Media Claim: Amy Barrett and Her Family Are on a Plane Headed to Washington DC

I think we've seen fake-outs in the past. (Haven't we?)

Also, keep in mind: the media lies constantly and has zero credibility. They're grotesque, incompetent clowns.

They snuck Gorsuch out and drove him via back roads and got him to D.C. on a military plane. They did a fake out with one of the other judges.

So Barrett going to D.C could be the fake out, and the real nominee is being snuck in.

Of cours, "Barrett did poorly in her interview with TGE" along with Kavanaugh vs Hardiman top two could've been the fake-out.

That's the price you pay for grammar Nazism!

...By the way, "damn" needs to be capitalized. Also, it needs to be separated from the body of your sentence by a comma or an exclamation point, as it's an interjection.

And you need a period or exclamation point at the end.

197 Trump should appear with a "Wheel of Fortune" with potential SCOTUS picks in lieu of dollar values at his press conference. Spin once. Wait for the howling to die down.

Then say, "Oh, yeah. I didn't tell you but it's best two out of three spins. Maybe three out of five." Then continue spinning. Call in Liawatha or Pelosi to take a spin. They'll naturally refuse. Trump can then cite them for not wanting to participate in the nomination process. Keep spinning.

Then say, "That was fun. Terrific. The best. I'm going to sleep on this and let you know tomorrow afternoon." Then wait for the gnashing of teeth.

Then, without notice, Tweet at 5:00 AM, "Congratulations, Ted Cruz, on your selection to the open seat on SCOTUS. Look forward to 40+ years of constructionist jurisprudence. Let's MAGA!"

I wonder when one of the Progda outlets will get their White House press passes revoked for lying? If I were in PDT's administration and a formerly semi-reputable organization like the Ass-sociated Press published a blatant lie such as the one the other day about the Pentagon "purging" the armed forces of immigrant recruits, I'd be pushing for it.

It would send a message and a side benefit would be all the Prog heads all a'splodin'. I could see Sarah Sanders explaining this at the following presser: "We were forced to do this due to the many recent untrue stories. The American people expect the truth from news and they aren't getting it."

279 Busboys are now referred to as Runners. The world is insanely consumed by minutia.
Posted by: Gumby at July 09, 2018 04:57 PM (2LelM)

Because in a bygone era, busboys cleaned tables and took dishes to the kitchen. Now when you go out to eat , there is a hostess who seats you, a person who shows up to fill your water glass, another person who takes your order, a different person who brings you your drink while they try to guess who gets the margarita , another person brings your food and doesn't know who gets what or doesn't realize that you also ordered a side dish, or that you don't have silverware on your side of the table, then the person who took your order wanders by and asks how everything is, then later you find them by standing up and waving at them to bring your check, then unless you hand them your card immediately, you can sit there waiting again for them to pick up the card and check, then when they come back they remember they forgot your take home carton and you hope what they brought is actually your left over dinner and not Spike's three tables over.

Restaurants have gone all in on hiring the entire senior class at Rydell High and dinner out is more like work more often than not.

295 Adopting foreign children first rather than American children; I don't understand.

Barrett, it appears, adopted the Haitian children to join an already growing family; which is more comprehensible to me.

From heavy.com (the first in browser list):

Amy Barrett and her husband, Jesse, who is a federal prosecutor, have seven children together. Two of their children were born in Haiti, and they are also raising a special needs child. The children ranged in age from 5 to 16 last fall when Barrett introduced them during her nomination hearing to the federal bench.

I saw that puff piece was saying that Beto was going to win by campaigning in every county in Texas.

Ppl don't even think of that crap. They express shock and dismay that some folks consider that an okay thing to do.

This other stuff with all the GOP in gov getting harassed? Maybe it's a good thing. Show them how the other side really thinks of them.

I think what happened is that some SJW "journalists," along with Hillary's campaign team, plucked some random cartoon character from obscurity and evelated it to Supervillain status, saying that Pepe -- whom 99% of conservatives had never heard of -- was the secret symbol of the entire "alt-right," which encompassed all conservatives, doncha know.

Sensing an opportunity to ride a media wave, a bunch of jokesters (mostly on places like 4chan) then immediately jumped on the ludicrous claim, and EMBRACED Pepe as their new symbol, solely in order to troll the Left and get more publicity. And so the prediction became self-fulfilling.

In truth, "Pepe" is an artificially created media meme, which both sides promote for their own circles-within-circles purposes.

There's no Constitutional or Senate rule that says he can't vote for himself. Until he's actually been appointed and resigns his Senate seat, he is a fully-qualified Senator and completely entitled to vote.

Senators who get appointed to the Court have historically been approved by very large margins, though of course that might not be the case this time.

In all seriousness, I didn't know that you can sit in the SC gallery when it is in session. Their sessions are open to the public during arguments, etc. and you simply go to the SC early in the AM to get a ticket. I can't imagine for non lawyers that sitting listening to a bunch of lawyers recite cases and statute numbers all day for the 90% of cases that are not particularly interesting that you could sit there for long, but you're welcome to do so.
Apparently, the SC decides on average 127 cases a session, with almost all of them ignored by the media until it's a SJW case.

Sotomyer has issues with diabetes. Has trained her assistant to note when she gets wonky from low sugar. Is not that reassuring of her being in right mind 100% of the time? She passes out. Awesome.

Then there's sleepy Ruth, who has somehow survived pancreatic cancer while looking like a scarecrow in a wind tunnel. Who wants age of consent for sex to be lowered to 12 or 13 (can't remember which). I would say it is time for her to retire before she requires a drool bucket.

That leaves the wise Latino, who just rules for Dims as she was told.

So, basically, as long as the new judge votes with the Constitution I am fine.

Totally worth it, but man it sucked at that time.

Maybe that is the reason he was the second to the last man standing in 2016? He also had (had) a big grassroots support network. After his convention speech, he lost me.

But he was smart enough to exit the NeverTrumpers and endorse Trump before the election. He even stuck by Trump after the Billy Bush tape dropped, unlike some politicians (cough Ryan,cough).
