With a better grasp of math, less self-righteousness and a bit of humility, someday you might understand!The only thing you got right in your post is that the right does like guns. Of course, without guns, you leftists would not have a country to ruin now.
My life is going to be minimally impacted regardless of who wins. I have a life outside of ideology. Leftists are the ones that go scorched Earth when they do not get their way. I will still get up and go to work the next day, same as always.

No, I mean the burning down of cities for months on end and throwing tantrums any time you do not get what you want. I would like you to show me when conservatives have done that in the last 100 years.Scorched earth? You mean like the racist Trump getting his white supremacist thugs to intimidate voters at the polls?
**** Trump and **** all of the Repug Nazi racists that support that mother ****er.
I figured you'd run out of arguements when instead of addressing the topic of the recount you went off on a tangent about where you lived. CT nonsense. The recount proved the popular vote in Florida, when completed, went to Bush. No matter what district you were living in at the time, nor how long you lived there
The Republicans are doing just that. It's constitutional.
It is right there next to the president's taxes clause.
Doh! You continue to miss the relationship between Katherine Harris and certification of the 2000 Florida Election results. She wrapped up a pile of pooI figured you'd run out of arguements when instead of addressing the topic of the recount you went off on a tangent about where you lived. CT nonsense.

There was a full recount. It showed Bush would have won, even if the count hadn't been stopped.Doh! You continue to miss the relationship between Katherine Harris and certification of the 2000 Florida Election results. She wrapped up a pile of pooand declared it stink free! Wink wink!

The Florida Supreme Court ruled 7 - 0 in favor of Gore. GW Bush's brother Jeb served as Florida Governor during the case. The two brothers, Jeb and GW appeared to support each other's election ambitions. Katherine Harris, served dual roles during the case. As Secretary of State her duties included certifying the Florida Election. She also served as Co-Chair of GW Bush's election efforts in Florida.
Bias:
Imbalance:prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.
lack of proportion or relation between corresponding things.
'Old Fashion' need not include irascible intransigent thinking. 'New Fashion' often includes Googling.
Even someone as dumb as Trump can grasp the relationship between 'bias', 'imbalance' and the USSC Bush v. Gore decision.
It means it is not in there, just like the president needing to show his taxes.What's that even mean?
Or, unjustified on their own demerits. I think we all agree that Republicans, in general, and McConnell and Graham in particular, are rank hypocrites on the subject, no? And, of course, that there is no functional difference between not filling available seats for partisan gain and adding seats for partisan gain, right? No gas involved. ("Packing" and "stacking" are functionally equivalent, and equally abusive of honor and good order. The effort to distinguish them is really hilarious, embarrassing, and truthfully, "gaslighting".)
No convincing you or Matt Gaetz differently. Matt never utilized political connections to evade a DUI conviction, right? Nothing racist about a town in Florida called Brooksville named after famous segregationist Preston Brooks, right? I mean Trump only took 58 out of 67 Florida counties in 2016. The Righteous Florida GOP could never ever outwit dem Evil DEMs in a Florida election. No GOP Sheriff or Supervisor Election would ever attempt to manipulate an election outcome, right? Former two term Governor, Rick Scott, now Florida's Junior Senator, never ever engaged in any kind of Medicare Fraud before becoming Governor, right?There was a full recount. It showed Bush would have won, even if the count hadn't been stopped.
To claim that some deep state conspiracy interfered with the 2000 US Presidential election is cray cray.
You are off the rails man. There is no deep state conspiracy to alter the 2000 US presidential election. It literally didn't happen. Your worries about some town in Florida named after some dude or some guy who wasn't found guilty of DUI has no bearing on the topic. People your age seem to often fall for conspiracy theories, and then ramble on about unrelated topics when asked for evidence. Something about being old. It'll be ok, your medicare will be fine Grandpa.No convincing you or Matt Gaetz differently. Matt never utilized political connections to evade a DUI conviction, right?

