And Ted, at the very least, is always talking about the right things. I'll never forget during IG Horowitz's testimony both Republican and Democrat senators were hyper focused on wether bias or no bias was involved. Ted was the only senator who sat up there and said hold on you spied on an American citizen using doctored evidence while also withholding exculpatory evidence.
There are many more instances but that one will always stick with me.
TZK is at least a fucking shitposter. And he IS always talking about the right things at the right time.
Theres a lot of people who don't bark and spit fire all the time like Gaetz and Nunez but when they do, they tend to influence the general direction of the narrative such as:
I’m embarrassed that I trusted Gowdy for so long. During all the Clinton shit he seemed like one of the only people interested in the truth, now he’s going out of his way to avoid the truth.
Tbh I think he’s always been deep state and was just putting on a good show. I don’t know how else you can go from that level of conviction to saying James Comey and the FBI are on the right side of history.
I was fooled too, no shame. He was just playing his part for the cameras like most of them IMO. And whaddaya know? He now has a semi-regular and what I’m sure is a cushy spot on FOX.
Gowdy is controlled opposition. He always has been. As a politician he talked just enough truth to keep his constituents voting for him. He played a skillful game in being the voice of the opposition during the Clinton mess, so there was no need to have someone who really wanted to get to the bottom of things to take the lead instead.
As soon as he left the House to go to Fox news, his entire facade crumbled.
Eh, I don't know if he always has been. And I don't know if he's controlled opposition as in behind-the-scenes people were controlling him. Maybe.
But I made up my mind on him when he left to go be on fucking television. He had momentum and he was getting recognition. He had a chance to be a top conservative leader if he wanted it. Instead of took a paycheck so he could work less and do absolutely nothing except talk.
So either/or. Controlled op or sellout. Doesn't really matter. He's an embarrassment.
He's hot air. Gowdy also played along with the Russia investigation as if there were legitimate reasons behind it when supposedly he knew very early on it was predicated on bull shit
"I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got, and that it has nothing to do with Donald Trump," the South Carolina Republican said in an interview on Fox News.
Keep in mind, Gowdy had clearance to see the unredacted files, he was on oversight and intelligence committees and should have known just how flimsy the “evidence” was and seen the corruption in the FBI. It’s either incompetence or malice, and having watched him doggedly pursue hilldawg I doubt it’s incompetence.
That’s just one example, he’s said a few things since Trump took office that have made me question his loyalty.
Gowdy means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes / When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives- ...wait, um... ...music center of my brain overreacting again.
The DNC is also moving way left and hemorrhaging black and latino voters who are now supporting Trump. Another Trump term could change the political landscape for decades.
Look up "Patriot Party". I personally haven't researched it much yet but, word on the street is that it already has the backing of 2 million Vets & Active duty Military & LEOs..
They can't stop us from congregating. Its going to happen no matter if the GOP supports it or not. They can get on the train or git the fuck out th'way.
I gained to much respect for Cruz after trump won. Trump embarrassed them all on that stage and Ted was smart enough to realize that being a rhino is not what this new Republican Party was going to want so he joined the trump train.
He's said before that he would likely reject a nomination not only because he feels he's more valued in the senate, but also because, despite his certainty that he'd rule fairly and in line with the Constitution, he wouldn't want to taint the court with the perception of political boas since so much of his image is involved heavily in the political sphere.
Why’s it that only right wingers care about “political bias” and meanwhile leftists don’t care? Right wingers are trying to play by leftists rules and leftists play by no rules themselves.
That disgusting, obese, degenerate, diabetic, racist whore on the bench literally said that her opinions were worth more because she wasn't white.
"A wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life," Sotomayor said.
Fucking tired of us fighting with one arm willingly tied behind our backs.
The brown nationalism is to make you disavow your partial white blood and European culture. The brown nationalism and idea of brown solidarity between Hispanics and blacks is also made to make you disavow your varying amounts European heritage, and to forget that everything that makes ANY Latin American culture great is because of Europe. Everything remotely rich or beautiful about Mexico, Brazil, Chile, or Argentina Is because of varying European cultures. And the cornerstone of all Latino cultures, Catholicism, is because of Europe.
