1. Too stupid to breathe

Am so ashamed of what is happening in our country ... that anyone can continue to think this piece of flotsam should be leading us is disgraceful.

2. The world according to tRump

My brand of revisionist history is absolute truth and accuracy.... until I do or say something that contradicts what I said earlier, and then I alone have the right to alter those absolute truths to be brand new absolute truths.

Deplorables applaud wildly....

3. 5. The house, Senate and the presidency are not the three branches of government.

They are Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. No party "controls" the Judicial branch.

4. You are naive if you think the republicans don't control the judicial branch

Who is on the supreme court, Merrick Garland or neil gorsuch?

[Mr.Bill]

5. And whose place did he take?

The makeup of the Supreme Court is basically the same as it was when it approved Obamacare.

Secondly, the Supreme Court is not the entire Judicial Branch of the government. There are many other components of that branch. https://guides.library.pdx.edu/c.php?g=271192&p=1811654

They’ve been obstructing the nomination process for DECADES, whenever a dem is POTUS

Dems have done the same, but not on the systematic scale since 09

After Obama took office in 2009, the Republican Senate minority not only obstructed nominees they found ideologically extreme, but routinely delayed or blocked all votes.

7. And if you're wondering...............

why the Dems, with the "majorities" in House and Senate (2008 - 2010), failed to push a progressive program through, don't forget the "Blue Dog Democrats" - or, as some called them, "DINOs" (Democrats In Name Only). There were enough of them to withhold the ability to carry a majority vote without getting some sort of "return" for their votes - and what they usually wanted was something less "progressive" in keeping with their "conservative" ideology.

They were a significant roadblock that created havoc with every progressive bill.

To them I say, "Thanks, guys, look what you led us to!"
