Trump openly shaming an attempted rape victim for not coming forward in official presidential statements. **** this country

and our current laws don't consider taxes to be theft

but of course we aren't talking about "our laws", we are talking about our conception of property rights and the relationships entwined therein



the underlined is continued wishy-washing on whether you "profit" a problem (whether it's "immoral", "illegal", or within whatever normative framework you adopt)

you do this a lot as this conversation wound down -

what is a moral policy that has "bad outcomes" for society?

doesn't the bad-ness of the outcome make the causing policy immoral?

isn't the key difference between "private" and "personal" property that private property is used as a means to profit and personal property is end-user stuff?

shameless exploitation, and baseless to boot...

Dr. Ford previously had no interest in publicly disclosing the information, and she has a record of privately disclosing the info prior to Kav's national spotlight.


Anybody still supporting Kav's bid - anybody not opposing Kav's bid - should be ashamed.

**** Feinstein for sitting on the information until a politically opportune moment


she should have already undertaken an investigation

instead she's throwing the victim to the wolves

Mets' "the rape allegation merits an investigation, but it needs to be concluded in two weeks because my party has power right now" position is unmitigatably deplorable.

This has turned into the 2+2 politics thread

Disgusting

Cory booker has groped women and bragged about it and he'll likely be in the top 5 candudates for president

But more so

I respect her not wanting kavanaugh in the room when she's there, that's a fair ask

But if the senators are more comfortable with a female lawyer asking that's fair

And kavanaugh has to go last. He's the one who has to defend himself

The rest is fair if he asking for a few extra days and such

But you guys just say to blindly believe her is unfair

She took a poly. That should count for something and it's not a greyskull so i agree it's admissible. Let her tel her side. Let him. And vote

Regarding the deadline, there are cases beimg heard on the 6tg and if you were going to leak this ladies name, which they did, then you should have done it earlier. That was my point

Im not responding to the rest cause you will all attack me like you did luckbox when he didn't post anything bad

And if peolle decide not to vote kavanaugh over this, that's fine. But they should all be heard and then the senate can decide

The presumption of guilt since it isn't a trial is part of the issue

And yes she did not name kavanaugh during her therapy according to reports. But the therapist needs to testify as well

Fir her sake i would favor non public

I think this gets into the whole issue of Feinstein sitting on it fwiw.

You...

Quick article that addresses the latest whataboutism Mets posted (Booker)

Lol Mets getting his marching orders from Fox and devouring their boots in his rush over here to spout it.

Basically yes

I don’t understand that quip about Booker, Mets. Why do you feel that is relevant to the Kav thing?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

This isn't half as clever as you think it is.

Not trying to be clever man, just staying within the rules

That's not how the rules work.

Is it whataboutism though? I think Corey Booker is awful. So I don’t even see the hypocrisy he is trying to imply exists

Mets I think the chief problem people are having itt is that you still seem to support Kav despite the accusations of rape. Is that correct or would you rather not see him made a Supreme Court Justice?

I don't follow. I was pretty sure that the rules outlined that we should address users posts, and not the user themselves... or am I incorrect?

He supports any and all Republican nominees to the court no matter what skeletons may be in their closet. His posts indicate true authoritarian bootlicking. If he has been handed orders that x person should sit on the supreme court, he will defend that view to the death no matter what is revealed.

Or perhaps more generally, in what scenarios would you be happy to see him confirmed?
