Kavanaugh Confirmation

[InVOLuntary]

I honestly think that most are simply caught in their own confirmation bias. They're more inclined to believe the accusations because it fits their internal narrative. Happens on both sides in many scenarios. Sure, there are some pot-stirrers that are trying to ramp up the rhetoric, but I'm sure there are legit victims of sexual assault that saw themselves in Ford and are truly appalled by the prospect of the person she described being on SCOTUS. Now, I'm not saying he's guilty or that this wasn't a fiasco. I'm just saying not everyone who is critical of Kavanaugh is a liberal hooligan participating in a conspiracy.

There are 1000s in the media and in the general population that don't question the validity of Dr. Ford's account at all. That despite zero corroboration that there was even a party, not to mention a party in which both were present. Despite her own admission that she doesn't know how she got there, how she got home, where the party was, when the party was. Even her own witnesses say they don't have any memory of the event.

I ask all that believes this was appropriate, what if this was your dad, your son, your brother, what if they were in a similar situation, would you automatically believe the accuser? Assassinating a man's character over political differences is despicable. If the shoe was on the other foot I would be calling out the Republicans for the same stuff.

If I were a democrat I would be embarrassed at the underhanded scorched Earth politics of my party, same if it were a republican.

I had a similar experience while testifying for an HOA, and that was after I had moved out of the neighborhood 2 or 3 years prior. The HOA was suing someone for breaking rules, and the defendant named me as someone who had broken restrictions by having my garage at a 45 degree angle to the house, instead of a 90 or in the back.

The HOA attorney asked me to testify, which I did voluntarily. I had submitted plans to the developer, and had the garage approved due to the lay of the land. I had told the defendant that several years earlier, when she threatened to sue me for breaking restrictions. I directed her to call the developer who okayed the plan. From my understanding, she did just that, but still named me as a restriction breaker years later. I made her and her a-hole attorney look like fools after the lawyer called me a liar, etc. That kind of crap is why I will never live in an HOA again.

That's why I live slap dad in the middle of 50 acres. Just got out of my hot tub buck naked. No neighbors to offend.

So has CNN, WaPO, the NYT, and a host of others. Fox News is entertainment and a propaganda arm of the Republican party. Dump Hannity, Tucker, and all the other idiots off the network and I might consider taking them seriously.

Yep. You’ve gone potato

RBG doesn’t make it 6 years.
Breyer may not make it 6 years.
Clarence Thomas may decide to step down in four years if Trump is re-elected so he can ensure a conservative Replacement.

You could see Trump get five of his own judges on the SC.

Honest question, can you libs survive that emotionally?

So you haven't seen a conservative be combative in every thread on the board?

every thread has a combative liberal too - what on earth does that prove?

 

[BeecherVol]

Fox News is an entertainment network. Nothing more.

CNN isnt any better. Both are pushing their agenda 24/7

The Lord says that if we will turn from our sins, and pray..that He will heal our land.

What 700,000 abortions per year? More black children aborted in NYC than born? Whites and latinos no different?

I dont think it will ever happen, because i believe we are past it. " in the last days, there will be a great falling away..." i wont hold my breath. Praise God, and pass the ammo.

I will keep showing love to my fellow man, every chance i get. And protect mine with an iron fist and easy trigger finger.

I think it's over the cliff as well. Hope my children don't have to experience something really bad in their lives.

I was responding to a series of comments that conservatives were not combative. They are, so are liberals.

but wasn't your premise that conservatives don't like NPR because they are combative? Why then would liberals given they are combative?

I agree. The only time I watch CNN is for breaking news stuff. Otherwise, yes, CNN is a center-left platform. Fox News is a propaganda wing of the GOP. Far better news sites out there aside from those two.

There are combative liberals in the board's threads. I was responding to your post.

I'm completely confused.

You are close but your left leaning side is showing , no way in hell CNN is center anything but in the center of the left wing .

CNN is “center-left”?

All I was saying is that NPR doesn't fit the conservative news style of being combative. Poster said "conservatives are combative, haha." I said look at every thread on VN. Other poster called me an insane potato.

Yes but if liberals too are combative (which you said) why would being combative be a reason conservatives don't like NPR but liberals do?

They used to be. Back when Tucker Carlson was on Crossfire

If you think CNN is far left wing, well then you don't know left wing politics. lol

 

[0nelilreb]

Oh I know left wing progressive politics and socialist agendas , we see it everyday now . If you think CNN is center left somebody lied to you on where the center is or use to be .

Edit: to clarify , I said in the center of the left wing . You have a center that’s neutral , you have a right wing ( conservative ) then you have left wing ( liberals ) CNN is not center left lol

 

[volinbham]

Personally I think center left news outlets are so anti-Trump that they appear more left than they used to. Maybe when Trump is gone they'll revert but it's so good for their business that it's probably the new normal.
