You see sturg, when you have a social life, you often converse with people who don't share same beliefs as you. When you spend time going out to places and conversing with someone who isn't there with you, you sometimes find that people have **** beliefs. When you listen to what people say when you're walking down the streets, you hear ****ed up things.

It's the fault of the internet. The fact that r/conspiracy has 1.4M members, that /pol/ on 4chan is basically running the QAnon thang. People's ability to use their brains has gone down drastically and it's primarily the fault of social media. In an era where we have access to more information than ever before, people are impossibly poor at using said information. If you spend 5 minutes Googling something someone shares that sounds bogus, you'll typically find it being bogus by tracing it to it's source. The fact is that there's so much disinformation spreading that it's getting harder to find out the informaiton. But if you try you can find it.

I know 3. And I know more who think the numbers are inflated. Of course I tell them they're wrong and if they need countless sources of information I can share it with them. But usually they don't care. Because shocker, they read a ****ty book or something on the internet.
COnsider this, it's hardly impossible to believe that in Interstellar, that future people believe that the US didn't land on the Moon. That's the power of the disinformation age we live in. People believe things they read on the internet over other clear facts.
Keep in mind popular conspiracy theories that exist.

I could go on and on and on about bad conspiracy theories that sound believable to those who don't do the minimal amount of research.

feels like Grassley is trying to tell us something
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I mean, McConnell set the precedent.
Scalia passed away in February, Garland was nominated shortly thereafter. Never even made it to the debate floor or hearing stage.
We're less than a month and a half before the election, not 9 months. I'm not sure how any reasonable American can look at this and say the Republicans and McConnell aren't doing the politics as usual.
McConnell said back then the people should decide in an election year, now he says they already decided when the Senate had a majority in 2018 and it's closer to the election by far than when Garland was nominated in a lame duck year.

So his "opposing" political party reasoning is more the reason that it's doing what's best for the country and not politics as usual... right?
Anyone with any sort of brain knew when he blocked Garland it was politics. Garland was considered by many to be a centrist not a leftist. He was the most "electable" judge. Just like when McConnell told Trump, that Kavanaugh, before he was even nominated, would be the one to be the most difficult to get passed in the Senate.
It's amazing how a little word play somehow is justification for McConnell playing by his own set of rules yet again.

Yes...its a perfect justification because it display split amongst the nation.
Democrats are whiny babies that will cut their mothers throats to get what they want. The shenanigans they've pulled since the election have proven this.
There is no reason to hold back this nomination
