the video IS an act of stupidity. Violent stupidity unable to differentiate between common stupidity and political humor.

What the hell are you talking about? Are you saying it's bad to show the extreme views of your opponents to a wider audience?

Perhaps I misunderstood jstex56's meaning. I don't know if "hardball like this" refers to making more videos illustrating stupidity or to performing acts similar to those demonstrated in the video.

I agree. This is something that's great for showing how nutty they are. They could have included more in my opinion.

The other side does it, only they'll snag clips that show snapshots out of context...like children in cages, or a few clowns with tiki torches...or just straight up falsehoods. The left eats that shit up even if they know it's fake...Facts be damned.

let me rephrase: the video shows acts of stupidity both political and under the mantra of humor and 'freedom of expression'.

About damn time stupid acts of violence are used to illustrate expression of political differences. IMHO.

The Hollywood Casting couch has been replaced by a Fausting couch.

Faust, an entertainer, sold his soul in exchange for success.

Now, the industry big wigs force others to kiss their leftist ring – not an improvement to what others had to kiss before.

A zombie-like illness is causing the left to attack those not of their derangement.

I know there is already a list of potential replacements - I hope one is nominated very soon and it gets through the system before November

Actually, having a replacement ready and waiting for a hearing on July 31 would be awesome

I don't believe Kennedy would have retired willingly if we had a president Clinton.

GOP compromise immigration bill defeated on House floor

A sprawling, compromise GOP immigration bill that would have provided a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants while directing $25 billion for the construction of President Trump’s border wall failed in the House on Wednesday, despite encouragement from the president for Republicans to support it.

The bill was overwhelmingly rejected 301-121, in part because some Republicans are reluctant to vote for any bill they worry could be portrayed as “amnesty.”

More than 100 Republicans voted against the legislation.

Earlier Wednesday, the president called for Republicans to pass the “strong but fair immigration bill,” saying that “passage will show that we want strong borders & security while the Dems want open borders.”

After months of trying to bridge the chasm between moderates and conservatives and two postponed votes, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., labeled the legislation "a great consensus bill" and tried putting the best face on the likely outcome.

"What we have here is the seeds of consensus that will be gotten to, hopefully now but if not, later," he told reporters Tuesday.

But on Friday, Trump initially suggested he was giving up trying to get a bill approved before the election, saying a "red wave" is needed to pass an immigration bill in Congress.

“Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November,” Trump tweeted. “Dems are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solves this decades old problem. We can pass great legislation after the Red Wave!”

Wednesday's vote caps months of futile GOP efforts to pass wide-ranging legislation on an issue that could color scores of congressional races in this fall's contest for House and perhaps Senate control. The Senate rejected three proposals in February, including one reflecting Trump's hardline policies and two bipartisan plans.

The Republican compromise voted on Wednesday would have provided a shot at citizenship for hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children. It would provide $25 billion for Trump to build his coveted wall with Mexico, restrict family-based immigration and bar the Homeland Security Department from taking migrant children from parents seized crossing into the country without authorization.

Leaders had been adding eleventh-hour provisions aimed at winning votes. One would make it easier for migrant farmworkers to stay longer in the country, the other would gradually require companies to use an electronic database to verify their employees' U.S. citizenship.

But those amendments didn't remove the key stumbling block -- the reluctance by conservatives to back legislation helping people who arrived illegally become citizens. Many Republicans deride that plan as amnesty for lawbreakers, a potential attack line their next primary challenger could wield against them.

How much longer can RBG hang on?

RBG was born March, 1933, so only 85 years old. OTOH, she’s been reported to nod off on the bench.

I could’ve added that my next-door neighbor is 101, and walks more than a mile most days to shop for groceries. Occasionally his young 80-something wife goes instead. He looks to be in better shape than RBG though.

Not so sure. I read on another thread that she said she wouldn't retire while Obama was in office just to insure a liberal replacement.

Does Gorsuch have a twin brother?
