Ya, thanks for nothing Merrick. To use a colloquialism that an old friend of mine CentralMass Nov 7 #8

I think you will like Steve Bannon as an AG Beastly Boy Nov 7 #11

Maybe I'm just tired and not understanding your comment. markodochartaigh Nov 7 #22

Merrick Garland is going to go down in American history as a villain. Efilroft Sul Nov 7 #21

Grief induced nonsense- here's a reality check: Fiendish Thingy Nov 7 #23

How unsurprising that Garland's cheerleaders continue to shake their pom-poms Orrex Nov 7 #28

No cheerleading, just reality. Nt Fiendish Thingy Nov 7 #30

The reality is that cheerleaders never miss a chance to deride fellow DUers Orrex Nov 7 #32

It is possible to express rage, disappointment and frustration without scapegoating Fiendish Thingy Nov 7 #33
