Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Senate Democrats are working to confirm up to 30 of President Biden’s federal judicial nominees before the new Republican-led Congress is seated on January 3.

With Biden’s 214 judicial appointments so far, he could surpass the number Trump achieved in his first term if pending nominees are confirmed.

This rush is driven by Democrats’ desire to solidify Biden’s legacy of liberal appointees, especially as Trump prepares to assume office with a Republican Senate. The tight schedule will depend on high Democratic attendance and the support of moderate Republicans.

Trump, meanwhile, has called for Democrats to halt approvals, sparking accusations of hypocrisy.

I'm going to say this as nice as I can. You're not only very wrong, but very ignorant. If you know how to read the comments I've said the country. If you weren't a complete moron you could look through my comment history to see I'm being honest, but then again.. you aren't the brightest.

Gotta love when users go to insulting intelligence and acting like them screaming their argument louder makes them more corrector.

You're lived experience is yours, it's not the lived experience of everyone. Not everyone has the means, money, ability, or desire to just sell everything they own and start over somewhere new, completely alone.

So, once again, not everyone can just drop everything, hop in a plane, and hope the new country takes them in with zero issue.

You're also a man, I assume, since you mentioned a deceased wife and then your children. And since you're German, odds are you're also white. So how easy is it for the Arab trans woman to just drop everything and be accepted in a completely new country with no rights as a non-citizen?

Oh wait, they're just being silly, they should just be a white man from a European country, and follow your exact life path because it's the only possible way, and any other way is lazy.

You're laughably out of touch, and since you've resorted to insults, I'm done with this conversation. I swear Lemmy is worse than Reddit, ffs.

Lol again, you're wrong and an idiot. Language has no color.

I have to resort to insults for stupid people that make dumb accusations about me. Please, quit being so dumb. It's hurting me and your family (no friends) and everyone that has to be around you.

Edit: "more correcter" says way more about you than you think.
