Harry Reids Unintended Gift to Trump
 
President-elect Donald Trump is deeply, deeply “indebted” to the Senate Democrats.

Long before there was any dream or whispering of a Trump Presidency, the Senate Democrats eliminated the filibuster for nominees to all Executive Branch positions and Judicial Branch positions beneath the Supreme Court. That was in November 2013.

Almost exactly three years later, one of the Democrats’ worst nightmares became true.

Reid is the gift that keeps giving, he screwed his buddy Schumer

You know, this is one of those things that makes the primitives so entertaining, the ways they're always trying changing the rules so as to gain one advantage or another.

It always splats them right back into the face.

Probably it'd be better for the primitives to just understand what the rules are, and to work with them, instead of changing them.

in response to the idiot immediately above

3. That's what we are looking forward to
 
Hillary stacking the courts with activists would have been a nightmare this country may never have woken up from.

2. This is a story that defines Irony to a T.
 
Hundreds of Federal Judges to include 4 new judges on the 9th court of appeals in Kalifornia, will be put forward by President Trump and forced down the throats, or up somewhere else, by the use of the nuclear options that they dems so fully support....

Life is great....

Yeah it is, isn't it?

4. Now just make it complete by using the nuclear option on the Supreme Court nomination as well.

Well now, I was greatly disappointed by the video.  It's of an atomic experiment from 1954, a 15-megaton bomb, apparently the largest one ever detonated by the United States.

The largest bomb ever exploded was the 60-megaton Tsar Bomba. by the peace-loving co-existists the friendly fraternal Soviet socialists, in 1961; after that, it was pretty much determined that bombs could be "too big" to be worth using, so best to stick with smaller ones.

<<<wonders if the Soviets ever made a youtube of their bomb exploding.

They were certain that they had the Presidency locked up for generations and believed their own "demographics" theory so in their immature minds they saw no issue with it.

Yeah.

This "demographic" thing's going to keep biting them in the ass, over and over.

The Democrats, liberals, and primitives forget that today's demographics aren't necessarily tomorrow's demographics.

Conservatives constantly warned them they were saddling the children with the consequences of their actions, but to no avail.
It never dawned on them that they themselves might have been the "children" we were referring to.

Exactly.  Plus, they're all packed together in the blue shit holes and any currently Blue State not named California can be flipped, if only temporarily, by the right Republican.

You know, during the middle of the night, I suddenly worried that I hadn't made myself clear; I'm glad you seem to get it.

For those who didn't, what I mean by demographics are always changing is that, for example, tomorrow's Hispanics probably aren't going to think the same ways today's Hispanics think.

Values and attitudes always shift, always change.

I'm not old enough myself to remember when this was true, but there was once a time "all" rich people voted Republican. 

These days, it seems the 1% votes only Democrat.

So that's the sense I meant about demographics always changing; one shouldn't count on them staying the same generation after generation.

Too bad for the primitives.

If the Republican-led Senate follows Reid's path, they should magnanimously call it "the Reid Option" to "reach across the aisle" to Democrats!...
