Charlie Schumker is barking like a mad cow. Hilldawg and kamaltoed pigeon foot are outraged.
Happy birthday demon swine. ?
Oh and thx Harry ???
Harry Reid made it happen.
Who would’ve thought 4 years ago that
we would be here?!
It’s been a great day!!!
And now we get the fifth conservative on the bench.
Back-stabber Roberts can go straight to hell.
Roberts doesn’t make any difference anymore.
He must be relieved that the blackmail can end.
That pic of her ‘notepad’ will be a classic!
“The BEST IS YET TO COME” PDJT
I’m 66, and I never thought I would live to see this!
MAGA!
Congratulations Justice Barrett!
God Bless you and your family.
Thank you for your service to our country.
Wonderful day!
I have been waiting for this day for 47 years. Thank you President Donald J Trump.
I was in high school in 1972. I, regretfully, was not waiting. I was a Democrat. But luckily about 13 years ago, I realized the Democrat party had left me. I wish I were you knowing that truth long ago. However I thank God that today that I am part of this CTH family where everyone is accepted and even if it is corny to say…loved!
And we are glad you are here with us too.
I am glad you are with us and it was not corny it was sincerity. My grandparents were democrat but would never be if they were alive today. The Democrat party left a lot of people.
Just that everyone, most of all the dimms, have a little taste of history:
Nixon placed 4 justices on the court. Yes, FOUR. One of them, Harry Blackmun was the one that DRAFTED Roe vs. Wade. And TWO other Nixon appointees, voted for the law.
Most people don’t know history.
Nevertheless, Barrett is Trump’s most outstanding choice of his tenure. An incredible appointment!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Sorry! I counted wrong, It was just three appointments and two votes! Sorry! No more wine for me tonight!

You have the alternative of no more posting. Choose wisely.
Any other Republican POTUS would have folded like a cheap suit and agreed not to nominate anyone prior to the election.
Any other ‘Republican POTUS’ would be a politician…this president isn’t.
Justice Barrett is so lovely and poised.
A most excellent scripted speech by President Trump. His most eloquent in my opinion.
Amy’s up. She is a measured and highly intelligent person. Articulate to boot!
Trump is triumphant, and so he should be. What a way to finish his first term! In the face of massive opposition, he appoints his third Justice to SCOYUS. That alone should get him re-elected! The most advantageously consequential President in out lifetime!
Oops, SCOTUS oi vey!
President Trump, by protocol, could fave left the balcony first.
He ferried to everyone with him and went last.
That’s our Gentleman President.
That is one thing I constantly emphasize to people who criticize President Trump. He truly is a gentleman and a man of his word. If he says he’s going to do something, he does it. I also make it a point to remind them that he does not start fights with people. However, I know one of his personal mottoes is ‘nemo me impune lacessit.” Start one with him and you’ll soon find he makes a fearsome enemy. That said, if you treat him with respect and courtesy, he will undoubtedly reciprocate.
This is one brilliant, and very good, man who has given up a wonderful life to try to sort out our national problems. Not only did he not have to do this, it is costing him personally a great deal of money to be doing it. I am in awe at the sacrifices he has made to be our President, and can conclude only that he has done them out of sheer love of country.
We have been blessed far beyond what we deserve as a nation to have him as our President.
They say the true measure of a good man is how he treats those he has power over. I have only seen PDJT abuse those who first attacked him. I have heard numerous stories of unsolicited kindness from this man and still those evil forces in this world attempt to paint him as hateful and mean.
I can say without fear of contradiction that President Trump is far more sinned against than sinning..
Darkness doesn’t like the light.
I wouldn’t say he “abuses” those who try to bring him down. He just strikes them down like an archangel.
So Very True!
From your lips to His ears,forgive us our sons and thanks for this creation. It is a hoot! Amen.
It’s what a true gentleman does, no matter his station in life! If you’ve been following our President, you have doubtless seen this before. He is a kind and caring man, but doe not suffer fools. It’s why he ran when he saw our country circling the drain on so many levels.
His job now, is to see that those against our precious country and our Constitution have the tables turned on them. Last night was a YUGE step in that direction. It will keep the leftists on their heels for a while. Hirono and her ilk are detestable human beings. That vote should have been more like 96-4, if the left had any scruples. Now they proved they don’t.

