  1. Ironic, since he’s been a staff infection here at Texas.

  2. Just stop. Hell's bells, I was a Republican for nearly 20 years, even worked on W's gubernatorial campaign and first Presidential campaign. The Republican Party that is in your head is a fucking fantasy. The "Republicans" who are willing to get out in the streets, and I use that term loosely as most seem to be more drawn to Trump than the GOP, turn into gutless fucking cowards the moment somebody whips out a phone and starts tweeting their photos or live-streaming. All of the sudden, those brave "Republicans" in the streets start trying to tell everybody "That's not me, I swear, that's not who I am, I'm not a white supremacist, just ignore the tiki torch and the slogans I was chanting, because that's not who I am! PLEASE DON'T POST THIS I'LL LOSE MY JOB, LOOK I'M SHITTING MYSELF BECAUSE YOU'RE DESTROYING MY LIFE!!!" Many of the hardcore Republicans that are left aren't going to be engaging in any street battles anytime soon either, unless Rascal magics up some amazing new batteries for their scooters. If that had been Merrick Garland up there bawling his eyes out, you would have been laughing at the cucked libtard snowflake who needs his safe space. Instead, you pretend that's some kind of idealist rugged manly man that you look up to.

  3. "That question is irrelevant to the topic at hand and I see no reason why I should answer it one way or the other." Refusing to answer a question is completely different than flat out lying under oath. You know this. He was asked a question about which there was no reason to lie and he lied anyway (whether he watched Ford's testimony). That's because he's a liar. And pretending that the things he lied about are irrelevant to his testimony is silly at best, intellectually dishonest at worst. He lied about watching Ford's testimony which would speak directly to his understanding of the allegations against him. He lied about the meaning of Devil's Triangle which speaks directly to his behavior around the time of the allegation. He lied about the meaning of boofing which also speaks to his behavior around the time of the allegation. These are just three of his lies which are related to the allegations. Furthermore, he was still in front of the Judiciary Committee with respect to his nomination to the Supreme Court. Any question relative to that nomination is relevant. This is important because we have learned during the hearings that he lied during his past appearances when appointed to the bench over a decade ago. He lied about his involvement in other nominations. He lied about his having received leaked information. He lied about knowing it was leaked information. All of these lies were under oath and are acts of perjury. He repeatedly lied in a nationally televised interview about his behavior during his school years. While not perjury, this is clearly relevant to the allegations that his behavior during that time of his life was reckless and also allegedly included assaults during parties where drinking occurred. He is a repeated liar. Attempting to dance around that verifiable fact just makes you look bad.

  4. I dislike Beck the coordinator as much as the next fan, but all the jokes about him in a thread announcing that he's missing a game due hospitalization are as inappropriate as a slow developing stretch play on fourth and one against a fast but small tcu defense.

  5. So my 97 year old grandmother (she can still drive a golf cart slowly and cognitively all there still!) up in Sun City/Georgetown who has never voted Democratic in maybe 50+ years told me yesterday as the kids saw their great-grandmother that she was voting against Cruz because she thinks he looks like a rat.

  7. So apparently up until a year or so ago my wife thought the little urinal thing on the side of a porta potty was a shelf to set your phone on. She's been setting her phone on dirty urinal cakes for years while she pees at concerts and fairs and stuff...

  8. Everything. I hate progressive code words bs but only a white entitled douchebag like him could bitch, moan, cry about not being handed the position on a silver platter. No to mention, he hasn’t been treated like shit for his antics. You live in a fucking antiquated history will prove you wrong bubble, dude. Can you honestly say if she cried, yelled, cut off, and disrespected all the repub senators that all day long every right wing outlet would not be calling her unhinged, hysterical, emotional wreck, unfit to be a doctor/mother/etc? Only a white guy could go on there and cry like a punk ass bitch and be called “courageous, fighting back, what America is all about...” explore your mind bro, color and his white entitlement had EVERYTHING to do with it. Note: I realize I’m like 40 pages behind and other news has come to light, but work and what have you, so barely replying now...this thread moves fast

  9. Looks like the two women who confronted Flake at the elevator are the reason for the delay and FBI investigation. Incredible. And awesome.

