it was YOUR example. You said a
minimum of 50 days, when obama
used a lot less. how was that my example?

are you saying republicans need to spend 50 days, but democrats can spend less time? if so, just say it.

ginsburgs entire process took 40-something days. you can’t win this one.

no he didn’t get a senate vote, because america freely chose to give senate control to republicans. and elections have consequences, at least that’s what we’re told when democrats win.

"so the reason the held of garlad was a manufactured lie"

Sort of. I can't explain why McConnell didn't just say "Obama can nominate who he wants, and the senate can do what we want with that nomination". It was idiotic to say that the proximity to the election had anything to do with it.

I'll ask you what I keep asking Pete, which he keeps dodging. Are democrats not guilty of the same exact hypocrisy? Biden said when Bush 41 was POTUS, that no nominations should be made in an election year, they even called that the Biden rule. Then Biden obviously flip flopped in 2016.

So if McConnell lied, Biden told the same exact lie, and for the same exact reason. And you're voting for Biden. So if you're OK with democrats flip-flopping to get what they want on any given day, how can you complain when republicans do the same thing?

Have fun with that...
