You do realize the FBI initially turned down looking into the allegation, right?  There wasn't enough proof to warrant an investigation.  

 

Do you have a source for this claim?

And the timing shows exactly what the Dems wanted.  Otherwise they would have brought it to the committee's attention back in July so this could have been investigated privately .  Instead, they waited til the 11th hour and leaked the story to the press, which caused the calls for a hearing, thus delaying the vote.  Fortunately, we're done with the delays. 

Ford was asking to be anonymous.  

This is better than it was for Clarence Thomas, who was accused after his hearing instead of before.

Voting is today,seems like it will be 51-49 if votes stay the same,

50-48, most likely.

Murkowski is voting present, so that her lack of vote cancels out Daines.

You do realize that the hearing with Ford was a completely different one, right? The accusation was thrown out at the last minute of his Senate hearing. So, no, it wasn't before his hearing. And it was much worse, because Thomas was not accused of gang raping.

You literally said you wanted to drag the process out for the purpose of a "mic drop" which as far as I can see is pure schadenfreude.  Even if, and be sure that I dispute your characterization, but even if your claims about the Democrats were true, they would still at least have some objective to what they are doing above pure "neener neener" knife-twisting.  Which is what you explicitly wished for.  So get the fuck off your high horse. 

Yea, you didn't really comprehend a single thing I wrote, or choose not to.  But, that's ok, cause I don't really care.  Though, I think someone else in this convo is on the high horse.

You have yet to explicity dispute my characterization of what you said, let alone give a detailed objection.  I'm pretty sure I understood what you said and that if you paid attention you could understand why I don't think what you said counters what I said, but I guess I can't know for sure if you don't even identify what I supposedly didn't understand.  Or maybe what I supposedly don't understand is that you're trolling, but I've already accounted for that. 

Between a bank robber who shoots three people to death and a guy who just decides it would be fun to walk out on the street and shoot three people in the face, I have to say I think the latter is worse.  Don't take that to mean I think there is nothing wrong with the former. 

And let's say there's a bank robber who shoots three people non-lethally, and a guy who just decides it would be fun to take a baseball bat and and smack three people until they hit the ground (their injuries being much less severe).  I would say that, as a society, the bank robber deserves to be punished more harshly, but the baseball guy's attitude is more pernicious.  Especially if he is likely to do it a lot more often than the bank robber is likely to try robbing banks.  And especially if there are a lot more of him. 

And let's be honest here.  You're badmouthing Democrats just as much as you say they are Kavanaugh, though the accusations are different.  The difference is that they have a national audience and you don't.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

The backlash on this confirmation is going to be massive.

Stay safe Americans



Kavanaugh is now a Supreme Court justice. Now, what will the Democrats do? Bitch and cry? Self-reflect?

Passion for the sham the rulers are imposing on the country.  If i'm wrong and the grip on power is solidified then i'll just have to go back to being the observer I have usually been and lament the decline of America that continues on.

How do the Democrats exactly... "passion" their way to victory? The rest of your response is nothing more than aggrandizement.