Here is an interesting graph depicting one possible direction shift in the Supreme Court. The article is clearly biased but one thing that comes across clearly is that Roberts is a snake in the hole.
“”In this scenario, Justice Brett Kavanaugh would replace Roberts as the court’s new median justice, which could lead to a significant rightward turn on the court, as Roberts is often the lone conservative justice to side with the liberals. He has cast several recent pivotal votes with the liberals, too, including a dispute in which the justices deadlocked 4-4 on whether to halt a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision that allowed state officials to count ballots that arrive up to three days late. With Barrett on the court, though, Roberts would lose that “swing justice” role.””

Conservative??? OMG!
We would do well to remember that Gorsuch found a previously undiscovered right of transexusls to be a class of people defined by immutable characteristics (not mental health). I recall Kavenaugh made an oddball call on something major, as well. There will be rulings we don’t like or agree with from our new court.
Cryin’ Chuckie. Love it!
Hope Chuckie is miserable tonight, and even more miserable next week.
Sweet
Democrats haven’t been this angry since the Republicans freed their slaves.
🙂
Comment of the day!!!!!! Nicely done!
We certainly have had a blessed day, the Lord rewards faith, so I say have faith the hand of the Lord is strong.
Thank you Sundance for bringing to my attention the raw power of our movement.
Our President had three good rallies today three decisive wins in my book. And now we have a pro-life judge on the highest court in the land,
I conclude my day, “In all things give thanks”, Amen.
Happy birthday Hillary Clinton.
Bet she is drunk as usual.

Keep praying soldiers. We are not done yet.
All you need to know about the evil emanating from the democrat party is that each and everyone of its representatives wants to exclude a woman like this from the public square. Please God help us give this President 4 more years to save this Republic from extinction at the hands of the power hungry democrat party and its operatives in the CCP-allied media, big tech, academia, and big business.
As each senator took their turn solemnly voting “Yea” or “Nay” one of them decided to highlight herself so she screamed out “Hell no!” Guess who that was?
(Crazy Mazie Hirono of Hawaii)And then all of them went over to the dais and evoked a ‘thumbs down’ sign.
Children.
God bless The Republic, POTUS & ACB… wings up and go vote Treepers!
My wish?
That after our VSG wins on Nov 3 and all his previous and future accomplishments come into play, Sundance changes the name of this forum to “A Refuge”, instead of “The Last Refuge”..
This should neutralize Roberts (hopefully)
Pres Trump should ask Schum(ck)er if he should grant him his wish of ‘court packing’ ?
Liberals own the executive agencies and bureaucracy, they own many of the lower courts, they own the House of Representatives, own our cities, own our colleges, universities and institutions, own the media, own the internet technology companies and social media, own many corporations and multinationals. and own the sports and entertainment industries.
But, they do not own the Senate and now they don’t own the Supreme Court.
This makes me the happiest I’ve been in awhile.
I know exactly what you mean. I almost cracked a smile myself today. GO PDJT!!
The ones we own matter the most.
Mitch McConnell delivered when the chips where down. It would have been so easy to let the vote slip through his fingers as we have too many weak kneed R.Rats ready to back stab America.
In fact, every time we were at a cross road, McConnell delivered the vote. Let that sink in for those that point to the times that he did not deliver what was thought to be important, such as not facilitating Executive branch appointments.
John Roberts is still Chief Justice which is a critical position. He is a snake in the grass, compromised…….Spit.
Correction: the vote was 52-47 and one “Hell no” from Crazy Mazie, always breaking into new frontiers.
We’re there more….maybe.
What a dipsh*t she is.
Can I get an AMEN on ACB being sworn in to SCOTUS!!! I think she will be fabulous and loyal to the constitution.
One mother replacing another mother on the Supreme Court. Fair trade, no?
Idk what we trade for Sotomoyer or Kagan, but the sooner the better.
I was in the same graduating class as her father in high school in New Orleans back in 1963. My name will give you a clue to the school.
