So Trump's head was wanted on a platter. Kavanaugh's head was wanted on a platter. Can you explain to me why Biden's isn't?

Let's put all of their heads on a platter.

Kavanaugh's behavior during the hearing alone showed he lacked entirely the temperament needed to sit on the Supreme Court. Other than disregarding the evidence and voting to excuse Donald Trump from his crimes, the Mitch McConnell-led Senate's confirmation of Kavanaugh, after seeing exactly what he was, is their greatest shame.

Gee, that sure sounds like you.

Anyone else?

Well, you asked.

Too funny.

You get shredded. Rightly so. 33 minutes later, you make your next forum post in the CV thread, about another topic. Unrelated.

Instead, they condoned his wretched behavior and continue to. I didn't expect anyone who supports Trump despite having to twist themselves into pretzels on this issue to understand that.

Then you make this post. You claim that your post "referred to the multiple women totally ignored by Trump voters at the polling place". The post that you directly replied to, about the woman that made her accusation on April 3, 2019.. Tara Reade.

Woman, not women. Don't forget now.. grammar is something you do very well.

You then later go on to talk about Trump voters again (and their attempts at virtue signaling.. seriously.. this is not a joke), and how if Reade gets justice, it will be thanks to the Democrats.

They will again fall silent (or worse issue death threats to the accuser like some of them did in the case of Christine Blasey Ford) when accusations are made that don't benefit someone they support.
Do you doubt that?

This much hypocrisy could kill a man.

That's always been the point. Some fairness.

So it's not at all about a lack of evidence or corroborating witnesses. It's now.. "Kavanaugh is bad!". Well yeah, no sh*t. That's what it was always about. Not the actual truth.

So, to be clear.. Did you mean to type 'they're' instead of 'she's', and 'women' instead of 'woman' ?

You're hilarious. The best part is we all know you don't believe this nonsense you type.

[LoveRookies]

If the Dems were smart they would've focused on Kavanaugh being completely unqualified for the SCOTUS, not on Ford's allegations. The man has never tried a case (civil or criminal; first or second chair), has never taken a deposition, has never argued any substantive motion in State or Federal court (MSJ, MTS, MTD), yet he was somehow deemed qualified for the highest court in the land. There were plenty of Federalist Society members with an Ivy League education that were actually qualified.

Sorry to go off topic, end of rant.

I think similarly to the way the media handles Trump. He says enough dumb stuff to where they could literally just post some unedited clips with zero commentary whatsoever. But no. They then go hyperbolic, or act straight up deceitful, and have the public turn on them instead.

[TheFrenzy]

I'm starting to wonder what voter turnout will be. 538 has an earlier article on it.

My thinking at the moment is based on some recent conversations I've had. A few of my very politically-engaged pals are feeling some pretty heavy burnout.

What's the country going to look like in 6 months? There are just so many unknowns.

Suppose you were in the running for the highest court in the land. It would be the pinnacle of your career. An achievement that very precious few have experienced in American history. Yet instead of your accomplishment and your merit for the position you are hauled in front of Congress in a public execution of your character. A public character assassination with totally unfounded accusations and zero, precisely zero in fact, actual evidence of a crime. How would you react?

If anything is problematic from that exchange, it's NC's (apparently a grown man) juvenile use of "LOL" and "too funny" in his reply to my comment which is shown immediately below. You conveniently didn't include it and all should note the (newly) bolded is now coming true.

Reade should and will have her day.

That's nothing besides a deflection. The LOL was in response to.. guess what.. a deflection! About how the coronavirus has overtaken everything.

So again.. to be clear. When you meant 'she', did you mean to type 'them'? Again, don't forget the emphasis you put on your grammar.

You are telling me that you replied to a post talking about one specific person, with a specific date applying to that specific person.. and you misinterpreted that.. to talk about multiple people.. in regards to Trump. Is that what you are saying?

I provided the necessary context for all of it, and back away now from not a single thing I said.

I would react the way I do to all adversity which is not like a petulant, entitled child. I definitely wouldn't tell a slew of lies to save my bacon and bring my elderly father in so I could produce some magically exculpatory weird calendars I supposedly filled in with him.

[yanksfan1]

No one has any idea what is gonna happen in November and anyone that says they do is lying. We don't know how people will vote, what the status of COVID-19 will be, or hell, even if Biden will be the nominee. I wish I could take a time machine to November 4th because this election cycle is gonna be exhausting.

He was angry and rightfully so. I was angry as well. The entire charade was a weak obstructionist power play on the part of the Dems which failed miserably. Score one for the good guys this time.

[rman112]

You most definitely did not do that.

You have shown over .. and over .. and over .. and over .. and over, that the man you present yourself to be, does not match the man that you are. The other people are always the problem. You couldn't possibly be the problem, because the political affiliation and people you have chosen to align with, are, by nature, the just and righteous ones. So therefore, anything said and done is always just and righteous. Anything else is impossible. Even if it's phony. The ends always justify the means.

Along with the whole impeachment bs. Dems have made a mockery of government and people are tired of it. So tired it got someone like trump in. And he’s done a hell of a job in the face of adversity. Here’s to 4 more years!!!

Uh-uh, the same "good guys" led by Mitch McConnell who denied the actually qualified jurist Merrick Garland from even getting a vote for the stolen seat the man-child Kavanaugh now sits in?

Try again.
