Republicans Face Test Of Honor, Integrity In Handling Of Ginsburg Seat: Sen. Booker | MSNBC
No Grahams word is useless
Vote Blue!! The whole rotten gop must go in november
@John O
What you will be after Trump wins!!!
@Major Minor she dictated her final wish that a new appointment not be made until the election is over.
Well they do say a man is as only as good as his word … explains a lot about Miss Lindsay.
@Major Minor Than why prey tell was Merrick Garland refused even so much as a Senate confirmation hearing?
They failed that test LONG ago.
Trump will be seating another YOUNG conservative on the bench. Let the crying begin!!!!😢
It’s our seat not yours
@Dave Schultz 👄SC justices can be impeached!!
Graham. Will prove himself a hypocrite.. all the more reason he should be removed.
@Da Re TROLL! BOT! RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA! Do you morons ever just have an argument to bring to the fore, as an actual adult might do? Thought not. Moron.
@John O You know that’s just Tidy Bowl, right Cletus?
To each her own, I guess.
@Cool Hand Mark Still no adult comment from the 2nd grader called Markie Mark, huh? It must be hard being a 6 year old all of your useless, uneducated life.
DON’T WAIT, JOIN ME IN LINE TO VOTE, IN PERSON, IN NUMBERS TOO BIG TO RIG, SO BLUE CAN SHOW A CLEAR LEAD BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS 3 NOVEMBER
@Mike Marder Ooops. Trump is forging ahead in all polls and is ahead in several key States, over what he was in 2016. I guess you can always drop multiple ballots of pets and dead relatives in various polling places like you’ve done for decades. That appears
to be the only way you’ll win. Trump 2020.
Five books every US citizen should read:
– ‘The Dictator’s Handbook’
By: Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith
– ‘On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century’
By: Timothy D. Snyder
– ‘Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America’
By: Stacey Abrams
– ‘Surviving Autocracy’
By: Masha Gessen
– ‘Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning’
By: Timothy D. Snyder
Great list…. crumbs
Another one to add to the list ( also available on TV), The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Attwood. It’s coming with another 4 years of Trump. Ladies, you’ve been warned. VOTE!!!!!
@Linda and Warren FowlPatt Nice! 😎
I”d like to share a documentary to this list. “The Family “ on Netflix. And for the gullible right-fighters: “The Great Hack” also Netflix.
If its anything like impeachment forget honor and integrity from republicans. They should honor RBG last request to wait until after election. Also after what they did to Obama in 2016 with his nomination of supreme court justice.
If McConnel pulls this stunt off , Oswald’s bullet couldn’t fly fast enough to plant right between his turtle like eyes.
what a hater…………………LMAO BETA BOY
God I would love to see that!
I know that losing a historic figure on the Supreme Court is a big deal. But in my view the government should be more worried about the American Citizens that need the stimulus package done before they try and vote in a new Supreme Court Justice.
Keith Etherington yes citizens need and are completely entitled to assistance, but the reality is the Supreme Court Justice is an incredibly powerful position and left in the hands of these thugs would mean devastation for us all.
@X3 Z protecting the people should be the main focus of the Supreme Court Justices. It is of utmost importance 2 protect the people by appointing a judge who is not bought and paid for by the Republican Party. Mitch will always appoint judges who support the wealthy class, corporations, and the corrupt.
I agree with that. Get the stimulus out then vote on your SC pick.
Passing a stimulus package does not benefit their donors
If you had any, ANY other prez, that wouldn’t need to be a consideration. Scary times.
Do you really expect Republicans to honor RBG’s last wishes? Do you really expect Republicans to have any decency? Do you really expect Moscow Mitch to stick to his 2016 “principles”? Republicans are power hungry and they mean to get it by any means, at any cost.
The only way the GOP can win is to lie cheat and steal.
Democrats are dreaming if they think republicans have any sympathy for Ginsbergs passing!
@Kirk Thiets I’m sure Democrats can “found” another fake Blasey Ford or an Avenatti with some anonymous “sources” or a Schiff secret wither-blower.
@Herb Liptow so you’re basically saying even Trump was lying, as usual btw, last night when he was informed before he boarded air force one.
Unfortunately the GOP Moral Majority is no more – they have proven that by supporting this amoral sociopathic president.
The Moral Majority was neither !!
oh , when was there a Moral ANYTHING is the republican party? that moral majority stuff is PR pure and simple…
@Dan Alexander Audio How about the time Republicans took the black slaves from the Democrats and freed them? Was that a moral thing to do?
PlasmaBurns As a Black person, I am tired of this lame constant rationale for the PRESENT REPUBLICAN PARTY OF DONALD TRUMP. A lot of history regarding my people has taken place since the 1800’s when Emancipation took place. The Civil Rights legislation during the Democractic Lyndon Johnson Administration has had major impact on the rights of Blacks(African Americans). Too bad that the party of Trump couldn’t accept a Democractic Black President named Barak Obama who was superior to him and it drives him crazy!
Come into the 21st century. The party of Lincoln, even of Reagan is dead, a cult of Trump exists now.
Don’t blame it all on Trump. McConnell and the Republicans let him nominate “acting” heads; fire anyone–including Inspector Generals– on a whim; abandon international commitments or allies; ruin our international standing and let over 300,000 Americans die if you include all the EXTRA deaths over the national averages for this year.
They will say, “I was just following orders.”
The abyss just got darker…and it’s staring back at you….the people should make the decision…have a voice…mitch Said that… (snap) another freedom gone…I can guarantee you that honor has no place in this administration. …
Well said!
