kavanaugh otoh *will* have this be a big hit to his rep.and itll be constantly brought up till he dies, if he's confirmed

is my.bet

dunno

this happened to Thomas as well

Even a lot of conservatives and Kavanaugh said they thought she was telling the truth. Just that she was wrong.

But then he used his black card and won @LotheronPrime

"minds were made up before 1 word was uttered"

yes.... and you are saying how dare he call you out for that too

Projection

"sjws always project" said that one guy, vox day or something

"none of us have made an effort to do the right thing, and its the republicans fault!"

apparently protestors are being held back from the committee room by capitol police. they're in the hall.

I had my mind made up, but that’s only because I knew these hearing weren’t going to add anything. I read Fords claims, and made up my mind based on the information available. Nothing wrong with that.

what does credible even mean here?

Being a neoliberal

It means It was the only right one and anything contrary is #FakeNews

last i checked, having no collaborating evidence makes something not credible.

but what about the feels?

like, if the FBI looks into a treat on the president, and there is 0 indication it is possible, they don't label that credible

chairmen looks bored af

its about lived experiences and lived realities, and ford's lived reality > kavanaugh's

female lived reality > male

he's half dead

#equality

"equality means men are women are equal....and for men and women to be equal, men must be subservient"

#newspeak'

"War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength"

semirelated, saw a paper awhile.back that when men treat women equally to men, that women see it as mean and hurtful

and thus sexism

don't need a paper

when women complain about needing to fight for positions in a company, you see it there

they see it as sexism, men see it as the norm

look at people calling the term colorblind racism ffs!

not seeing skin color and only seeing humans, is somehow racist because you are not treating them different

@Grenade123 Orwell is half-truth, second half is Huxley - both combined is what we're starting to have in this world 😉

It's Huxwellian!

I hate when my mom talks at me about the Kavanaugh thing because she has no doubt whatsoever about what is alleged to have happened, when there is zero evidence of anything.

i have a running theory, mostly a joke theory, that the reason man has been used is not sexism. People just shorted human to just man, then women demanded they be treated differently because "its not fair" so we said "okay, women".

Used to be,iirc, man in that context was neutral. only when feminism hit did people see it as gendered, in English. We got it by way of German though and they have gendered words. Not sure of the history of its usage there

gender used to mean biological sex too

and how we got gender as separate is a fucked up story.

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

they think if they control language, they can erase thoughts, ideas, and actions. That if you can't talk about them, you can't share them. They fail to realize humans were not given language, we made it. Therefore no single person or group can control language because language is made and used by individuals.

there was a botched op on a male baby, so he got the parents to raise the kid as female. lots of fucked shit ensued and to make a long story short since im on a phone, he used it as evidence of gender and the parents two kids committed suicide as adults

removing a word doesn't make the thing go away, it just forces the evolution of a new word

his "research" was considered groundbreaking

label the term black person bad? we change to African-american. Well, thats the same physical thing, so of course now we go to POC. (ironically close to colored person, which was some iteration of black at some point)

i wish so bad people'd start using poc as a slur. it seems to escape everyone's notice how similar it is to "colored people."

I mean, poc rolls off the tongue like kike, wop, mick, etc. its begging to be a slur!

there was a video, maybe crowder? where an SJW said "colored people" instead of "people of color"

oh wow

oh it was funny

@yvaN_ehT_nioJ poc ? Picker of cotton ?

pocemon 😛

@Rabbi Shekels Ayyyy

Poc is already racist

lol, it is. But by looking at their skin color we validate their identity as pocs or some shit

If saying "colored people" is racist, is the NAACP racist?<:TimThink:482277772497125378>

To not look at color ignores their lived experiences

since only privileged white cis males have the luxury of not being judged by skin color

I'm here I'm here

so what the fuck is going on this time

Blame Reactor

dems had a hissy fit and rage quit the committee stuff or something, and theyre wasting time.before they actually vote on Kav

grandstanding etc. typical Capitol tomfoolery

81.5%

?

https://electionbettingodds.com/Kavanaugh_4hr.html

👌

bad odds if you want to make some 💰

Ill put $2 on Kav to post, anyway. YOLO

You guys are joking.

People say nigga and queer all the time and fully embrace it.

PoC is nothing.

