Never mind.

I guess one more thing to do in the never again phase of the crisis.  Make it so that if the Senate does not confirm or act within a reasonable amount of time, the nomination automatically succeeds?

If you could go back and slap the Obama Administration and Harry Reid upside the head and instill the  value of respect/ teach respect the old fashioned way like it was probably taught to you by you're old man if you were lucky enough to have an old man who wasn't afraid to man handle and  scare the shit (pampered arrogance) out of you like mine.

So you were bullied by your father?  Is that the source of your cowardice and obsession with violence?

Not at all clear we are parting ways.  If anything, the country is drifting a little more blue, and the Republican Party has discredited itself.  They have depended on the unraveling racist and sexist center of the country, and it is not clear they still have it.  They seem to have a choice between becoming a noisy remnant loyal to Trump or a coalition around the true conservative thought.  Either faction will not have the numbers anymore.  They will have a rough time for several decades at least.  

The cycles suggest that eventually the unravelling will come around agian, that America's greatness will again flounder for a time, but history suggests we will flounder at a higher level, without kings, without slaves, without dictators, regulating the economy, acknowledging realty and science.

The Democratic Party would like to see the good jobs and power distributed in a way similar to the general population instead of reserved to white male protestants.  Putting more people into the pool doesn’t weaken it.  It makes it stronger.  Being racist and sexist doesn’t strengthen it.  Some are far more concerned with personal power than a functional democracy, and events have made that all too clear.

The side that values Life?  The side that generated the COVID response, valuing Wall Street over Life?  The side that values Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness by separating parents from chidden and locking everyone in cages?  You care about yourselves. Poor poor red people.  Forced to wear masks, socially distance, and otherwise save the lives of members of their community.  Poor poor red people.

I am content being a descendent of the roundhead faction.

Nope. I wasn't bullied by my father. My father was a good man. Were you? I get the sense, the Liberal parents aren't like our (me, my friends, siblings and most people our age)) parents because our parents would have disowned us and set us astray for doing the shit the Liberal kids are out there doing these days. You know we are seeing and learning about all kinds of stuff about the so called peaceful protestors that the Liberals are so fond of these days. Aren't you supposed to be opposed to giving privileged whites a pass and opposed to them receiving preferential treatment. I suppose in order to be fair and come across as non biased or racist, the Liberal's have to extend preferential treatment to every Liberal oriented piece of crap who is still out there doing it these days. I didn't realize that were so many Liberal neo Nazis left for Liberals to convert to Liberal neo Bolshevik's/these days.

I get the impression that you didn't understand or believe that a lot people were going to die or understand that Trump shutting down a growing economy and halting foreign trade and restricting travel was an sign of how serious COVID19 was to Trump at the time. You already lost that argument and all you're are doing is hurting yourself and Biden's chances of being elected at this point. Dude, if all I had to choose from was Biden (Heads) or Gumby (Tails), I'd flip a coin and record the result and leave the country which is what the Obama's and Clinton's and the Liberal elite plan to do afterwards
