Between this and the resolution to deny Pootie access to our assets you could knock me over with a feather.
SOOOOOOO happy this nomination was yanked.
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY
âThe two senators from Boundsâ home state, Democratic Sens. Jeff Merkley
and Ron Wyden, had objected to the nomination and protested his
confirmation in speeches on the Senate floor.â
But there were Republican votes lostâŚ
Yanked or to be voted on again next week when the heat has died down?
Found out he diddled kiddies?
Tim Scott is the real reason. This candidate was a real piece of work.
Nope. He accidentally left a paper trail lamenting that the USA canât just be an all-white, Christian ethno-state (basically). He shouldâve hidden it better and heâd have sailed through.
Is it just me or do these guys just look like theyâre all out of central casting for the part of conservative christo-fascist monster? Itâs like thereâs a Build-A-Nazi workshop somewhere secretly competing with Build-A-BearâŚand boy do the GOP children in Congress love it. I mean reallyâŚcan you honestly tell me with a straight face that you could see this guy on the street and not think to yourself âwell there goes a fine specimen of white Christian nationalist douchebaggeryâ?
Heâll be back. Itâs Trump after all.
The White House has withdrawn the nominee.
From the WaPo article:
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told reporters Thursday that the decision was made with the White House, following concerns Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) raised about the nomination.
âSenator Scott raised some concerns yesterday about the nomination and I think it became apparent the nominee was not going to prevail,â Cornyn told reporters after Boundsâ vote was withdrawn. âThe White House decided under the circumstances to withdraw the nomination and so thatâs where we are.â
A spokesman for Scott confirmed that Scott had concerns about some of Boundsâs writings, while another Republican aide concurred that Scott had expressed problems with Boundsâs nomination.
Well that is news⌠Tim Scott growing a pair⌠I guess he is not for reelection this fall.
Oh I really needed this news. Thank god.
Hereâs Daily Beast.
GOP Sen. Tim Scott Sinks Trump Nominee Over Past Racist Writings
Thanks for trying, Sen. Cornyn, Iâm sure the Trumpsters appreciate you trying to give them cover. But we all know the only reason âthe White House has withdrawnâ this guyâs nomination is to avoid embarrassment because he was publicly exposed as a nasty, racist piece of work and one or two of your fellow Republicans decided they could not get away with voting to confirm him.
If you havenât watched The Good FightâŚthe follow up to The Good WifeâŚyou should, if only for the way it portrays a Federal Judge who was appointed by trump, as a total doofus. Itâs appropriate and accurate
Thanks for sharing.
Oh NOES he was all packed and everything.
Is this some sort of vestigial spine?!? Iâm so confused right now. I assume thereâs something I donât know. Because it couldnât be.
âBounds apologized for those articles, which he called âoverheated, over-broad and too often not as respectful as it should have been of opposing viewpointsââŚâ
Or, as the GOP likes to call it, âNot torching the evidence soon enoughâ.
Christ he must be an ax murderer.
Overheated, overbroad and disrespectful of opposing viewpoints? Donât apologize for that, Ryan! Thatâs why they nominated you in the first place!
