This Vicious Buffoon Is a Vessel for All the Worst Elements of the American Condition
Donald Trump, American president*, disgraces his office once more.
Excerpt:
And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators. Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House.
The scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend. A vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition. And a cheap, soulless bully besides.

I understand the outrage behind a Supreme Court nominee lying in front of the senate about his college drinking habits. But shouldn't Ford's attempted rape accusation still be the priority until Kavanaugh is acquitted or convicted?
Is the sexual assault on an individual the lesser evil or is a woman's accusation no longer relevant?- We're taking callers!soundofreason
- Sounds like reason to mefadein11
- He didn't just lie about drinking, he lied re: Miranda and other elements of his earlier testimonies. The other outrage is the Repub refusal to let his Bush-eraallthethings
- documents be seen. The whole thing is a sham.allthethings
- Kav understated but he did not lie. Dems played politics horribly, if he's not confirmed payback will be painful in Nov.robotron3k

It's all clear now that the FBI report has been leaked

If Kavanaugh did assult her, his nomination should be withdrawn and he should be persecuted for sexual assult.
If Ford lied, she should be persecuted for libel.
One or the other should happen. That would be justice.
However, as the story unfolds before the public eye, neither one is happening. This is absolutely f*cked!
- Until any witnesses show up, Fords statements are going to be considered delusional.robotron3k
- Yes, of course. That's part of this absolute nonsense!chukkaphob
- Why would her statements seem 'delusional'? Kavanaugh lied throughout his testimony. I'd give her the edge in believability.mathinc
- Only assholes think the claims are delusional.monospaced
- The claims against him are that he drank a LOT, and that he sexually abused / took advantage of women, right? Plenty of ex-classmates corroborated the drinking.mathinc
- And his yearbooks mostly corroborate the womanizing.. 'devils triangle', 'boffing' 'renata alumnis' are all references to sex. <- all of which he lied about.mathinc
- @mathinc what did Kavanaugh lie about?chukkaphob
- The womanizing stuff on its face is fairly normal. But did he take it too far (?), is the question. The existing investigation didn't give us answers.mathinc
- Did he lie about consequential topics, though? Yes, he did. The claims of Ford lying are for inconsequential things like remembering details, and does ...mathinc
- she fly on planes. Silly shit. Well congrats Rs, looks like you're going to have a SCOTUS seat that will energize Ds for a long ass time.mathinc
- @mono were you there? cause everyone else who was supposedly there deny her story. Until we hear otherwise she is delusional. Need HARD facts and there are NONEchukkaphob
- No one 'denied' her story. No. One. People said they didn't see it happen.. but that's a very different thing than 'denying her story'.mathinc
- ^ other than Judge.. he denied it happened. But here let me put on my surprise face.mathinc
- I am making no such claim. I’m just saying that assholes are immediately claiming she’s lying.monospaced
- @mathinc he NEVER lied about any of this. He admitted to drinking. And the yearbook stuff is no grounds for dismisal from becoming a Justice.chukkaphob
- Also, where is Kavanaugh's lie detector results? Ford has one. Get fucked. You guys got on board with Trump, Roy Mooore, and now this clown.mathinc
- I personally believe she’s being honest. It happens to most women. There’s no way to prove it either way. That is where we agree.monospaced
- Maybe you need to just start acknowledging that you don't give a fuck about women being assaulted and raped?mathinc
- @mathinc the sexual assault he's been accused of has not been proven in ANY way and the event altogether has been denied by 4 witnesses.chukkaphob
- They were with her the whole time? Or they were at the party and didn't see anything? You do see how those two things are different.mathinc
- @mathinc of course I care and this is why the truth needs to come out! if Kavanaugh indeed DID assault her he should be persecuted (just as I stated in my post)chukkaphob
- Up above you said ' the yearbook things aren't reason for dismissal'.. we're not talking about that. We're talking about 'believability'. He lied.mathinc
- @mono rape happens, and so do lies ;-) I am not standing by one or the other until there are solid HARD facts/proofs.chukkaphob
- You agreed that until hard evidence comes out, then she's delusional. She has a lie detector test, she didn't lie during the hearings. He did. So why would shemathinc
- be delusional? We don't have hard evidence, so you have to look at the other things we DO know to form judgement.mathinc
- @mathinc not a single person out of the 4 can back up her story. Even SHE doesn't remember where or when it took place...chukkaphob
- ...and has no idea how she goot there or how she left.chukkaphob
- It's not unusual for a sexual assault victim to not remember certain things. This isn't proof that it didn't happen.mathinc
- ever since the Innocence Project started collecting data on falsely incriminated people that are exonerated due to advancements in DNA...Gnash
- ... their data show that eyewitness misidentification played a role in 70% of known false imprisonmentsGnash
- I like how you went from '4 witnesses DENY her story'.. to '4 witnesses can't BACK UP her story'...mathinc
- the witnesses just said that they had zero recollection of any party like the one she described.Gnash
- one of them said that she had never met or known KavGnash
- Which, she very well could be misremembering all the people there. Why did he lie repeatedly though? Dude tried to explain how Devil's Triangle was played.mathinc
- Said Boofing was farting even though we all know it means 'fucking'. This is all in addition to lying re judge stuff in the first hearings. Stolen emails, etc.mathinc
- i guess he must be thoroughly embarrassed about being a frat-boy, douche bag.Gnash
- there was no proof that Kav knew the emails were stolen (it's not likely that he didn't know, but that's not the point)Gnash
- If it wasn't for Feinstein the Dems might of had a chance, but nooo they so corrupt it hurts.robotron3k