I'll go ahead and add, there's a hidden agenda for the past few decades to make Hispanics more brown. One, advocacy for skin care and sunscreen directed towards Hispanics is non existent. If I had been properly SPFing since childhood, I'd be really really white. Two, assimilating Hispanics into black urban culture is needed to destroy the European culture Hispanics share, but also to increase the likelihood that Hispanics marry blacks and have children with them.
This is why young latinos are pretty much identical to blacks.It will essentially will lead to a future where Hispanics are more black than white or Indian. It also collectively lowers literacy and IQ while increasing poverty and crime statistics amongst Hispanics
It's diabolical, and all Hispanics should fight to reclaim their 30 to 80% European heritage and essential whiteness. If Hispanics can get to where Greeks or Italians are, the DNC will no longer be able to enslave us.
Honestly I’m a little glad it took me this long to become aware because I can’t imagine watching this slow burn over the last years. Being called racist now is irritating, when most of the country was agreeing ho-lee fuck how did these patriots stand their ground?
I've known about the white genocide for about 15 years now. It was unknown by the masses at that time. It was so frustrating to think you see something that nobody else sees.
In the last few years I've seen countless people waking up to it. It gives me hope that there's a chance.
Imagine being redpilled about the MSM for literally decades and a bunch of idiots take till 20-fucking-16 to even remotely start to see the problem. And the entirety of "actual" conservative media just regurgitates media stories, like Rush.
"Have you heard the latest commie demoralization piece from news outlet XYZ? Don't worry we are going to talk about it for the next 3 hours."
A bunch of weak faggots that never talk about action because larping as a news anchor pays better.
Rush is literally RINO Prime. He spends 3hrs a day parroting the MSM in between sucking Apples balls.
Did you listen to his George Floyd piece? For a guy that says he is hip to the MSM propaganda, for some reason he bought the MSM's bullshit hook, line, and sinker. Of course he knows better, so it really makes you think why he did it.
It's not just ethics. He's right. They exempt themselves from the rules they write. And then they ignore the rules when they want to and nothing ever happens to them.
Ethics don't help you much against someone who would seriously enjoy seeing you tortured to death. War is hell for good people because you can't win it without doing terrible things to other people. They enjoy the idea of war as long as it benefits them. Don't project your personal goodness on them. They are not good people at heart. It's a terrible truth, but it is the truth.
It's Alinsky's Rule No. 4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." Conservatives play by the rules because they believe in them. The Left knows this and turns our moral integrity against us. "Play nice so we can walk all over you. If you fight back you're Nazis.".
The left has always had better marketing. Until Trump. They’ve gotten away with identifying themselves with progress toward the future and Republicans with the old, crusty past, and the media has been wholeheartedly complicit.
I think its less caring about the bias, and moreso caring about the fact that it (unfortunately) provides more ammo to the left.
I'm not one to argue that we shouldn't get muddy as fuck if the left insists on bringing in tractors of mud to the fight.
That said, one of the reasons conservatism is inherently better than progressivism is the fact that we at least acknowledge and stick to base principles.
I personally don't give a shit about perception beyond how they affect optics, and even then it's only really a problem when it comes to elections.
He was always cool. Trump just knew how to defeat him and we didn’t like that Cruz was the one guy left in Trump’s way. Frankly, Cruz was the only one who deserved to be anywhere near Trump in the primary.
Never forget that Cruz famously refused to attack Trump in the first several debates, when everyone else was. Cruz was actually the first to defend Trump by calling out the moderators for asking Trump if he was “a clown candidate”.
He was also playing the part of typical politician, afraid to say what he thought might hurt feelings, circle around with political doublespeak, and just generally came across as non-genuine.
Everyone was playing the part of typical politician. That’s what makes Trump so revolutionary. He single handedly ended the era of phony politicians, and taught most of the how to win. The best part is that it’s going to take the Democrats at least another 10 years to catch on, maybe much longer.
Cruz was always the smartest guy in the room. He cut his teeth on Bush era politics. He learned how to speak that language and run that playbook.
Trump threw him for a loop. Hell, Trump threw everyone for a loop. It took Cruz a little bit to recalibrate, but he did. There are some (i.e. the lazy Never-Trumper grifter class) who never did.
Cruz doesn't have the instinct that Trump does. Trump is teaching him how to be a MAGA politician. Cruz would never have gotten there on his own. Because he's so traditionally intelligent, he's grown up able to adapt to any situation he's thrown into, and more quickly than most. But he can't play things from the gut like Trump can.