Give me a break! As someone born in Florida in 1956, graduated University of Florida, votes in Florida and considered Florida his home his entire life, I know better. I know Katherine Harris too.
IRL, not everyone can connect dots. IRL, controversy and the Bush v. Gore decision went hand-in-hand. You know the ins and outs of the DP CT section way way better than me.
Right. This is the door Harry Reid opened. He also passed the rule that allows it. PigeonsThe Republicans did not block the nominees "just because they could". The did so because the nominees did not align with their ideology, no different than the Democrats would have and have done.
Yes. Katherine Harris did her job correctly. It happens she probably enjoyed it, but that does not make it wrong. Bush won every count and every recount. It is not possible to honestly view the facts in any way but a Bush victory.Fair? They? If you liked the certification, major thanks go to Katherine Harris in her dual role as Florida Secretary of State (tasked with certifying the election) and Florida Co-Chair of the Elect GW Bush Campaign. Doh! Yeah, put a fox by a chicken cage and act confused later on when you find lots of blood, feathers and carcasses. Loudly proclaim "Nothing to see here folks!
McConnell did not change the rule. He took advantage of a rule change Harry Reid put in place.Changing the rules about filling court vacancies is court packing as well. McConnell changed the rules to fill the Scalia vacancy and then changed them again to fill RBG's vacancy. When you play fast and loose with the rules to suit your own purposes, you destroy them.
They did not steal anything.Call it whatever you want, I don't give a ****. You Repugs stole a Supreme Court seat in 2016 and now you're going to ****ing pay for it.
I love that you have the point going over your own head. That's classic.
This is perfect too. You trying to pin Gore's loss on Harris misses the point. Gore lost is the point.Doh! You continue to miss the relationship between Katherine Harris and certification of the 2000 Florida Election results. She wrapped up a pile of pooand declared it stink free! Wink wink!

The distinction is salient. In the same way that ballot harvesting must be distinguished from ballot stuffing, so too should be Court packing be distinguished from partisan withholding of consent to fill seats with partisans. But I can tell you are unmoved because you feel your side has taken it lying down for too long, so you feel you need to say to justify naked partisan power grabs as a "balancing of the scales", NWRatCon. Just do not presume to claim your politicians are any better in principle. You may say your goals are more laudable, but the methods by which you would wish to achieve them are no less foul.
The Republicans did not block the nominees "just because they could". The did so because the nominees did not align with their ideology, no different than the Democrats would have and have done. That is the nuance you seem to have a hard time finding.
That's kind of how your country started innit? Do Americans not read their own ****ing history? Why do I have to come here and remind them of the Boston Tea Party? Then there was that whole pesky civil war white wingers started because they wanted to maintain slavery. Burning down your cities because you guys keep letting cops murder black people is the nice version. Keep pushing people and see what happens. Black people in 2020 have had about enough of that shit.No, I mean the burning down of cities for months on end and throwing tantrums any time you do not get what you want. I would like you to show me when conservatives have done that in the last 100 years.
As usual, you dont know wtf you are talking about. Court packing is increasing the number of justices. Thats a fact that wont change no matter how much whining you doNope. Court packing is also violating Senate norms and traditions. Which is what Moscow Mitch and the Repugs did in 2016 with Merrick Garland. They literally stole a Supreme Court seat from Obama and the Democrats. That is court packing.
You get your ****ing facts straight.
No one said it was unconstitutional. BUt its good to know that when Trump is reelected you are all in for him adding more conservative justices to the SCCome now. We're not talking about breaking the law here. If congress creates more court positions, which legally it is entitled to do, Biden would have to fill them. It's all constitutional. That's what Republicans taught us. If it's constitutional, it must be okay.
Right. Blacks want to be slaughtered only by other blacks. They love that ****.That's kind of how your country started innit? Do Americans not read their own ****ing history?

I got some bad news for you. 1) the election hasnt happened yet. 2) Biden is playing his angry hateful base for the suckers that they are. He is not going to pack the court. He just cant say it because he needs the unhinged to vote for him.Call it whatever you want, I don't give a ****. You Repugs stole a Supreme Court seat in 2016 and now you're going to ****ing pay for it.