- however this plays out i don't see either one of them being prosecuted in any way, and that's pretty fucked up.renderedred
- Ford got drunk off one beer at the age of 15, the rest is herstory...robotron3k
- The polygraph test was conducted by her lawyer.
Q "have you evr been to a party"
A: "yes"
Q: "Did you have 1 beer?"
A: "yes"chukkaphob - Also, she lied to the senate that she never helped anyone prepare for a polygraph test. She has done that.chukkaphob
- She's a psychiatrist who knows how to "pass" a lie detector test.chukkaphob
- She lied about fear of flying.chukkaphob
- She lived in a 500 sq foot home for a loooong time , although she claimed she was claustrophobic becasue of the alleged assult.chukkaphob
- She's a far left dem who suggested a year ago someone should come forward and accuse of rape then nominee Neil Gorsuchchukkaphob
- She wrote the letter to Feinstein with the help of her ex-FBI dem friend Monica McLean...chukkaphob
- .....who also witnessed tempered with Leland Keyser pressing her to change her story and say she was at the party.chukkaphob
- Christine Ford lied and fabricated the story, as far as Kavanaugh being there. I believe she was assulted, but not by him. She just attached the assult onto himchukkaphob
- She absolutely never suggested someone accuse gorsuch of rape. That’s a verified false rumor.monospaced
- She’s a psychologist, not a psychiatrist. There’s no proof at all she helped anyone with a poly. Just another rumor from the right.monospaced

The FBI is a corrupt, deep state organization run by the Democrats except when it's investigating Brett Kavanaugh, then they run the most thorough investigation they can and should not be questioned.
FBI: Can anyone corroborate these allegations?
** 50 hands go up **
FBI: No? No one?- quick put on your tinfoil hat.monospaced
- Lol, but the Russians, her emails, FBI, CIA, his millions, pee pee tapes, 1 beer!, arrrgh!!!!robotron3k
- exactly robo, just a long list of bullshit conservative conspiracy theories, all because they can't deal with realitymonospaced
- The Russian ties are very real, her emails aren't an issue, the FBI and CIA aren't deep state, the pee pee tapes don't exist, and Brett most likely is guiltymonospaced