I remember that too, but I am pretty sure that the reason that he is now on the list is because he changed his mind about that. There is no way Trump would have put him on the list if he thought that Cruz would deny a nomination.
Pussy Ted the YT star. Mark Dice called Ted out. Ted is no lion. The CANT party could do with some real patriots who will really fight for America. Pussy T ain't one of them.
Although she has to have a certain level of competency, it's literally because she's a woman. It's identity politics. Replace a woman with a woman. Nominate an anti-abortion judge who is a woman.
I doubt she's THAT much better than every other option in the country where she would have to be the first pick.
I don' know, they'd been doing it since before Kavanugh, even.
I don't like this whole "must replace woman with woman" mentality, like we can never have fewer women (and likely by extension minorities) on the bench at any time, only more.
I hate identity politics. Thomas isn't my favorite current sitting judge because he's black.
Tough call for me but I think a guaranteed MAGA Supreme Court vote outweighs his current position as a senator and co-host of the “number one conservative podcast in the nation”
Yeah I'm on board with him on the Supreme Court. I'm not a fan of a some of his very hard religious centered beliefs, but those same beliefs are what would make him a great conservative justice on the courts. Sort of a balance of power if you will because he would be a very strong conservative voice on the courts, but he would not have unilateral authority. One thing about Ted is that he's very consistent in his personal interpretation of the constitution, I believe he strives for. fairness and I can respect that a great deal.
I agree with your take and can think of little I'd enjoy more than breaking Jim Acosta's knees. KayMac is the only person I've seen handle a WH press conference on par with DJT, and she does it completely differently, of course. I hope they continue to tag team each other, keeping either from burning out.
Or better yet let no one else in the room besides Chanel Rion and KayMac, with DJT popping in whenever he wants. We'd find out 10x more.
I never would have thought hearing the names of possible Supreme Court justices being read by the president would be like hearing names of first round draft picks. But I never cared about draft picks.
Or would I have thought to tune in to press briefings and news conferences by the President exciting either. But here we are.
I never would have thought hearing the names of possible Supreme Court justices being read by the president would be like hearing names of first round draft picks.
Right?! My first thought was that I need to pick who I’m gonna bet on.
He definitely deserves a shot at leadership. He has earned my respect over the years. After the 2016 primaries, he was under a lot of pressure to go the nevertrump route. He resisted and became one of Trump's biggest allies. He was there when we needed him and I will never forget that.
Trump burned him up pretty bad, and as a Cruz guy, it pissed me off. I actually thought that Cruz did the best thing with his convention speech, and we all needed some time to heal from that fight. I was actually pissed when Cruz endorsed Trump later on, but I now understand that it was for the best. Cruz has been a great ally for the president, and the president has been the greatest force for good in a generation (something that I didn’t believe in 2016).
That said, LOTS and LOTS of us conservatives and Trump supporters have STILL not registered to vote. Even some Democrats who are switching sides have not registered. Do not assume that your state is safe, even local elections count as we have seen over the past 6 months!
Check your status, register yourselves and get others who are passionate about Trump and conservative values if you or they haven't yet registered:
Please, no. These Republican presidents have to STOP pulling administration-friendly members of congress out of their effective positions to accept cabinet positions, ambassadorships, and now SCOTUS appointments.
I loathed this man. Then he lost to Trump. And instead of being a bitter bitch about it, he transformed himself into Lion Ted. Loyal, trustworthy, fearless. I could see myself voting for him as President in 2024.
No. I'm going to get slammed for this, but I don't care.
First, he failed to support Trump during the RNC convention prior to the election. Any sane conservative would realize the only chance to stack the SCOTUS with conservative justices would be to win the presidency, otherwise, Hillary would be appointing them -- and yet he refused to do it. And now he wants to be appointed to the same SCOTUS that he jeopardized by not supporting Trump when it mattered.
Second, Trump implied Cruz's father helped in the assassination of JFK. That may mean Cruz's entire family is part of the CIA just like the Bush clan is/was.
Third, he made Phyllis Schlafly's life a living hell and drove her to an early grave, ripping her life's work out of her hands and turning her own daughter against her, simply because she endorsed Trump instead of him. Cruz gutted her Eagles Forum mailing list and she died within a month of going to court over and over defending her right to continue managing the Eagle forum.
