Yeah, seven years later
Priceless that you don’t know SCOTUS judges aren’t appointed by the President. Oh that’s right you do know that, but in this case Trump appointed them all.
Then he knew his 3 “appointments” would all be alive whenever a state brought a case to the Supreme Court.
Did Obama appoint Sotomayor and Kayan? Biden just appoint Jackson? Or did have to go before the Senate to be confirmed?
Yes your ignorance knows no equal. You admit to the process, the dismiss it because it doesn’t suit your opinion. Even when you know you knowingly know you’re wrong.As I said: priceless.
DS
But your little sycophants will still give you a tick of approval.
But we know why, they like to agree even when they know you’re wrong, just because your reply is addressed to me.
It's true DS, nobody knew.Haha, Willo really believes that no-one knew that states would challenge Roe v Wade when the numbers on the Supreme Court were tipped in favour of the anti-choice lobby.
He also seems to think you have to be Nostradamus to predict how potential judges would vote on a case when brought.
Yes, along with everyone else with an IQ higher than their shoe size, Trump knew certain states would bring a case and try to get it to the Supreme Court and he knew (because he appointed them) how the new judges would rule on a case to overturn Roe v Wade.
As I said: priceless.
DS
No doubt you all knew 5
years ago.
But none of the TDS clan knew Trump going to be re-elected in a landslide a month ago.
Or Biden was going to get the arse
But apparently Trump has been the only President ever allowed to directly appoint SCOTUS justices. They must have changed the Constitution back and forward 3 times 
David and the rest of the TDS must appreciate how far seeing Trump is. No wonder those darn Dems stole the last election
It’s no wonder the Dems got the flick and Trump won in a landslide.
But keep bleating

Apologies Willo, while I was still posting on this thread, I hadn't mentioned Trump for a few days.

Yes he's essentially brigading this thread now just like he did to the US election thread resulting in it getting locked.
How pathetic. What a sad sack.
“Brigading” is that a word?
No the US Election thread got locked because sooks kept running back and complaining to the mods.
When posters can’t debate and get soon found out when they have no substance it’s easy work. There were even posts from whining why it couldn’t be locked
It must have been to hard to stay away. Then they sneak on this thread or the Elon Musk thread . Then they want to start their bleating again. All the while it took a lot of fun away from quite a few posters.
Mob of misery gutses and party poopers. I hope the mods just tell you “if you can’t stand the heat….go and make a *smile* sandwich”

But no, I don’t mention him every post. I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate.
Or if you’re just knowingly telling fibs, you’ll have to change…to tigermandavesss or something similar
Posts #25,012, 25,014, 25,017, 25,025 which you replied to, 25,031, 25,061, 25,081
Plenty of them without one mention of him, different subjects as well. And that’s only the last 5 pages.
I wonder how many of your posts mention him?

True he doesn't mention Trump every post. Sometimes he refers to him as GOD, Chosen One or Our Saviour.No need to apologise. We know you’ll more than make up for it.

Now you’re just telling porkies loveydovey. Actually no, you’re telling flat out lies about me. You naughty person.
You’ll fit in well with the other dimwits who tell blatant lies.
Pity some of you can’t actually mount any accurate or truthful arguments, or know how to debate,knowing you’ll be sitting there like a pile of macrame rugs.
Even when you know what the truth is, you’re prepared to knowingly lie rather than acknowledge I was right. It says a lot about your own morals and standards. Actually it’s funny when you keep the emu act going.
You’d rather just the usual weak little potshots. Feel free to keep them coming, it’s really amusing to see the gang pop in and take aim.
Mods should really keep some of these little kids off the adult threads.No doubt you’ll be getting some complaints from the sooks. I hope the mods just advise them to stay away when they’re outnumbered 1 to their 50
We need something similar in Australia. Stop the exhorbinant waste of taxpayer money.
It’s not government money. It might be government spending it and they should be accountable..
A massive saving on government waste would allow and free up money for hospitals, public housing, infrastructure.
The only reason any government would never have such a department is they wouldn’t want any oversight to how they spend, waste only or pork barrel.
Otherwise imagine the savings and the investment those savings allow.
Saddest part of the announcement is that "Department of Government Efficiency", or DOGE, is a direct reference to the Crypto Musk has been pushing for a while, Dogecoin.
I'm genuinely sorry if a little joke has you so triggered. Let me get AI to summarise your short story. I don't give a frog's for US politics. I'm not in any fictionaI gang. I am, however, intrigued when Trump apologetics get incensed over lies from the other side when we have possibly the most-incessant lying public figure ever to grace this earth. Human psychology is fascinating.Now you’re just telling porkies loveydovey. Actually no, you’re telling flat out lies about me. You naughty person.

