A savvy choice to push for Trump given his youth. A 49 year old SC Justice--that could be a 30+ year tenure. His appointment might be one of the longest lasting impacts Trump makes. He'd be the youngest nominee in 25 years.Originally posted by cardboardbox View PostComment

that reminds me of this I saw on twitter: "Gorsuch is as smart as he is conservative, and he writes elegantly. Hardiman is a friend of Trump's sister. Whom do YOU think T will name?"Originally posted by Redbirds Fan View Post

Yes...Harley Davidson tells Trump not to come to Milwaukee on Thursday because they don't want their brand associated with the protests that would ensue. My hometown and my favorite brand making me proud, says a 2003 100th Anniversary DynaWide Glide Owner and HOG Life Member.I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

Another good thing is that they knew that their Document was infallible, and so made it so that it could never be amended...oh wait.Originally posted by senorsheep View PostStupid rural yokel founders... it's as if they did it on purpose. They should have balanced that by creating another branch of Congress where representation is based on population.

While campaigning, Trump said we needed to kill the families of terrorists. It looks like he is following through on that suggestion. In the first military raid of his administration, several noncombatants were killed in Yemen, many of them women and children, including an 8 year old girl, the daughter of an Al Qaeda leader who was killed 5 years ago. The girl's grandfather, Yemen's former agricultural minister, gave this account:
"My granddaughter was staying for a while with her mother, so when the attack came, they were sitting in the house, and a bullet struck her in her neck at 2:30 past midnight. Other children in the same house were killed," al-Awlaki said. He said the girl died two hours after being shot.
"They [the SEALs] entered another house and killed everybody in it, including all the women. They burned the house. There is an assumption there was a woman [in the house] from Saudi Arabia who was with al Qaeda. All we know is that she was a children's teacher."
If you want to be skeptical of that account, fine, but by the Pentagons own admission, many civilians were killed in the raid, including this little girl.
I realize Trump isn't the one on the ground executing this, and it seems like it went wrong from the start, but it is also hard to ignore that this is the first strike that he ordered/approved--it was not a hold over mission from the Obama administration. Maybe Trump pushed it to get something for the newspapers asap. Whatever the case, we just created more terrorist sentiment against us, and justifiably so in this case--every time we kill innocents in the name of a greater good, we are wrong to do so. And I realize this didn't start with Trump. We have done it before, and Obama was rightly vilified for sanctioning drone strikes that killed innocent people. I always feel disgusted when this happens, and this comes off as even more horrible and malicious given Trump's previous proclamation that we should kill the families of terrorists.
"Karen Greenberg, director of Fordham University's Center on National Security, said the girl's death will be a boon to al Qaeda propagandists.
"The perception will be that it's not enough to kill al-Awlaki — that the U.S. had to kill the entire family," she said."

Lets also note that a Navy Seal was killed in the action, and that Trump knew about it while busily tweeting this:
A soldier dies in the service of his country, women and children are killed in a botched raid. But our CIC is more concerned about playground taunting the opposition.Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 15h15 hours ago
Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer held a rally at the steps of The Supreme Court and mic did not work (a mess)-just like Dem party!

It's an embarrassment to our nation that we have such a childish narcissist as our leader. At least pretend that the weight of the decisions to send young men to their death, and in the process killing innocent little girls weighs heavily enough on your conscience to forgo such childishness for awhile.Originally posted by Hornsby View PostComment