Fourth, he was using every dirty trick in the book against Trump, installing his own electors who would revolt against Trump and vote for Cruz, even though Trump won the state. They were tactics of a sleazeball.
Fifth, he was a Nevertrumper until almost the end, prior to the election. If you're faced with Hillary as POTUS (would have been the end of this country) and you can't bring yourself to lift a finger to do anything about it until its almost too late, you're not really a conservative.
Rush limbaugh would be a great pick. He wouldn't even have to serve more than a day before retirement, and it would still be historic. His confirmation hearings would be epic. Every time a dem started a monologue or bullshit question, he could just interrupt them midway with an answer to an unrelated question. And then blame his cochlear implant. Shit, please me God-Emperor Space Cowboy Doctor President Trump, please oh please hear my prayers.
We need justices like this who truly understand the law and will interpret it correctly, we will always have someone who can say the same things from a political standpoint
Good! He’s annoying. Get him out of politics so he doesn’t run for President in 2024 and then lose in the General. He can’t win a General, too unlikable.
Good thing Trump will probably get 2 justices. First replace RBG with ACB. Then whoever is next with Cruz. I think Clarence Thomas might retire during Trump’s second term and I can’t think of a better replacement than Ted.
Good point. I was about to disagree, but in the battle to win hearts and minds it’s a good short term strategy towards building a future where such strategies wouldn’t be necessary.
Please not Ted. He'd be a great justice, but he'd have to shut up and we need his voice on this side of the bench.
People rip on Ted for being all talk, but consider that the majority of GOP politicians aren't even willing to do that.
And Ted, at the very least, is always talking about the right things. I'll never forget during IG Horowitz's testimony both Republican and Democrat senators were hyper focused on wether bias or no bias was involved. Ted was the only senator who sat up there and said hold on you spied on an American citizen using doctored evidence while also withholding exculpatory evidence.
There are many more instances but that one will always stick with me.
unlike that piece of shit gowdy.
TZK is at least a fucking shitposter. And he IS always talking about the right things at the right time.
Theres a lot of people who don't bark and spit fire all the time like Gaetz and Nunez but when they do, they tend to influence the general direction of the narrative such as:
James Woods
Chuck Woolery
Mike Huckabee
Dinesh D'Souza
I’m embarrassed that I trusted Gowdy for so long. During all the Clinton shit he seemed like one of the only people interested in the truth, now he’s going out of his way to avoid the truth.
Fucking shameful.
Wonder what they have on Gowdy?
Tbh I think he’s always been deep state and was just putting on a good show. I don’t know how else you can go from that level of conviction to saying James Comey and the FBI are on the right side of history.
Yep, he's getting paid by someone else now. Fucking lawyers
Maxwell knows
I wonder why he cuts his hair with a weed whacker.
It's a pedophile haircut. There, I said it.
This guy gets it. Gowdy is compromised just like Chief Justice Roberts is compromised. The list is a lot longer too.
Agreed. Gowdy was tilting at windmills and I am embarrassed to admit I spectated his delivery.
I was fooled too, no shame. He was just playing his part for the cameras like most of them IMO. And whaddaya know? He now has a semi-regular and what I’m sure is a cushy spot on FOX.
Gowdy is controlled opposition. He always has been. As a politician he talked just enough truth to keep his constituents voting for him. He played a skillful game in being the voice of the opposition during the Clinton mess, so there was no need to have someone who really wanted to get to the bottom of things to take the lead instead.
As soon as he left the House to go to Fox news, his entire facade crumbled.
Eh, I don't know if he always has been. And I don't know if he's controlled opposition as in behind-the-scenes people were controlling him. Maybe.
But I made up my mind on him when he left to go be on fucking television. He had momentum and he was getting recognition. He had a chance to be a top conservative leader if he wanted it. Instead of took a paycheck so he could work less and do absolutely nothing except talk.
So either/or. Controlled op or sellout. Doesn't really matter. He's an embarrassment.
He's hot air. Gowdy also played along with the Russia investigation as if there were legitimate reasons behind it when supposedly he knew very early on it was predicated on bull shit
Because he went from public servant to media swamp, that's why. What kind of patriot would do such a thing?
https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/29/politics/trey-gowdy-fbi-confidential-source-trump-russia/index.html
Keep in mind, Gowdy had clearance to see the unredacted files, he was on oversight and intelligence committees and should have known just how flimsy the “evidence” was and seen the corruption in the FBI. It’s either incompetence or malice, and having watched him doggedly pursue hilldawg I doubt it’s incompetence.
