So, who will President Sanders pick for the Supreme Court?

I do think that this thread makes a point. The left is looking for a celebrity to be nominated (someone we all know and detest) but the right is looking for a constitutionalist who is teaching or working on a court somewhere. Not a celebrity.

Did someone pee in your oatmeal?

Starting at the end; I have never been anti-Catholic and was not old enough to vote for any Kennedy on the national stage. So fuck you and you owe me an apology. I am not anti-Mormon. I supported Mia Love in Utah with money and voted for Romney. Once again, you get another fuck you and you owe me a second apology.

Anti-semitism? Redneck? I am neither. I am not ignorant and proud of it and if I were to practice a religion...my first choice would be Judism.
One more fuck you (that's three so far) and another apology.

Sarah Palin got Joni Ernst elected in Iowa or did you forget that? As for Trump, a first time political candidate beats people like Santorum and Huckabee who LIVED in the state for the last year. That should say something to anyone who has the wisdom to see.

I expect some democrats will stay home like Senator Joe Manchin who is too conservative (not saying that he is but he is not that liberal) to vote for Bernie. He'll stay home or vote for the Republican. Remember the two black women, former Obama supporters, who are posting videos supporting Trump. Is that three? Sounds like it.

I could name a few college students who are in with Hillary big time for the very reasons I cited but you probably don't know them. That is many more than one.

Like I already wrote, the GOP is riled up this time to make sure that Hillary is not the president. Even the moderates will vote for Trump (who is also a moderate if you look at all of his positions).

So you get some fuck yous and I won't be holding my breath for the apologies but just know that you owe them. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

No, please DO hold your breath while you wait for my apologies.

Which are not owed in any event. You've tipped your bigoted hand too often in the past to play cute now. Especially on matters of race.

And Palin never got any one elected. Any one she ever endorsed was going to win anyway.

I thought I was on your "Ignore" list. Seems like you are the ONLY person around who thinks Nau's is NOT in Clarksville.

Ignorant redneck hillbilly hypocrite.

Why can't you accept the official map of the City of Austin, TX.?

Typical RWWIPE babble from the Idiot rabble.

And WTF is "Judism," JDrunk, you race baiting shitheel?

A year into your ban, and you haven't missed a day reminding us what a lying welshing piece of shit you are Uncle Han!

who says Sanders gets the call? Obama has the pick, he doesn't have to wait for any reason. He'll make the nomination, it's his right. as a strategy, it would be interesting if he held back his selection till after the election on the gambit the Dems win and include the President elect in on the process. interesting and intriguing to do in a major election cycle but he won't wait that long. mainly because he should make a nomination once he's got a moderate liberal ideally real trial experience and of any background in the constitution is a plus.

let's get Twilight Zone nightmare for the Repubs, .. Obama does wait till after the election and whomever Dem wins, he's cut a deal to get nominated to the Court. ARGHH!!!!

intriguing but risky too.

Nope - It's Obama's call and he should pick a legit nominee and fairly soon. get the right person but for once he needs to be decisive and pick a moderate liberal and get the process going.

If he makes a good balanced modern lib pick, the Repubs are gonna be hard pressed to try to kill it. And Obama knows this will tie up election talk to the Repubs especially talking heads like Cruz who unwisely is already running his yap about trying to stall the nomination until after the election. Stupid. and it looks bad too lol.

Obama should make a serious selection and take his opportunity to nominate to the Court. even for Presidents, there's only two ways that happens, a judge dies or steps down.

Remember the Dems will get a lot of their cycle time chewed up on what Obama will do/who will he nominate also so they need to at the least not make Obama or themselves look bad in any way.

certainly a new dynamic to the election cycle. any of the usual suspects they know who they are lol that are dancing a jig that the man has died are sick puppies and you've been told. AHAHA.

bottom line - Obama's got the call. if he's smart he'll take it and select a moderate liberal from the judicial ranks for the Court.

The gist of the matter is that the City of Austin has posted an official map on their website with the actual boundaries of Clarksville, and Nau's isn't in it.

First, you would NEVER go away. You would just change your name.

And exactly why would I go away if Trump won? What's the connection, mope? If I said you should quit if it rains next Tuesday afternoon, would you accept that?

And why didn't you make this wager before Trump had a lead? Too chicken back then?

If Trump wins, I will be on here EVERY day as the disaster unfolds reminding you every step of the way that it is YOUR fault that Trump destroyed the country or got Bernie elected, or both.

No sane person be it a GOP or Dem would vote for Bernie either..

How diabolical!

It's almost as distasteful as Democrats voting for dead people in South Texas!

Almost!

And The Media Didn’t Write About It…


Posted on February 16, 2016 by sundance


In 2012 when Trayvon Martin was killed in self defense by George Zimmerman the media didn’t write about the troubled history of a 17-year-old who was kicked out of a Miami Dade high school for anti-social behavior.

Nor did they write about a burglary, or Trayvon being found with the stolen merchandise from the burglary, or the Miami-Dade school district decision to hide the evidence of the criminal conduct.

The media didn’t write about the School Resource Officer who was given instructions not to arrest young black males, and how the Miami-Dade School Police were pressured to lie on official police reports and keep the public in the dark on what was actually going on. They certainly didn’t tell the story of how Miami-Dade schools were forcing school administrators to use school discipline as an alternative for criminal prosecution.

