I mean, this headline does something similar to what the article criticizes. The effect of the Elle post is to trick people into THINKING about voting, not trick them in anyway at the ballot or about the information available. So, I guess my response is: “Meh.”

You have to qualify that “biggest conservative ghoul to appear in the Senate in the past 10 years” comment. does that mean most ghoulish, tallest, over all volume, or most conservative? there are a lot of other conservative senators who will feel slighted to come in second.

I feel super vindicated. I have been talking about this with my GF since Cardi’s single came out. Cardi has good comedic timing and you just change the story to her being a stripper rather than a hairdresser or whatever.

Unfortunately, impeachment is an act of political strength by the impeaching party party. Facts are important, but secondary. If facts were all that was necessary, this would be over by now.

Shouldn’t there be a credit for whomever made that pass distribution graphic?

Talking about “infrastructure” is a direct plea to Schumer whose “Gateway Project,” a necessary improvement to the infrastructure surrounding NYC, has been shelved because he would not vote for a border wall. When you wonder why Democrats capitulate, its because Trump has decided that infrastructure improvements are…

Here, just so you can see for yourself

I think the Court officer’s conduct is more susceptible to criticism on the grounds that these rules are not always enforced, not that they have a supreme right to whatever. For example, in Federal Court, you have to check your cell phone after you go through the metal detectors, unless you have a certain type of…

Guess where the receptionist is? If there even is one (some judges will elect for additional law clerks rather than a receptionist), they are always located in chambers.

No. Its like Minnesota traded three apples to get four back. Just because they ate one and threw the rest away doesn’t change the fact that they traded 3 and got 4.  

I think your general point is right. But why are you focused on the one democrat and not the 51 republicans? I think left-leaning people like to fight with each other in these situations because we are mad and want to lash out and the only ones who we can reach with are anger are those who are like minded. 

Its the party’s job to put forward the best candidate.  Isn’t it also peoples’ job to act in their own rational self-interest?

Just as a general point, senators are really bad at cross examination. I do not believe they have the time nor talent to really jam up someone. For example, It does not look like they ever introduce documents to refresh people’s memory no matter how many times they say “I don’t know.”

One of the things this article misses is that the Ford hearing was the Democrats tooth-and-nail fighting. Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing was ending by the time the Ford accusations were brought forward.

What if you blamed the people who nominated and confirmed Kavanaugh for nominating and confirming Kavanaugh? 

Yea. I feel like someone at Splinter gets assigned the “Lets dismiss everything else and blame the democratic party to show how progressive we are” article after things like this happen. Its obnoxious signaling. They are usually shit arguments, but its also their rock and they wanna die on it. I wouldn’t get to worked…

Ohio can STFU with their purported hatred of pesto. It probably just comes from the fact that pesto is not mayonnaise, which apparently must be put on everything in that state.

This strategy seems to be calling the Democrats chicken. You rush this BS FBI report (akin to the corporate internal investigation that magically finds all the major stakeholders in the company had no clue about the massive fraud), which everyone knew or suspected would be an exercise in advocacy. There are countless…

This tweet is targeted towards a certain group of Trump’s base that holds the inconsistent belief that they are somehow both “oppressed” and the “majority” at the same time. Because they hold these inconsistent beliefs, they are more likely to believe that their are shadowy forces arrayed against them.

That bear could not have been much more than one year old. its a cruel stunt.  Someone needs to invent a time machine ASAP for the sole purpose of seeing whether 9 year old khabib could BEAT A BEAR HIS OWN AGE.