That’s just one example, he’s said a few things since Trump took office that have made me question his loyalty.
he's not even doing that, he's just going around hoc'ing his book.
absolutely nothing.
Gowdy means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes / When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives- ...wait, um... ...music center of my brain overreacting again.
I didn't know Chuck was based. Back in 2&2!
Talk is cheap. Words become even cheaper when they fall on deaf ears.
And that's sad. We need a better class of Republican candidates
Or maybe we just need a new party....
Trump's working on it - a new Republican party.
.
The DNC is also moving way left and hemorrhaging black and latino voters who are now supporting Trump. Another Trump term could change the political landscape for decades.

I would let him retire if in exchange he heads up the GOP after he leaves office.
Look up "Patriot Party". I personally haven't researched it much yet but, word on the street is that it already has the backing of 2 million Vets & Active duty Military & LEOs..
They can't stop us from congregating. Its going to happen no matter if the GOP supports it or not. They can get on the train or git the fuck out th'way.

My body is certainly ready
That too
Or at the very least, Republicans with testicles.
Josh Hawley types. MAGA candidates are winning primaries without GOPe. This session of Congress might look different in the house at least.
From your lips (keyboard) to God's ears (screen).
Josh Hawkeye will cuck.
Quick Question: How can the Zodiac Killer become a Supreme Court Justice??
Just Sayin...
You don't think he would be a perfect Justice? I think the Zodiac killer thing gives him a great background and singular perspective.
I think he could definitely Return Some Video Tapes.

There's something brewing just beneath the surface with Ted. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gk6h7Ps2lI
its herstory
Yes, the kind without horns.
I don't get that logic frankly.
He's a Senator. He's drafted bills that are pro-MAGA and he's voted for every single pro-MAGA bill that came to the floor.
...what else is he to do but talk? He's doing literally everything he can.
I'm in favor! They have legal immunity while on duty on the floor. Why let the Brits have all the fun? I challenge Spartacus!
Ted Has Backed Trump Full Throated Even After Trump Ripped in in the 2016 Elections.
2020 Trump is a more refined version of 2016 Trump. He needed to be 2016 Trump to get to be 2020 Trump
I gained to much respect for Cruz after trump won. Trump embarrassed them all on that stage and Ted was smart enough to realize that being a rhino is not what this new Republican Party was going to want so he joined the trump train.

My kid's school is closed. I have to wear a mask to buy beer. If I take a wrong turn in my city I could be dragged out of my car and kicked to death.
And I live in Texas.
We haven't defeated shit.
lol so well said. I'm in Texas too btw.
You don't have to wear a mask to buy beer.
In this case right-wingers not being worried about the appearance of right-wing bias on the court would be a good step forward.
ethics will have you die on your sword and allow them to win
your enemy is using your ethics to shackle you and you're allowing them to.
It's Alinsky's Rule No. 4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." Conservatives play by the rules because they believe in them. The Left knows this and turns our moral integrity against us. "Play nice so we can walk all over you. If you fight back you're Nazis.".
We need to be the monster they think we are. They've pressed the issue so far I don't see any way around it.
We could use Chad Wolf's help with that
This is what I've been saying. We get accused of it anyway. Give em what they want.

Cruz 2.0 is so much better than the previous version
He was always cool. Trump just knew how to defeat him and we didn’t like that Cruz was the one guy left in Trump’s way. Frankly, Cruz was the only one who deserved to be anywhere near Trump in the primary.
Never forget that Cruz famously refused to attack Trump in the first several debates, when everyone else was. Cruz was actually the first to defend Trump by calling out the moderators for asking Trump if he was “a clown candidate”.
I like Carson a lot, but the Left would have destroyed him before the election.
Yep, they would have Herman Cain’d him.
He was also playing the part of typical politician, afraid to say what he thought might hurt feelings, circle around with political doublespeak, and just generally came across as non-genuine.
Trump taught him how to be a man.
Everyone was playing the part of typical politician. That’s what makes Trump so revolutionary. He single handedly ended the era of phony politicians, and taught most of the how to win. The best part is that it’s going to take the Democrats at least another 10 years to catch on, maybe much longer.
The left is incapable of learning. They still don't know why Killary lost.
