Which other SCOTUS seats may come up near term where it matters? There is only 1 I can see if the old dear can't hang in there for 3 more years.
She's 82, Breyer is 78, Kennedy is 81.

I agree with one and think it may happen over time. Apparently Trump is pissed about the way the "Muslim Ban" was carried out by Bannon and Miller, whereas he seems pleased by how Priebus managed the SCOTUS presentation last night. Over time, I think he will see that he is getting more political props for what Priebus is doing and give him progressively more power.
2 and 3 are probably not realistic given who he has nominated for EPA and HHS.
I would love to eat his face while high on bath salts.
- Remove the arse hair from his head then resign
- Apologize then resign
- Admit he drinks Russian piss then resign
You're missing my point. You're saying the GOP aren't afraid of using the nuclear option against the filibuster, so why would the Dems be bothered about saving it anymore? Whether they use it now or use it at a later SCOTUS appointment makes zero difference.
yeah - that works for a while and you win elections...implement your agenda...but then, when these uneducated yokels start screaming....There's a concerted effort to de-fund public education. Why? Generally an undereducated population is easier to mislead, bully, etc... I cant see much improvement in the short term if I'm being honest. Trump has the balls to make that kind of play but he is definitely not entertaining it...
SAD!And it's a shame, in the absence of that we aren't really having our views challenged.... which is my preferred way of understanding and being sure of where I stand.
This will have to do until I find one... prob have to make one myself.

An interesting thought experiment: What are the three things Trump could realistically do to from a policy perspective to make you believe he may yet turn into decent President ?
Things you can't bring up : Release his taxes, divest from his business etc. We are talking just policy and personnel here.
SAD!
It's gonna be fantastic, you'll just love it.
It's going to be so great it's ridiculous.
I make the best deals.
I'm the best president.
Putin is my friend.
Putin thinks I'm the best president ever.
Grab them by the pussies.
Insult Merkel via twitter.
Insult the EU via twitter.

So many smilies
realistic
republicans will give up on abortion and gay rights - in fact, they'll do it with a smile. But, Gun control?So many smilies

What happened to the realism criteria?3. Take a tough stand on Putin.

But it's clearly going against (big) business interests, as they need a skilled workforce, so I'm not too sure about your reasoning here. Could also just be that they have identified education as another opportunity (cf. private prisons) to make profit.
You obviously missed the bolded bits.
Nope, I don't see any silver lining with this administration and if we continue in the same vain as the last ten days then that is the end of the USA as we know it.You obviously missed the bolded bits.
There's an article in the guardian that pretty much tries to lay the blame for the civilian causalities including a young girl during an exercise in Yemen on Trump. It even mentions Trumps campaign talk of murdering the families of terrorists as if to link the two.
Now I'm the first to have a go at the US military and its high civilian causality count but i find this linking which i can only take as click bait as really fecking distasteful. The most important element of the story should not be Donald Trump no matter how many clicks it might create.

Why do people still insist, especially you Raoul, that at some point he will change and do something good. You are fecking delusional bud, asking for three reasonable things he could do to be a decent president. His winning campaign of hate and divisiveness and the last two weeks already puts him at the top of the list of shitty presidents. It will get exponentially worse as the weeks go by.
Get real buddy ffs and get you're head in the game. I can't even have him on the tv anymore as he upsets my three year old and I don't feel like sitting her wondering what trump can do to make me lick his hole like the delusional feckers that voted for him who's silence has been deafening the last two weeks.
Sorry, I got carried away. I'll give it another try, it might trigger some ideas. Don't forget to post your final bullshit card here!
No things trump supporters say.... I only need a few more
wrong. They need cheap labour hand much more.
Its much easier and cheaper to bring the skilled workforce from abroad (Asians to do the numbers for example).
My pal George can explain it much better.
They are not held accountable for anything. It's times like this that we need a dirty cnut like Weiner Anthony in congress, someone to shout down some of the bullshit from both sides of the isle.This is exactly the sort of thoughts I constantly keep having when I see these absolute shithawks saying things like this time and time again.
You give me three. Babble? That's a bit rich coming from you.What is this babble ?
I asked for three realistic suggestions. Either provide them or don't participate.

The ones you provided aren't realistic, Raoul. It's more realistic he releases his taxes than him taking a tough stance on Putin or fires Bannon, Flynn etc.What is this babble ?

Unfortunately Americans will not pay the inevitable higher price for products made stateside. Does anyone have an idea of how much an iPad would cost if manufactured in the US.Not really. By that logic the US wouldn't have lost the jobs to China, they would have brought the Chinese in. Your pal George is contradicting himself there, saying how the only american thing now is "buying things", but then again goes on to conclude, that they want cheap labour, despite the facts, that low skilled workers are at all time highs in unemployment statistics. So who then is going to buy their products?

Well Raoul, you're third would be my first. The office has been tainted by the Russian relationship.I've already provided three as have others.
Trump wouldn't blink an eye if Putin invades the Baltic States, Poland, or more of Ukraine. And he's not gonna fire all the nutters he's surrounded himself with.Not at all. Taking a tough stand on Putin is entirely realistic if for instance Vlad were to invade the Baltics or attempt to take more land in Ukraine. He's obviously never going to release his taxes for obvious reasons.
