Gotcha, just thought many states would pass on that more from avoiding- dealing with pharma manufacturing because of nasty pollution output.

There is one not far from where I grew up. They handle it just fine.

Complain all you want it’s part of the Constitutional duties of a sitting POTUS to nominate SC justices when there is an opening and Obama did his job and Trump did his job. The next step is confirmation (advice and consent) by the Senate and since the Republicans were and are the majority in the Senate they have the final say and McConnell did his job!

One, telling someone they’ve never been to a place when you don’t know that. Two, calling an entire territory of the US that is populated by millions if American citizens a ■■■■■■■■ island. I think you wanted to say something way worse.
And congress can determine the number of judges on the court.

Based on what she claimed about it.
I called it exactly what I wanted to.
I got nothing to do with what you think.
“Conservative” by it’s very definition means to keep the status quo.
Guess what - if those who call themselves “conservative” have changed, then they are no longer conservatives. They become progressives at that point - because they have progressed to a new agenda.

As you can see his statement is false.

Do a month to month comparison. And you can see trade imbalance with China dropped about 75 billion from year earlier.

We have kept the status quo of the goals… a strong America. But the methods needed to keep pace with the threats against America. Trump understood that. The old timey globalists didn’t. So such who called themselves conservatives and did not adapt to the new threats against our great nation are now indistinguishable from progs and libs.
But keep your definitions. I could not care less what you call me or Trump. Neither I nor Trump are wed to some artificial name of an ideology. Trump made it clear . Our ideology is really just being …American.
Libs on the other hand want to make us like ■■■■ hole countries and countries where rules for living are made by a few at the top. That is one reason they seek a strong and central government vs what our nation’s founding fathers envisioned.
Don’t you ever get tired of broad brushing. Why don’t you ask us Libs instead of making stupid statements of what we want? Methinks you listen to too much CEC radio and TV. But whatever. You seem to believe that spreading your lies about you opposition gets you points.
I don’t own a TV. When occasionally in my vehicle, SiriusXM is tuned as much to MSNBC as it is to any conservative channel. I listen to MSNBC to know what America’s enemies are saying…much like I listened in the 60s to the short wave radio I built to Radio Moscow, Radio Peking, and Radio Havana. I don’t listen to any other radio … RF or digital… at home except rare occasions like the debates when I listened to CSPAN radio streaming on my phone.
Methinks your post is ■■■■ of the bull that some lib made up years ago to broad brush and denigrate your enemies.
It’s 30 yrs of radio saying “Let me tell you what liberals REALLY think…”

The Constitution, as you correctly point out calls for the advise and consent of the Senate. It does not say the Senate Majority Leader gets to decide.
So, please point to the Senate vote where the Senate as a body did their Constitutional duty.
Thank you in advance.

And check out the summary below from the US Senate website-it states during the first 9 decades of the Twentieth Century there was only four years where the GOP and Senate control were not with the same political party. Yet in the short time of 48 months, five of the eight rejections occurred (namely nominee’s of the GOP did not ultimately go merely because there was also a divided party Senate at the same time).
Twentieth Century
The twentieth century brought a significant shift in the balance of power between Congress and the presidency. As the nation moved to world-power status, the chief executive assumed greater authority. This shift became apparent in the smaller number of appointments contested in the Senate, particularly when its majorities were of the same party as the president. From 1897 to 1955, the presidency and the Senate were in the hands of the same party for all but four years (1919-1921 and 1947-1949). During the century’s first nine decades, the Senate would reject only three cabinet nominees and five Supreme Court justices. Of these eight rejections, five occurred during periods of divided party control.