- How is there no evidence when he clearly lied repeatedly live on TV?yuekit
- The guy even went so far as to invent a fake drinking game to make himself look better.yuekit
- Of course it's very difficult if not impossible to prove assault allegations from 30 years ago. But the guy's partisan hackery and willingness to lie combinedyuekit
- with the allegations from multiple people are going to delegitimize the Supreme Court in the eyes of a lot of people.yuekit
- I suspect that if Republicans could wave a wand and swap him out with someone else they would. But it's logistically too difficult at this point.yuekit
- Agree with the above, but without any actual proof of the ford incident, there's just no way anything will actually come of it. Republicans close ranks in...ben_
- times like this, Democrats not so much.ben_
- https://pbs.twimg.co…Gnash
- https://www.national…Gnash
- but i agree that at this point the water is so dirty that it will foul integrity of he judiciary.Gnash
- looks like this will be the new tactic to oppose appointments moving forward. the circus just got another tent.Gnash
- Gnash do you seriously believe these "alternative definitions"? Of course the whole thing is silly but it seems obvious to me that he did lie.yuekit
- The genius of the FBI report is that both sides can claim to make an impartial vote based on that document. Thus, maintaining the illusion of objectivity.soundofreason
- sexual assault allegations aside, the way he handled himself in the hearing would be enough for me to turn him away.kirshar12
- If a Supreme Court nominee can't keep his cool any better than that, he doesn't have what it takes to be on the court.kirshar12
- Then heap upon that the potential perjury and sexual assault allegations...kirshar12
- he has 12 years of judicial history on the record for all to see and review and judge his temperamentGnash
- none of the clerks who have ever worked for him have said anything neg about his temperament, in fact they say the opposite.Gnash
- for me, his leanings on Roe v wade are enough to vote no - that's all I need. The rest of the screeching is bullshitGnash
- His temperament is right there on camera in the hearings. He alternated between ranting about liberals out to get him, breaking down crying, and lying aboutyuekit
- random shit from high school that would make him look bad.yuekit
- Also this guy was his mentor:
https://www.theguard…yuekit - You have to read between the lines a little bit. Of course elites are going to back up other people within the same circles, particularly when they haveyuekit
- something to gain from it.yuekit
- well, Gnash, he blew up his 12 years of good temperament when he opened his testimony with the rant he gave. He threw out any notion of impartiality for himselfkirshar12
- I'm not saying both Dems and Repubs didn't do bad things here. They certainly did. Just that Kavanaugh chose very poorly on how to handle himself.....kirshar12
- And, if you can't be honest about your past (drinking in high school and college) when asked, that erodes your credibility...kirshar12

- How is she evil, and why do you feel she represents all democrats?monospaced
- Save your questions, mono. You'll never get a thoughtful, articulate, factual answer out of this window-licker.Continuity
- I think robo has a real hard time looking in the mirror. Talking about evil because why.. a Democrat kept a source secret who wanted to be secret. Such evil.mathinc
- Honestly there is no sense in even engaging this assclown. His world is black, mine is white.. er.. actually, his is probably white, mine is black.mathinc
- Evil is an administration that let 3k Americans die and calls it a 'good job'.mathinc
- I find it fascinating that conservatives like to talk about the concept of evil. Is this a symptom of their christian concept of god and the devil? So childish.monospaced
- Evil is a party who sells out the middle class to give the well off some extra boat cash - in the name of 'more jobs' when unemployment is at hist. lows.mathinc
- Evil is an administration who allows racists to come out into the light.mathinc
- What would have normally upset conservatives (sexual assault, infidelity, pedophilia, etc), are now qualities they defend on party lines. It's insane.monospaced
- Trust me robo, your party is on the back nine. If they don't go full dictator.. this is their last romp through the woods.mathinc
- Feinstein is very incompetent. Srsly. The Dems style is leak to press: the dossier; Trump tapes; Trump family taxes, Ford letter... you cant win like this.robotron3k
- LOL.. and withholding a legit report on Russian action, withholding taxes, withholding accuser statements IS the way to win. How fucked up are you?mathinc
- JazX, you've been a man without morals for shit, the whole time I've been here. I guess it shouldn't surprise anyone. Just amazing how sad your life must be.mathinc
- Feinstein didn't leak a dossier, trump tapes or his taxes, the Ford letter or Trump's taxes to the press, though. None of those are evil either.monospaced
- Trump should be releasing his own taxes to the public, like every other president. He should also stop lying about his illegal business operations.monospaced

Hide your daughter, hide your wife... Creepy Uncle Joe is coming at you in 2020
One month before the 2020 presidential primary begins in earnest, Biden continues to lead in early polls. He is ramping up his schedule of midterm campaign appearances and, perhaps more significantly, meeting with donors.
This week, before appearing at a rally here Thursday for several House candidates, the former vice president raised money for his American Possibilities PAC at two fundraisers in the Los Angeles area.
The host of the first event, film studio executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, was critical to then-Sen. Barack Obama’s fundraising success in the 2008 presidential primary. And while Katzenberg has met with many prospective 2020 candidates, Biden’s appearance in Beverly Hills served as a reminder of the connections he still can tap into.
