    It's ON. :D LINK

    Trump names Amy Coney Barrett as his 3rd Supreme Court pick.

    “Today it is my honor to nominate one of our nation’s most brilliant and gifted legal minds to the Supreme Court,” Trump said. “She is a woman of unparalleled achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials and unyielding loyalty to the Constitution, Judge Amy Coney Barrett.”

    Trump described the nomination as one of his “highest and most important duties” and a “very proud moment indeed.” He also praised Ginsburg as a “legal giant” and a “pioneer for women.” The president was accompanied to the podium by his wife, Melania. Barrett was joined by her husband and their seven children. As they walked onto the stage, the crowd of assembled VIPs that included Attorney General William Barr cheered.

    That's for the peons. The ruling class and the elite are exempt from their silly viruses and edicts.

    I posted pics of our governor taking maskless selfies with the peons. He said he'll "have to do better."

    "Doing better" is not the point. Taking such a laissez-faire attitude towards his own safety while claiming the risk to be so great as to justify a government edict is worse than disingenuous...it uncovers the lie.

    It shows that they know it's a lie. No, I'm not saying the virus is a lie. There is a virus, but there have always been viruses and this one isn't significantly different than all the other viruses that we don't close our economy down for.

    It's a component of:
    -Forced compliance
    -Shutting down religion
    -Destroying our history
    -Destroying cities and businesses
    -Demonizing the successful
    -Promoting BLM and ANTIFA

    Hitler did this when--overnight--he destroyed the Weimar Republic and instituted a dictatorship.
    Mao instituted communism by destroying history and temples.

    I was a victim of the virus, COVID-19. What an unhappy camper I was while I was sick. It was nothing like the flu or any other illness I ever encountered. But, I did survive and am grateful. Some people will never get it like anything else I guess. Others won't be as ill as I and many others were, but it is with us now forever. Vaccination when available will be the answer, not masks. If you get close enough to some one who breathes in your face, that's you fault. Masks carry other pathogens that we breathe in and could make us sick as well. Try to fight city hall on these issues and it is like butting your head against a brick wall.

    To kinda bring it back on topic...

    The head of Virginia's Health Department said he has the authority under current law to make a COVID vaccination mandatory, and he will do it as soon as a vaccine is available.

    I wonder if Mandatory Vaccination would be the first "gotta hear it now" case to hit SCOTUS for the new justice's first event.

    The reports that are coming out in the news about the confirmation hearings seem to be ridiculous. Even though Ms. Barrett has adopted two children from Haiti, Cory Booker asker her if she did or did not support white supremacy . To me , even more bizarre was the female senator from Hawaii, Marie Hirono, who asked her if she had ever been charged with sexual assault on someone.
    You can see the totally unbelieving and shocked look on her face when she is asked this question, and I imagine that this was probably NOT what she was expecting to be asked in a hearing to determine her qualifications as a Supreme Court Justice.

    Both Hrono and Spartacus Booker are, as per usual making complete a$$es of themselves with such idiotic questions. The Dems are all flapping that this is nothing more than a puppet show, etc., but I notice they keep showing up.

    The answer she is not at liberty to say is "Ma'am, I am neither a Kennedy nor a Clinton."

    The hypocrisy is beyond infuriating.
