Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Would the Rs not having gone nuclear prevented that? If not then their going nuclear now instead of leaving it to the Dems at least provides some balance to that.

Some of these sound like attemps to convince themselves about the tweets (including some articles which I posted in the past) AKA cognitive dissonance (there, I said it again) but there seems to be some truth to it as well.

From CNN today.   http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/26/politics/kennedy-retirement-trump/index.html

A Kennedy retirement -- whether it comes tomorrow, this week or any time between now and 2019 (after that you can be sure Democrats would block any attempt to nominate a new justice, given the Merrick Garland precedent) -- would mean in the eyes of many conservatives that Trump would be the man who changed the legal course of the country. He would become the new Reagan for many in the conservative movement.

Huh?  Why do these idiots assume that the Ds will be able to block anything in 2019?

Them gaining 3 seats is a very long shot based on the 2018 map.

You don't know what you are talking about. Ossof's massive win coupled with Gianforte's humiliating loss is just foreshadowing a GOP massacre in 2018. The Dems are clearly resurgent.

I understand that. Cillizza is usually smarter than that.

They're assuming they get majority Senate seats in 2018 election.

Okay. Understand that.   So at least write (after that you can be sure Democrats would block any attempt to nominate a new justice, if the Democrats win the Senate, given the Merrick Garland precedent)

They wanna make it sound like 2018 is over and the Ds are already in control.  The same way they played in the 2016 elections. FAKE NEWS.

Well it all depends on how Trump will end up. If he comes out from the Russia investigation scratch free it will be a huge win for him, he will be able to focus fully on his agenda of making America great again adn the Rs will keep both houses.   If not... Then we got a problem indeed.

I'm talking about thinking the nomination makes him the best before you see how he actually turns out as a judge
I'm still reserving judgment, but the article below might be indicative:

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/the_breakfast_table/features/2017/supreme_court_june_2017/neil_gorsuch_is_everything_liberals_feared_and_more.html

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
