US Politics

I wouldn't rule out Kavanaugh getting 55+ votes. If Collins & Murkowski vote yes, then expect to see a handful of red-state Dems jump on board.
They are toast either way, Manchin is in a unique position due to WV being overwhelmingly GOP but for the likes of McCaskill for instance when margin is +9/10, losing the Dem base over this vote is harakiri regardless.

Everyone woman in that pic supports Kavanaugh though. Its his mom, wife, his staffers including troll Zina Bash and allies.
 
Would the bigger political win be if Kavanaugh is confirmed and then the allegations are proven definitively to be true?
Yes, I’m leaning that way as well.

Push comes to shove pack the court, drop all of the charades, or impeach him if the blue wave in 2020 is large enough to swing a supermajority.

I mean... that would be a stick you could beat the GOP with for decades. They fought to and successfully confirmed a rapist to be a SCOTUS Justice.

It wont happen. The Democrats are clueless. They will say that we need to look forward not backward and bridge the divide.

They fought to and successfully got a self-admitted molester and alleged rapist to the presidency.

The thing is, if they changed tack and confirm someone like Barrett or Thapar in the lame duck session, there’s no removing them.
 
Do you see their faces?

Yeah I think that pic has been taken out of context on twitter. I think its from when the Dem Senators were attacking him and his mom, wife and people like Bash are pissed at the Dems. I don't think his mom and wife actually believe Ford unfortunately.

1. Yes, but I’m thinking of how this can be used to sway future voters.

2. Exactly right. At least there’s a possibility of Kavanaugh being impeached.

That may be, but occasionally they do go for the jugular as Reid did when he went nuclear on judicial confirmation. At this point, not much else to do but hope some of them find their cojones.
 
Schlapp has a history of doing this kind of stuff. Just look at his whitesplaining condescension towards Michael Steele.
Wow I just went down the rabbit hole of his Twitter account. Boasting it's basically over for Dems when Kavanaugh is confirmed - also ended up seeing a re tweet from Eric Trump praising Lindsay Graham, etc. What a fecked up world.
 
Ok, so I saw it on r/drugs but someone thought they heard a reference to boofing in the yearbook discussion.

Everyone knows what that is right?

Yeah. 1:20. Dude straight up lied. Did drugs up his arse and straight up lied about it.

No idea what that is. Should we take it to the "Explain it like I'm 5"-thread? Or is that inappropriate? Probably is given the context.
