yeah, the whole "he's angry so they shouldnt vote him in just for that narrative" was always ridiculous. as a judge you aspire to be a SCOTUS judge just like every kid playing basketball wants to be Michael Jordan. you read famous cases from legendary courts for several decades while trying to get anywhere near that level. then when you get nominated a bunch of people call you a rapist on national TV and make you read passages from your journal while talking down to you. many of them having next to no qualifications for their position other than elect-ability. i'd be pissed as hell too.

he had quite the fortitude to get through that mess of a gauntlet that a bunch of drains on the taxpayer and their former leading (D) candidate for President (avenatti) put him through.

Trump and Kavanaugh emerged victorious and now the rules of engagement have been set by the privileged lefties who cannot think beyond one step ahead of their turned-up noses.

and still the go to leftist narrative is "he was proven to have lied XX times under oath". then when i ask them which lies are most compelling to them they reference (but dont actually link) some random article by Wapo, or worse yet say one of the "lies" that wasn't even related to the rape in question.

when we boil down the Kav hearing it was he either can be proven to have raped someone (and therefore shouldnt get voted in) or he can't, and presumption of innocence means he gets voted in.

so supposed lies about unrelated things drawn from a journal/schedule he had to submit in some attempt to clear himself from guilt are poppycock.

i still remember the whole "boofing" thing, that was in articles as a lie. they said it was proof he did hard drugs and therefore might not even remember raping Ford. he said it was what he called farts, and i laughed because that's what my dad called farts my whole childhood. i must have heard "did u boof in here" a hundred times as a kid. but no, in Wapo its proof he's a hard drug user.

lmao that’s the angle they went with. “teenage underaged boys are capable of organizing “gang-rapes with drugs” on adults, and by no means do they ever make dumb fart jokes”

and if you dare call them #fakenews or even question their motives then authority-worshipping anti-americans will accuse you of “hating democracy” lmao

imagine being too stupid to distinguish between proving someone guilty of a crime, and proving someone is entirely unsuited for a certain position. imagine having to strawman the fuck out of one, even though the other side never even set out to do that (statute of limitations, moron), in order to ignore the obvious evidence of the other.

on a completely unrelated note, those 'post blockers' really aren't what they used to be - not that i ever bought it anyway...

What a run Avenatti had. daily CNN spots during the Stormy days then seemed to represent a credible gang rape victim. then Stormy drops him like a hot potato, his witness get's torn to shreds, her sources call her an opportunist liar, and he ends up disbarred and in jail. that bald fuck went from hero to zero real quick.

he was running from personal financial ruin and for a while there he was making all the right moves. he reached way too far too fast with those ridiculous hail mary of spirit bombs - a little patience and he may have been on the (D) debate stage. he had cnn eating out of the palm of his hands in no time flat at the onset

should have cut a check to stormy asap when she got mad. he went from empowering women to stealing from them. should have done her work pro bono and cashed CNN checks while writing a book or shopping a show idea.

I just don't understand this mentality and it seems like you've drank the Bernie Kool-Aid. For you to come to some of these conclusions indicates that you haven't done some very basic research which is why Thor called you lazy. The way you talk about Biden indicates that you're informed by 30 second YouTube clips as opposed to actual journalists. What is your response to the 60+ women who worked with Biden and were interviewed? What is your response to being no pattern of sexual assault in his entire career? What is your response to the numerous holes in Reade's story? If you have good reason to believe her, that's fine and I can respect it. However, it seems suspiciously lazy.

What is your response to AOC being on Biden's climate change policy? What is your response his policy plans that he's outlined on his website? You see, Biden is doing A LOT to earn the progressive vote. I just get the feeling that it's all falling on deaf ears. It's okay though, he doesn't need your vote and you can get that awesome feeling that comes with throwing your vote away because you don't live in a swing state. I actually think it's a mistake to bring on moronic demagogues like AOC into his campaign but that's up to him.

A progressive wouldn't say things like "oh, I'll make a lot of $ under a GOP administration" and then say "oh well the poor will get screwed anyway."

"Biden = rapists" memes are poisoning the well for Bernie voters. not surprising for a group so ill-informed generally. any group of people not just willing, but wanting, to vote in a 4-8 year lame duck is doomed from the jump. they think of candidates like a fedora, it just needs to make a statement.
