      Hur is a Republican. Garland picked him to pacify the Republicans. His opinion of Biden doesn’t mean anything to me.

        On a scale of 1-10 how pacified would you say Republicans are right now?

            This whole thing is McGovern 2.0. Biden is self-destructing his own candidacy in spectacular fashion. It’s going to be a disaster in November if Democrats don’t do something drastic to turn things around.

      I don’t get what you’re trying to say here. Being appointed by Merrick Garland doesn’t make him not a Republican or definitely not a ideologue. Centrist Democrats love picking conservatives for positions because it will demonstrate how enlightened they are and definitely (100%, for sure) defuse any criticism that an acquittal was political.

        So the Biden administration is appointing fascist sympathizers to highly sensitive positions?

        If there’s a fascist at the table…
