It has united 98% of all the spectrums of the right and people are furious I've wonder a lot lately who or what will come to unify the right. Never genuinely dawned on me it would be the left. Plus there is the added benefit of the right flushing out fake conservatives. When this is done, I suspect we'll wake up in a few months to find out about a new MSNBC podcast called "Conservative Voices, With Jennifer Rubin and Bill Kristol."

I haven't been this pissed in a very long time...Not since maybe I knew Trump was going to win the Republican Primary But seriously, I spoke about it with my parents and they are furious as well. I see it with my right leaning friends, which aren't many but they are very upset as well. And you can see the anger is palpable amongst the Republican politicians and pundits. The Democrats were already fired up before this and the R's were asleep. THat's changed, now you have a fired up R base and I think you'll see the R's expand their senate lead. 2

Feinstein and Schumer’s statement on FBI investigation into Kavanaugh DUMBER than we thought possible We figured Senators Feinstein and Schumer would say the FBI investigation was unsatisfactory, but truth be told, we couldn’t have foreseen them blaming the White House for the limited investigation they themselves asked for … they all but accused Trump of tying the FBI’s hands. Even though we know the president put zero limitations on who they could interview. Suppose they’ll say anything at this point to save face. We're not the investigators. The FBI are the investigators. "Let them do their job." 1
Deranged Rhino Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 This is hilarious... from the official account. 1 minute ago, Buddy Hix said: I think more victims of sexual assault will be silent. I think that's a really poor argument and even worse analysis. The accusation alone, without corroboration, got Dr. Ford a seat at the Senate hearing and a platform to air her story. Millions and millions of people watched and sympathized with her. She brought forth a story without any evidence to support it (not even a year that it happened) and was taken seriously by the government, the press, and the public. She also taught future victims valuable lessons about telling people what happened to them when it happened. The climate in this country today is one where women WILL be believed - even without evidence. Who was shameful in this was the minority in the committee who threw her to the wolves, without a thought about protecting her or future sexual assault victims in order to score what they KNEW would be a minor delay at best and a minor political victory for their 2020 aspirations. That's shameful. That did more damage to future victims than anything Trump said or did. To not recognize that fact says you might be too wrapped up in your own biases to see the situation clearly. 1

The left often gets those confused, so don't take it personally. Let me known when you've listened to statements from Karen Monahan or Jaunita Brodderick and said "They sound credible. I believe them."
B-Man Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Quote Leader McConnellVerified account @senatemajldr Oct 3 Does anyone really think that the same people who called Judge Kavanaugh “evil” long before they heard one word of testimony will be satisfied? It’s time to put this embarrassing spectacle behind us, and vote on this impressive, stunningly qualified Supreme Court nominee. . 1

It's the only way to counter the actions of a complicit media complex who have been on the attack (as you would say, viciously) since the day he got elected. If you think more people are turned off by it than are awoken to the titled playing field created by the establishment media, you are already forgetting the lessons of 2016. I hope the Ds lose seats. then maybe they'll have the sense to figure out that this whole all racism, all sexism, all xenophobia, all anti-semetism, all the time is a loser. It lost them 2016 and they didn't figure it out. Hopefully this time they would. And I am no Republican fan either. There are a lot of non minority people that think all this stuff is bad but are tired of being accused of it because of their race and gender I know I am. 2

I don't think Trump's base will shrink, they elected a man who lies, cheats and admits to sexually assaulting women. This is America now. Maybe they’ll go to the local authorities in a timely manner instead. You know...like Dr Ford could have (and still can but isn’t for very obvious reasons). This has been a sham from the beginning and is the perfect example why government should be small enough to be drowned in a bathtub. 4
Magox Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Look!! This has even woken up Alaska Darin! He's not your typical right leaning dude but this is about as active as I've seen him since maybe one of the gun debates some 6-7 years ago. 2
TakeYouToTasker Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 27 minutes ago, Buddy Hix said: I think the President can discuss the concerns you have expressed without acting in the way he did, but he doesn't have the emotional intelligence to do so. I am not as dialed into the situation as most on this forum, but as I said, I suspect that is the norm. What a lot of people see is both sides pointing out the lies of the other side, and maybe not being sure who to believe. For the President to go on the attack in the manner he did was disgusting, but he is a disgusting man, so it is not shocking. Absolutely not. The President absolutely should not, should never, allow for this sort of character assassination of a good man as a political hit job and act the gentleman while his political enemies attempt to burn the world down. The sort of politics has gotten us here, and is not a solution. The Democrats game is to act unconscionably, and then to blame others for the tone. That time is done. The Democrats have reaped the whirlwind, and now they will die in it, and deservedly so. Dr. Christine Ford is a liar, and she should be treated as a liar. She should be prosecuted for perjuring herself before the Senate, and thrown in jail, as should everyone else associated with this sham. 2

Azalin Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, ALF said: Ideally a Judge should be impartial and non partisan just interpret the law. What Brett and his family has been thru will leave him far from that ideal. Then again a swing vote is not the norm. You really have trouble grasping the whole partisan/non-partisan/bipartisan thing, don't you? Any judge, whether a simple county judge or a Justice of the Supreme Court has as much of a right as you or I to be a member of a political party. It's incumbent upon that individual to be impartial with regard to their personal politics when making a ruling. Your second sentence seems to be saying that since the democrats have done their utmost to slander him and destroy his credibility, that he can no longer be impartial. If that's the case, then we'll likely never get another justice on the court because all the opposition will need to do is throw the hammer down on them every time a nominee comes before them. I don't get the last sentence at all. A swing vote not the norm? A lot of cases come down to one justice ruling one way or the other to decide the SC's position, so swing votes are quite common. In fact, that's one of the things that has the dems throwing such a hissy fit because Kennedy was frequently a swing vote on the court. Edited October 4, 2018 by Azalin 1
