only be charged with a misdemeanor and then they can’t be deported because it’s a sanctuary city. That’s where we are right now. This is a Democrat human smuggling operation.

    As it turns out—and this should come as no surprise to anyone who knows even a little bit about how Big Tech operates—Wikipedia is full of bias. And I’ll give you three guesses which way Wikipedia doesn’t just lean but is fully ensconced in. If it takes you more than one guess, I will look at you with the blankest stare you can imagine.

    Time after time, article after article, we decided to go in and add, edit, or clarify information with our own account. We didn’t go in and say anything outlandish (as I once decided to do while bored out of my mind). Our team cited sources, provided verifiable information, or simply attempted to remove overtly biased opinions (in some cases, purely personal opinions).

    Wikipedia did not approve.

    If there are things left-wing tech giants don’t approve of they’re facts, objective truth, and anything that doesn’t purposefully toe the party line. The “reasoning” provided for negating our edits was ignorant, convoluted, and sometimes completely non-existent! The left need not have good reasons to silence opposing views, though. And if they have reasons at all, they need not explain themselves to you.

    Wikipedia is the arbiter of Truth, a benevolent master of facts, weeding out whatever they believe to be disinformation, misleading (read: inconvenient) statistics, and controversial (also inconvenient) views. Also, they really don’t like Steven. – Louder with Crowder
