This is the thing that gets me the most about the US system. The Supreme Court shouldn’t have that much input into social policy in the first place. Congress should be dictating agenda and legislating more clearly - not outsourcing the problem.

lol

Obviously Dan is to blame - I just want to know was it Donald or Melania who had sex with a Victorian security guard.

Nancy can finally nuke the southern states.

Yeh but they can't do that unless they win.

  Why don;t those things affect Asian minorities, who have the highest incomes of all? Or even Hispanics.  But blacks?

The reasons are in fact "not" complex. What explains those things is that 75% of black kids grow up in single parent families.  And the teenage pregnancy rates are double that of whites.  Fix that and I guarantee all the negative outcome-not causes- but outcomes that result in poverty, will be fixed.

Good luck getting the Democrats and the Looney Left to admit that and than actually do something about it though.

When Obama identified that problem, and also identified that is own people would not admit it was problem, he was castigated by his side of politics They'd rather have kids idolize black rappers calling black women ho's, bragging about how many they can screw in anight, how many robberies they committed, how many people they shoot, and how the white man made them do it.  And then you expect those boys  to respect women, take responsibility for their children, get an education and get a job?

The majority of black American culture is FUBAR.

Romney nailed it when he said:

Speaking to reporters, Romney said that he prefers Supreme Court justices who are "strict constructionists." The senator said this means justices who "look at the law itself and the Constitution, as opposed to sort of looking into the sky and pulling out ideas that they think may be more appropriate than the law or the Constitution."

"I recognize that we may have a court which has more of a conservative bent than it's had over the last few decades," he said. "But my liberal friends have over many decades gotten very used to the idea of having a liberal court. And that's not written in the stars."

One would assume there’s other high level figures who will now have it

Yup. This whole thing got to a whole new level of messy.

What a year.

Chain of command goes to Nancy if Trump and Pence are incapacitated. 

Biden might have it as well. They were literally just few meters away screaming bile at each other for a couple of hours. 

How good are the conspiracy theories gonna be!!

It usually takes three weeks for someone to die of covid, being 74 years old imagine if he karked it just a week before the election lol

No sign of Pence getting it, but oh boy if they both died or became incapacitated it's popcorn time, because next in line is Nancy Pelosi!

Imagine if Trump and Pence won somehow but both died after election day, that would really shake things up.

What are you talking about? Replacing a dead justice with than an alive one isn’t the same as replacing zero dead ones with three alive ones they conform to your political philosophy.

I take it next debate is off then

Well they can't do that till they win can they lol?

Trump is trying to do that now to contest an election.

Annnnnnnnnnndddddddddddddd he's tested positive for COVID 19 lol.

What happens if him and Pence both go down hard?

Chain of command?

Paused elections?

If you’re born black, poor or disadvantaged the best way to change that is to get an education, rather than moaning about systemic racism and waiting for reparations. There are obviously lots of black kids who are born into poverty and manage to dig themselves out, so it’s not like these pathways don’t exist or there are laws that deny black people social mobility.

Imagine if they empowered black children by telling them they can do whatever they want in life and be anything they want to be, rather telling them their POTUS hates them, that they live under an oppressive white supremacist regime and their best chance in life is to loot and vote Democrat.

None of that explains the appalling levels of illiteracy and graduation among blacks. Even when you balance for income level, family history etc, the reality is blacks , as a collective group, are well behind other races in terms of academic and job performance. The reasons for this are complex, but laying the blame entirely on systemic racism is a cop out designed to assuage blacks from taking responsibility for their own economic development. It’s racially insensitive to tell an economically depressed class of people that they are accountable and responsible, but in order to solve a problem you must first diagnose it correctly. There are lots of groups throughout history who have faced real systemic racism and managed to prosper through hard work and determination. For whatever reasons, probably a mix of culture and government welfare, blacks do not share this work ethic, so they turn to crime and lean on government to get by. 

At the end of the day it’s all about choices. You can either choose the path of education, get educated and forge a career. Or you can reject education and continue the cycle of economic struggle, while whinging about systemic racism and waiting for reparations day. Every black kid has the same opportunity to go to school, become literate and earn a high school diploma as any other kid, that they don’t is less to do with systemic racism and more to do with culture and the welfare polices that disincentive education and personal responsbility.

Yeah good rebuttal but something, something Rusty logic.

Fuck you for having the temerity to be born black, poor or disadvantaged.  Fuck you all cunce.

So we'll just ignore Florida and Texas shall we?  With the 2nd and 3rd most deaths?  What's that?  They have republican governors?  https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

The 3 states you listed are culturally the most diverse, most travelled, and most likely to have been in contact with overseas visitors or people returning home.  Those states also have democrat leaders.  Correlation is not causation.  

4% of the worlds population.  20% of the deaths.  That's the only stat that you need to know. 

Probably 150 000 more than would have died had an adult been in charge.

But whatever.  Trump could literally admit he molested children and Trumpsters wouldn't care.

Those are apparently organic reasons...

Have you ever stopped to think that high crime and high illiteracy rates may just be a consequence of a poorer standard of education in inner city areas with dysfunctional, broke as fuck local governments who don't have the resources available to provide kids a decent standard education?

Have you ever stopped to think this may tie in with the history of segregation and a continuous cycle of poverty that most majority black communities have yet to break out of in the years following the civil rights movement?

Possibly, just possibly, could that be described as "systemic?" 

What about the Dems threats to pack the Supreme Court? Note that is isn’t just empty threats, they threatened to pack it prior to RBG kicking the bucket, to restore a liberal majority to the court.

It feels like all the hoopla about DT refusing to leave office and having to send in B2 bombers and a joint NATO strike force to get it done is a red herring to distract from fake impeachment scandals, large scale voter fraud, defunding police, condoning Antifa, Supreme Court packing and other attacks the Democrats have instigated on Democracy. Regardless of what you think about DT it seems me to  Democrats are 1000 worse and the continuous finger pointing at Trump is a convenient way to distract from their crimes.

Awwww looks like he won't agree to changes haha

For context for those that don't realise;

This is why Trump is rushing the SCOTUS appointment, he is 100% going to challenge this all the way up the chain.
