Let's put it this way...
What if I came on here and said that I cheer when black criminals die. There would be an outrage and deservedly so. But if someone says that they cheer when old white people die, theres nothing. That's the kind of crap that pisses me off about people around here.

Well, there's a distinction here.

I don't wish death on Antonin Scalia. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

However, do I think his decisions are bad for people and bad for America? Do I think we would live in a better country were he off the court? If he died tomorrow of natural causes, would not a part of me be happy that a spot opened up on the court of another Obama appointee? Absolutely.

But he was put there fair and square. Elections have consequences. So it's fine.

Also, Ruth Bader Ginsberg is the greatest living octogenarian. I wish she were immortal.

Calm down, he only made the post 2 hrs ago, and only one other person has posted since then. No one's cheering him on. He's already been warned by a mod and the poster is known to troll. Overreact less and engage more and you'll be less pissed off in here.

I think it's ok when old white people die
old black people too. If you can make it to your 80s that's been a good ride

If Alito, Scalia got called home to the Jesus they claim they believe in it would not be a tragedy.
I hope that happens after Hillary is elected with a Democratic Senate.

Or Austin, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, or San Antonio... which happen to be in the state that he represents.

He's a GOP pawn. Those comments were made to impress Hispanic voters even if they insult everyone else. #conspiracy

Its official, Carly Fiorina is running for President!

Quote:

Carly Fiorina announces presidential bid


CNN)Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina announced her candidacy for president on Monday, becoming the first declared female candidate to seek the Republican Party's nomination.
"Yes, I am running," Fiorina said on ABC's "Good Morning America." "I think I'm the best person for the job because I understand how the economy actually works. I understand the world; who's in it."
The ex-Silicon Valley executive and long-shot White House contender has never held public office. In 2010, she unsuccessfully ran for Senate in California, losing to Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer.
She is now one of only a few women ever to seek the Republican Party's nomination for president -- among them, former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who was a candidate in 2012, and former North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole, who made a brief run in the 2000 cycle.
Fiorina has been laying the groundwork for a possible presidential campaign over the past few months, traveling to early states like Iowa and New Hampshire and meeting with activists and donors.
Casting herself as an outside-the-beltway candidate with years of private sector experience, she has been particularly critical of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her work in government.

It was 30,000 and it was her decisions that lead to the needing to layoff in order to survive. It's significant because she's running on her "knowledge of the economy" and her "business skills".

No, because there's actual compelling evidence against her.

No because there haven't been 7+ investigations even those conducted by her sworn enemies that have all shown her to be cleared of any negligence.

But hey nice try

Let's not forget that those layoffs were so she could outsource this jobs. And let's also not forget that she made her soon-to-be fired employees train the people who got their jobs.

I think this is just the latest thing she wants to fail at, after failing at HP and running for the Senate.
