But the Democrats would be hypotcrites if they condemn the Republicans for doing what they tried (and failed) to do?

This is the greatest load of nonsense I’ve ever heard.

The Democrats would be hypocrites for holding the Republicans to their own standard. I’ve heard it all now.

When the Democrats tried to get a new justice in, it was the first time in 80 years that a vacancy came up in an election year. The Republicans said no, so they set the standard.

The Democrats would be hypocrites ffs.

Doesnt matter who was in power, both sides would try to get their pick in, democrats would do the exact same thing.

Both sides would be hypoctites - The Demoncrats tried it - so that set a standard that is ok to try.

The Republicans blocked it so they would be hypocrites now to say it's ok

Threads merged

We really do not want a new thread every time there's a headline about one of the contenders. We've more than enough threads about Trump in particular

No, Democrats would be hypocrites if they tried to block this after their own guy got in.

Fact of the matter is, their guy didn’t get in because the GOP said no, the GOP said it won’t happen in the election year.

Everything the Democrats said and did before that was made irrelevant, because the GOP blocked it therefore setting a new standard.

Now, the GOP wants to go back on that standard and the Democrats are holding them to their standard.

Both side are hypocrites ffs. This fake fence-sitting bull**** is exactly what it is. False.

GOP set the standard. They are the hypocrites. Stop chatting absolute bollocks.

You need to calm down you idiot, both sides are hypocrites and biden has proved this by his 2016 statement and McConnell has also by his statement this time around, if you cant see that go for a walk and clear your head.

To be fair, ActBlue has amassed over $95M since her death, as of 10:30 am this morning. I suspect it's hit $100M by now

In fairness, I found Trumps first response to be far more classy than Bidens but I admit I may be biased as a Trump supporter. Trump expressed sorrow at her death and said that no matter what side you are on, she was a great woman. That was it, Trump did not try to capitalize on the death.

Biden on the other hand, said the usual platitudes and went straight to business, speaking about how and when her replacement should be selected. I don't think he should have done that, there is a time and a place for politics.

What I believe to be Biden's first response:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knbwzRppZr0

And when I am fairly certain is Trumps first response:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knlJWu815C0

(I cant find a video of Trumps response without that music playing so I can only assume it was being played over a speaker at the airport)

I would say it was pretty appropriate, particularly since her deathbed wish related to the filling of the seat. Believe the Republicans announced they would be filling the seat within 30 minutes of her. Within 24 hours Trump was bigging up filling the seat.

Now they're selling t-shirts about it via the campaign.... Trying to sell him as classy in any way is nonsense. And he is very much so capitalising on it.

Trump and the word "classy" don't belong in the same sentence.

I actually don't believe that happened (but would be happy to be corrected). She knew she was dying, she would have stepped down long ago if she was so concerned about it.

Roe can be whittled down by a court case though. An amendment to the constitution requires an overwhelming majority of support in Congress and support from the states to ratify. We couldn’t even get the ERA passed and he wants to scare plebs into thinking the 2nd amendment is so fragile. It’s pathetic really.

Kavanagh and Gorsuch have already voted to protect abortion rights.

Pretending Roe Vs Wade will be overturned is political posturing.

I think a broader problem is the insistence on only confirming Justices that swear to God that it was wrongly decided.

That people think it is relevant, that's a bit much.

If they are doing it to play for leverage, fine but quite a few seem to think it matters.

Maybe it matters because she was highly respected, unlike most of the Republican ghouls that have circled since her death.

The poster said "I actually don't believe that happened (but would be happy to be corrected)." so they're implying it's made up. Also there is an established precedent on the issue, it was established 4 years ago by the GOP.

yeah getting mixed up between 200 million and 200,000 is so much worse than watching 200,000 people die and doing nothing about it.

Overheal

20,000 lies but ignore all that because Joe gaffed 200 million.

It's a lot less embarrassing than openly supporting the guy responsible for 200k deaths. But keep posting your silly videos, that's all you lot have.

Poor old Joe. I'm wondering what the excuses will be in a few weeks time when he loses. The reality is the Democrats will have only themselves to blame. An open goal running against Trump and this is the best they can provide.
