Justice Roberts can say what he wants, but the 9th Circuit is a complete & total disaster. It is out of control, has a horrible reputation, is overturned more than any Circuit in the Country, 79%, & is used to get an almost guaranteed result. Judges must not Legislate Security...

....and Safety at the Border, or anywhere else. They know nothing about it and are making our Country unsafe. Our great Law Enforcement professionals MUST BE ALLOWED TO DO THEIR JOB! If not there will be only bedlam, chaos, injury and death. We want the Constitution as written!

Agreed! Happy Thanksgiving!
How can you possibly defend this? Will you finally admit that Trump has crossed the line?
And if any of you say "but Obama criticized Citizens United in the State of the Union Speech, what about that?", I will reach through the internet and throttle you.
Wait. Weren't they on the same side? Wasn't Robert's teeing up?
Jibbers, you cannot remember what you were arguing yesterday.
I recently met a federal judge. She went out of her way to mention Kavanaugh. Her statement was that he should not have been allowed on the Supreme Court because she had a feeling that he was not worthy.
Go Donnie go!!
What will you say next? SMG looks hot in that shirt?

History starts anew for feder as his eyes open from slumber
Check out Sen Charles Grassely response to Roberts.
In short Roberts didn't give a shit when Obama went after SCOTUS in his SoU address. The leftist have been calling Citizen United a criminal act by SCOTUS since it was decided. Funny that when the Constitution states that 'congress shall make no law restricted the freedom of speach', and when congress enacts a law that limits speech, SCOTUS knocks it down.
Obama's railing against SCOTUS is legendary, but Feder has zero historic perspective.
Roberts is playing Gracie's part in the Burns and Allen Show. It just shows that the Judicial branch has no police powers at the borders with foreign invaders. None at all.
Good thing Lincoln never went after Taney.
I will reach through the internet and throttle you.
Come here and see the violence inherent in leftism!
i.e. "Thanks, but no thanks"
There's a reason we call it the 9th circus of hell.
Throw another log on that Thanksgiving conversational fire! It's cold outside on the East coast.

People like you have no standing whatsoever to demand decent behavior from anyone.
The attacks on the Citizens United reveals a lot about the Left. They don't say why it was wrong, they just say that it was incorrectly decided.
Obama's JD argued that the federal government, the supposed guardian of the Bill of Rights, had the right to pull books from store shelves, seize them in warehouses, delete them from your e-reader. They wanted to ban political speech at the time of elections.
And they call Trump "authoritarian."
I agree that judges need to be brought down to earth. Your honor my ass, they are just roadkill like the rest of us. However, slagging off judges when phoning in a holiday greeting to the troops is disgusting. Is it no wonder that Bone Spurs and Anal Cyst are you peoples biggest heros. They allow you to wallow in the sewer of degenerate pride and stupidity. No wonder their fans are addicted to obesity and opioids. Gorked out on smack and insulin shock does that
He shouldn't back off. Not for one day. He is absolutely right
Trump is more on the side of Truth -- Roberts is defending, in advance, the crimes that will be committed by illegals.
Trump will mention those crimes.
Were the illegals not allowed to be in, or stay in, the US, those illegals would not commit the crimes -- Roberts and the judges of the 9th Circuit are NOT doing their best to protect US citizens from illegal alien criminals.
Many folk in Central California already feel they are living with bedlam & chaos due to the immunity many illegal alien criminals act as if they have, and many many small illegal thefts and problems which the police do not protect them against. See some VDH posts about this.
Bedlam, chaos, injury, death--in other words, the Four Horsemen that usually follow after statism. The very words probably bring a tingle to the crotches of Inga, Pee Pee and the other Staatshtuppers.

