Not sure where to put it, but guilty verdict handed down in the laquon McDonald case. I’m pretty shocked by that lol wonder if it’s just because they didn’t want Chicago to burn to the ground?

i hadnt  seen the dash cam until today, Seems like a fair verdict imo. Several cops realized you didn’t have to shoot and one executed him.

The media meltdown currently is something to behold. Tomorrow might break twitter. 

As for the Chicago thing, I read about it a few months ago and then today when they were trying to protect all the businesses, but 16 shots seems excessive when no one else shot. Hard to find many neutral articles on it.

Random thought #1: When you break it down to its actual core, a huge percentage of this fight is over abortion. Am I a horrible person if I believe there are many other equally or (gasp) more important issues?

Random thought #2: Can you claim to be a proponent of democracy if your reaction to being on the losing side involves harassment and violence?

1) I have no idea why the libs live and die by abortion. It will never be “illegal”. Ultimate identity politics topic. Not a woman, you have no say.

2) They aren’t proponents of democracy. Remember when the press was all over the tea party “protests”? These whiny bitch protests now put those to shame.

Both parties are equally deplorable imo. The gop spent 8 years making sure nothing could get done by Obama and shutting down the govt. Obama couldn’t even get to the nomination process. Our govt sadly is broken

While I agree DC sucks....Obama was outside the comfort zone with most.  He was surely a radical idealog

When is the actual vote? Calling people who confirm Kav “pro-rape” is how you get Trump. 

Btw the FBI did interview a bunch of people around the Ramirez allegation (which was a nothing burger anyway) and found 0 evidence. A popular dem talking point is that they didn’t look into it at all.

I'm seeing tweets such as the one below all over the place today. I've left out the name:

Kavanaugh's all but certain confirmation as a Supreme Court Justice is only further proof of the corruption that permeates the United States' government. Covering Donald Trump's ass has become a higher priority to our Senators than liberty and justice.

Which makes me think that at least part of this resistance is because it's a Trump nomination and not Kavanaugh's credentials as a judge or knowledge of the Constitution.

At least? C’mon, 95% don’t care about his actual credentials. 

Just reported that Ford does not plan on perusing anything more against Kavanaugh legally. Shocker

I think Lindsey Graham is a turd, but this dub over some crazy lady yelling at him yesterday is pretty great. He could not have cared any less, the tie straighten really brought the whole thing together.

Some guy did a dub of like 50 songs. It’s hilarious. I never liked Graham here, but after the last month I’ll vote for him every time.

The screaming banshees during roll call.  They sounded completely deranged.  What sane person thinks this wins any reasonable person over  I hope they get the mental help they desperately need..

I'd still never vote for him, but I did enjoy that interaction.

This battle will be the hill the dems die on.  Their supporters, tactics and the media all look really bad.  The DEM playbook is empty.  Their bench of candidates on 2020 all got owned.  Booker, Harris and Avennati....

Seriously.

hard to take these protestors seriously when they are an actual, living meme yelling "Shame!  Shame!"

If anyone needs a good laugh this morning. You don’t see people on the right doing this. Such crybaby pussies.

Was reading the comments below it, saw the one that said "Shaka .... When the walls fell".  Had to look that one up, didn't know it was a STNG reference, which yielded this interesting Jeopardy moment from last year:

Welp. I was wrong on Kavanaugh. The Democrats really blew this by trying to think they had some golden nugget to torpedo the nomination instead of doing the right thing and sharing the information they received with the Republicans on the committee at the outset.

That's ok. I was wrong about Hillary/Trump!

This is not what social justice looks like. This is what an unreasoned mind looks like.
