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.
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..
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.
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?
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.
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.
I think ACB would have been the nominee if Ginsberg had passed away in the past 6 months. It's an open game now though because Trump wont have to worry about reelection optics after November
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.

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.
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.
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..
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.
Quick Question: How can the Zodiac Killer become a Supreme Court Justice??
Just Sayin...
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.

It’s that famous Liberal humility

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.
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 don’t know that we’ll see his like again in this lifetime.
I think its less caring about the bias, and moreso caring about the fact that it (unfortunately) provides more ammo to the left.

Mud = ammo. They can't bring as much. And haven't trained.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think ACB would have been the nominee if Ginsberg had passed away in the past 6 months. It's an open game now though because Trump wont have to worry about reelection optics after November
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.