Well, that's EXACTLY what millions of us are saying, and whaddaya gonna do about it?
It happens to be the perfect rejoinder to the claims that:
*Trump is the first POTUS to issue such comments about SCOTUS or the inferior courts.
See: https://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/29/us/politics/29scotus.html
https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/when-presidents-think-about-defying-the-courts
* Roberts said SQUAT when Obama directly challenged the Supreme Court on national TV, at the 2010 SOTU speech. Why not? And why now, especially since Trump was attacking an inferior court judge, not the Supremes themselves?
Surely Chief Justice Roberts knows that the lower courts are a creature of Congress, and not the Constitution, and thus could be altered or even abolished if Congress so willed. IOW those courts and their judges are not beyond criticism.
But Feder, who wasn't just born yesterday, but last night to boot, knows nothing of American history. He'd rather strangle those who do. Or maybe take a bike lock to us.
I think I prefer our LLR Craig/Chuck as just LLR Chuck, and not this new amalgam.

Sacto_Dave: "sarc- It's so heartwarming to see how Justice Roberts has grown in office./sarc"
Let's hope he doesn't grow in office to Souter proportions.
But I don't have a good feeling about it after Roberts literally rewrote obamacare on the spot to the political benefit of the dems.
Also, I love everyone giving a pass to Trump's (once-again) disconnect from the facts. You know which circuit is overturned the at the highest rate? It isn't the 9th... But keep on foaming idiots.

Drago,
Please. You've been saying that for years now. At some point, just call me the new, old amalgam, idiot.
True statements from POTUS Trump.
A lot of judges are social justice warriors - maybe very earnest and well-meaning SJWs, but still SJWs. And these also seem to tend to think they are not only judges, but Supreme Court justices.
Very few people voted for Philosopher King Roberts, so he should keep his mouth shut.
LLR Craig/Chuck: "Also, I love everyone giving a pass to Trump's (once-again) disconnect from the facts."
Trump makes note that there is a difference in judicial philosophy of a judge depending upon which President appoints that judge.
A difference the media and dems have made note of and campaigned on for 60 years.
LLR Craig/Chuck thinks Trump is wrong to do what every single other person has been doing for 60 years.
I think LLR Craig/Chuck is still reeling from having every single simpering LLR in the Cuck media exposed as being funded directly by big money leftists.
And the big money leftists are certainly getting their money's worth.

I'll give you time to keep reading...
Every now and then someone will come right out and say the King has no clothes.
Trump specializes in that; he calls them as he sees them. And he's not the only one who can do that. Every now and then (the frequency of that depends upon one's point of view) he runs around naked as a jaybird his own orange haired self and his opponents call him on that. He is an imperfect human being.
But there is virtue in the ability to see a spade--and call it a bloody shovel--if that is what is. And that's Trump's followers see and approve.
Craig: "Please. You've been saying that for years now"
Feel free to post a single instance of my having said that from say, any post prior to 2017.
This should be fun.
Precisely the sort of thing LLR Chuck would assert....
LOL
Oops--the last line should read "that's what Trump's followers see and approve."
How can you possibly defend this? Will you finally admit that Trump has crossed the line?
Roberts picked the fight with Trump, not the other way around. Lefties see no line that cannot be crossed including, obviously, red lines in Syria; why should Trump, and people like me who defend Trump, recognize a line? Smacks of unilateral disarmament. Or civility bullshit.
As to Freder’s quaint threats, I teach cybersecurity. It is I who can reach through the Internet.
Good thing Lincoln never went after Taney.
There is no evidence that Lincoln disagreed with Taney, and some that at least implies that he agreed with him.
By today's standards Lincoln professed to be a racist, just one that thought that slavery was evil anyway. But even then he would have allowed slavery to continue to preserve the Union.
LLR Chuck often gets confused about what others have been writing about him and for how long.
LLR Craig/Chuck makes precisely the same mistake. In precisely the same way. Using precisely the same tone and syntax.
The Germans have a word for that.
Trump's doing exactly what I want him to do. Giving pokes in the eyes to the oh so many who think they're better than the rest of us.
And BTW, always add the Honeycrisp apples and tangerine slices to the homemade cranberry sauce AFTER the sauce has completely cooled down in order to maintain the integrity of the apple and tangerine slices.
Could Roberta have suo moto(?) Lifted this 9 circuit TRO ??!!@@ with tweet no less.