Russian collusion and sexism. Duh.
Cruz was always the smartest guy in the room. He cut his teeth on Bush era politics. He learned how to speak that language and run that playbook.
Trump threw him for a loop. Hell, Trump threw everyone for a loop. It took Cruz a little bit to recalibrate, but he did. There are some (i.e. the lazy Never-Trumper grifter class) who never did.

Because he's so traditionally intelligent, he's grown up able to adapt to any situation he's thrown into, and more quickly than most. But he can't play things from the gut like Trump can.
Yeah he's smart. Too bad he can't be on SCOTUS. So we keep him in the Senate. He's an asset.
I ain't gonna say you're wrong.
There are 5 taints sitting. All of them sit to pee. Yeah, Roberts included.
I remember that too, but I am pretty sure that the reason that he is now on the list is because he changed his mind about that. There is no way Trump would have put him on the list if he thought that Cruz would deny a nomination.
Trump might be setting up the chess board for 2024.
This might be him signaling that he doesn't want Cruz to be his successor.
Doesn’t bother RBG.
Nothing bothers her. Including the worms crawling in and out of her skull.
Very true one less voice but either way he’d be an amazing justice
Pussy Ted the YT star. Mark Dice called Ted out. Ted is no lion. The CANT party could do with some real patriots who will really fight for America. Pussy T ain't one of them.
Why is ACB the individual that people have so latch onto as the RBG replacement?
because muh woman
She'd be a bad judge imo
Although she has to have a certain level of competency, it's literally because she's a woman. It's identity politics. Replace a woman with a woman. Nominate an anti-abortion judge who is a woman.
I doubt she's THAT much better than every other option in the country where she would have to be the first pick.
Because they can't repeat the Kavanaugh clown fiesta.
Never underestimate the mental gymnastics of the deranged Marxists.
They would find a way
I don' know, they'd been doing it since before Kavanugh, even.
I don't like this whole "must replace woman with woman" mentality, like we can never have fewer women (and likely by extension minorities) on the bench at any time, only more.
I hate identity politics. Thomas isn't my favorite current sitting judge because he's black.
He’s a better intellectual and legal scholar than politician.
He almost lost his Senate seat to Beto. It was pretty damn close considering what a miserable douche Beto is.
DID YOU MEAN ROBERT FRANCIS O'ROURKE???
That is because of immigration.cuckservatives will never talk about this.what we hear is “ muh based immigrants” .
If ACB gets nominated, we have to fight against it worse than the left fought Kavanaugh, but without telling lies.
I don't know, a shit tweeting, leftist triggering Justice might be an epic first that Lion Ted could pull off.
Tough call for me but I think a guaranteed MAGA Supreme Court vote outweighs his current position as a senator and co-host of the “number one conservative podcast in the nation”
I’d agree, tough to argue effectiveness with a lifetime appointment to MAGA!
Especially with someone so thoroughly based.
I was glad to hear Josh Hawley's name. He would be great.
Josh would be there until 2080, at least!!!! Inevitable CJ !!
As a Stanford alum, it's nice to finally see someone from Stanford that wasn't part of the Obama/Clinton cabal!!
CJ isn't the seniormost Justice, it's the person who takes over the previous CJ's spot.
CJ is nominated by POTUS and confirmed by Senate. Hopefully Josh will be nominated at the right time.
That would be John Roberts retiring, which seems unlikely. Obviously though, I would love for us to swap out as many non-MAGA justices as possible!
Hawley would be good, but he's already said that he's honored but would unfortunately likely decline the offer.
mustve asked a girl out on a date once.
Yeah I'm on board with him on the Supreme Court. I'm not a fan of a some of his very hard religious centered beliefs, but those same beliefs are what would make him a great conservative justice on the courts. Sort of a balance of power if you will because he would be a very strong conservative voice on the courts, but he would not have unilateral authority. One thing about Ted is that he's very consistent in his personal interpretation of the constitution, I believe he strives for. fairness and I can respect that a great deal.
Is it just me, or is this a “you’ll never be president” consolation prize?
RBG loves abortion
you can buy adrenochrome right now if you want.
direct from the alien sphinx nipples.
But he would be the first Lion Ted named to be a justice to the SCOTUS
While we do need him vocal I think he’d be a guaranteed by the book constitutionalist
Just watched the press conference and had to make an account to say this:
HOW THE FUCK DOES HE STAY SO PATIENT WITH THESE IDIOTS IN THE PRESS?
