SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

Lucky you. The conservatives in my family are full nutbar. The ones I run into in airports and hotel lounges will sometimes admit they don't like the Tweeting or his temperament, but they looooooooove the tax cuts and the judge picks, still hate Hillary, and the Dems really need to stop whining and cooperate.

No. I have to deal with the same jackazz policies you do. But simply declaring them all deplorables will get us nothing and possibly cost us some insight that might help us figure this insanity out.

There are. I know may of them.

Gay is OK as long as they stay in the closet, never marry, hate women, and aren't bonking teenagers. The latter is only allowed for straight white men.

I said preferably

Lyndsey, is that you?

Preferably gay-free

President Trump: "It's a very scary time for young men in America, when you can be guilty of something that you may not be guilty of."

Bro, this is basically Colin Kaepernick’s whole point.

What this tweet fails to realize is Trump is referring to white men.

They're the only ones that matter. Older and richer, the better.

All of you defending this make me ill.
I don't care what your reasoning is...you're all vile.

Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

No, there really aren't at this point. The election of Trump means there is no longer a sane moderate conservative in America.

There are. I know may of them. It may be that the world around us pressures us to be black or white--to take a simplistic view--but we musn't. And I will probably be as active in promoting the liberal cause this election cycle as anyone posting on this thread, so that is not just the view of someone who is willing to take in the arse and smile. burd doesn't do as much as he should, but it will help just a little in moving the needle.

Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

I strongly agree with this. It must have been harder back in the days before social media too.

The biggest problem I see is still that Ford couldn’t offer up more details as far as date or location.

Meaning what? You think she was lying that she was 100% sure K did it?

Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

What each did when allegation became substantiated is disqualifying.
And yes, Moore is about three orders of magnitude worse, but Franken's actions were disqualifying.

And you'll be wrong again when I don't vote for the R on the top line of this November's ballot. (I can't vote for Cramer; dude just makes me itch.)

For me, Moore was absolutely unacceptable for his work as a Justice, and the sex stuff was . . . just more. He had complete disregard for the law. That he should be permitted to represent people in making law was ludicrous. Not at all surprised trump liked him. Truly two of a kind. I know there are a lot of good republicans out there, but any of them who stand up for trump now have some serious cognitive deficits.

I’m thinking of the most pivotal moments of my life. I can’t tell you with precision where I was or when it was.

even something as recent as 9/11. I know what teacher was in charge of the class I was in, but I can’t remember what classroom or who was all in it. It was calc, but I’m not sure which calc.

I can’t remember where or when we put our dog down. But I can tell you a few scattered details.

I can’t even imagine what it’s like trying to recall things from 30 years ago. I’m only 33 and barely remember anything from 25 years ago. Not only that, but the complex psychological processes that go on to victims of trauma.

There are very, very few events in my life I can remember with broad accuracy.

Count my girlfriend and myself as two people who have voted R for 18 years who will no longer be doing so. Incredibly embarassed by this "investigation" and it's the final straw if he gets confirmed.
