Kavanaugh

I'd agree. I don't think it really matters anymore if the allegation is true, false, or anything in between. He should issue a statement that, while he still categorically denies the charge, he's stepping aside for the good of the process.

I actually think that is what will happen.
 
I doubt Kavanaugh will withdraw himself. He's ambitious and wants that seat. He lied to become a federal judge, that's how he runs. Using his friend's wording from that excellent article, Kavanaugh's only concern is "winning."

So how did he lie to become a Federal judge?

But he can't win. The argument, for right or wrong, has shifted from the truth of the specific accusation to a litmus test on our response to sexual assault. A couple of Republican votes is all it takes, and I'd have to think they'll get those. No one want to be on the wrong side of history.

Now, if Dr. Ford refuses to testify then that provides enough cover. But if she sits there and tells her story,game over.
 
Obama took the high road. Last super-majority we've seen in Congress, if I"m not mistaken. Got us Obamacare. That's a counter-example. Obama had vast crowds chanting, "Yes we can!!!" Trump had them chanting, "Lock her up!!!" See the difference?

Then again, I'm not even talking about what has worked in the past. You're talking about what worked pre-Trump, pre-#MeToo, and pre-Kavanaugh. I'm talking about a civilized future.

I get it, I suppose, Goat, You're trying to paint my optimism for humanity as unrealistic (in addition to trying to de-humanize me by jumping on the stollcpa and mjvcaj handle-bandwagon). Fine, but so far your refutations have missed the mark because you don't really understand fully my position. My impression is, you're not interested in understanding such a position. You're interested in target practice. I'll help you out.

Before you refill your cartridge, Goat, let me remind you: I'm not your enemy. Yes, you might want to repeat that with each of your shots: He's not my enemy. Each time as you pull your trigger. He's not my enemy...
I don't think you're my enemy. I do think you're an arrogant prick who imagines he's the smartest person on this forum.

What's the handle history that everyone keeps talking about?
I've already explained this a number of times. I've had many handles over the years, starting with Fritz, way back when. My first post as Fritz, on the bball forum, was warmly welcomed by -- you'd never guess -- DougS, who sent me a friendly pm. But I didn't hang around long and forgot the password. Came back later and the next handle I used iirc was jowaldner, after Jan-Ove Waldner, the great Swedish table tennis player. Then during the Obama-McCain election, I was so offended by McCain's pick of Sarah Palin that I co-opted her favorite phrase, Joe Six-Pack. That's when CoH (who never insults anyone) started using his ad hominem of Coors Light on me. I posted something that got under Sope's skin and he banned me. I thought to myself futueteipsum (not in Latin) and left. Later I came back and the handle was still banned so I adopted bannedbanter. DougS asked me if I wanted him to unban JSP but I said don't bother. Then I believe I left again, this time changing mmy pswd to gobbledygook so I couldn't come back. Later came back as bannedbanter1, iirc. (Kinda liked that handle.) Later left again with another garbled pswd. (Notice the trend here?) After lurking for quite a while and enjoying that much more than posting, I came back as iuwclurker (CoH: clurker lol), determined to only post on rare occasions. Got sucked in.

Then Goat became a blue shield. He and I had a lot of run-ins, mostly when he was presumably drunk. I wasn't going to take any shit from someone who posts like an asshole one post, then rides a monitor's high horse the next, and he gradually started banning me for various and sundry thin-skinned reasons. When I challenged him on it once later, he didn't even remember the situation. Not surprising, that's alcohol at its finest. Finally, I came back, again not remembering the pswd for that handle and looked up the latin for Go F Yourself, a message for one and only one person, Goat's truly. A propos, imho. But then Goat stopped being a monitor, (supposedly, he still has the blue shield), so I don't really need that anymore, but the reason I had to switch it is that Cajun pmed me that I couldn't have it. I contacted Jordan Wells on how to switch it and he said I could only make a new. Here I am.

It's fascinating how much a certain few people react to all that, despite having heard my explanation. They try to de-humanize me for changing my monitor. You tell me why.

That's the first I've heard it.

Lol. What are you so butthurt about, Goat? (You don't need to answer that...)

I'll admit that my posting style can be emphatic, so I'll give you a quick and incomplete list of those who I'm as certain as I can be are smarter and/or more literate than I am.

Rockfish1
Att
Thyrsis
Marvin
hoot
CoH

I'm sure there are more who aren't coming to mind. The rest I doubt are any less smart than I am.

I'll tell you one thing's that dumb about you, Goat. You somehow conclude that because I have a strong opinion about something that I think I'm smarter than someone else. I'm smart enough to know that's just plain dumb. Maybe it's the alcohol.
 
It’s one of yours, because you imagine you are much, much smarter than you are.
Well, at least I wasn't dumb enough to lose a bet to you obligating me to kiss Trump's ass (or kiss Hillary, as the case may be).

Btw, how exactly have you managed to assess my smarts? What is my IQ? I'm curious. Never taken a test...

When Sen McConnell says stuff like this (at a "Values" voter summit), who can blame people for being angry at the process?


don't disagree, but what do you expect when appointing semi dictators who have more power than any elected official, have it for life, and are answerable to no one.

everyone, and i mean everyone, totally ignores the much bigger picture issue in all this.
 
Even less intelligent people don't post music.



The question is, can anyone do a worthy guitar tribute to Prince?
Well, I'll be damned. I never heard Prince play an A+++ like that before. He gets accused of stealing spotlight, showboating etc. (and he certainly did so on that video), but that was an excellent solo.

Your extreme partisan bullshit on this topic is getting very tired.

When even left leaning Vox calls your claim false, you should drop it.

He lied but not willfully enough to be indicted for perjury. I guess your okay with that. Cool. I'm not.

What's partisan about wanting a Supreme Court justice to be honest and not be a sex offender?

That, and you saying igw is always negative is cute, considering how you dump on him and me non-stop, but this is for me:



and this is for you:

Someone's concerned as hell if they're trying to leak this to Drudge (with GOP spin) before the story gets published.
 
But...can she pick him out of a lineup?

Kavanaugh is finished. Withdraw now and get on with the process of another nomination. It’s pointless to proceed with this one.
 
Yeah I don’t see how he makes it to Thursday. My guess is he will withdraw tomorrow.
