One question about all the court stacking: was there an abnormally high amount of vacancies during this administration? Or would a Dem president effectively balance the courts back out?

Obama was a bit lackadaisical in filling court vacancies in the first six years of his presidency, and when Dems lost the Senate McConnell instructed his caucus to say no to more than just Merrick Garland in the judiciary. The GOP, who has historically cared about the courts more, has been more aggressive in getting them filled, and it helps them that the courts are one thing that Trump doesn't care much about and where he's willing to follow.

A future Dem president would likely realign the courts, but it might go at a slower pace even if the president's party is more motivated since the GOP appointees are likely to be younger.

Got it, thanks.

I honestly think Mitch McConnell will be written about by historians much more than any politician who wasn't president in this era.

I agree. Like him or hate him, he's been one of the most influential Senate Majority Leaders ever.

That Mitch McConnell is actually Scarface shit is by far the most blackpilled political discourse in America.

Oh, for all the turtle jokes he's been a ruthlessly effective leader for the conservative side and very cut throat behind the scenes.

So I google black pill and there's a wiki article:

Black pill (ideology), a fatalist set of beliefs

I click it and it takes me to

Incel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Black pill (ideology))

oy.

Incels are definitely black pilled.

At some point I expect Urban Dictionary to replace Wikipedia as the most accurate online resource.

Quote:
A catastrophic prophecy or spiritless prophesying for the future that is not necessarily grounded in reality. A red pill gone hopelessly bleak.
ex. John had swallowed too many red pills over the last few sleepless nights and tried to black pill me that the race war would be happening any day now.

ex. Because of a bad breakup, Steven black pilled himself into believing that all women would cheat on him no matter what. A month later, he unexpectedly swallowed a white pill when he came and his new girlfriend kept sucking, proving the existence of a divine spirit and a glorious future for mankind.

Quote:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign tweeted out a photo of satirical tombstones over the weekend, including one featuring an election opponent’s name, hours after the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, that claimed the lives of 22 people.

The tombstones named Amy McGrath, his main Democratic opponent in the 2020 Senate race for Kentucky, as well as Judge Merrick Garland, whose nomination to the Supreme Court he blocked during the last year of Barack Obama’s presidency
