It seems really fishy that she is trying to make excuses for not testifying. Even if you take the most cynical view of partisanship, Flake and Corker have indicated that they are open to hearing her when there was no need for them to do so. She has 51 Senators willing to give her a fair shake, and offering convincing testimony would be the only way for her to stop her alleged attacker from joining the Supreme Court. By not testifying, she is basically just helping Kavanaugh get confirmed at this point. If she really is a victim, she should want to stop him, but instead she is engaged in partisan grandstanding.

Another problem is that the blackpillers tend to be from the younger generations (Millennial and Gen Z; Jourdan of course is an outlier who's been so beaten down by decades of losing in California and the State Dept that he's unable to give up his fatalist outlook). These are people who were raised on TV and the Internet--they are addicted to instant gratification and become easily frustrated when no deus ex machina appears by the end of the episode. They basically have black fella-tier time preference and no conception of the possible, preferring to compare every real world move with their utopian fanfic.
They also have absolutely no standing to critique Donald Trump, whose achievements in business, entertainment and politics speak for themselves. How many of these people have their lives remotely in order? And yet they see fit to assume they know better than Dr President Donald f**king Trump.
I can understand where this lack of humility on the far right comes from. They feel that because they understand many of the forbidden truths about Clown World that those in the mainstream are not willing or able to acknowledge they have a better understanding of the overall picture. It should go without saying that while this tendency is understandable on some level it is wrongheaded and arrogant in the extreme, and evinces an IYI mentality of assuming that you know more about something of which you have no direct knowledge than someone who not only has a massive informational advantage but has demonstrated outstanding competence through his actions.
tl;dr If the blackpillers know so much better than Trump why is he a multibillionaire married to a supermodel who won the White House on his first foray into politics while they are hysterical on the internet no matter how much America is winning?
Dr?

Did he earn his doctorate at Trump University?

Are you planning an inquisition? Does Trump also get a pointy hat and his own Sistine Chapel?
Alright come *on*. This is getting to the point of actual cult behavior. Trump is not God, he is a man, he is fallible just like any one of us is, and he has fucked up many times, he is not free from criticism. "This guy managed to win an election so you can't criticize him for not being in the same situation". Are only presidents supposed to criticize presidents? And also, you cannot be serious, he absolutely has not demonstrated outstanding competence in his actions whatsoever. You're talking about the "TREASON?" guy? The "Witch Hunt!" guy? "Covfefe"? I expect more from you man, come on. You can say that the criticism is a bit much without posting this rabid essay on why Trump must be bowed down to.
Not sure if this is Copypasta.

Also DC ultraliberal landwhales sit in Chuck Grassley's office trying to intimidate him from confirming Kavanaugh
They arent his constituents
So why should he listen to them
@FLanon @Pielover19 its a copypasta from MPC
Also I'm not saying you can't criticize him
I'm saying that those criticisms are often unfounded, poorly thought out, based on an out of touch perspective, etc
Its not "cult behavior" to call it for what it is
Lol at this dumb persecution complex / "making poorly thought out criticisms makes me a special snowflake independent thinker and if you won't let me whine that means you're just a brainwashed Trump cultist" mentality
You don't have to be a president to criticize a president but...
It's undeniable that many of these criticisms of Trump from the right are from people who have no clue how politics, business, public relations, etc really work
You have fags like Button who think he should drop everything else to try to ram the Wall through... Despite the fact that it would be an incredibly risky gambit because you're not guaranteed to get the wall regardless, you're not spending your political capital on other important things, which means you risk spending a lot of time on something that could just fall flat, kinda like what happened to Obamacare. Meanwhile, you could focus on all the things that are actually achievable while keeping illegal immigration down through means that are in your control
Also those retarded sounding tweets do serve a purpose
Think of it this way
Its kinda like Hearts of Iron 4
You got a set amount of political influence to handle crises
Its best to save some for a rainy day
If it drops too low your nation is thrown into turmoil
@Kevin yeah, sort of
Immigration and the wall are hugely important, but... Look how much of a hassle nominating a center right judge to the SCOTUS is
It's not an "independent thinker" mentality. He's simply not managing his resources effectively. He has immense potential to rally the GOP to his side which he's not using, allowing the GOP to use him as their vehicle instead of the other way around is the antithesis of what the election was about. The point is that the stuff he can control, he's not doing effectively, and he has much more potential to really shape the GOP but isn't. He could have managed these elections around his platforms. The tweets, especially the witch hunt ones, are not serving their intended purpose. They make him look like he's guilty, in a lot of competitive districts, most people polled believe Trump has committed a crime while in office. He probably didn't, but he's doing a bad job at avoiding looking guilty. This is the point: he has to be held accountable for his actions, considering how key these next few years are, he has do be fulfilling the purpose of him being here or we've wasted our time.
"He has immense potential to rally the GOP to his side which he's not using, allowing the GOP to use him as their vehicle"
are you so sure of that
what do you mean by 'the GOP'
after all, many GOP incumbents in the congress were those who tried to undermine him in 2016 and still do
The GOP.
He could have made the contract and offered it to congressmen
He could have threatened their re-election chances if they didn't
He has so much power with the GOP electorate and could easily leverage that against the establishment in Congress.
Those people could have all been primaried if Trump wished, and with a plan to get Trump's legislation done, a much higher chance of challengers actually winning the seat.
