I have him figured out, he’s a morally bankrupt scumbag who knows how to get what he wants, and from my perspective he’s done great things, while making an ass if himself every couple of days. He also knows how to pummel liberals, and I mean pummel them, at their own dirty game. They can’t handle it.

There is a good chance DJT could have 2 more judges over the next few years. If high 70s to mid 80s are the benchmark for SC Justices retiring we will use 80 years old as a benchmark for Justices to retire. Interesting thing - how many of you plan to be working hard and flat out at 80? So these numbers are probably very optimistic as to how long these people will last.

How long to reach 80 years old:
John Roberts - 17
Anthony Kennedy - retiring now
Clarence Thomas -10
Ruth Bader Ginsburg - (5) Yes - she is Eighty Five now in 2018
Stephen Breyer - now
Samuel Alito - 12
Sonia Sotomayor -16
Elena Kagan -22
Neil Gorsuch -29



How long to reach 75 years old:
John Roberts - 12
Clarence Thomas -5
Ruth Bader Ginsburg - (10) Yes - she is Eighty Five
Stephen Breyer - (5)
Samuel Alito - 7
Sonia Sotomayor -11
Elena Kagan -17
Neil Gorsuch -24
New Justice - say 28 years

In the next 5 years there is a good chance of 3 leaving the bench (not including Kennedy's replacement):

Notorious RGB, Breyer, and Thomas

^^^^ This. Equal opportunity - not manipulated outcome.

Frankly, no. It is not good to see either side do it though it bothers me less when it is Progressives being triggered.

I tend to agree. Being on the conservative side I'm comfortable but seeing how some of my family and friends are reacting on social media makes me somewhat concerned about their future (mental) state of mind if the trend continues.

I don’t see most of this as a liberal vs conservative thing, it’s a good America vs a bad America sort of thing.

That statement is the sort of thing that will begin the next civil war.
I did not click on the youtube, no need after that troll.


I saw a video recently where the speaker said that conservatives and libertarians need to be vigilant but not act first and wait ,even if they have to take a beating, for the liberals to fire first. Well my immediate reaction was that they already did fire first, it was on a ballfield recently, remember? Well threats are one thing, actions are another. People need to calm down and stop listening to propaganda and the media needs to be a lot less dramatic and stop egging lunatics on.


I don't understand all the Chicken Little speak, Trump has not even announced his choice yet and people are freaking out.
