If the Dems hypothetically had a majority would you care if they stopped Trump from appointing a Justice? I dont think so.

Actually, it is their right to give consent to a nominee. It's not their job to be the President's rubber stamp. I would still feel the same way if the Democrats were the majority.

There is a difference between approving nominees and being a rubber stamp. They just decided to be obstructionist assholes.
The GOP refused to even hold hearings on Garland. They basically said they did not give a fuck and banked on the fact they would win the election. They did not do their job.
Even if they "have a right" to do it, its not right to do it.

Hillary Clinton did not want a war with Iran (at least not right away), but she did want a war with Russia, which might have lead to WWIII. The only reason why her husband did not start a war with Russia when he was the President was because during the 1990s Russia was weak and obedient, but he did start wars with many other countries.

i fucking care.

Saudi Arabia and at least 2/3 of the countries in the ME are just fucking lines on a map.

Iran is an actual nation state with a people willing to fight and die and has a history of doing so FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

No, you were talking about your feelings about what the Senate did. I acknowledge that what they didn't wasn't technically "wrong", but I still hate that they did it.

I didn't give my opinion on the matter one way or another, but if you were to ask me I'd say I support it.

When Neville Chamberlain went to war with Germany, it wasn't formally declared world war two. A war against Iran could be part of a larger WWIII scenario, however.

Yeah Clinton the war president, never has there been so much war. Russia was actually by any estimate the weakest at this point, but the warmongering Clinton didn't wan't to go to war with Russia because Russia was to weak.

Bill Clinton did start a war in Somalia (actually, more like another front in a war) which was quite serious and bloody. For example, the movie Black Hawk Down has a prologue scene where US Delta troops capture an entire convoy of "bad guys" by merely shooting the engine of one of their cars. That movie is loosely based on real events, but in reality, they were chasing a single car rather inefficiently and in that chase numerous people got wounded or killed.

That's not what i meant. I stated that Clinyon did not start a war with Russia because back then Russia was weak and ready to obey anybody, but he did start wars in other countries.
