TDS-afflicted Democrats in a nutshell:
Groups opposed to the selection have also already scheduled a rally at the Supreme Court opposing the pick Monday night at 9:15 p.m.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/09/politics ... index.html

Translation: Even though we have no idea who will be selected, we are protesting them.

We ARE living in a national emergency right now. The fact that we've got enough people in this country who would vote for somebody like Trump to create a situation in which he is President is a serious problem. It's not a small thing and it should cause any sensible person to be seriously concerned about the future of the country.

Except, well, I WILL say that the ray of hope is that the demographic groups involved are shrinking so there's a good chance that it's just a really bad thing that happened but which does not reflect what will continue over time.

He is changing the national landscape for a long time, appointing good conservative judges, tax cut and many other great things.

A prisoner in North Carolina registered as a Muslim, and signed up to observe Ramadan...
During a holy month when he was supposed to be fasting, a Muslim inmate in the Mecklenburg County Jail still wanted his lunch.


So Travaile Speller has sued, claiming that his jailers and the Mecklenburg Sheriff's Office discriminated against his religious practice by forcing him to eat only two meals each day during Ramadan.

"That is clearly depriving me of necessary calories, as well as the recommend(ed) daily volume of nutrients that my body requires to function normally," Speller says in his hand-written complaint. "They are intentionally eliminating one whole meal (lunch) which is cruel and unusual punishment directed towards all Muslims."

There's just one problem: During Ramadan (which took place this year from May 15 to June 15), practicing Muslims are limited to two meals each day. Those are known as suhoor, which can be eaten before dawn, and iftar, which is served after sunset.

Guess he really doesn’t understand the rules he asked the jailers to respect...

‘Go back to your own country.’ 92-year-old man beaten with a brick, L.A. cops say

Rodolfo Rodriguez, 92, set out about 8 p.m. on Independence Day on his regular evening walk around his Los Angeles neighborhood, relatives told KTLA. But what happened next was anything but routine.

When Rodriguez bumped into a young girl while trying to pass her on the sidewalk near his home, the toddler’s mother shoved him to the ground and beat him in the face with a brick, police told the station.

After a passer-by stopped to record the incident on video and call police, four men ran up and began kicking Rodriguez while the child’s mother shouted at him, reported KCBS.

“Go back to your country, why are you here, bad things,” the witness said the mother told Rodriguez, who is a legal U.S. resident, according to the station.

Thanks God for the Internets or the 1 or 2 annual incidents of 92 year old Mexicans being beaten by women would go completely unnoticed

BTW who keeps the scorecard on intersectionality, Jelly?

Can we get a ruling on who trumps whom?

Black female or Mexican senior citizen?

They both check two boxes so we need a tie breaker.

Was one of them gay?

The libs will ultimately go for the 92 yo Mexican over the black woman. Mexicans, especially illegal ones are now the pet minority, replacing the blacks, who the libs feel they have under firm control.

A similar type of wisdom that we never actually put to good use in the Middle East
We've centered ourselves as the enemy there since 1917
when all we ever had to do was get out of the way