Narayanan Subramanian: "Or is Trump preparing Base for Supremes smackdown."
Or is Roberts signalling his willingness to again rewrite the law in the dems favor to help complete fake-dossier/Stasi-like coup?
Roberts is correct, that an independent judiciary, which rules according to the law in being, would be a fine thing. But I'm afraid it is difficult to see how that has any bearing on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Well, Roberts showed he could be bullied by Obama, so Trump throws an elbow his way. As many here have noted, the press has been noting who appointed judges in controversial cases ever ever since the Reagan years. Roberts is pretending, and Trump is ranting. Trump is trying to bully him. It has worked before.
Roberts is a brilliant legal mind. He sucks as a politician. This was as predictable as the sun rising. Obama judges, Trump judges, Bush judges, etc. are in common usage in the media and political arenas. Also, Roberts is subject to valid criticism that he said nothing when Obama attacked the Court.
During every controversial court nominee, Justices talk about their professionalism and lack of interest in the political fight, never admitting that their decisions since the Warren Court have made the courts an extension (and final arbiter) of partisan politics. Their insistence that politics never, ever enter their decision insults the intelligence.
They should have waited until Black Friday before forum shopping.

You DO know, I hope, the difference between empty/unsupported assertions and making an argument "on the merits".
Roberts is correcting Trump, in pointing out the need for mutual back scratching among the branches of government, on which his own stature depends in the absence of actual virtue.
Obama judges, Trump judges, Bush judges, etc. are in common usage in the media and political arenas.
And lawfare firms.
Fify
The chief requirement of law is not that it be just, or fair, or equitable, but that it be predictable. As long as that is true, people have a large leeway to adjust their conduct so as to make use of that predictability. When it is necessary that the law should change, we have a legislature to change it. This process has the advantage that you can see it coming, and plan accordingly. When an "activist" judge rules according to his sense of the fitness of things, he stands revealed as a tyrannical monster, unfaithful to his oath, eager to use the coiled violence of the State against the rest of us.

I see you deleted the post where you first issued the challenge to change it. Presumably because you realized your first challenge was wrong. And you lucked out: I was busy finding the evidence against you instead of watching for a bait-and-switch. Slick move.
You want to claim that you win this? Fine. We can agree that you've been making this claim for longer than one year. In the spirit of comity, I will come to that concession -- you have been boring us in this particular regard for over a year. Your fuck-up deletion trick, however, is a new one!
You still haven't figured out the point of the 9th Circuit comment, have you? You're 12, right? A 12 year old who is just angry on the internet, right? Poor li'l baby!
Craig apparently believes that the people of the United States and their constitution give national security oversight to unelected, partisan judges.
He would be wrong in that.

Jay! Sweet little Jay! Jay Jay Jay! The point of the Althouse forums is not to make arguments "on the merits." If that was the point, half of the gang here would be out of place. The point is to have a far-right conservative echo zone which surprisingly ends up with $$$ in the retired professor's pocket.
Nonetheless, in the spirit of optimism, I offer this brief lesson: An empty assertion (an assertion without content) is not the same as an unsupported assertion (as assertion provided without further reasons to believe the assertion). There are very few truly empty assertions in regular dialogue. There are many unsupported assertions. (<-- That last sentence is an unsupported assertion; it is not an empty assertion.) You would not need an argument "on the merits" for an empty assertion. (Indeed, what the hell would such an argument even be? Any support would be superfluous!)
Sure, I wish he'd behave with a little more decorum. But he's right and he gets results. Nicer approaches have not done the same.
Maybe if we had a real news media, where journalists do their jobs, it would be different. But we don't.

