When a headline poses a yes/no question, the answer is no. You make a question headline when you want to give the reader the initial impression that something could be the case, but wait until the end of the article that few people will bother reading to for the shoe to drop that no, that isn't the case.

It kinda was, though.

What did CHAZ and the summer of love actually accomplish?

Sure they got police departments in shithole cities defunded for maybe six months… but then the crime skyrocketed and the politicians started ctrl-z’ing real damn hard.

Hey that's unfair, they also managed to get the very epitome of what they claimed to hate, an old white man politician who passed stringent anti crime and drug laws and a corrupt prosecutor into office. Uh, they made corpos a lot of money shilling a consumerized version of their retarded ideologies? Well, they bought a black marxist a couple of new mansions so that's what really matters.

It is more or less the background music of the Farms.

Regarding this Supreme Court justice Breyer retiring. I don't know the procedures very well (I just know that if the nominee is Right leaning, it's okay to invade the state Capitol building to protest it). So question - if for some reason Breyer doesn't retire until the mid-terms or a nomination cannot be passed until after them, AND if the Republicans do really well at the midterms, can they block Biden appointing his "I don't care so long as she's Black" candidate? Force him to compromise on someone else?

yes. It used to require 60% of the Senate saying yes to approve a justice, now it's a simple majority. It will probably go through if they get someone like Linsey to cuck though. The vetting process is about a month to six weeks, and the judiciary committee hearings are about two weeks.

Rumblings on my end is that the GOP is gunning for the specific appointee that rejected the idea of a living constitution. ANyone else will get stonewalled while they consistently go "But you have this one...".

She is not guaranteed to be a swing vote, but is much more likely to be and so its worth putting up a slight fight to get her in over anyone else.

That's why I think Lindsey went so hard to support her, but you can't ever trust what the Dems say, like Garland being a moderate. Like the Muslims, Dems will taqiya their way into power.

I wouldn't organize here because you'll get a dozen doomers flying out of the wood work. Seriously, any conservative places one brick upon another and people lose their god damn shit about the pointlessness of it all.

For you and @Jaimas , I really do find it incredibly gobsmacked over how liberals that support 2A rights, alienate the the much bigger 2A right wing crowd and still cling on to the meme that the 1990s American Taliban within the GOP will rise up. I do also find it cringe that some refer to their modern sporting rifles as muskets.

Believe it or not, it wasn't always like that.

It probably seems daffy by today's standards, but I swear to god, just a decade ago, there were huge lefty 2A proponents, even on shitholes like DailyKos. I can't for the life of me remember what the ones that were there were called (it was a long time ago), but they seriously caused the usual suspects to seethe just by their mere presence, and bringing up that - yeah, there's plenty of legitimate reasons to own a gun, especially if you don't live in the city.

There was an active campaign to piss off and drive off these 2A advocates though. Really fucking cringe, even by the standards of 2010. They would bring up basically every time someone was hurt or killed by an accidental gun discharge anywhere in the country, find images of the stupidest motherfuckers using guns like idiots (like snapshots of a bunch of commies imitating ADF and LARPing like they were hot shit with a gun weren't fucking omnipresent in their fucking circles), and, of course, blaming every mass shooting on the 2A supporting users specifically. They did this at the same time they kept up the "American Taliban" shit, with absolutely no self-awareness. And while eventually, these guys were driven out of the neoprogressive hugbox, the same as everyone else, they were one of the last groups to go because they didn't break any rules and eventually the mods just had to ban them outright for wrongthink.

I didn't start hearing the "American Taliban" shit until the Tea Party started, when it was a popular term for them alongside "Teahadist."
For what it's worth, you can take this as evidence that while the left could certainly meme at one point, DailyKos couldn't meme even back then.
 

Journo: "You talked about the potential, if it's appropriate, of pardoning some of the 1/6ers..."
Trump: "Yeah."
Journo: "Lindsey Graham said a couple days later he thinks that's inappropriate. What do you think?"
Trump: "Lindsey Graham's wrong. I mean, Lindsey's a nice guy but he's a RINO. Lindsey's wrong."

Biden's planning to get a nominee chosen by the end of the month. So if Breyer retires at the end of this current term, which should be around July, the fun would begin in August and September... ideal time to turn it into a circus.

The antichrist is an odd mix of a puppet and a system. There are many antichrists, I was taught that Revelations is more or less a tale of how the 'world' always ends. If you ever see a renaissance or classical painting it usually is clear that it's a man being lead by the devil rather than a demonic man. Biden is a good candidate for an Anti-Christ, he's a greedy career politician who has lied his entire career and refuses to acknowledge his misdeeds while serving the political elite. The anti-Christ isn't some magic bs, it's dishonest people leading others down the wrong path for their own gain. The meme picture of the guy from Superbad saying that Jesus said this so do what I want even though I hate you and your beliefs would be an example, but prosperity gospel preachers would be another.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong (or mixing it up with something else) but I thought the antichrist was supposed to be charismatic, Biden has never had any, even before his brain turned to pudding he was known for being stupid, spiteful, and that comb over.

Terrible timing... for the dems. Republicans disproportionately benefit from SCOTUS being in the news as a contentious topic. The timing is why the rumor is about allowing a Democrat in they'd prefer rather than a strong fight on it otherwise. -Much- better fodder to say "See, they got one in! We need the Senate to prevent another!". And if they can get that -and- a potential swing vote... well, that's a victory.

Supreme Court drama during the height of pre-midterm primaries would be disastrous for Democrats, especially if they turn it into a circus. There's a reason Ron Klain (Biden's Chief of Staff) leaked the retirement rumor to the media so early. To get Breyer out to distract from the grease fire going on in the White House and have another thing for their Congressmen to campaign on this spring.

If they're smart, they're going to do the confirmation hearings in May. Any attempts to criticize their nominee will be met with hordes of MSM braying about eebul huwite raycists attacking a brave blaq wahmen.

They cannot do the confirmation then. It can -only- occur after the sitting justice has left... in June or even July.

Ah well nevermind then about trying to ram it through before the primaries. Why the fuck would Klain leak it this early if they can't do anything about it for five months, minimum?

I and @JohnDoe suspect that it was an attempt to pressure him into retiring early.

Earlier than his stated end-of session timing? It's a perfectly reasonable time to do it, And earlier means stuff left un-done which anyone who gives a crap about their job prefers to avoid. Especially when nobody but them and the Reaper have anything to say on when they retire. What galaxybrain got the idea telling a USSC judge to hurry it up regarding what they do in court? Nobody can really do it, But they might annoy him, Which can't help.
Who was it?* "There's nobody on Earth nearer to God than a General on the battlefield or a Judge in the courtroom."

*Apologies in advance to them, I've surely mangled it more than a bit.
