Oh No! Is Joe getting Kavanaughed?

[DougBH]

Its not that if someone brings this up about Biden, his supporters can’t counter “but what about Trump”, the problem for Biden is that now if someone brings up Trump’s history, his supporters can say “but what about Biden.”

What about Trump? They have talked about Trump for three years. Are we not allowed to talk about Biden too?

@Samm

Yes. There was zero doubt before the “eleventh hour smear” that he was going to be confirmed. The smear was launched solely to try to upset that certainty.

It was meant to move him from the right, and it worked.

You folks must have missed the memo. Accusations of sexual harassment and even assault are no longer disqualifying conditions for the presidency. Haven’t been since 1992. Weren’t in 2016, that’s for sure.

Go back to insults about stuttering.

Only republican candidates, right?

“I don’t remember certain aspects of the assault”

But she did remember the fingers. She’s either lying about that or she is not. No gray area. Should this be treated differently than the Kav situation? If so why?

I think all the libs on this board are saying it should be followed up on. Unlike like you Kavanaugh supporters.

But it won’t be. Dems won’t let it.

@Eagle-Keeper

What exactly should anyone here specifically care about regarding nearly a 30 year old allegation? I have no idea whether it’s true or not. Furthermore what exactly does one do to demonstrate that they actually care?

Ask questions. Cross examine.

In public like Kavanagh?

You think cheating on your wife, pregnant or not, is equivalent to sexual assault?
[/quote]

At this point. there’s WAYYY more evidence of the former. Like, three marriages worth.

hey remember when everyone listened and laughed about that when he was on howard stern ?

Maybe you did.

Hey remember when Republicans thought Bill Clinton cheating on his wife was a bad thing?

Do you remember democrats saying it was a personal thing between him and his wife? Or did you forget that?

@Phaedrus

Well, you clearly missed the point. Probably a faulty inference on your part.

The point is and always has been that the action referred to as “Kavanaughed” takes place before the person it is aimed at takes the position they are potentially in line for has succeeded in achieving that position. It is entirely a tactic meant to try to derail their chances of getting the position. Why you refuse to accept that common truth is baffling.

There is no evidence that he has moved in either direction as a result of the smearing.

Yes, I was referring to George HW Bush’s “bimbo eruptions” in 1992.

Does it count as “Kavanaughing” if there was never a chance it would “derail their chances of getting the position”? Does it really?

You are easily baffled.

It just a little more interesting. It seems that Joe’s campaign bought off the # me too movement with a $ 806,000 check.

Just because it failed does not mean that the intention was not there. It was clear that the Democrats, knowing that confirmation was essentially inevitable, played the nuclear card in pure desperation in a last ditch effort to derail the appointment. Your persistence in denying this is pathetic.

Interesting if true. I don’t put a lot of stock in Breitbart.

Yep, as long as you can tell his 9 year-old daughter he’s a rapist.

Trumped picked him based on the Federalist Society. All you have to do is look at who is protecting him. He’s under threat of impeachment. Roberts is keeping him in line.

Compare him to Goresuch.

Sorry, but there is no threat of impeachment.

And Presidents are very frequently disappointed that their choices don’t prove to be as ideologically predictable as they thought. Just look at Roberts …
