Hey Nintex, which quotes belong Kavanaugh and which belong to conservative opinions in conservative site op-eds and comment sections?

Quote
You are just part of a sham, devious, last-minute WaPo-PC-Democrat-feministing smear attack

Quote
Revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups

Quote
You are denying the fairness of laws that require the contemporary corroboration (not provided) of the specific sexual assault charges by Ford, which she cannot fully remember.

Quote
It’s a progressive culture rejecting a man it never truly embraced.

Quote
This grotesque, character assassination will dissuade confident and good people of all political persuasions from serving our country and as we all know in the political system of the early 2000s, what goes around comes around.

Still think he was "just mad"?

Relevant:

Kavanaugh has released an op-ed in the WSJ. Glen rejoices! ;)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/i-am-an-independent-impartial-judge-1538695822

Quote
That is because I forcefully and passionately denied the allegation against me. At times, my testimony—both in my opening statement and in response to questions—reflected my overwhelming frustration at being wrongly accused, without corroboration, of horrible conduct completely contrary to my record and character. My statement and answers also reflected my deep distress at the unfairness of how this allegation has been handled.

Also the partisan ranting was in the pre-written statement.

Remember when Sotomayor said something about empathy and we got a bunch of thinkpieces about whether she'd be too emotional to serve on the court? Fun times.

https://medium.com/@ScottMStedman/simona-mangiante-papadopoulos-is-misleading-the-public-about-her-background-8d5f7504230d

I believe we had some discussions about this a while back, but this Sonoma Magiante-Papadopoulos chick apparently has been misrepresenting who she is and what she’s been doing.

She’s probably not a lawyer at all, and is quite a few years older than she has been saying. Some of the companies she lists in her background have no record of her ever working there.

The evidence that he lied to the Senate has been there and is right in front of your face. You can look at like any paper and news channel and read it for yourself.

Like the guy who lived down the hall from in college was like “oh yeah, Debbie got drunk and Brett gave her the ol’ Arabian goggles (no offense exo), everybody knew that”

There’s plenty of documentation that he was a sloppy drunk, or was just bald faced lying about his drinking, things he was involved with in the White House, that he leaked details of Grand Jury investigations, or that he went to a party that summer that sounded a whole lot like what Ford said.

Democrats, the media, his acquaintances, and school mates have all produced dozens of receipts showing why he shouldn’t be a justice. It’s not inaccurate to say this investigation was perfunctory and designed to look into as few details as possible and to have as low of a chance as possible at showing any new details.

I think it’s unlilely to work as political cover, but that’s the purpose of it, and not to actually prove or disprove the allegations.

Right. However, you are only looking at one side of the evidence.

So for example, you talk about the evidence for the Ramirez incident. You've missed out that Ramirez stated there were six people who could directly corroborate her story. Every single one of them denied it happened. This included her best friend who claimed it never happened and that Ramirez never even mentioned the incident to her. Similar to Ford actually. Ford claimed there were four people who could directly corroborate her story and this also included her best friend. Ford was asked why her friend denied it happened and Ford stated her friend had health issues.

In terms of the accusations it really isn't cut and dried. It only is if you ignore one side of the evidence.

 IMO, he was demonstrated that he was inappropriate before any of that even came up, and it’s unfortunate that that is now the main focus.

Deborah Ramirez has st least two people who have said either “she told me about this like 30 years ago” or “I remember hearing about this in college”.

Somebody saying “I don’t remember that!” doesn’t really mean much to me, because why would they remember it? I don’t remember tons of shit about even myself, much less every sketchy thing that happened to everybody I kind of am acquainted with.

If Collins votes Yes, his vote doesn't change anything and he's running in a state Trump won by over 40 points.

I think Harris is actually a pretty decent candidate, and at this point I prefer her to most of the other potential candidates.

She’s the right gender and is melanin enhanced, which a pretty big plus for Democrats (rightly or wrongly), but has enough in common with Bernie on policy so his racist cauc-bro-cishet Nazi-lite followers can still get behind her.

Biggest things against her:
- former prosecutor, so I almost guarantee you there are a few cases where someone who worked for her got some wrongly accused black dude to plead guilty on some shit he might not have done while ignoring some outside evidence (or something like that)... but I’m not really sure how one attacks her from the right on that.

- she was kind of an idiot on that one line of questioning with Kavanaugh where she’s acting like she’s about to pull some receipts but never did. That may prove to be an MO of hers and not an isolated incident.

Corey Booker is basically black Hillary. If you want to elect someone who talks in generalities about needing to do things better and make things more fair while doing nothing to address Income equality, medical costs, police brutality, or improving public education. He is your man.

Corey Booker is the candidate for Democrats that think  Barack Obama was black enough but otherwise too much of a radical liberal. That appears to be a shrinking part of the party.

Franken could still run in 2020 with the tag line. “Sometimes you actually do have to grab them by the pussy”. (FYI I think he was screwed and at least two of his accusations were fake or overblown).
