The Professional Paid Progressive Protest Performers (P5s) were on the streets within minutes of President Trump’s announcement that the eminently qualified Neil Gorsuch was his selection for the Supreme Court vacancy. Some of them with professionally pre-printed signs; a fill-in-the-blank protest from professional agitators, prepared to perform for the camera in response to anything Trump says or does.
Anyway, Gorsuch seems like a solid pick. Confirmed unanimously by the senate, praised even by Obama appointees, and a guaranteed minimum 60 IQ points higher than Sonia Sotomayor. There is no sane reason not to confirm him. Key word being “sane.”
At least, this time, no one got their head bashed in at the protest.
Trump hit a home run with this. NO ONE knew who he was going to pick until he announced it (How did he manage that??) and yet within minutes (literally!), Democrats, the MSM and protesters were already trashing him, showing clearly that their opposition is against Trump. Did not matter who he nominated, they were going to demonize him or her. And Trump played them like a maestro.
Then he picks someone whom the Senate confirmed by acclamation ten years ago. How can the Democrats that joined in the vote oppose him now?
Third, he picks someone who is dedicated to interpreting the Constitution as written, not what you wish it would say.
Trump wins.
Former Sen. Santorum should get a new one ripped by the WH staff. He was a “guest” on CNN Fake News just before the President spoke, and the CNN host got Santorum to out Judge Gorsuch as the President’s choice 15-mins before the big reveal. Santorum then blithely went on to comment specifically on the choice before CNN cut-away to the East Room ceremony.
How this FOOL thinks he’s Presidential timber is beyond my comprehension.
The “generic” protest sign with space to fill in the name is a classic.
But, not surprisingly, there were plenty of printed signs opposing Gorsuch on hand as well. They likely had Hardiman signs printed up as well.
Whoever Trump picked would be on the wrong side of the national divide which the DemonizingRats are so very loudly trying to close. (In the same way ISIS is trying to get along and coexist.)
Wow, there’s practically a cottage industry of Trump protest signs. Somebody somewhere is making a killing.
At least, this time, no one got their head bashed in at the protest.
Give it time.