LLR Drago, I am smiling a big old smile. You posted something, you deleted it. You posted something else. Now you're pointing to the something else. That's exactly what I said you were doing, and now you're doing it again. You're a #1 Champ!
It's an interesting tactic LLR Craig/Chuck is employing.
Let's see if it works.
The Trump Reality Show must go on regardless of the weather, disasters, time of day, Holiday or not. The President, who is an empty vessel, can never get enough attention from his adoring cult. Whether attention seeking or just plain nuttery, he has no business POTUS.
What a shame such a man was elevated to the highest office in the Land.
LLR Drago knows that his tracks are covered up by the deleted comment at 11:18. Luckily, the evidence is already being chewed up by blogspot, and LLR Drago can just yell and yell to cover it up. Anyway, I admitted you were right! I admitted I was wrong! It has not been more than 23 months. It has only been well over a year! You're accusations are only really, really old, not super duper old! You're right; I was wrong! You should be happy!
Also, Roberts is subject to valid criticism that he said nothing when Obama attacked the Court.
Nope. Wrong. Invalid. Obama never attacked any court (or even the judiciary as an institution) as constantly, venally, ignorantly or aggressively as Trump does. I think it's possible Trump is unsurpassed in presidential history for how badly he goes about this.
Roberts was justified in at least registering as mild a dissent as historians and citizens looking back at this sad era of time in many years will wonder if anyone with any power or publicity had the good sense to do.
Here's what Roberts said well after Obama's criticism of the Supremes in the 2010 SOTU speech:
“Some people, I think, have an obligation to criticize what we do,** given their office **, if they think we’ve done something [wrong],” said Roberts, responding to a University of Alabama student’s question in March 2010. “So I have no problems with that. On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum. The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering, while the court, according to the requirements of protocol, has to sit there, expressionless, I think is very troubling.”
Yet he felt compelled to address presidential tweets.
And it's *Trump* who is "rebuked" for supposedly doing something both unprecedented and unpresidential, for criticizing a specific judge in a specific circuit for "what they do".
Snort.

Inga: "The Trump Reality Show must go on regardless of the weather, disasters, time of day, Holiday or not."
It is true that Presidencies are not suspended due to weather or disasters, time of day, Holiday's or not.

The President honors our men and women on the front lines, on the borders, and on the bridges. Commitment to uphold The Constitution for the People and our [unPlanned] Posterity does not take a holiday.

How true that is.
This should become one of his new nicknames: Empty Vessel.
Whatever gets the rageaholic the love he lacks.
He is a prostitute to the people. Or at least, a prostitute to the people's paranoia.
That's Trump. He hit up on age 70 and realized that hateful self-love just wasn't enough any more. He's trying to branch out, late in life, at garnering hateful other-love.
Other hateful Americans, that is. As long as they're the "right" demographic.

That are non-stop, over-the-top, usually wrong - horribly wrong, actually (American judges being too "Mexican" to decide a case - even Paul Ryan had to call out that one), and dangerous.

Which is why they voted for Trump over the gal who lied about dodging sniper fire in Bosnia.
Drago, your over the top sychophancy whould be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.
Trump is losing support...fast...among the military and veterans groups.
Inga: "Drago, your over the top sychophancy whould be funny if it weren’t so pathetic"
Its not my fault Hillary lied about dodging sniper fire in Bosnia, ordered active duty officers at State events to serve drinks, and ordered staffers in the white house not to make eye contact with her.
It's also not my fault the vast majority of military active duty members and retiree voters preferred Trump over Hillary.
Inga: "Trump is losing support...fast...among the military and veterans groups"
LOL
No, he's not.
Trump is losing support...fast...among the military and veterans groups.
Can't he buy them off with another few hundred billion to the Pentagon the way he paid off the hedge fund traders with that tax cut of theirs he made such a priority?
He really is just a total prostitute. A slumlord prostitute.
Well, at least we know that's the kind of sex he prefers. Maybe he secretly wanted to be one of the porn stars he lusted after instead of a phony gameshow board room executive.
PPPT: "Can't he buy them off with another few hundred billion to the Pentagon the way he paid off the hedge fund traders with that tax cut of theirs he made such a priority?"
That's what PPPT thinks of the military.
And Inga loves PPPT.
Discuss.

