Re: Kavanaugh hearing
What do you think we should properly call Trump supporters?
Trumparians?

Re: Kavanaugh hearing
It's accurate, though.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
Re: Kavanaugh hearing
Trump supporters would be called republicans or Trump supporters.
If you listen carefully, many people use other words to describe half their community.
Shit, Piss, Cock, Cunt, Motherfucker, Cocksucker and Tits.

Re: Kavanaugh hearing
There are plenty of reasonable grounds and legitimate bases on which to object to or oppose SCOTUS nominees. That doesn't mean that the tactics used with respect to the character assassination of Kavanaugh were legitimate. They were calling the guy "evil" incarnate before these allegations came out.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 2:33 pmWhile it seems there is now no reasonable grounds or legitimately basis on which to object to or oppose a Supreme Court nominee (how very dare they!), none of that really touches on the point that Mr Kavanaugh was/is partisan and clearly aligned with the GOP - well, other than to justify it of course.Forty Two wrote:Well, when the Democrat plan was to derail his nomination, come hell or high water, the truth was the truth - https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson ... s-n2522458Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 12:21 pmAs soon as he started a session by accusing Democrats of ruining his life he disqualified himself on partiality grounds, in my view.

If the Democrats were objecting based on partisanship, then they might have a point. However, that doesn't work to defeat a majority in the Senate. It used to, but the Democrats, when they had control of the Senate, got rid of the filibuster of SCOTUS nominees.
Kavanaugh would certainly not be my choice for a SCOTUS nominee, but my main concern is the notion that these kind of allegations can derail a candidacy. Imagine that kind of trump (no pun intend) card in the hands of a GOP minority trying to block a Democratic President's nominee.... we have to stop everything and have a full blown investigation because of 36 year old internally inconsistent, unverifiable allegations dropped like a bomb after hearings on the candidate were concluded....

Re: Kavanaugh hearing
Harry Reid got rid of the filibuster for lower court nominees. Mitch McConnell nuked it for the Gorsuch nomination.
Call it a bipartisan effort.

Re: Kavanaugh hearing
Who called Kavanaugh evil incarnate? Trump certainly called journalists evil for reporting on the allegations didn't he? Nonetheless, that still does not touch on the point that Mr Kavanaugh was/is partisan and clearly aligned with the GOP - well, other than to justify it some more that is.Forty Two wrote:There are plenty of reasonable grounds and legitimate bases on which to object to or oppose SCOTUS nominees.

Cory Booker did.

Got a source?
I'd be interested in seeing what context a politician would say something like that.

Re: Kavanaugh hearing
Forcing women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term is pretty fucking barbaric. I think "evil" is a fair word for that, provided you don't mean it in a supernatural sense.

Evil? What? Have you been drinking the kool-aid?
There's nothing evil about preventing the murder of a human being.
