So Obama couldn't name a Supreme Court pick during an election year but Trump can name one in the middle of the biggest presidential corruption scandal in US history?
If Obama couldn't name a Supreme Court pick during an election year then Trump can't name one in the middle of the largest presidential corruption scandal in US history.

NO.

The President's personal attorney - WHILE IN A COURTROOM UNDER OATH - testified that the President told him to commit a federal crime.

No this President does not get a Supreme Court pick in the middle of this criminal conspiracy.

#BlockBrett
Isn't it time we consider that if a candidate broke the law while running for the Presidency, his Presidency is illegitimate and thus he does not get a Supreme Court pick?

Adderall is an amphetamine which makes your pupils dilate. This is a person sitting in front of bright TV lights whose pupils should be contracted.

Side effects of Adderall addiction include aggression, memory loss, mania, impulsivity and disorientation.
Here's Noel Casler, a comedian and former crew member from the Celebrity Apprentice talking about Trump's habit of crushing Adderall and snorting it, which is a highly-abusive way to take the drug.
I would argue that it's very relevant (and quite disturbing) that the man who has the nuclear codes and thus the ability to destroy the entire planet may have a drug addiction which causes rage, mania and disorientation.

99.9% of Americans earn less than $10 million a year.

Taxing 0.1% of the population 70% on every dollar AFTER their first ten million would NOT harm the economy.

What other countries spend on health care & infrastructure, we spend on low taxes for the super wealthy.
This type of spending is GOOD for the economy since accumulated wealth doesn't circulate while the economic benefit of improved infrastructure, education and health care is MASSIVELY beneficial to productivity (not to mention quality of life for 320 million people).
I'm seeing this argument in conservative circles that taxing the rich is "unethical."

What utter horseshit.

What's unethical is letting people die in the street from inadequate health care just so some banker can afford a second yacht.

Right now in America people are donating money they don’t have to build a wall they don’t need to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
The GoFundMe for the Wall has raised about $3 million in 3 days.

At this rate, the Wall will be fully-funded by...2086.

Racists are bad at math.
My favorite part of all this,

Cost of border Wall:
$25,000,000,000.00

Cost of anti-border Wall device:
$15.97

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

#Trump And I have heard for many years -- what's the worst trade in the history of sports? Babe Ruth,19-year-old pitcher, for $100,000 and a 35-year-old third baseman

#Factcheck
He was 24 not 19
He cost $125,000
No 35 year old third baseman was included in the deal.

#TrumpLies
#Trump
Babe Ruth was "drafted" as a pitcher.

#FactCheck There was no draft in Ruth's era.
#Trump

Ruth hit his home runs in the "dead ball" era.

#FactCheck

The dead ball era famously ended with Ruth's emergence as a slugger.

McConnell claims that instance of an election-year SCOTUS appointment doesn't count because-- while a Democratic Congress *did* confirm the GOP nominee -- it was originally a recess appointment and the formal confirmation didn't happen until early 1957.
This has all been part of a series of steadily shifting goalposts.

The original claim was that there hadn't ever been an election-year confirmation of a Supreme Court nominee, which was just flatly untrue.
Then the claim that there hadn't been an election-year nominee confirmed *by an opposition party* which was, of course, refuted by William Brennan and Anthony Kennedy.

Brennan was waved away on the grounds above.

The @WeeklyStandard's Ties to Fusion GPS bit.ly/2L1rmRU
In his online appeal for money after being fired this week, disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok credited an unlikely source to vouch for his victim status: The Weekly Standard.
At one time a leading conservative magazine, the Standard declared last month that Strzok’s plight was merely an “overwrought tale of bias” and the case against him is “just sound and fury.”

BREAKING NBC News Special Report: US Supreme Court Justice Kennedy is retiring. nbcnews.to/2KeKUqn periscope.tv/w/1yNGaXzWpvbKj
The vacancy will allow President Trump to make the U.S. Supreme court a solidly conservative body for years, if not generations, to come — a towering legacy of his time in office. nbcnews.to/2KeKUqn
Kennedy's departure on July 31, which had been rumored for the last year, could also put in doubt the future of a nationwide right of access to abortion. nbcnews.to/2KeKUqn - @PeteWilliamsNBC