Good luck making good on that "vast majority" claim...
Trump thought he could buy himself some Pentagonal love with a few hundred billion more in American military debt that they didn't ask for or need.
LLR Craig/Chuck: "Good luck making good on that "vast majority" claim..."
Thank you.
That's what PPPT thinks of the military.
What? That they can live within America's budgetary economic means?
If you don't want America to fund them responsibly then why don't you redesign their uniforms, remove the stars and stripes from them and replace those symbols with a red PRC flag with the five yellow stars on it?
PPPT: "If you don't want America to fund them responsibly then why don't you redesign their uniforms, remove the stars and stripes from them and replace those symbols with a red PRC flag with the five yellow stars on it?"
Your confusion is duly noted.
In your defense, you have not reached, on this subject, the level of incoherence you demonstrated on the causal factors for humans pooping on San Francisco sidewalks.
For that, I congratulate you.
Drago seems to be admitting that he can't figure out how to fund the amount of military welfare make-work goodie-goodies that he defines as a priority mission or identify a Republican who can competently run a major city in America. And increasingly, even red state senate seats.
You keep coming up emptier and emptier, Drag-O.
Maybe he's a drag on America. Drag. O.
Drag on America.
Trump is a great showman indeed if he can buy people off with their own money.
Over population !!
Global Cooling !!
Global Warming!!
Climate Change !!!
Trump !!!
The sky is falling .
Life is good.
PPPT: "Drago seems to be admitting that he can't figure out how to fund the amount of military welfare make-work goodie-goodies that he defines as a priority mission..."
Interesting.
Inga, any comments on PPPT's "military welfare make-work goodie-goodies" comment?

Throw another log on that Thanksgiving conversational fire! It's cold outside on the East coast.
If it wasn’t for the fact that I am an atheist I would assume that the extreme cold temperatures in the Northeast are God’s judgement on them for voting Democrat. However every once in a while things happen to make me doubt my doubts.
You might think he'd back off for a day, but no, the confrontation with Chief Justice Roberts rages on:
You’d think Trump would allow the leftists at Thanksgiving dinner to determine the source of their Trump outrage, but he’ll steer them toward a topic where they’ll be easily defeated.
Thanks Trump!
Asked who should be held responsible for Khashoggi's death, the president said Thursday, "Maybe the world should be held accountable because the world is a vicious place."
Translation: To Hell with the rule of law! Kill whoever, wherever and whenever you want or need to do so.
Mostly applies for the benefit of mentally sick authoritarians unable to discern right from wrong.
Life is good.
Maybe for cheapskates like Full Mound.
But here's the thing about cheapskates: Eventually people get fed up with them.
Hey, though. At least Drag O is happy that Trump is enough of a cheapskate to only spend the American people's money.
And on war machines that we don't need and that the warriors don't want.
But there are bases in red states that provide jobs that otherwise wouldn't be there. And for that, Drag O is happy to spend some extra Democratic blue state tax revenue money.
And if any of you say "but Obama criticized Citizens United in the State of the Union Speech, what about that?", I will reach through the internet and throttle you.
Civility bullshit.
Just the occasional reminder that Trump's reference to the 9th Circuit leading the getting-overturned race is alternatively false or a base-rate fallacy. Either Trump isn't thinking clearly or he is hoping his people can't think clearly. Or both. The real baddie, getting-overturned-wise, is the much more conservative 6th. But facts. Who wants facts.

I don't think you know what "civility bullshit" means.
Drago's belief that militarism needs to be made more profitable with blue state Democratic taxpayer revenues is a charming one, to say the least.
And all this time some people just thought they actually did it for the patriotism.
Thank god we have Drago to speak up for the military contractors. It's a highly disreputable job, but some sleaze bag has to do it!
There is no evidence that Lincoln disagreed with Taney, and some that at least implies that he agreed with him.
@Gahrie, Google the following: Lincoln Taney habeus corps
Gahrie parrots distortions and half truths about Lincoln. In fact Lincoln and the Republicans started acting against slavery immediately after he took office. Read Freedom National.
"You might think he'd back off for a day...."
No, I wouldn't. Trump is a bully. Bullies do as bullies are.
That Trump tweet pales in comparison to his disrespectful denial of global warming yesterday.
Trump confused the cold weather in the east with climate.
What a maroon !
He will be sorry when the earth and everything on it is dead from ozone poisoning. See who laughs then.
No, I wouldn't. Trump is a bully. Bullies do as bullies are
They bring a knife, Trump brings a gun.
Of course the citizens United complaint was foolish because Obama was the int that made use of superpacs the most.

You are absolutely wrong.
Net neutrality already killed us all.

