Trump MAGAThread V: March Comes In Like A Lion

[Lady Scylla]

That's the problem

I won't disagree.

He's following through on the bread and circuses, and any promise he made that might lead to some positive change in the country he's taking out back while loading his shotgun.

He appointed a good judge for SCOTUS, that's gotta count as some positive change.

Polished shit is still shit, even if it does look pretty.

[United City States of Oceania]

I'd say axing TPP was pretty swamp-draining.

While filling it up with all the swamp monsters.

Isn't appoint former Goldman Sachs and Exxon-Mobil executives the to top jobs the opposite of draining the swamp?

He appointed a good judge for SCOTUS, that's gotta count as some positive change.

I know you like him and all, but have you actually looked into some of his rulings? Like ruling in favor of a company over their freezing employee? Or whatever that was. There seems to be some pretty serious problems with him in some areas.

Yes I've done a fair bit research into his rulings, and I agree with most of them I've seen and I think he'll be a fantastic Justice. A handful of cases I disagree with aren't enough for me to change my opinion on him.

Yes, appointing Scalia 2.0 into a SCOTUS position that should have been filled by Obama sure is positive.

From where I'm standing it is. Sure it was scummy as fuck what the GOP did but I still see him as a positive.

[Corrian]

Gotta low the people that have a problem with celebrities voted in one.

...What?

That sentence was kind of strung together. People bitch about celebrities "having opinions" instead of just being entertainment, while electing a celebrity with an opinion that decided running for President was a good idea.

[Luminesa]

Well, true, but anytime Hillary is criticized, people seem to simply shout back, "BUT TRUMP IS EVIL."

I think you've jumped over the ledge before anyone else did. While true that people do that (over both Trump and Hillary) -- it doesn't negate the actions of the one or the other. Just because a murderer kills a bunch of people, doesn't mean I'm allowed to. The same applies here.

Oh, I agree. I'm just in the middle, myself.

[Camicon]

Yes, appointing Scalia 2.0 into a SCOTUS position that should have been filled by Obama sure is positive.

Rewarding the kind of tantrum-throwing shitfits that the Republicans threw for a whole year is not a positive thing.

Trump should've nominated Garland. Might have even been able to pass Trumpcare on the first go-around if he did that.

Eh. I guess we'll see, but I don't have my hopes up on his rulings in areas like corporations and social territories.

I would laugh so hard if Trump had picked him.

He should have nominated Garland.

So the Senate could finally vote no and then put Gorsuch on anyways

Trump was actually a New York City Liberal once.

It would have been the ultimate plot twist if Trump nominated the Obama nominee...
But that would have never happened.

Hey, if that's where the cards fell, fine. Even if it failed, it would have helped the country reconcile after such a divisive campaign.

Of course not, he's too stupid to see the benefits.

For what it's worth even if I don't like Garland and don't want him on the court I still think he should have got a hearing. I think he should have gotten a no vote but he shouldn't have been entirely ignored. That was some real fuckery on the GOP's part and I'm not down with that kind of behavior.

Was it ever decided if they could even do that?

I dunno actually. There was a lot of interesting questions about that but I don't think they ever got any answers.

There would have been too much risk of him actually being confirmed if he had gone through the whole process. Republicans are not known for their spines.

[Austria-Bohemia-Hungary]

Promising to do X, then doing exactly the opposite of X is incompatible with honesty, especially in the superlative form.

I'd say axing TPP was pretty swamp-draining.

And then we have DeVos whose family literally bought her her cabinet position.

He seems to flip-flop a lot. Like Mitt. >.<

While true I just really can't support it.

Either way hopefully Gorsuch gets on the court soon, hopefully with another originalist joining in a year or two.

It is similar to that of him being on a trampoline, he bounces from one place to another.

I certainly hope not.

Well, we did shut down the government more than once out of spite...
