1. and the loser will be

hauled away by the neck and executed outside the room.

[redwitch]

3. The loser will be the American people. nt

[2naSalit]

10. Indeed

[Afromania]

2. damn

That's some bullshit if I were either one of them I'd have given him a prompt fuck you. These men, conservative as they are, put in the work to be where they are. Both of them are probably better equipped to run the country. Trump has reduced them to fucking apprentice contestants.

[unblock]

4. why doesn't he also invite garland up there so he can toy with him and humiliate him as well?

i guess the runner-up must have offended little donnie's fee-fees, and he needs to get his revenge....

[anneboleyn]

5. Yes! I just posted about this! So ridiculous -- SO GROSS. Honestly it infuriates me how grossly

inappropriate this shit is -- Bannon and Trump clearly think the American people are TOTAL morons who will somehow see the SCOTUS nominees as beauty pageant contestants -- who will get the CROWN -- instead of nominees for the most powerful court in the land. Seriously, they are monsters.

And you can bet Trump will talk about his ratings. What an ass.

[Drahthaardogs]

6. LOL

Idiocracy. It's what plants CRAVE!

[KittyWampus]

7. It should NOT be covered live by any news organization. It's a disgrace.

[fleur-de-lisa]

25. I agree!

This is absurd!

[msanthrope]

8. Does the runner up get a bouquet??? nt

[pkdu]

9. Two of them...and only one of these..

Yet another crass spectacle .

[Glimmer of Hope]

11. I am so tempted to watch. Sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen.

[democratisphere]

12. Anybody else getting sick of this assinin drama queen and his horsesh't apprentice ways.

[herding cats]

13. Does the loser have to hug the winner after they're crowned?

This is an embarrassment to our nation.

[TeamPooka]

14. DO NOT WATCH and give Trump ratings. Get the news and clips later.Turnoff the TV

[struggle4progress]

15. "Who looks better in a swimsuit?"

[onecaliberal]

16. Really who is stupid enough to go along with this.

How completely pathetic

[nolabear]

17. No wonder Barnum and Bailey folded up.

[StarryNite]

19. Will there be elephants?

I'm sure Trump could get away with animal abuse since he gets away with abusing humans.

[LeftInTX]

18. This is a joke, right?

[phylny]

20. Just like Mitt Romney was a fool to submit himself to Trump,

so are these judges. I would refuse to be part of the spectacle. Groveling isn't my style.

[Buns_of_Fire]

21. I hope the First Runner-Up gets a nice consolation prize. nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. I'm afraid it just won't be the same without Bert Parks.

[Denzil_DC]

23. Maybe not ...

24. I realize that being appointed to the Supreme Court is the peak of a lawyer's career

and something only a very few have a chance at. But my God, what a humiliating way to get it - to be trotted out on national television with the only other candidate, and being either chosen, or not? Does the winner get a tiara and a bouquet while the loser stands in the background, smiling stiffly while a tear runs down his cheek? I have to wonder - how badly do you have to want it to go through an exhibition like that? Why wouldn't you just say, "I'd love the appointment but I'm not going to participate in a simulacrum of the Miss America pageant. If you think I'm the right person for the job, please say so now. Otherwise I'm not interested and you can appoint the other guy."

[Ilsa]

26. They can't announce it until after the swimsuit competition! NT

[underpants]

27. LOL

[C_U_L8R]

28. Why would anyone humiliate themself

just to sate Trump's vanity????
I thought judges had more honor and integrity than that.
Even the nutty right wing ones.

[underpants]

29. Is Steve Harvey announcing the winner?

[Turbineguy]

30. What about the bathing suit contest?

Do we get to see the nominees in bathing suits?
