We hurt their feelings so hard that they ran out of the building to cry before coming back to cast their votes. :(

56 years since the Republican party became reborn in the conservative movement the Supreme Court is now as conservative as it has been since FDR. We are making Ronald Reagan proud.

On the 56th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's speech: "A Time of Choosing", I want you all to take solace in this moment and review his speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXBswFfh6AY

Think hard about what is at stake in this election. So much in this country has changed in the last 56 years. Many of you like Ronald Reagan are former Democrats. All of you I believe see what Donald Trump has done for America. I remind you that this is the time to run out and do everything you can to get him reelected. If we lose momentum now, like FDR they could do whatever they can to unwind everything we've built. The only way to ensure they have no power to do so is to vote. Share this speech and this message with whoever you can.

Remember:

We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.

“If we lose freedom here, there, is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man’s relation to man.”

This is the issue of this election: whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.

You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down: [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.

In this vote-harvesting time, they use terms like the ["Green New Deal]," or as we were told a few days ago by the [former Vice-]President, we must accept a greater government activity in the affairs of the people. But they've been a little more explicit in the past and among themselves; and all of the things I now will quote have appeared in print. These are not Republican accusations. For example, they have voices that say, "The cold war will end through our acceptance of a not undemocratic socialism." Another voice says, "The profit motive has become outmoded. It must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state." Or, "Our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the complex problems of the [21st] century." Senator [Sanders] has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. He referred to the [former Vice-]President as "our moral teacher and our leader," and he says he is "hobbled in his task by the restrictions of power imposed on him by this antiquated document." He must "be freed," so that he "can do for us" what he knows "is best." And Senator [Schumer] of [New York], another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as "meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government."

Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.

Now it doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people. What does it mean whether you hold the deed to the -- or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property? And such machinery already exists. The government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute. Every businessman has his own tale of harassment. Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.

Our Democratic opponents seem unwilling to debate these issues. They want to make you and I believe that this is a contest between two men -- that we're to choose just between two personalities.

Well what of this man that they would destroy -- and in destroying, they would destroy that which he represents, the ideas that you and I hold dear? Is he the brash and shallow and trigger-happy man they say he is? Well I've been privileged to know him "when." I knew him long before he ever dreamed of trying for high office, and I can tell you personally I've never known a man in my life I believed so incapable of doing a dishonest or dishonorable thing.

You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin -- just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it's a simple answer after all.

You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." "There is a point beyond which they must not advance." And this -- this is the meaning in the phrase of [Donald Trump]'s "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said, "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits -- not animals." And he said, "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness. We will keep in mind and remember that [Donald Trump] has faith in us. He has faith that you and I have the ability, and the dignity, and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny.

The issues at stake in this election are the same as they always have been. The tactics the same. If we lose this election, they will pack the court and undue what we have done setting us back half a century. They will pass more welfare legislation, flood our cities with foreign immigrants who want nothing more than to join with a growing COMMUNIST movement in our nation and increase socialism and break our way of life to the very foundation. They have been using the same playbook for one hundred years. And they will likely be using it for one hundred more if we do not keep putting them back in the dust-bin of history.

Do not fail to vote.

YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. THERE IS NO WHERE TO RUN. FACE THE CANCER AND DEFEAT IT NOT WITH FORCE ARMS BUT WITH FORCE OF VOTES!

We are not done yet. We are just getting started. VOTE! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Done deal!

We should draw attention to her internalized misogyny.

She is THE definition of a Republican In Name Only.

The Whore of New England!

She's a sexist, she's jealous that other woman succeed.

Just remember she helped on Kavanaugh. Just saying.

Actually when there is a LOT more salt, you need to short salt, not invest in it!

I like salt on my crackers.

VOTER ID DAY ONE!

Could GEOTUS get 4 supreme court picks? 86 is a hard sell

...men not living as long as women.

You gotta apply the diabeetus factor to the wise latina.

Or Sotomayor' diabeetus

Force everyone to register again in order to vote federal candidates. That will get around the persnickity states rights issue to determine their own elections. Just make that mandatory for federal and it forces it whether places like Cook County IL and King County WA and Philly like it or not.

MUH SCOTUS AHH CAHHH

THREE TERMS****

They were testing poorly with voters so DNC stopped them

They called a riot lid until Nov 3rd.

They ended up rioting over some dude who got shot, while charging at two police officers with a knife.

Bruh are you suggesting wymyn are immune from being protested at? I swear to God you guys are adopting leftist view more each day.

Don't get me wrong I'm very happy she got confirmed and will indulge in the salt, just pointing out which direction we're headed and my disapproval of it.

Throw his ass out anyway

I figured but I was a bit worried, ngl thought some shenanigans was going to go down

Can't be a RINO for long if term limits are enacted 😁

Exactly. Anyone says the supreme court is 6-3 now is full of shit.