I'm serious. I would have told all of these hack activist """""journalists""""" to fuck off and get a real job by now.
"Any questions about the judges?"
B-BUT MUH WOODWARD PLS EXPLAIN WHY ORANGE = BAD
Triggered.
Welcome, gay pede! Trump stays calm because he does not fear the enemy.
Welcome to .win!
I agree with your take and can think of little I'd enjoy more than breaking Jim Acosta's knees. KayMac is the only person I've seen handle a WH press conference on par with DJT, and she does it completely differently, of course. I hope they continue to tag team each other, keeping either from burning out.
Or better yet let no one else in the room besides Chanel Rion and KayMac, with DJT popping in whenever he wants. We'd find out 10x more.
I never would have thought hearing the names of possible Supreme Court justices being read by the president would be like hearing names of first round draft picks. But I never cared about draft picks.
Or would I have thought to tune in to press briefings and news conferences by the President exciting either. But here we are.
Right?! My first thought was that I need to pick who I’m gonna bet on.
You guys made me check if RBG had kicked the bucket yet...
She'll probably stay on in an undead state for a few years. Might already be at that stage, actually...
Could be Epstein related information coming out soon that may make one of the Justices step down... maybe?
Her secret
Presidin' Ted
ACB = bad news.
Details? We have a split crowd here
ACB would probably betray us on immigration.
That's a biggie. But that's 100% up to POTUS. How could a SCOTUS seat ever impact that?
It shouldn't.
But it will.
Perversion of our Judicial branch is ample cause for civil war, even without the rest of the bs.
Yup Exactly. After Colorado was 100% rigged for him he's complete swamp of some sort or another, at least the swamp wouldn't mind him one bit.
Put Rand on the Supreme Court. Put Whoever would legalize Machine Guns and actual Militia grade weaponry for the Militia.
eh, it was personal for awhile, so it probably took a lot to get over it.
I mean, hell many men would have never forgiven Trump for the horrible things Trump said about Cruz's wife.
Better man than I am, I would have told Trump to fuck off in Cruz's shoes, and hurt my own damn career to do so.
List:
Daniel Cameron, Kentucky Attorney General
Paul Clement, former US Solicitor General
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.)
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas)
Steven Engel, Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel
Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)
Florida Supreme Court Justice Carlos Muñiz
Former U.S. Solicitor General Noel Francisco
Fifth Circuit Judge James Ho
D.C. Circuit Judge Gregory Katsas
Eleventh Circuit Judge Barbara Lagoa
Ninth Circuit Judge Bridget Bade
Fifth Circuit Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan
U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Christopher Landau
U.S. District Judge Martha Pacold
Third Circuit Judge Peter Phipps, 3rd Circuit
U.S. District Judge Sarah Pitlyk, Eastern District of Missouri
Fourth Circuit Judge Allison Jones Rushing
Ninth Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke
Deputy White House counsel Kate Todd
Barrett isn't on the list. Interesting.
HELL YEAH.
MAKE SCOTUS GREAT AGAIN
Better than gorsuch and kavanaugh. Ted Cruz would make constitutional rulings all day long to the day he died. Best pick yet
He can’t leave Texas!!! They’d fucking vote in Beto!
Beto's toast, now. He made the exact opposite call on gun attitudes during a changing time, and he'll never live that down.
If he won by that little TX probably needs a different candidate anyway

DAHNALD!
Ted Cruz is the swamp. Theres too much evidence to not define facebook and twitter a publisher. Im sure they are paying him very well.
Wow is that true? Thats very disturbing to hear that his VP pick is voting Biden.
I would love to see Ted to replace RBG...can you imagine the Reeeeeee that would be heard around the world when that happens?
He definitely deserves a shot at leadership. He has earned my respect over the years. After the 2016 primaries, he was under a lot of pressure to go the nevertrump route. He resisted and became one of Trump's biggest allies. He was there when we needed him and I will never forget that.
Trump burned him up pretty bad, and as a Cruz guy, it pissed me off. I actually thought that Cruz did the best thing with his convention speech, and we all needed some time to heal from that fight. I was actually pissed when Cruz endorsed Trump later on, but I now understand that it was for the best. Cruz has been a great ally for the president, and the president has been the greatest force for good in a generation (something that I didn’t believe in 2016).
