CNN and M$NBC proclaiming this an historic momemt

[thegoose]

And a major victory for Turd. Please. This is a fucking dark day.

[dlk]

1. Historic, Yes. The Republicans Have Seated Two Sexual Predators on the Supreme Court

And the backlash against women intensifies.

[roamer65]

2. Historic alright. The end of the republic.

Illegitimate Supreme Court.

[FM123]

3. Yes, a very dark day.

I knew it was coming, but when Pence read the confirmation aloud it just made it real. I am in tears. Again.

[rzemanfl]

4. It is an historic moment, the beginning of the end, one way or another. n/t

[BigmanPigman]

5. Joy Reid is saying this is McConnell ruling the country like a 1950s dictator.

He is high on his power...this is scary! It is historic, historically scary as Hell. McConnell Halloween masks as the devil should be flying off the shelves this week. He isn't a little old lady witch, he is Satan 666

[lancelyons]

21. The GOP has muscled there way to the top.

They don't care if they did it right. No body can do anything about it. Strength wins.

[BigmanPigman]

23. Never underestimate the power, and anger,

of a woman or a minority scorned by injustice.

[meadowlark5]

6. I'm not watching any of this happy horseshit so why is this historic?

What about Kavanaugh is historic? That a sexual assaulter and probable rapist is confirmed to the high court? Because a perjurer has been confirmed to the Supreme Court?

Why is this historic? It's a confirmation of a judge.

[misanthrope]

9. In the same way Hitler's annexation of Czechoslovakia was historic

Something doesn't have to be positive to be historic.

[meadowlark5]

12. Is that the implication the talking heads are making?

We're watching college football instead.

[misanthrope]

15. I'm watching college football as well

The Red River Shootout was a humdinger! Watching LSU and the Gators now.

That said, use of the word "historic" is completely appropriate for numerous reasons.

[liberal N proud]

13. Same as 9/11

An attack on our democracy

[Different Drummer]

7. Well, historic in the sense that we might not ever have had...

an alcoholic sexual predator on the Court before.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. Photographers are going to have fun following him around the social

circuits to watch and see if he slips back into drinking.

[Baitball Blogger]

8. Just wait. It's a Pyrrhic Victory.

[AngryOldDem]

18. I certainly hope so. n/t

[liberal N proud]

11. As historic as 9/11

This attack was from within the government and is far more dangerous

[Thrill]

14. Smallest margin in a century?

A victory how?

[AngryOldDem]

16. I think it is.

This may be the tipping point.

People are tired of this, of being told that if you’re not a white, rich, old man your life is worth less than shit.

Today has to be this country’s nadir. We have to take it back. Christ knows we can’t sink much lower, although right now not a damn thing would surprise me.

Enough of this shit!

[brooklynite]

17. History is not always good news

[BlancheSplanchnik]

19. Is that how they're spinning it?

It’s a good thing I don’t watch tv...my head would explode if I saw them actually spouting such disingenuous euphemism.

[unblock]

20. Republican president nominates and republican senate confirms republican justice

Wow, what a shocker.

[Fullduplexxx]

22. It should be proclaiming it "a" histroic moment

[Bonhomme Richard]

24. It is...This is the day the Rubicon was crossed. n/t
