Just because you're looking to bash Trump for everything that's ever happened in history doesn't mean you can excuse it with opinion and crybaby comments like "crock of crap".


Remember -- all the Republicans did was not call a vote on the nomination for Garland.

Democrats are destroying a good man, his family & his career while using a mentally ill woman to do nothing more than cause the nomination to be delayed for political purposes -- Resistance.

If you can't see the difference, then you are the Liberal left-wing dumbass we all think you are.

(she admits to having depression and anxiety disorders, so she qualifies as having mental illnesses).

Nonsense. My dislike of Trump is irrelevant. He wasn't president when Garland was nominated, he had nothing to do with the stalling.

By not calling for a vote they were not doing their job. They were stalling because they could, not because there was some justifiable reason to not hold a hearing.

What does Ford being depressed or having anxiety have to do with anything? You are changing subjects there.

So Biden was right to call for the very same thing in 1992?

Yes, it appears that this was a hypothetical situation, but still.

Non sequitur you say, eh?  Do as I say, not as I do?  No hypocrisy there. . .

I would say Biden was just as wrong as the republicans were.

It was a non sequitur when Biden did it and when the republicans did it.
