Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

So Fairfax just sent out this tweet:



Yes that's right, he's referring to his accuser as "evil" going against him and imploring people to rise together against his accuser.

Kavanaugh got angry that his wife and daughters were receiving death threats and far leftists couldn't scream fast enough "TEMPERAMENT NOT FIT FOR OFFICE!"

Fairfax calls his accuser evil and prays for people to rise up together against her and far left: " "

Where is screaming elevator woman?

Where is screaming elevator woman?

I first read your post as "Who is screaming elevator woman" and I had to read my post like half a dozen times to see if I had a typo or something.

Was screaming elevator woman the one who screamed at Jeff Flake when he entered an elevator or those two women who demanded a male politician apologize to their children for being a man and he told the kids their parents were using them as political props?

Flake/Kavanaugh thing. AOC also brought her to the SOTU.

She can only handle one crisis at a time and she's still reeling from Kavanaugh.

MSNBC or CNN, one of those, spoke to AOC and she was there and they asked her a question about the SOTU too. She bitched about Kavanaugh again and how it was wrong that he was allowed in, even though nothing was proven. So she should be all over this.

So apparently Dr Tyson told another Democrat Congressman, Bobby Scott, about the rape over a year ago, so it's not like she just suddenly decided to start telling people a week ago. This makes it all the more interesting.

I wonder if Democrats recognize or even care about the bad optics of this. I don't mean that the highest levels of Democrats in VA are rapists and racists, that's bad enough. But that when a white woman was accusing someone of rape a few months ago they all came out strongly in defense of the woman and made sure she was heard and that it was in the news 24/7 for months. When a black woman says she was raped they all but ignore or say they haven't heard anything about it.

I can only assume they don't care nearly as much because you're not looking at a lifetime appointment to arguably the most prestigious position within government.

I mean - I don't tend to care or follow what some random politician in North Dakota is up to.

It's not like either side, Republicans or Democrats has clean records when it comes to sexual assault. Shit - our president has been accused of sexual assault, paying off porn stars, etc.

Keep pushing that morale high ground tho.

Clearly that's the reason, that's like the entire point everyone on the right was making during the Kavanaugh fiasco. But from their perspective they just care about the #MeToo movement and that's why they cared, well if that's the case they should care equally about the rapist acting as Lt Gov in VA as well.

Keep pushing that morale high ground tho.

I will, thanks. When Democrats make up the rules that decades old allegations that pop up at the last minute means you should have your entire life and career ruined then you bet your ass I'm going to use the same logic when it comes to bite them in the ass. Don't act like Republicans were just sitting back saying "He's one of us so we don't care!" The argument by and large was mere accusations, especially ones that are 40+ years old that the accuser can't even remember important details about, shouldn't be enough to ruin someone's career and good name. Rather than Democrats saying "Hey, good point, let's have a discussion about this" they doubled down, shoved their fingers in their ears, and said Kavanaugh is a rapist and anyone who supports him is a rape apologist. Why the fuck shouldn't I throw this in their faces? They had plenty of time to wise up when it wasn't happening to them. But as per usual Democrats push a narrative for months then once it goes against them they want to say it's different this time.

Just look the black face bullshit. Just a few weeks ago a state rep in Florida, just a state rep not a US rep, was forced to resign because he wore black face in school. But now that photo evidence comes out that a governor was either wearing black face or dressed up in a KKK outfit we're all just supposed to ignore this? I'll give Democrats partial credit here, after initially giving Northam a pass most eventually came around and said he should resign, but there are still some out there who support him.

What's worse? Apathy about someone accused of rape. Or being great friends with a convicted pedophile? One where you state this:
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it–Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Some issues shouldn't be politicized. Neither side here has an upper ground. Both claim they have it. You can keep overlooking what the actions of the top Republican - but screaming about racism and shit doesn't work when the top Republican has a history of it.

Wait.. so your excuse for this type of behavior to Kavanaugh was "Well, the President has a history of it"?

I don't understand the logic here.
