Are Luther's posts justified or unjustified because it's reached the point where I feel like he's bashing me in the head with a rock?

He's literally refusing to read the arguments he's debating against, claiming his arguments have been unanswered and unassailed, claiming the debate was about something else entirely, even though the original definition has been repeatedly quoted for him, and then proving himself too dull to grasp what's been clearly and patiently explained to him.

Basically it's just like any other time he's tried to debate anyone else on here.

Rush Limbaugh speaking about Dr. Ford and her coterie: “These people are Leftwing Activists”

Seems pretty obvious does it not?

No way. The optics would be horrible.

The FBI, as far as I know, cannot subpoena evidence. Even then, there is none to subpoena. All they are obliged to do is take statements, which will be a regurgitation of the circus from last week, only in a less public setting.

With that said, this could’ve been wrapped up by 12:00 ET today, notwithstanding the optics.

The fact that the Democrats have shifted to the "heavy drinking" narrative IMO demonstrates that even they know that Kavanaugh was a very credible witness.

I don't think either Ford or Kavanaugh were credible witnesses. There are serious discrepancies in her story, and the timing is suspect to say the least. And his demeanor during the hearing Thursday didn't do him any favors. He would have thrown out someone in his court that conducted themselves in such a terrible manner.

With that said, that doesn't disqualify him imo. I don't see proof, just he said, she said with wildly different witness statements. Can't convict a person on that alone.

Also, I don't think it matters that he liked to drink, still likes to drink, whatever. As long as he doesn't throw up on RBG during court, his former or current drinking habits shouldn't matter.

I think he gets confirmed on strict party lines (with the addition of Manchin maybe). But who knows, this entire process has been a Butch Jones' level circus.

The permit shows that she added a bedroom, and bathroom also for a total of around $150k. There are several people that have registered their mail to the address. If you're so concerned about security in your home do you take on a boarder?

So Ford and her husband took on boarders? Would that not suggest financial issues? Why else would you invite strangers to live in your home? Makes you wonder how much she may need that GoFundMe money?

Not that financial motives would be a reason to lie or anything.

Real estate there is at a premium. If they had the $150 k for the addition, I don't think financial distress was as likely as the ability to make money.

It feels more like a foot massage to me.

I would go as far as saying, in the event you found yourself in a position where the only possible way to stop a terrorist attack that would kill 100's was to willfully slander one of the terrorist, the ends would justify the means and God's will and word would be fully accepting.

Ah! Now we see the difference, and the admission of your ethic!

Slander is the act of damaging a person's reputation via false statements.

Thous shalt not bear false witness. It doesn't say, "unless you convince yourself of a greater good, or can come up with a really good reason."

Your fluid ethic embraces immorality if you perceive it as useful. Mine defines evil as evil and doesn't feel that we can improve the world by bringing more into it. My ethic says that if I have to become evil to stop evil, I don't trade my integrity for the bargain. So I trust the providence of God where my integrity leaves me helpless.

Your integrity is relative to your desired end result. Well, so is Trump's. You rightly call him immoral and a monster, yet your admissions make you the same. You are the monster in the mirror. Your integrity is for sell. You embrace immorality for the convenience it can provide.

Thank for the admission. Good day.

I think society on the whole benefits from hearing both sides of a controversy.

Unfortunately, this one has happened so abruptly and acutely that both sides have extremists taking their own pot shots, while the other side unfairly paints the extreme position a representative of the entire other side.

Example 1: the right portrays the entire left as exemplified by the extreme rhetoric of this Georgetown professor, cited above.

Example 2: the left portrays the entire right as exemplified by old comments by Trump Jr. dismissive of sexual assault, or a candidate who says even if true it should not matter.

It is aided by the respective media outlets that promote this stuff. You see the extreme of the right blasted on MSNBC as representative of the entire right. You see the extreme of the left blasted on Fox as representative of the entire left.

The fact is that neither the larger groups we might call left or right has such extreme views as ascribed to them by the other side. But that just the way things have become when we try to have a debate in this country.

If Trump were assassinated, would the left celebrate?

Note to Mr.FBI, NSA, or whichever government agency may be monitoring, I am NOT advocating this, just simply asking a question. Please do not show up at my door.

They would until they realize that President Pence is more conservative and more deliberative without the character flaws of Trump. He'll be difficult to vilify.

Nah they’d seamlessly move on to him. Wants to make the Handmaids Tale real life and burn homosexuals at the stake.

This is just as absurd as asking if the right would have celebrated if the same happened to Obama.
It would result in utter chaos and further intrusions into privacy and civil liberties. I
think violence among the more extreme wings of the parties wouldn't be out of the question either. I'd much rather Trump have his two terms than for **** to hit the fan.
