you know crap is bad for Trump when stunted disappears completely.

You must have missed his "politics are toxic" good-bye post. It included a dig at you. I think you would find it an enjoyable read. Such a silly person, that stunted.

damn. Wish he would've linked to where he destroyed me so I could re-read that too.

From the Politics thread, for those who are wondering.

I was in deep meditation, and this thread popped into my head, as well as the toxicity of arguing politics over the internet and following news in general. Always thought to leave, but was hard with so much winning. There was so much trolling to look forward to as well - having momentum, only part 1/5 of email hacks, debates, potential Trump win. But it's time. I'll always remember the time I completely destroyed Kat Kid when he tried to get all smarty pants. My last word will be Clitler.

Poor little alpha male took his 64-bit chess board and stomped home.

With the supreme seats at stake this election will determine Americas future success or failure, really scary time to be under 40, lotsa luck punks

What consequences do you see us facing for having a liberal supreme court?

538 had an article a little bit back about how the next (4 years) president isn't actually likely to reshape the court much. if 'pubs aren't Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) and go ahead an confirm garland before it's too late, they calculated that there was only like a 15% chance or something like that of another vacancy coming up in four years, and if one did open up, it would mostly likely be to replace one of the already liblib judges.

True, but I think that in most people's eyes, regardless of which party they're a member of, replacing the opposing party's outgoing justice with anything other than a justice from your own party is seen generally as a loss (even though it's technically not a net loss at all). Everyone allows themselves to play the 'what if' game in their minds.

@Charles_Lipson

The election in a nutshell:
If it's about Hillary, Trump wins
If it's about Trump, Hillary wins
& both candidates want it to be about Trump

I don't know if there is a more fitting screen name than stunted.

Hilary will easily kill all the conservative justices with her elite death squad.

Worth mentioning the article is based on Justice death, not counting potential retirement, as well as not including the Scalia seat. Assuming the 'Pubs don't push Garland through like they should, the next President has a 40% chance of naming two.
