Honestly, my position on this doesn't go much beyond "someone this uncomfortable with transparency and unvarnished truth shouldn't get a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court." You won't believe me, but up until the 2016 general election, I hadn't cast a vote for a Democratic federal c...

I have seen contentions to that effect but no verification. What are you talking about? There have been a number of sworn statements that are of the Trumpian, obviously-false variety, the "wait, you're even trying to lie about this?" variety. I have seen nothing that could not be chalked ...

How can he lie when he is refuting falsified accusations in the first place? It’s not a lie when you contradict a lie. Basic logic. You are aware that he spoke more than one sentence, right? And that all of those sentences need to be the truth when you are under oath? A number of his statements hav...

Of all the things Beaty has screwed up over the last four years, the lack of stability at quarterback due to his pea-brained indecisiveness has to be the worst, right? Carter Stanley just played the best game any QB has played during the Beaty era (75% completion percentage, 3 TDs, 0 turnovers) and...

man, I was hoping to hold out for some more snarky conservative zingers before actually attempting civil discussion, but let's just get into it. Trump is arguably the most extreme example of a lack of civility in politics, and very well may have changed the game. But is he a cause or a symptom? Wer...

Anyone see links to the videos?

Can you prove you didn’t rape her? Monster! I can't tell if you're intentionally or unintentionally missing the point: I don't think that it is necessary to find that he did rape Ford, or even probably raped Ford, to find that he lacks the basic candor and transparency that should be absolute prere...

I never said your talking points weren't your own!

didn't you operate out of a pizza joint? And that's the relevant question. The pizza-gate story was treated for what it was -- complete lunacy. The sex-ring story -- just as insane and just as dangerous -- was treated as legitimate news. Moreover, y'all are gonna nominate the guy for president. Oh....

Insisting on no burden of proof whatsoever leads to this kind of dipshittery. https://twitter.com/CalebHowe/status/1045682767458127873 I think there is a standard implicit in a confirmation proceeding (given the Senate's "advise and consent" role): it is the nominee's burden to persuade t...

It is not surprising that things got left off as "he-said, she-said." It is only slightly less surprising that people are still suggesting that due process and the accuser having a burden of proof matter here, at all. Insisting on no burden of proof whatsoever leads to this kind of dipshi...

It is not surprising that things got left off as "he-said, she-said." It is only slightly less surprising that people are still suggesting that due process and the accuser having a burden of proof matter here, at all. Kavanaugh lacks candor. He lies in big ways and small ways. He is openly...

Yeah. Just saying Murkowski's role in this process comes at an interesting point given the controversy at home.

I'm watching Fox. I want to see this exactly as Trump sees it.

I assume you're familiar with what Murkowski has going on in her home state?

I agree that could be where this is going, but I'm not sure that gets the GOP to a better landing spot than "maybe she's telling the truth, but it's a politically-motivated truth and process!" Ok? I don't doubt that a great deal of strategy has gone into the timing of revealing things. At ...

There is no question in my mind as to whether she is being truthful as to her recollections. There is obviously a mile (and, I suppose, some statutes of limitations) between that and criminal culpability or civil liability for Kavanaugh. But that's not why we're here. By far, the more important part...

Opening with some strong both-sidesing!