I'll put $40 down on Kav getting nominated

nominated for investigation ? 😃

if people use it negatively itll gain negative connotation in due time, imo. words have as much power as we're willing to give them.

this circus, still has audience here?

i come back, and now i'm hearing literally the same i heard an hour ago, but from a different mouth

yeah

also, Kav called the hearing a calculated move.

but you know, context doesn't matter to the left

they're still hung up on the FBI

Just come back at 1:30pm when they vote

yah

The dems are just talking shit

Jeff Flake says he will vote Yes on Kavanaugh

honestly I feel bad for the SCOTUS confirmation process

https://www.npr.org/2018/09/28/652486413/judiciary-committee-set-to-vote-on-kavanaugh-friday-with-eyes-on-undecided-jeff-

So Kavanaugh is most likely confirmed

Yep, I logged out. It's literally nothing

this will only further divide

@LotheronPrime exactly

Dems and women will always view Kavanaugh as a sexual assaulter

Republicans will always accuse Dems of hiding accusation until the 11th hour

Attempting to delay the vote until after midterms

It's a mess all around

I hope repubs don't do this

2 wrongs don't make a right

in the future I mean

i still believe this was part of a larger scheme

oh absolutely

its the #resist trump movement

whether or not that scheme will pan out remains to be seen.

this fiasco probably hurt the democrats significantly in the mid-terms

you'd think

I think people are none the wiser, honestly

Atkins, Whats the end goal?

the question is, how many undecided/neutral people are watching. and did yesterday sway them?

this^

power. but what exact form, i don't know. I do know however that the american left has consistently underestimated the rage on the right, and that their strategies always hinge on the assumption that the right will play by the rules and remain within the law and behave in a civil fashion.

those so entrenched they keep doubling down on party lines despite things not working were never gonna be swayed

It goes either way and this just divides us even more fuckig shia lebuffer

so I think the end goal of the american left will hinge on that same assumption. that the right will just go along quietly with whatever lawlessness the left engages in.

i expect them to bend or ignore the rules, break the law and get away with it, and to behave in the most barbaric way possible.

The left already doesnt giv a fuk

I think this played extremely poorly for the Democrats and the undecided will see it. But I could be in my own bubble so who the fuck knows

maybe they really believe they can get president pelosi through impeaching the potus and vp.

They be doxing and commiting violence anyways

Well to be fair to dems they got the same things done the last time

Tru

So i understand why they want to return the favor

if they're willing to go all out and risk so much and burn so much credibility to keep the scotus deadlocked that tells me their greater strategy involves a constitutional crisis

Trump is going to get a SCJ pick, there is nothing the Dems can do about it. Running this hearing process through the mud is going back fire on them in a huge way for absolutely no gain.

shootselfinfoot.jpeg

It might

It won't hurt the Dems

I just thought it was interesting that soviets and communists also split up women

@Poppy Rider I think so as well but we could be in our own echo chamber for all we know

Then again its such a shitshow all around that it might not

Public backlash will hit Ford. Dem voters will see Dems as heroes

But Dem voters would be vote Dem anyway

I'm interested in the center

correct

I don't like either side, call me a fence sitter. I'm looking at this with common sense and grant the same mentality to the average joe.

Those that lean towards L+B will still vote Dem

Since Kav is now automatically an evil rapist drunkard double Hitler

It won’t hurt the Democrats or the Republicans. The divide between both will just get more bitter.

And again, the opposition will hit Ford, not the people who hyped her story

I don't know

I think most people will see Ford as a pawn

Used by the Democrats

She let herself be used

Fair

Probably didnt expect how bad it will get

Most people will just see the accusation tbh

And not really pay attention to the details

She wanted that #Metoo hero status. I remember watching her sob when a senator was praising her as a hero. Her lawyer is a big #MeToo activist

People who read up on issues in detail are a minority, which means to them it's Ford trying to ruin Kavanaugh or Ford bravely standing against Kavanaugh

I dont know sunless

the dems were willing to sacrifice the supreme court for hillary

trump could end up pciking three or four justices

honestly, the repubs shouldn't have delayed obama's pick either

^^^

and this is osmeone that was happy with the outcome

That's why turning it into a big media sideshow was such a scummy move

but shoudn't have happened

That’s what it is

An accusation oh well

Agreed

I could accuse someone of racism

Which is likely they’ll be phased by it since it’s thrown around all the time

And people would look at them like “is that guy racist?”

