I'm not sure what you think I could have done differently as a voter, but I'm pretty sure you just insulted me, and everyone else here.

Paul Ryan - who declined to run again in 2018 probably because he was afraid of losing - was Speaker of the House after that election. Pelosi was the minority leader.

Yet they're still laying the blame on Pelosi, Schumer, the Dems...
They fkd it up & still refuse to admit their role.

So I ask they own their role & be quiet.

It's simple, as we watch every human & civil right fought hard for over the past 50 years disappear with the SC nom in the Senate & demanding Pelosi & her Congress get tougher & fight with that 2016 butter knife handed her.

Sick of the hypocrisy of those who rage against our Dems still today when they gave them nothing but a butter knife back in 2016. We needed the wrecking ball.

Just Vote 💙 ffs.

You do get that there are two chambers in Congress. The House and the Senate. The Senate confirms Supreme Court nominees and Pelosi is the Speaker of the House.

Voters gave Pelosi a majority. If Democrats had a majority in the Senate this confirmation wouldn't be happening. None of this has anything to do with either the House or Pelosi.

Maybe learn more and rant less.

Pelosi's push for more stimulus aide has now gone up in flames as well.

Thanks Trump!!

If the House was 435 Democrats and 0 Republicans this confirmation would still be happening.

None of this would be happening with the SC in the Senate NOR the Stimulus in the House had those who still just can't stop calling them weak, failed to give the Dems the wrecking ball they needed in 2016.

Their hypocrisy reeks.

So stop blaming this shitshow on Pelosi, Schumer, Dems... at least twice a day here.

If you're not part of that then this doesn't apply to you.

It's pretty simple.

was originally proposed by Steve Bannon in the early days thru social media, as a denigrating label they wanted to stick to HRC, along with several other one word (& easy to remember) campaign slogans, to damage her & slow her campaign down.

Yup. It was Bannon that started the"Establishment" label.

Guess who carried it forward!..

Sickening shit huh.
And they're still at it this day.

Pity what we are about to lose because they gave it all away back in of 2016.

I was here. I saw all the "conscience" voters, the ones who said SCOTUS wasn't important.

Some of them left this site bc they couldn't call HRC a c#nt here.