Althouse: “The "calls for him to cool his overheated rhetoric" are what I've been calling "civility bullshit" for years. It's always only aimed at the other side. They want you to stop fighting them with vigor, and they have no intention of stopping fighting you.”
Demands for “civility” are often made uncivily.
Thanksgiving Day is Judgement Day here at Althouse.

Only stable geniuses look directly at eclipses.
It must be nice having a leader who's finally as dumb (and as cheap) as you! So rarely are people so careless as to choose someone that incompetent. It must make you feel good about yourself, which doesn't happen often.
Sun is shining.
Life is good.
It looks like someone doesn't know how to quote again.
But he does seem to know that sunshine is good. So let's congratulate him on having a pre-schooler's sense of appreciation for the weather and how it works.
Expecting anything more from him would be cruel. He didn't flunk out of seven years of school for nuthin', you know!
Every time a developer asks him about the job he fucked up or cheated them out of, he reminds them of his intellectual and educational deficiencies. He's proud of them!
Can't he go throw a football with his son?
Full Moan is doing meth and doing his copy and paste thing, again.
What kind of point he's trying to make with it or how he interpreted it (if he could) is anyone's guess. But that's just what stupid people do.
Hey, at least he deleted his tweet - I mean, his comment - about how much blue states in 2011 were increasing their pay and posting record employment numbers, or whatever.
Go out and stare at the sun, Full Moan. It's calling to you.
Hoisted on his own pertard.
That's four comments in a row now that he's deleted.
This is a man who stands behind what he thinks!
Or at least, who stands behind what TRUMP SAYS!
It's fun to know who's holding his leash.

Micheal mann hockey stick is a lie.
You seem to hurt really bad every time Trump is beclowned.
Do you pee with his toadstool penis, too?
Are you like the Elliott to his E.T.?
Do you feel his pain?
Trust me, just because you're stupid doesn't mean he cares about you, Fool Moan. He'll throw you under that bus just like he will everyone else.
You are what the Soviets were talking about when they coined the term "useful idiot."
In your case, you just happen to be a very energetic useful idiot. With nothing to do but rapid machine-gun fire comment posts about how blue states post record employment and wage increase in 2011.
Interesting.
THere's a fifth consecutive deleted comment.
It seems that these Trump zombies just can't stand behind anything they say now, doesn't it.
And if any of you say "but Obama criticized Citizens United in the State of the Union Speech, what about that?", I will reach through the internet and throttle you.
The punk didn't criticize Citizens United. He insulted the entire Court. In public.
So kindly fuck off, Freder.

Yep. It all started when Trump punched back, cause he’s the bully. Suuuuure.

That guy's comment was just awesome.
Her reaction was totally clueless.
American women are dumber than a bag of rocks.
Just remember, Fool Moan: Trump has to be right!
Or how else you gonna feel less stupid?
What colors did you see when you stared into that solar eclipse, Fool Moan?
Did you see dragons and unicorns and lollipops?
Lol!

