I, too, wonder about potential nominations for replacement in the face of the resignation news.

Though how a Black, female, liberal will get through is a question - as is potential performance.

Can he get the votes he needs?

I think Manchin is the only real possible issue and I doubt he would put up much of a fuss.

The serious contenders have bench experience aplenty.  Brown for example clerked for Breyer, has sat on high profile litigation in USCoA, Harvard alum, strong choice.

yeah bol

Concise, deeply responsive, and laden with insight, sir.  I always value your nuanced thoughts in all their oracular splendor. 

A lesser being might have replied, "yeah, Bart, I concede that my comment about Biden's top choices having zero bench experience could have been somewhat deceptive, given that one is an appellate judge and another a California SCt judge, etc." But you are a being of light!

I was referring only to VP Harris when commenting on experience as a judge -bringing in the lib guest's opinion that Judge Coney Barrett was lacking at three years.  All the names I have seen look solid - though Ifill in my opinion doesnt belong in the group. 

I gave you my three top contenders.  Who are yours?  (See?  Back  and forth need not be contentious)

And "yeah bol" means I agreed with you.

"Bol" was a new word or acronym, for me.  Thanks for clarifying. It's short for best of luck?   Anyway, Jackson (who I accid called Brown yesterday), Kruger, or Childs all seem solid.  But I don't know enough about the others yet, so will table this for now.

Sorry

I spelt it rawng

Something kept bothering me all night and then it hit me.

My old bud, Cliff Baxter, died twenty years ago today.

He was a really good guy!

Do "good guys" abandon their families and kill themselves so they don't have to answer questions before Congress as to why they sold their $30 million dollars of Enron stock just before the company went belly up?

I think you missed a tongue firmly planted in a cheek, Ham.

Nah, we were buds.

The guy I knew was a prince..

And there you go.

Stick your smugness up your ass.

Get some humility instead of trying to make it seem like you've had a Gump-like existence with anyone who's ever been in the news, you lying shut-in.

What can I say?

My life has been waaaaay more interesting than yours.

No brags, just facts.

You don't know anything about me, so you can't make that judgement. But go ahead and think what you think. Your bitterness keeps you alive, it seems.

Keep telling yourself that, pal.

Whatever gets you through the night.

Doubling down on your own idiocy doesn't change reality.

Ask your "friends" to explain that to you. Those who haven't offed themselves, yet.

Now, run along and take your meds.

You have to imagine my life sucks so you will feel better about your own shitty existence.

Your obsession is unhealthy.

Project, much?

Your life is an open book, and it's not a good read.

But you said it is all a lie.

Project, much?

No, I never said that. That would just be you lying.

It's one of your tells.

You may now GFY.

Conservatives are uniformly the most corrupt element in their societies the world over.

Rupert Murdoch is a KGB mole tasked with bringing down the west. It has been the ceaseless mission of his media empire since its inception.

Richard Branson

1 hour

For business leaders, this is the moment to come together and stand up for Ukraines sovereignty.

In 2022, what on earth is one country doing amassing tanks at another countrys borders?

---------

My response...

Now would be a good time to produce a concert for peace in Moscow, featuring Jon Bon Jovi, and other great musicians.

And the good people of Moscow need to get out and march for peace.

We need to take the high road, and we need to appeal to the best in humanity.

We also need to build up and strengthen the French Foreign Legion.

And as a side note, I hope that you will help to save the Joshua Trees in the Antelope Valley, and I hope that you will help to preserve the beauty in the desert.

Salute,

Tony V.