Yeah let the people know everything about how kamala went after unsdercover journalist who filmed planned parenthood selling fetal tissue and how it funds her campaign
Vote Blue!! The whole rotten gop must go in november
@kansaspatriot digital soldier Learn how to spell and maybe someone will take you seriously.
@kansaspatriot digital soldier your user name reveals all there is to know about you… Incel right wing gamer loser
There is absolutely no sign of honor in the Repugnant Party and tRump has never heard of the word. Bone Spurs is the most dangerous and worst leader since Adolf Hitler.
@Dawn Oceanside yeah Trump uses to be a democrat so what? So was I. Until I woke up to the true intentions of the left.
@Cort -LMAO !! All Biden wants is his pudding. He has no idea where he is.
@Dawn Oceanside – Grow a brain. That lie was proven false long ago.
@Dawn Oceanside Boo Hoo! Beijing Biden and Heels-Up Harris have no chance.
@Daughter Of The Revolution – You need to see your therapist. TDS has Trump living in your head rent free 24/7.
Never forget what happened with Merrick Garland.
Yeah thank God we got Gorsuch and Kavenaugh! Next, Comey Barrett! MAGA!
@Feces In Chief Don’t need him, because THANK GOD
we got Gorsuch and Kavenaugh! Next, Comey Barrett! MAGA!!
@4 Fake These whiny liberals had no idea there even WAS a SCOTUS before 2016.
Now they are all “Constriclutional Lawnyers”. Amazing.
@4 Fake your splitting hairs. Your argument is desperate.
Vote BLUE. Take the trash out! November 3!!
@Nhan Ky no worries I’m sure Democrats can “found” another fake Blasey Ford or an Avenatti with some anonymous “sources” or a Schiff secret wither-blower.
Republicans have no spine to do the right thing….shame, but that is America today.
But there are things the Democrats can do the delay the process but will they have the courage to act??? I suspect no.
MRS J, I’m sure Democrats can “found” another fake Blasey Ford or an Avenatti with some anonymous “sources” or a Schiff secret wither-blower.
Actually, Republicans would believe it would be spineless to not get this done asap. Imagine a more conservative valued Supreme Court. It may not be what one side wants, but I wouldn’t blame them for trying. Truth is, it has never been something the Senate has held back on regardless of the party in control. They have always blocked the opposition and embraced the party nominations. Both Democrats and Republicans have done this.
@Paul Moore Watch what happens when Trump plows right through you liberals and gets Comey Barrett on the Bench. How will that make you FEEEEEL?
Mrs. Jemima: Actually you perfectly describe Democrats today. Name one courageous thing ANY Demo has done that was actually beneficial to America? See? You can’t. Shame, but that is America today.
“A test of honor, integrity…..” Maybe they can pay someone to take it for them.
“Perfect” !!!!!
Have Biden plagiarize it. He knows ALL the right speeches to copy!
@Satya Richburg Ju Just have StinkFinger plagiarize anything you want.
After all, he knows ALL the best speeches to copy!
Every day is an IQ test for Dems and other marxists.
@Karl K Dems and other Marxists don’t do well in IQ tests because they live only from their gut. You know, “How Does It FEEL”? Their ‘mind’ tends to be completely governed by their borborygmi (stomach noises).
Come on Rachel, do you really think Republicans are concerned with words like honesty, honor, integrity? Hahaha. I see the Republicans as finally taking off their hoods.
Coming from a liptard that’s amusing
Maybe the Demonrats can have another honorable fake Russian Collusion. Or find some “anonymous source” with integrity. Or an honest sham impeachment. LOL.
queen zuzu: Huh??? KKK was your party, genius.
Try to keep up. Good luck! Dimwit.
John Lewis is calling on us, young, millennial, over 40, over 50 able to vote of any age to get out GET OUT THE VOTE, get into “Good trouble”, your democracy and the rule of law depend on us.
Decency, integrity, morals, principles,…are anathema to republicans,…
Whorehaygigolo: You stupidly mention morality and principles: Proud gold standard of liberals, RBG favored slitting the throats of a newborn baby if the Mother didn’t want it any more (See Gov Ralph Northam video for more proud liberal policies on this subject). The solid liberal bastion of morality, RBG was in favor of lowering the age of consent to TWELVE YEARS OLD to pander to her pedophile base. (Jeffrey Epstein just LOVED her). THOSE are YOUR liberal morals, genius.
The LINCOLN PROJECT should get on this SITUATION.
They already did👍 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp0_dK3mvr4&ab_channel=MSNBC
There already is an ad showing Lindsey Graham saying that the Merrick Garland situation created a new precedent for SCOTUS selection, essentially saying that once candidates have been chosen by the parties and the primary is under way in an election year, no SCOTUS appointments should be approved, that the president selected in the election should choose the jurists. I want to believe he still has some level of honor and will keep his word — and, in so doing, claim a strong moral leadership role, returning integrity to the GOP in the post T rump era.
Has the GOP ever delivered a voice about Trump’s guilts ? Their evasiveness speak for themselves !!
no worries I’m sure Democrats can “found” another fake Blasey Ford or an Avenatti with some anonymous “sources” or a Schiff secret wither-blower.
Since when has the RepubliKKKarens ever cared about things like “Honor” and “Integrity”
The left act as if ruthless died a year ago her body wasnt even cold and you people went straight into panic mode disgusted at the thought if another Trump victory. You people have alot of nerve talking about moral’s.
Davis Tran, I’m sure Democrats can “found” another fake Blasey Ford or an Avenatti with some anonymous “sources” or a Schiff secret wither-blower.
You can’t put “honour and integrity” in the same sentence as republicans. Lindsey has none.
