Wow. The White House is imploding and his supporters are pulling the victim card.

It’s like the mom who has the most disruptive kid in the whole school but claims that her lovely son would be better-behaved if the other kids weren’t so set against him.

No, ma’am. It is your son who doesn’t think the rules are for him! He has to use good manners and be respectful, just like everyone else. He has to do his own work, just like everyone else. He has to take responsibility for his own grades, just like everyone else. He is not going to get credit for work he has not done. He is not entitled to have people like him and he is not entitled to having things his own way. He has to work and play well with others before he gets to complain that no one wants to work or play with him.

When he starts doing work that is more substantial than announcing bullet points that he could have thought up in about 15 minutes, when he forms an intelligent course of action with the people in his adminstration before he shoots from the hip and makes some wild announcement that surprises them just as much as it does anyone else, when he figures out what message he has other than “adore me” and starts sticking to it, when he quits with the unnecessary personal attacks even on people in his own party, and he (heaven help us) learns what a real apology is and how making one is not degrading but mature, then we’ll talk about how unfair everyone is being to him.

Fair enough.

But didn’t Gorsuch say that abortion and gay marriage are settled law?

Also, didn’t he say that the fetus is not entitled to protection under the law?

Good points.

So why Gorsuch is praised baffles me.

Often when I read posts such as this one which on CAF is frequently, I get the impression Trump could indeed shoot someone on Fifth Ave and as long as he nominated Gorsuch, that’s all that matters to many here.

But in the statement you’re referring Trump didn’t just say “I would still have *some *people voting for me”, he said that he wouldn’t lose any votes.

The media likewise played up the image of him as “Teflon Don”.
You can thank Mitch though for holding up the seat for a year. What puzzles me though is even if Roe is ever overturned and the matter is returned to the states, what’s going to keep women from traveling to a state where abortion would still be legal to obtain a legal one or poor women who can’t afford to travel from procuring an illegal abortion if she sees no way out due to her economic conditions and if there is not enough support in terms of social and educational programs in place so she doesn’t feel a need to choose to end her pregnancy? But it seems if nominating Gorsuch is all that comes of the Trump Presidency, nevermind for instance if there remains sick people without healthcare or if tens of millions lose theirs as was projected in the case of each Republican plan that was voted on this year, ya’ll will consider his term a success.

Even now, a wealthy woman could travel to a state where third-trimester abortions are legal. I pray those states will change their laws soon.

Mitch McConnell should be thanked for the SC Justice not Trump.

I’m amazed at the faith people have in Mitch McConnel just so they can side-swipe Trump.

There’s nothing to ROTFLOL about in regards to what PV said. PV spoke the truth. Mitch did hold the seat open for a year and then once the voters let him get away with doing so and he got his way, he then changed how many votes were required for confirmation. Yes I know Harry had done so for lower courts but not the Supreme.

Some people, so wedded to the politics of division, project that the only thing that matters is in-group/out-group division. So giving “credit” to Mitch, at the expense of Trump, is essentially incomprehensible and seems funny to them.

A truly productive and Catholic discussion…

She accused me of double standards, when that is not true, so whether you think that’s productive, is of no concern to me, it’s productive to me for the reasons I mentioned.

Speaking as a daily observer, it’s quite true.

If that’s the case then prove it, i.e., I have never whined or attacked anyone for the political choices they’ve made, unless they are doing so to people who supported Trump. And that therein lies the difference.

Instead of attacking those who don’t agree with Trump supporters, you should re-read your signature line and thank them.

I probably need to re-read mine.
