Shameless disingenuous statements from Lindsey Graham say everything that needs to be known about this. Graham presented himself as some champion of bi-partisanship because he "voted for every nominee". Completely disingenuous because they refused to even allow Merrick Garland a hearing. These people have absolutely no morals and need to be called out on it every time

Lindsey and Rand Paul in particular, have turned out to be complete charlatans.
 
She's just practicing her Dele Alli celebration. I still can't do it, she's better than me.
 
I will never know why a song and a flag are held in such high regard in America. it baffles me. As a brit, I can say our national anthem is shit, and nobody would care.

I get that they think its a symbol for America, but then they put the symbol in higher regard than America (i.e. the issues the American people face).

Tbf i think the brits is the weird one in this case. Most Asian country i know treat their flag and anthem with respect. Pulling what the nfl player pulled can get you one hell of a flack down here.

Try to not following the protocol in japan, Indonesia, china, singapore, etc you would probably ended up in jail. Especially in live tv. Well probably not jail, but you'll be in a lot of shit i guarantee you

The weird thing is them doing it before every domestic game. Is there another sport where national anthems are played before domestic games and not internationals?
 
or a NFR bull riding rodeo

truly a shit show that has to be seen to be believed.


I've been to Folsom rodeo. The women in the crowd were very hot, the show was crap. Yank sports seem to all be short attention span affairs. Drag racing is 2 seconds, bull riding 8 seconds, NASCAR is just round and round and round, NFL and baseball is a few seconds then a food break. It's no wonder they can't handle 90 minutes of footy.

Yeah, it's like an indoctrination.
 
Yes it was.

A good discussion here:



Start at around 10 mins in the video.
 
This stupid discussion about hand gestures is perfect for Kavanaugh, since it means gems like this get lost:

What are you saying berbatrick ? That the environment is more important than a Mexican-Jewish lady sitting behind Kavannagh moving her hand around ? :)

Unless she is literally a 4chan troll herself, it doesn't make sense - even if she was a white supremacist, what's the point of doing it like that?

The only way I can see it being true is if Miller text her a picture and told her to do it. Considering she works with him and he's almost certainly aware of this sort of trolling and symbolism, it's certainly not impossible although if true you would have to image she would have been fuming upon finding out.

To achieve exactly what they achieved with Melania wearing a cheap jacket. To get the twitter mobs and blogs talking about things other than what they should be talking about - like that long post from Senator Whitehouse.

The Republican Senators have been using this hearing more effectively than the Dems. Feinstein was cracking jokes with Kavanaugh ffs and being as useless as usual.

These hearings are just theatre anyway, they already have the votes locked in. The Democrats should he using this opportunity to pound the table about the Roberts Five but as usual the Dem leaders are living in a box.
 
I just want this to destroy him so badly, but Im not convinced. Just looking for confirmation I guess.

It's madness man. Normalisation has kicked in so hard, you've probably seen the Dutch news and talk shows barely mentioning Michael Cohen pleading guilty, this was two weeks ago. Fifteen years ago news like that probably would've made for two days non stop reporting. Same applies to Bob Woodward coming out with something like this, it's just another blip. Though to be fair this is also happening because information is easier to obtain and there have been previous report on these subjects, which killed the novelty factor.

Somehow I actually feel we're still getting there though, bit by bit. Tax returns, previous business dealings, there's just too much ammo.
 
ABC said:
Woodward writes that Trump "ordered printouts of his recent tweets that had received a high number of likes, 200,000 or more."
Jeez...
 
I'm on an anti-Democrat, leftist subreddit where it got a small skeptical thread, much less than here.
well it got a thread there it got a post or 2 here. Seems there were a few in here that thought it was something big and most of us have shut it down as a nothing burger.
 
This NYT thing is incredible.
Seems to run totally counter to the intentions of whoever wrote the article to have this made public, though. If the idea is to work behind Trump's back to restrain him then why would you want him to hear about it through the media?

Its been said enough times through reporters and there's also Woodward's book so its not like its a secret.
