I thought that was just a meme

@Mana One who is always right

They cannot be debated

centrALism

Centrism isn't really its own separate set of ideas as it is a catch-all category for people who are more or less split on how much power they want the government to have

I'm talking super generalized here

Not Libertarian vs Conservative

I don't think it's fair to say that only centrists adhere to principles instead of toeing the party line

<:TimThink:482277772497125378> <:TimThink:482277772497125378> <:TimThink:482277772497125378> those two things you just said are completely incompatible

You can't both value principle over party AND tow the party line

Exactly @I AM ERROR

@Jasse that's also not accurate. Most centrists don't believe that the middle ground is the right answer only BECAUSE it's the middle ground

100k people watched the motion to invoke cloture yesterday

On the Fox News YT livestream

20k people are watching right now and nothing is even happening

There isnt even any sound

Bernie "Bread Lines are good" Sanders lmao

MatPat 2020?

Can anyone check their local C-span channel to see if they're covering it right now

I don't know it just is

Is it a big crowd

"I want the right to CHOOSE to kill my child if I don't want it"

@GingaBomber funny enough, that's what one of the corroborating witnesses she mentioned by name said when asked about her

"Who's Julia Swetnik"

no

oh

yes

carry on

^^^^^

and Dennis Rodman

I'm sorry, Rye, but this is AMERICA

you have to PROVE he's ugly

else we presume his good looks

😍

Thomas Jefferson freed the slaves in 1492

@Senny this belongs in the appropriate channel <#399204742846349312>

Fox News finally got audio lmao

Final debate around Kavanaugh has just started

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEzo-mbGOhU

I absolutely hate this dark gray color of my name

it does not mesh well with Discord dark theme

Fox News has had a YT livestreaming thing for a long time

I'm getting tired of these partisan hacks using sexual assault stories as a shield to hide behind when they don't get their way

better that 10 stowaways be freed than 1 honest sailor thrown overboard

This Senator from Hawaii is trying so hard

!rank

t!rank

approaching 2

3 EST is when the final vote begins iirc

CORROBORATING WITNESSES AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think it's the same as abstention

I hate how this whole Kavanaugh situation was handled

Everything about it was either the result of incompetence or malice

Everything from Senator Feinstein holding on to the allegations up until the 11th hour to the FBI "Investigation" not even interviewing either of the only 2 witnesses with firsthand testimony

Everything about it on both sides was hyper-partisan and disgusting

not LITERALLY everything

come on now

I'm not even thinking about the specifics of Ford's testimony vs Kavanaugh's testimony

I wonder how long an actual non-criminal investigation would have taken with proper heads up

You know, like in July.

When Ford first came forward to Senator Feinstein

instead of less than 2 weeks from the hearing

I know

Really makes you think why they didn't plead for an investigation when the accusations were first made public <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

And why the first thing they demanded was a hearing <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

And why they kept delaying the hearing <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

And why they waited until the hearing to ask for an investigation <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

All this rhetoric is tiring to be honest

The real sad part about this is that the dems may actually have a valid point about Kavanaugh's temperament, but it's list among all the ridiculous nonsense they tried to peddle

*lost

Well Kavanaugh's nomination isn't a sure thing

the motion to invoke cloture was 51-49

probably 3 EDT

seems like it

I don't think ANYONE will be abstaining from this vote

their entire career could depend on it

I'm not 100% on Kavanaugh anymore tbh. What with that of "LUL this is the work of the Clintons" from his opening statement

"revenge on behalf of the clintons"

exact words

you're right

my misquote

but the point is the same. Despite how right he is to be angry, the degree to which he became emotional was a little troubling

The voting is about to begin

like a what

oh those things have a name

Supreme Court Justices are supposed to be the most well-tempered people in the entire country, not able to be emotionally manipulated or angered to the point Kavanaugh was. They are supposed to be level-headed and impartial, no matter how partisan something may be.

I'm NOT saying he's unfit to be a Supreme Court Justice

but he's not perfect

@Inquisition is right

I was waiting for you to post a picture or something @Scribblehatch

@Scribblehatch fake news

prove it

Why, Black Dynamite, WHY??

I saw Blade





Runner

they better not

look at the movie promo posters

he's running on a blade

duh

my livestream is sperging out

what is he even referring to