More Democrats fear the party's image isn't just damaged – it's broken
Everyone agrees they lost the working class, but they’re deeply divided on where to place the blame — and what to do about it.
Democrats are having a full-blown identity crisis.
Days after Kamala Harris’ defeat, the extent of their party’s failure is becoming increasingly clear. It’s bad enough that Democrats are still losing working-class whites, as they have in recent elections. Now, exit polls show blue-collar Latinos and some Black men, long a core part of the Democratic base, are abandoning the party, too, fueling electoral shellackings. Republicans flipped the Senate and are paddingtheir majority. Democrats’ path to a majority in the House is narrowing. And Donald Trump won in what could only be described as a landslide in the modern era.
“The Democratic Party needs to be rebuilt,” said Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. “We have become a party of elites, whether we abandoned working-class people, whether they abandoned us, whether it’s some combination of all of the above.”
In interviews with 16 elected officials, party leaders and strategists, Democrats from both wings of the party agreed they have stopped knowing how to talk to the working class, once the very core of their identity. But they were deeply divided on where to place the blame — and what to do about it. Just like Donald Trump’s victory did in 2016 — and in 2020, when he lost by a smaller margin than expected — his return to the White House is fueling a raging debate between the party’s progressive and moderate wings about where to go from here.
Sen. Bernie Sanders fired the opening shot in that clash on Wednesday, saying on X that “it should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.”
The fight over the next chair of the Democratic National Committee is one of the first arenas where the party will hash out its future under Trump 2.0. Some progressives are floating Wisconsin Democratic Party leader Ben Wikler. Jayapal said she’d “love to see somebody” who is “like a Ben Wikler.” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and Minnesota Democratic Party head Ken Martin are also rumored potential candidates.
But first, Democrats must survey the wreckage from Tuesday. Some moderate Democrats are blaming Harris’ erosion with non-college-educated and lower-income voters on a party they say has drifted too far to the left, arguing that its association with immigration reform, transgender rights and abortion access hamstrung them in swing areas.
Rep. Henry Cuellar, who won a hard-fought election in Texas border counties that Trump carried, said that the border was a major liability for battleground House members. There has long been an “undercurrent of tension” among Latinos in his district, Cuellar said, who are frustrated by the support the federal government has given to undocumented immigrants, in the form of food, shelter and health care.
This year, “the dam busted here where all of a sudden people said enough is enough” and voted for Trump, Cuellar said. “Some of us have been talking about border security for a long time.”
Some progressive and populist-oriented Democrats also felt a kind of vindication. They said the party should have long ago adopted a more muscular economic message.
The Democratic Party has faced crises before, most recently after Hillary Clinton’s defeat in 2016. But that year, many Democrats — and some Republicans — dismissed Trump’s victory as lacking a popular mandate. This year, his election by even wider margin. The party now is less in disbelief than in a tailspin — and with an emerging consensus that its image is not just damaged, but broken.
Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), a progressive who represents the blue city of Austin some 150 miles from Cuellar’s hometown of Laredo, said Democrats need to “build a new
Other Democrats, too, argue that where Trump has tapped into the frustrations of the working class in a way that feels organic, Democrats have come across as too erudite, to the point that working-class voters feel like they’re being talked down to.

It looks like the Democrats are going to have to have a major overhaul.
Even the Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus now admits them to being a party of “elites”.
Which when I stated that Obama, HClinton, Pelosi and co all ran the Party, selected their puppets Biden and Harris and ruled the Administration it was dismissed. Now, there’s validation.
A forensic introspection of their core beliefs.and who and what they stand for. So many former Democrats have all voiced how the current leadership has led the Party away from their core beliefs. They can’t all be wrong. Meanwhile the leadership is raking in money hand over fist.
Get rid of the leadership of the corrupt elites who are only about delivering for the weapon manufacturers and getting their kickbacks. Do some research for yourselves. Don’t just ride the bandwagon like the other lemmings.