I take the red pill every day on gender and identity politics. It didn't take me long into college and then the work world to realize that American women hate their bodies
Butterflies and moonbeams and zebras. And fairy tales.
Staring into the sun....
You know Full Moan has worked itself into a full lather of madness when he posts like that. Something has apparently massively triggered him.
Be less angry, Full Moan. I know it must be aggravating being as stupid as you are. But do try.
Good boy! Trump get you a doggie treat! Pant pant!
Full Moan is now doing its whole "he's not enough of a feminist!" routine.
Yawn. That's when he gets really boring.
You're so much more appreciative of the American female than anyone, Fool Moan. After all, isn't one supporting you financially?
Oh, and now here comes the breast comment. Apparently he's anti-breasts, as well.
Inga, Craig and Ritmo spewing shit all over the thread.
Apparently, their own families can't stand them, either.
Next will be his "ATM" (pornographic "ass-to-mouth") comment.
The one that revealed him to be a closeted homo or trans-boy.
Awww Jim. Your family doesn't let you alone before 2 PM? That's so sad.
But I guess that's what happens when you're living in their basement. It is their basement, after all.
He's very sensitive about people who hate their bodies. After all, it hates its own comments.
It's only deleted, what... like 7 of them already?
Fool Moan is like a self-comment deleting machine! It was made to delete its own comments.
Apparently it doesn't even know what it's own opinion is on net neutrality, either. It seems it just feels it's just too "activist" to do anything about.
Damn. Life must have gotten really hard for it after Old Man Michael K. left. It's having trouble fending for itself, now.
Oh, Lord it's hard to be humble
When I'm perfect in every way..
Reposting the same comment over and over and over again (just for attention) is a great way for it to prove how accustomed it is to being ignored.
On a more serious note,
How 'bout those record cold temps and early snow. eh?
I only see one person posting all-caps. And not ironically. (Not that it knows what "ironic" means).
Althouse changes her rules from time to time. There is no time stamp (or source reference) on that "quote," so we'll just have to take a serial idiot and liar's word for it on where or when it came from.
Or maybe not.
Again. It's used to being ignored. Of that we can be abundantly certain.
It is to laugh !
Kevin, Freder wasn't calling for people to cool their rhetoric. He was calling for them not to be idiots. That's why Freder wasn't engaging in civility bullshit.
“You should stand down while I will not” is the foundation of civility bullshit.
Note how he never classifies his own arguments as “idiotic” but preemptively dismisses the arguments of others he doesn’t wish to discuss.
“Life must have gotten really hard for it after Old Man Michael K. left. It's having trouble fending for itself, now.”
This is from the guy who complained about being talked about when he wasn’t here.
PeePee gonna finally get some perfect breast today..
Get it?
Breast, turkey, PeePee incel
Just kidding !
How 'bout those record cold temps and early snow. eh?
I only quote this as a case study for how stupid and reckless right-wing blowhards are.
The creature being quoted does not comprehend the difference between a global average and wherever it "observed" a record cold. When the jet streams are deformed by climate change then fronts can breach further south than they would have when the jet stream constraining the Canadian Shield existed.
I learned about the Canadian Shield in something like 6th grade. Apparently this was also one of the grades it (Fool Moan) flunked.
The blowhards also don't seem to understand how snow starts as moisture that then falls as precipitation. It's not possible for increased moisture to be absorbed into the atmosphere and then fall without warmer temps where it originates.
Full Moan literally thinks snow gets magically into the air not as water vapor, but as snow!
You can't make this stuff up!
Maybe it's a warning. Treat judges as if they're smart or we'll screw every decision you want to win. A judicial horse's head in the bed.
PeePee gonna taste a breast today,
Long time, no taste..
Just kidding !
So you want Trump to back off but not those criticizing him? What absolute fantasy world do you live in?
Atomic Bomb !
Over population !

Climate change!

GENOMES!
Ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopie, we all gonna die !
This is from the guy who complained about being talked about when he wasn’t here.
As usually, you are exceedingly, horribly bad at getting the point. K. extricated himself from this place suddenly, apparently permanently and somewhat dramatically. As such, he doesn't really get to complain to people here about what they say about him - since, by definition, he can't and won't be here. The not-here-to-defend-himself defense doesn't apply.
But if you want to do his dirty work for him, I'd predict that that's just the kind of shameless unrequested bootlicking you'd be up for.
K. brought shit up just to complain. When I mentioned K. it was to point out how lost Fool Moan feels without him. So I wasn't even really saying anything against K. It's more of an observation about how useless Fool Moan is.
I have to believe you can't really be this stupid to not understand what I'm saying.
Treat judges as if they're smart or we'll screw every decision you want to win.
I remember people thinking Obama had shot himself in the foot at the SOTU, and this would make SCOTUS more likely to rule against Obamacare. Didn't quite work out that way, though.
Anyway, chickie - I'm sure you still love me. I've not been anywhere near as mean to you today (or any other day) as your family is. You should try being nice every now and then. That requires a sense of understanding.
Unless you're Fool Moan. It thinks it can be a decent guy without understanding jack shit - other than for how much contempt it feels for anyone smarter or more successful in life than it is.
I think that the best part of "A Christmas Carol" is at the end when Scrooge pretends to be the mean old Scrooge again and curses out Bob Cratchet. Cratchet is so fucking scared!
