From the quotes I read it seems as if she was just convinced, based on her vast experience with sexual assault victims and their accused, that Ford was telling the truth. She knew it was politically unwise to vote against K but she voted her conscious anyway, shame on her.

If you actually watched it, she sounded like an idiot. Either that or she was lying out her azz.

I

I have worked constantly on my meager home for 12 years, 99% of the time completely by myself. I dont mean laying a little tile, i mean i shingled my roof...tore off and replaced all my siding, insulated the whole crawl and attic solo...with 2 spine surgeries mixed in just for fun. Have about 50k in sweat equity. I hope to cash that in sometime in 19 and put most of it down on a new one. If i have to pay taxes on that, i might just hang it up. Why the hell would uncle sam be entitiled to my sweat and blood at home when i already give him 30% of my hard earned money?

This is why libs are retarded.

You are a greedy, wealthy investment class, privileged man. How dare you seek to not give your fair share.

IkR...my house is 1460 sf...was built in 1916, a 2 story millhouse. I bought it run down as hell for 67k when we finally scraped up a down payment, with my wife as a stay at home mom taking care of my kids. They say 7% of households have a stay at home mom these days. Rich folks i am sure. We did it when i was a foremen laying brick 55 to 60 hours a week and working sidejobs at night...sometimes ibwouldnt see my wife and kids awake for a week at a time bc i left at 5am and got home at 10 pm or later. We did it though, the hard way, but we did it. Praise God, my oldest is still way out in front for valedictorian and will be looking at schollies...after i spent 70k on each kid to get them thru 13 years of Christian school. My daughter isnt quite as strong academically, but she will still be top 10 in her class if she keeps it up, and is taking piano lessons at church instead of playing sports now. She beams when she gets to play a new song she has learned in front of the church as the offertory. I have failed more times than i can count in life, and done many things i am not proud of. God has been better to me than i have ever deserved though, and given me 2 kids that we promptly gave right back to Him...knowing we were unworthy of them. If i drop dead the day my youngest finishes college, i have been more blessed than i could have ever hoped for. I didnt even finish HS, got my GED at 16 and was already working construction fulltime. Moved out of my parents home at 16 also.

Oh..and uncle sam better keep his filthy mitts out of my house. I pay way more taxes than i ever should, and it makes me sick.

Nope, doesn't bother me at all. I don't have any issue with a woman controlling their own body. You fail to miss the point. I don't tell anyone to do anything. It is their choice. Death penalty is not a choice.

Ummm, you want to think again on this little tid-bit?

I bought an old home and fixed it up and I'm gonna sell it and make a minimum $100k after all is said and done which ain't too shabby. The lesson I have learned is buy a brand new house that needs no work and that is exactly what I am going to do next!

Not too sure about that. When you commit a murder you have consciously chosen to most likely die in prison.

Can someone link a video/audio of one of Dr Fords lectures to her students? I would love to compare her speaking voice then and now. I've searched the interwebs to no avail.
Surely there's something available, I mean it's not like her history was scrubbed, right? ;)

That's my point. The wealthy investment class has paid for ways to shield income from taxation, depending on where it comes from.

not just the wealthy. It is happening a bunch here in atlanta. Poor, largely black, neighborhoods are suddenly finding their houses to be worth a lot more than they were. Many can't afford to sell the properties because of the taxes, the city waves some of its taxes on it, but state/federal doesn't. for some selling their now expensive home should be a way out of debt and a good/great foundation to build on. but if they owe money on it (a lot do)those taxes are killers.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/08/politics/cnn-poll-kavanaugh-confirmation/index.html

Overall, 51% in the poll oppose Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court, up from 39% who opposed it in early September, after his initial confirmation hearing but before accusations of sexual misconduct emerged. Support for Kavanaugh's confirmation has merely inched up, by contrast, from 38% backing him in early September to 41% now.

The public's take on Kavanaugh is much more negative than it was in early August, not long after President Donald Trump nominated him to fill the seat being vacated by Anthony Kennedy. Back then, 33% viewed him positively and 29% had a negative take. Now, nearly half have a negative view (47%) while 35% have a positive take.

Among women, 53% now have a negative view, up from 33% in August. Men split evenly, 41% positive to 41% negative, but that's still an increase in negative impressions compared with a 40% positive to 25% negative divide in August.

Too bad. He's still your Supreme Court Justice.

So because the baby can't speak for itself, your ok with killing it, but just because a likely murderer can speak and can say please don't kill me, we should honor their wishes? The liberal mind is really something.

What if it's not the same job.

Should a guy investing in real estate, whose investment home appreciates $100,000 pay the same on that as the guy who makes $100,000 day trading in REITs, and the same as the guy who was paid $100,000 to paint the house?

No because the guy that is investing is putting his money at risk. The house painter is not.

All of Brett Kavanaugh’s Classmates Who Have Accused Him of Lying

A few quotes from the article for those to lazy to read:


"a characterization that a mounting number of his classmates are calling inaccurate."


"But many of those latter classmates — who explicitly stated they were willing to cooperate with the FBI — were never contacted by the bureau, bringing into question the scope of the investigation, and whose interests it sought to protect. "

"Below, a list of every one of Kavanaugh’s former classmates who have called out his lies. "

Chad Ludington, a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh’s who claims they frequently drank together, said .....

Lynne Brookes — the former roommate of Deborah Ramirez, who accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a Yale party — asserted she was “extremely disappointed” in the judge’s “blatant lying.” She said: ....

Kit Winter..........