He counts as a ‘person of colour’ right? He’s ‘Latinx’. Surely the leftists can’t complain!!
The Honorable LION Ted
I CAN’T WAIT TO DECIPHER THE RULINGS OF JUDGE ZODIAC ♓️🔪
Not Ted
Lion Ted would be epic at SCOTUS.
SCOTUS is a major reason people voted.
That said, LOTS and LOTS of us conservatives and Trump supporters have STILL not registered to vote. Even some Democrats who are switching sides have not registered. Do not assume that your state is safe, even local elections count as we have seen over the past 6 months!
Check your status, register yourselves and get others who are passionate about Trump and conservative values if you or they haven't yet registered:
https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote#item-212645 (or check the side bar)
Remember that this is a numbers game and we need to WIN!
Please, no. These Republican presidents have to STOP pulling administration-friendly members of congress out of their effective positions to accept cabinet positions, ambassadorships, and now SCOTUS appointments.
Enough, already!
He has come a long way since the days of the Cuban Mistress Crisis.
Based.

I loathed this man. Then he lost to Trump. And instead of being a bitter bitch about it, he transformed himself into Lion Ted. Loyal, trustworthy, fearless. I could see myself voting for him as President in 2024.
Cruz is one of the few who would make a superb justice, he's an appellate court lawyer, which is very different from lower courts.
That said, we need a Republican senate.
FUCKING DO IT
Fuck it just put Ted Nugent on the Supreme Court.
No. I'm going to get slammed for this, but I don't care.
First, he failed to support Trump during the RNC convention prior to the election. Any sane conservative would realize the only chance to stack the SCOTUS with conservative justices would be to win the presidency, otherwise, Hillary would be appointing them -- and yet he refused to do it. And now he wants to be appointed to the same SCOTUS that he jeopardized by not supporting Trump when it mattered.
Second, Trump implied Cruz's father helped in the assassination of JFK. That may mean Cruz's entire family is part of the CIA just like the Bush clan is/was.
Third, he made Phyllis Schlafly's life a living hell and drove her to an early grave, ripping her life's work out of her hands and turning her own daughter against her, simply because she endorsed Trump instead of him. Cruz gutted her Eagles Forum mailing list and she died within a month of going to court over and over defending her right to continue managing the Eagle forum.
Fourth, he was using every dirty trick in the book against Trump, installing his own electors who would revolt against Trump and vote for Cruz, even though Trump won the state. They were tactics of a sleazeball.
Fifth, he was a Nevertrumper until almost the end, prior to the election. If you're faced with Hillary as POTUS (would have been the end of this country) and you can't bring yourself to lift a finger to do anything about it until its almost too late, you're not really a conservative.
Rush limbaugh would be a great pick. He wouldn't even have to serve more than a day before retirement, and it would still be historic. His confirmation hearings would be epic. Every time a dem started a monologue or bullshit question, he could just interrupt them midway with an answer to an unrelated question. And then blame his cochlear implant. Shit, please me God-Emperor Space Cowboy Doctor President Trump, please oh please hear my prayers.
Could Tom Fitton have been one?
Tom Fitton is pretty fucking amazing!
We need justices like this who truly understand the law and will interpret it correctly, we will always have someone who can say the same things from a political standpoint
Good! He’s annoying. Get him out of politics so he doesn’t run for President in 2024 and then lose in the General. He can’t win a General, too unlikable.
Ted has bigger plans imo He has said so on his podcast that he doesn’t want to be on the bench. I think he is thinking of a 2024 run for president.
A great choice for diversity among his justices : Hispanic born in Canada
Josh Hawley all the way.
All career politicians need to get out. Term limits for all. We need working class servants of the people.
Hurry it up, Ruth...
I wonder if he didn’t speak at the RNC, because he’s on the short list.
Did Roboth Vader Ginsborg kick it finally?
Imagine a world where the deciding vote to end abortion comes from a WOMAN
Good thing Trump will probably get 2 justices. First replace RBG with ACB. Then whoever is next with Cruz. I think Clarence Thomas might retire during Trump’s second term and I can’t think of a better replacement than Ted.
Good point. I was about to disagree, but in the battle to win hearts and minds it’s a good short term strategy towards building a future where such strategies wouldn’t be necessary.
