    merrick garland is a god damned piece of shit. I hope history remembers that fucking coward as a key part of our nation’s decline. Quietly complicit stooge doing nothing for democracy and going out of his way to send “I’m a little good boy” signals to trump.

      Democrats decided to go with a Republican, of course he was going to look out for them. Dems reaching across the isle only to get fucked over, a tale as old as time.

        trump and his sycophantic bootlickers denied this asshole immorality as a supreme court justice, back when that actually meant something. The thought was that he’d have a fucking sharpened sword and be ready to enforce justice on behalf of this nation. He had a fucking traitor insurrectionist, on video… and nothing.

        He was never the best choice their could have been, but it was promising for a brief moment. And then Garland just fell on his gray, fucking face.

    Trump supports Netanyahu in taking Gaza and the West Bank > Iran declares war on Israel > ?

    I’m really not sure how Trump will handle a war with Iran. They’re important allies to Russia. He wouldn’t want to piss off his pal Putin, but the Republican Congress would be champing at the bit to be in that war.

      Iran is only an important ally to Russia because of sanctions.
      I’m sure Putin won’t care about them when he can trade up to the USA as ally.

        That’s absolutely possible. It’s also possible that Trump pumps the brakes too hard on Israel’s support against Iran that it sends Netanyahu into Putin’s arms.

        He has enough Trump over party loyalists in Congress to keep from being challenged. He can do whatever he wants with the military.