Hillary has a lot of power. Imagine if she had won. The Democrats that hadn’t towed the line would have been destroyed.

I shudder to think what would have happend if HRC won

They had no choice. She controlled the money and the DNC. How could they not play ball? Even Sanders kissed the ring.

She would have basically used the Supreme Court to pass legislation

@Timcast the dems thought that hillary would have won. they weren't planning on sacrificing anything.

they thought that their media dominance and poll manipulation would be enough

they were planning on having absolute unquestioned power from now until the end of time.

What’s going on today looks like a tv show rerun. It’s all the same crap

they didn't expect the possibility of investigations into any of their malfeasance and have been playing a desperate game of delay and obfuscate ever since.

All the same arguments. All the same accusations. It’s actually pretty boring

When the confirmation vote finally happens, the social media shit show will be fun though.

Is it true that Kavanaugh thinks a president has the right to self-pardon?

no

I don’t think so.

they took a statement of his out of context.

I remember that being debunked

Anyone predicting riots over this?

Nah

what he was saying was the DOJ stance since the 1970s, which was a civil suit against the president is delayed until after he leaves office.

I don’t think so either.

Riots are more antifa's thing

This is the pussy hat wearing cult

They'll just screech like harpies

So we’ll get a huge pussy hat event next week?

More likely than a riot

Autistic screeching for rights they already have

Yeah might be rioting.

we'll see more attacks on republican officials in public life. like at restaurants or as they're leaving their homes.

Sometimes Antifa follows them though. Didn’t we get a big riot from them before a pussy hat event in Washington?

they'll be stalked and harassed everywhere they go.

God. Kavanaugh can never go in public again

Eating in forever

they might start harassing his daughters.

I like beer , DO YOU ?

Yeah, I feel bad for him and his family

trying to tell them that their dad is a sexual predator

@Rabbi Shekels very do

Beer will be the new symbol of Racism, sexism, and colonialism

Why don’t you ask the FBI to investigate you ?

🍺 =🐸👌🏻

Like really dems ?

I’m going to have a beer tonight to celebrate the civil war.

Imgonna fap drink then nap

I'll be watching the civil war from really far away.

Smart

Dude i just wanted to play video games and shitpost

Me too

Apparently the earliest evidence of beer from barley is from Iran

I honestly did not want to know shit about politics

So we're culturally appropriating that shit

I think we all can relate to dankula

Great @Dan V now everyone hates beer for politics

If there is civil war all of google, apple, twitter, and facebook's data will be in the hands of the left. Privacy laws won't apply anymore so they'll be eagerly digging through that for wrongthinkers.

^^^

You can't sit back and watch if you've said anything that they wouldn't like.

@Deleted User but it means it can't be white supremacist

So...there's that

@Dan V some people consider Persians to be white

They're more white than some Italians lol

Personally I don’t care

They're not even going to throw me in a gulag. I get a shot behind the ear and get dumped in the river.

Sounds amazing

This timeline has gotten real weird

I have a sweet get rich quick scheme it involves sexual allegations and go fund me who’s in?

\

Shut up contro you're a dude

Xe could identify as a wahmen anytime xe wants

Wtf !!!

Did you just assume contros gender abel ?

👮

You got a loisance for dat gender assumption, m8?

Watching a bunch of boomers throw insults, rape allegations, and calling each other racist is making me feel better about my generation

marnin volks

@Abel #believeme

Wjat are you? Millenial, zoomer, the other one?

I think it’s like a weird x thing

Feintstein confessed that she did not leak the letter ..... Her chauffeur did .

Daily reminder that literally anyone who could credibly claim to have been in that area of Maryland during the year of 1982 would have about as much proof that Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape them as Dr. Ford does.

My mother is convinced he's a _bad bad man_ like the ones she met in college.

what crowd was she hanging out with in college?

I think she's just retconning her life, to make it seem like she has any reason to doubt the basic moral integrity of Brett Kavanaugh.

She also thinks that he "comported himself" at the hearing in a way that "suggests he is not temperamentally fit for that post in 2018"

FBI must investigate all rape allegations

Hahahaha

hot damn
