Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...

Presumption of innocence? Due process?

You know this isn't a trial, right? You know that "not getting put onto the Supreme Court" and "getting thrown in jail" are different things, right?

Of course you do - of course you know better.

Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...

I mean, there is a Merrick Garland-shaped glass house in which there's presently a lot of rock-fighting. It is ludicrous to say there isn't a rush to confirm Kavanaugh, to "plow through" the proceedings, one might say. You cannot tell me that, were the midterms not right around the corner,...

Re: 2018-19 College Basketball Expert Picks

I don't see a good path for Weber to win COY without winning a share of the Big 12. The expectations will be for KSU to finish in the top-3, so there isn't much room for Weber to exceed expectations without claiming a share. I would guess that either Self will win it (by going 16-2 or better), or so...

Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...

Like I said, I'm up for an investigation. It just has to investigate the right people. Up until last week, Ms. Ramirez couldn't even remember for sure if Brett Kavanaugh was at a party where something clearly traumatic happened to her. She admits to being blackout drunk and not remembering much els...

Re: Evaluating Bill Self's future at Kansas and five candidates to one day replace the Hall of Famer

First of all, the last sentence is hilarious. "He's at a direct rival of Kansas." Bull. But... From that list, it would either be Hoiberg or White. I mean, I went to battle with this on .net, but I still think Bennett would be my top choice if Self leaves in the next 5 years. But we are s...

Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...

My problem with calling it strategy is that with Garland, they simply refused to confirm, whereas they are intentionally smearing, and, in my opinion, trying to ruin Kavanaugh. In my view, that is a huge moral difference. If only there were a way to, like, look into...evaluate...ascertain...inquire...

so why can’t this be called strategy by the libtards? and, as has been asserted, why do so many people avoid calling this credible?

Re: My take on NY times/Rosenstein

I knew what you meant. But neither of us should pretend that Trump shares our forethought. or even has the capacity for it. Sure, but would this sequence of events really surprise you: 1. Paranoid over NYT reports, Trump instructs Kelly to ice Rosenstein while Trump is away from DC. 2. Rosenstein s...

Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...

I think he should have to give fuller and more specific explanations of his actions while in the GWB White House, and in respect of his personal finances. And both of those areas were known yellow or red flags before any of the sexual assault issues came to light.

Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...

So: what happened, then? Did the GOP just blow this one in the layoff line, then, by nominating a candidate with a bad background? I don't think we've established that he has a "bad background". It is a supposition made by people with an agenda who are unbound by the constraints of concep...

Here, then, I'll excerpt the paragraph that I omitted: Any number of grub-like Yale jurist-ghouls with diamond-edged ‘80s-dad hair and uniformly right-wing ideas about constitutional law could get confirmed to fill the Supreme Court’s vacant ninth seat, and once in that seat could be counted upon t...

Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...

so there’s no difference between “attempting to score” and sexual assault? Same way as "not giving him a lifetime appointment to the highest job in his field" is the exact same thing as "ruining his life." You know as well as anyone that this would end his career. "If he's ...

Re: My take on NY times/Rosenstein

Maybe "expedient?" I use "pragmatic" in the sense that Trump firing Rosenstein is MUCH more dangerous, for Trump, than Rosenstein resigning, in the "will the rest of his life play out in comfortable exile, or in prison" manner.