Nor did the media write about the stolen merchandise which was mislabeled as “found property” and hidden on a back-room shelf in the evidence room. They never wrote about the detective who was told where the stolen property was located, who it belonged to, and how it got there. The media skipped the story of how the stolen jewelry was reunited with the victim.

The media had to remain willfully blind because they sold a different narrative for almost two years. They had no way to do an about face and still retain credibility – it would be too uncomfortable, too politically incorrect to correct the record.

But that doesn’t mean the truth of those facts, the truth of that story, did not take place. We know, because we exposed it all.



In 2014 the media needed to skip the story of how Mike Brown’s shooting meme “hands up don’t shoot” was a complete fabrication, created out of thin-air in the moments shortly after the shooting in Ferguson Missouri.

The same media didn’t want to recognize how a bullet hole under an apartment window exactly matched the story of the shot fired by officer Darren Wilson from inside his SUV as Mike Brown attacked then struggled for the weapon.



https://theconservativetreehouse.fil...ng?w=513&h=234

Nor did the media want to look at their own pictures of the gold bracelet on the ground next to Wilson’s SUV and notice it exactly matched the bracelet worn by Dorian Johnson, Brown’s cohort, as witnessed in the CCTV video at the Ferguson Liquor Mart moments earlier.

Acceptance of that simple truth would have destroyed the story being told by Dorian Johnson, and the ‘hands-up’ meme was dependent on Johnson. The media had to remain willfully blind because they sold a different narrative. They had no way to allow such an admission and still retain credibility – it would be too uncomfortable, too politically incorrect to discuss.

But that doesn’t mean the truth of those facts, the truth of that story, did not take place. We know because we exposed it all.

In 2015 the media needed to skip the story of how the McKinney Pool Party fiasco actually originated. The media never reported on how 20-year-old Tatiana Rhodes and her mom Lashana Burkes were using the Craig Ranch sub-division to promote a party under the name Dime Piece Cookout.

Nor did the media ever look into how Tatiana and Lashana lost control of a crowd who showed up for their event, and how they promoted the party as a pool party but the residents of the entire community had no idea – until hundreds of out of control teen descended on the community.

A responding police officer lost his job trying to control a mob scene, that part interested the media. But the two women who created the entire fiasco and their behavior to create such chaos, as well as their recruiting of teenage girls to be sexually exploited and serve as bait for young men in the community, well, not-so-much.

The media had to remain willfully blind because they sold a different narrative. They had no way to allow such an admission and still retain credibility – it would be too uncomfortable, too politically incorrect to discuss.

But that doesn’t mean the truth of those facts, the truth of that story, did not take place. We know because we exposed it all.

– simultaneously to those stories being researched, exposed and shared with the CTH community, the same level of discernment, interest and research was also taking place amid the larger body of American Politics.

patriotFor many years we have noted and drawn attention to individual moments, insignificant moments at the time of display, that build upon each other to form a much larger and more significant impact.

Much like a gathering process where you are collecting individual pixels for a screen image, the first several hundred pixels collected don’t do much to clarify the image. It takes collecting thousand of pixels before the image being displayed begins to form. It takes many thousand more, before the clarity allows the observer to see what the image actually is.

It is a long, very long, and painstaking process. It takes discipline and resolve to scour hour after hour, day after day, obscure data and seemingly innocuous events. Week after week, month after month, and year after year, until you find enough data to explain what the image is creating afore you.

We hold no vested interest in the outcome of the image as presented. It simply is what it is. We neither benefit from, nor find aversion to, whatever is discovered. Whether we like the outcome or not is inconsequential to the existence of what is. Regardless of discomfort created by the assembled impression, the truth contained within the picture simply doesn’t care – nor do we.

There is no entity who can purchase the truth, any more than there is a capability of any entity to value the effort it takes to assemble the data. Similarly, we do not hold any proprietary interest in the finished product. Nor do we wish any credit or citation for the assembly.

The truth behind any and all events refutes ownership, and only affords discussion. We accept that. We embrace that very basic principle.

It is beyond ridiculous for any entity, professional or otherwise, to put forth a proposition that presidential candidate Donald J Trump has any influence on the political content of this website. As discussed we have tracked, traced, researched and assembled political data on these pages for more than half a decade.

We made clear in all statements, prior to June 2015, that the entire 2016 Presidential Race was a ridiculous ruse constructed in such a manner as to deliver the same outcome as the 2012 Presidential race.

The same 2012 script is played out in 2016, the only difference is the cast of predictable characters. Ted Cruz replaced Newt Gingrich; Ben Carson replaced Herman Cain; the singular large outcome remained the same Jeb Bush via Marco Rubio replaced Mitt Romney.

Transparently predictable results when you stand back and simply accept what is afore you. However, to really see the image we also need to admit our own co-dependent behavior is the canvas upon which the image is drawn.

We also made clear, in the ongoing discussion – as in all ongoing discussions, what empirical research, gathered during 2013, 2014 and 2015, lead us to this conclusion.

We then set about explaining each of the historic pixels as they were collected so anyone could research on their own. An assembly of political pixels that no-one finds of interest until suddenly the exact same picture we have assembled is broadcast on TV screens to a larger audience.

And we laugh.

So no, the answer to the over the top silly proclamation, recently presented to reconcile the accuracy of the predictable picture we have shared, that some political candidate is in contact with CTH is no.

Other than a severely freaked out national rep from the Ted Cruz campaign last year, we have never had any contact with any political party, entity, representative, campaign or any affiliate therein about the content of this website.

This place was called The Last Refuge in 2011, because it is, well, exactly that.
