US Politics

[Red Dreams]

I respect the Republicans about one thing.

They understand power.

The Dems need to focus and do whatever is needed to gain that power and be completely ruthless in exercising that power.

 

[Red Dreams]

Dumbarse has a new account?

 

[adexkola]

Heitkamp is a No.

Awaiting Manchin, Flake, Collins and Murkowski

 

[Red Dreams]

Heidtkamp voting No will bring her some votes and keep the ones she was going to get.

 

[Drifter]

Heitkamp as nothing to lose. She's a Republican posing as a Democrat.

 

[Raoul]

And you would be happy to ruin a mans life based on allegations?

That's something he should've considered before entering into the fray. He knew what he did many years ago.

 

[Red Dreams]

Heitkamp as nothing to lose. She's a Republican posing as a Democrat.

She has voted with the Dems on key issues and represents her states farm interests.

 

[Drifter]

Heitkamp's brother says don't believe the polls.

 

[Drifter]

Accept when she voted for Gorsuch

 

[ChaddyP]

Accept when she voted for Gorsuch

Can I ask what's the point of voting No of he was already going to be confirmed by all the republicans anyway.

That's true.But i have a feeling there still might be a twist.Maybe wishful thinking.

 

[FromTheBench]

Wonder how much will it cost manchin if he votes no.

 

[Red Dreams]

Accept when she voted for Gorsuch

He did not have any negative issues. And she voted with her conservative state.

Think that was fine.

Allegations?!?! The Dr Ford issue aside, even his old college buddies have publicly admitted to his & their behaviour.
This is the problem with today’s society: facts are getting distorted and nobody takes the time anymore to objectively fully study the facts before jumping to conclusions.
I was a student in the early to mid 90’s. Although I drank and took drugs, I certainly never behaved as appallingly as Kavanaugh and his chums did. Does that make Kavanaugh unfit to hold that position? I guess that’s a matter of opinion.

Another point is that if amazon can afford to increase wages like that overnight then it is proof that wages arent tied to production in any meaningful way and there is a huge margin going to corporate leaches thst rightfully belongs to workers.

Don't think that's ever been debatable.

 

[fishfingers15]

The new project

I didn't go to office today because there was a planned protest of fight for 15 at the corporate office.

EDIT: The letterhead address is where I work

 

[Drifter]

Quite a crowd out on Capitol Hill.Police arresting some.

This is true but there will be some creative accounting happening at amazon right now

Rams my friend - he liked a drink in college, yet has become one of the most distinguished district judges in USA after graduating from Yale where he was jarred half them time.

he should be applauded imo. he was always going to get this gig. It's been a shitshow on both sides - but he will still get the gig. the numbers are there. Maybe the Democrats would have been better trying to find a leader amidst their shambolic ramblings and utterances of moral standards.

I think I did write that whether or not his behavior at college and Yale makes him unfit to hold a position in the Supreme Court is a matter of opinion. To be honest I couldn’t give a shit whether or not he’s appointed, I’ve never even been to the states. I’m only interested in the politics.
The point I’m making is that his behaviour at college is not an allegation, it’s a fact back up by numerous eyewitnesses.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

The key part being that he lied about this behaviour to the Senate Committee. That should disqualify him.

 

[maniak]

Putting aside the women's allegation, it's amazing how a guy who clearly hates democrats will be at the supreme court. How can it be considered an independent court?

which allegation?? his drinking

 

[Rams]

which allegation?? his drinking

Not only his drinking. It’s more the other stuff he and his mates got up to at college (probably as result of them drinking, but that is an allegation).

 

[berbatrick]

which allegation?? his drinking

There are other, proven, lies.

[berbatrick]

Ironic how due process disappeared in that tweet

 

[Drifter]

Manchin still undecided . So that's a yes then.

He's still reading apparently. Acknowledged Heidtkamp's no.

 

[Drifter]

Someone shook him out of his coffin.Been quiet of late.

 

[Drifter]

He's still reading apparently. Acknowledged Heidtkamp's no.

Yeah just read that he was kicked out of the room while reading the report.

 

[nimic]

Dr. Fox, deary me! And he hasn't even deleted it yet. Does Trump have control of his twitter account?

 

[Rams]

It’s no wonder that nobody came forward and owned up the driving Dr Fox to the house

 

[Javi]

What do you mean?

 

[Halftrack]

So what is the caf verdict then? He's a drunken gang rape leader that suddenly stopped after college? I'm having a hard time believing all this. Something just doesn't make sense.

And you would be happy to ruin a mans life based on allegations?

He has three accusers. Now, accusations alone aren't enough, obviously, but when there are three separate accusers, all well respected with good careers, who has nothing to gain by coming forward, the old "no smoke without fire" springs to mind.

Then there's the fact that he lied, repeatedly, under oath during the hearing (and that's not the first time he's perjured himself), about dumbass shit like drinking, puking, and having consensual sex. Doesn't mean he's an attempted rapist (I don't think anyone has accused him rape), but it does mean that his word is, essentially, worthless. That's his own doing. He was the one who sat down and lied about all this trivial shit.

Then there's the fact that he didn't want the FBI to investigate. Surely, if you're being falsely accused of sexual misconduct and attempted rape, you'll welcome an investigation by the FBI. But he didn't want one. The logical conclusion is that he has something to hide, because what other reason could he have to not want the FBI to investigate?