  10. How this could have, and should have, gone better. 1. Feinstein notifies majority when she receives the accusation. 2. FBI immediately called in to investigate and update the BI. 3. Results of investigation provided to committee. 4. Closed door hearings with Ford and Kavanaugh and other witnesses if necessary. But no, not circusey enough.

  11. Told her I was going to take off work Friday, get up really early, and watch the ryder cup. I explained what the ryder cup is. Reminded her again yesterday. Again we talked about the rider cup, and how it's the US vs. Europe. She walks in the living room this morning as I'm telling Fleetwood to go fuck himself. She says "Is he the one from England? I like his accent." I say something about him needing to shove his stupid ass English accent up his stupid ass. She says "Why do you only root for US golfers. Its not like there's a team of US golfers out there." I just stare at her, she looks up as the screen is changing to show the graphic with the US and EU flags, then it hits her. "You're going to put this on that angry bevo thing aren't you?" God damn right.

  12. Were you this offended by the Senate's refusal to consider Garland's nomination? Did leaving an empty seat on the bench for 400 days bother you? Did it not sit right when the Senate didn't do their job that time?

  15. I will have lived in the best place and the best time to be an ordinary person. Never called to war. Never worried about want. Never short of sources of entertainment. The name of my generation and the ones to either side of it will be cursed aloud for as long as people remember us. We never knew hardship, so we never saw reason to prepare for hardship.

  18. I can understand that point of view, but here's where I woke up on things this morning: 1) I can't know for sure what happened between Kavanaugh and Ford, if anything. 2) I believed her. 3) Kavanaugh said two things yesterday I know for a fact to be false during the hearing that have nothing to do with sexual assault. 4) He is deeply rooted in the partisan-industrial complex. I've said elsewhere that if I was a Senator I would approach advise and consent from the standpoint that matters of philosophy and views on the constitution are within the prerogative of the executive doing the appointing, and I would approve or not on the basis of character, temperament and quality. Kavanaugh fails on those three, regardless of whether he assaulted Dr. Ford.

  22. Kavanaugh's appearance yesterday was a disaster. It screamed, "I'm not fit to be on the Supreme Court!" He launched into an unhinged rant, lied, cried and was disrespectful to Senators. And evasive. Eating up the 5-minute increments lauding the same accomplishments repeatedly. That alone disqualifies him from the office. Just as Trump's treasonous war on the govt to discredit a counter-intel investigation makes him unfit for the office of potus.

  27. Here's what seems readily apparent to me - if he didn't do this, he handled it all wrong yesterday. I do not want a guy spouting things about democratic conspiracies, etc. on the supreme court. He's a partisan hack that would make Scalia and Kagan blush. The main thing I took from yesterday is that this is a dude that doesn't seem fit to be a judge. Period. ALet him get a TV show or run for Congress. That's fine. But show some fucking magnanimity for god's sake. That little tirade on the front end was not judicial, dude.

  35. No, no it won't. It's just another kick the can down the street partisan shit show for an appointment that's supposed to be above that shit. Why doesn't Kavannaugh want the FBI to spend a few days to help clear his name ? IF he's innocent I'd think he'd wants any and every opportunity to prove it. He was not a very good witness everyone he was asked if he would like the FBI to look into the matter he side stepped the question. Regardless that this was brought forward at the 11th hour or not. My reputation is of utmost importance to me and any blemish, especially a false accusation, is unacceptable.

  36. The people you support are not conservatives. They have given that pretense up entirely and the people you mock because they "used to be Republicans", like a lot of the posters on this board, are simply people that are smart enough to see that their conservative values have been abandoned by charlatans like Ted Cruz who couldn't give the slightest shit about the interests of the people he represents. The rest of us just sit here and laugh while idiots like you suck the dick of a member of the NY elite who easily bamboozled your entire political party into crumpling up their "conservative values" and tossing them out the window for minor, short term power gains. It's actually pathetic how fucking beta and chickenshit you and others like you have become. Your own daughter probably secretly hates you. If she hasn't made her disgust known yet, don't be shocked when it happens or when she walks away when you impotently threaten to cut her off when she challenges your pussy ass political views.
