It is difficult to hear or read any of Kavanaugh’s male defenders, and not wonder what they might have done to any women in the past.

They are the party of misogyny. Men never understand this - SO MANY men are rapists, at varying levels. If you told me right now that at least 3/4 of the men in power today have a history of sexual harassment or assault, it wouldn’t surprise me AT ALL. I’d expect most of them to be Republican, but maybe like a third…

No no no, you gotta give Trump voters some credit here. They really are this stupid.

You’re right, we should instead focus on the informed opinions based on the thousands of documents and sworn testimony detailing how this guy is still an asshole.

The part where Republicans already had a letter from 65 women he didn’t rape drafted and ready to go means they knew about this as well and wanted to avoid it going public because of how firmly they believe he didn’t do it.

You’re absolutely right.  I strongly urge you to quit your job right now.  Own the libs.

Totally. Those are the only options. Bezos generously gives us a pittance of the money he only has because of all of us, or nothing. There is nothing else we can hope for with the money.

I used to argue with people like that. But when their opinion trumps facts, I realized you can’t actually have any type or real dialogue with them and it was a waste of my time.

Yes, he would have been better off keeping the $2 billion because he’d have $2 billion. Now he doesn’t. If you mean to ask we would be less critical of him if he kept the $2 billion, then... probably not. You don’t get points for minimal work. To paraphrase Chris Rock, when it comes to philanthropy work and rich…

Yeah, about the closest thing to a “defense” that can be mounted for Abby Huntsman (and mind you, I’m not saying it’s a good defense, or even a defense period) is that she was mounting the Standard-Conservative-Talking-Point-Defense for Trump on this issue, and got hit with a new rejoinder. For reasons I won’t go…

The damage is pretty much irreparable at this point. My whole life, I’ve generally been all about “giving everyone a voice,” but this was hinged on a generally good faith argument. Conservatives in this country have pretty much spent the past few years wiping their ass with the idea of good faith, spewing out and out…

I have read two articles about this now, and one thing keeps troubling me: it’s no longer the “white man’s burden” but the “rich man’s burden.”

+1 Hurled roll of paper towel

Yeah, it’s like we’ve finally (hopefully!) reached the nadir of the slide into proud ignorance that Dubya really kicked into high gear.

People become Democrats because somewhere deep down they believe in the exact same policies that the leftists “insurgents” of today are now pursuing. But an entire generation was implicitly taught that those ideals were not realistic. And now they are afraid to embrace them wholeheartedly.

Cruz and Walker.

Do you... do you think Brown is just releasing everyone over 40?

Did you miss the part of the article that points out that extensive research has shown that most people age out of committing violent crimes and the risk that someone released from prison after the age of 40 will reoffend is extremely low?

So, I am fully of rage generally thee days, but this little reality REALLY chaps my tits. These people are enabling, undermining, leaking to journalists - they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and they fuck around actively ignoring it for purely self serving reasons. And then, when it’s all said and done, they…
