Yes, it was--and when I reposted news stories about it on Facebook, I always said, "Read the story for the details--details matter."
The fact remains: If Obama (whom I also didn't vote for) had done exactly the same thing, in exactly the same context, the GOPers would have been fucking outraged.
But now, with Trump? Not a peep.

I am giving you the "I am chosen one" trump mistreatment but we have to be real here. If obama did 1/100th of the stuff Trump has done the Republican leadership would not be the quiet sheep they are now. They would have already had Obama impeached and they would be screaming bloody murder.
No one has been more guilty of hypocrisy than the Republican leadership. No one. I have never seen it to this degree in the past. It truly is shameful.

Preach, brother. I've never pulled the Democratic lever for any office, in any election--but I cannot and will not vote GOP until its current incarnation (which started well before DJTrump ran for president) is gone.

Rooting for her ill health?
She's been down this road before. Her health and workout regime is the reason these various ailments haven't caused her demise. She will continue on through Nov 3, 2020.

I just looked it up. The one-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is 20%. The five-year rate is 7%.
If they replace her before the next election then you can count on Democrats packing the court as soon as they get control of the presidency and the senate.

Dems Senators can apply the McCONnell SCOTUS appointment rule (aka nuclear option), and the Dem President can with an Executive Order adding 6 (8 would be better) SCOTUS lifetime justices.

^This. But, not all cancer care is created equal. She’s been consistently treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering for her multiple cancers. That’s a top notch place where all the different specialties involved in treating cancers work together for patient benefit.

Things conservatives no longer care about, the deficit. Another broken promise by Trump.
"Reagan has proved deficits don't matter." --- Dick Cheney. Conservatives stopped caring about deficit in 1980s. They pretended to care about it while Obama was the President because it was "a good talking point" according to one Freedom Caucus member.

Nov 3, 2020?
She needs to make it to Jan 20, 2021.
Her replacement would be appointed and McConnell senate confirmed if she passes on Trump’s last full day in office.

Moscow Mitch: When the country is "the middle of choosing who the next president is going to be," the next president "ought to have this appointment."
Most of us know Donald Trump is a narcissist who has a history of acting in the present to serve his interests and leaving others basically $crewed. That has been his MO since bankrupting companies and not paying his workers or other bills owed, selling students enrollment to Trump University only to have them $crewed in the end. Taking away environmental protection knowing future generations would be $crewed and pay the price. Make no mistake, Trump is a gifted fast talking conman. He knows how to sell to people's dreams and their fears. He's good.
Now his tax break, which has put the economy on a short term sugar high and has done very well for the top percent is more of the same. Someone will get $crewed in the end. The tax cuts are not paying for themselves, that's a Trump con.
The Trump price tag will add trillion of dollars to the deficit now and in the future. The ratio of national debt to our GNP hasn't been this bad since right after WW II. Its the kind of debt that is unheard of particularly when there is no war or recession to spend out of. Much of it is owed to foreign counties.
This level of debt is unsustainable and puts future services (like your SSI payments) and economic stability at risk. The future will be $crewed just like Trump has done so many times in the past. We will pay for Trump's irresponsibility and our politicians refusal to limit Trump.
The jig is up and we will pay for the Trump show.

If anything democrats hopefully are learning to be as conniving, dishonest and ruthless as the Rs.
