Yeah... you keep believing what you want.

Like I said, he had no problem lying about anything that he knew could not be verified.

You think "Renate Alumni" (Renate was the name of a girl at their school) was REALLY just a reference to their "respect and friendship"?

Most people do stupid things in college (or high school). I did stupid things as well. I have been blackout drunk. I have overindulged in alcohol over spring break and "ralphed". I have said misogynistic things about girls I knew to my friends.

I do not believe that is disqualifying for being on the Supreme Court. But lying under oath is. Even if it is a lie that can't be "proven". Maybe a couple of his "explanations" might be true, but that ALL of them are strains credulity.

Maybe you are really that straight laced that you have never been in that type of environment. And sheltered enough that you never had friends like that.

But I can tell you... He is a liar.

And Republicans are perfectly fine with that.

He cheats at golf and he cheats on his wives.

So, typical Republican.

Frozen chocolate dessert makes more sense though.

No... that one is if they shart icicles.

Sorry. Had to do it.

Turns out that Kavanaugh is a liar? No one could have predicted that (except the people who were saying it ALL ALONG).

That was the frustrating thing that Republicans just couldn't wrap their head around. They want this guy to be able to say "I am young and healthy, I don't need to pay for insurance", and even though if he had gotten seriously injured he would have been treated regardless of whether he had insurance. And everyone who DOES have insurance (like me and you) would be the ones ultimately footing the bill.

Whether he gets care or not was never a question in the healthcare debate. We have already decided as a society that emergent care will be treated regardless of ability to pay. What was in debate was whether he would have to buy insurance and thereby contribute financially to the care that he would ultimately need (Democrats), or whether him buying insurance would be a "choice" so that he could "choose" to leech off of the rest of society who IS responsible and pays for their healthcare by not paying for insurance now but still getting healthcare if he did get in an accident and needed it (Republicans).

Where has that happened?
At a number of universities.

Is that number greater than zero?

If it is, can you post a list. Or even one name?

Call someone the improper pronoun, because you don't know them and they lose their ----, even worse in Canada you might be breaking the law.

I would suggest that you use the singular "they" for everyone, then you wouldn't get caught making a faux pas with androgynous people (and not necessarily people who are TRYING to be androgynous). I have definitely met people where it was difficult to distinguish gender without them trying to be ambiguous. If it were common to use "they" then it would not be a problem.

But the conservative snowflakes on this thread are completely triggered by the idea of it (and, as you phrase it, "lose their ----") so you are probably stuck without a good solution other than flipping a coin.

Never heard of this guy, gal, whatever. He's a pop star? How can you be a "star" when no one knows who you are? What's it take to be a "star" these days? A dozen facebook friends?

So is Justin Bieber. Argumentum ad populum isn't as persuasive to me as it to you.

#77 | POSTED BY NULLIFIDIAN

Uhhh... you know that its not a logical fallacy to talk about how popular someone is, WHEN YOU ARE ARGUING ABOUT WHETHER THEY ARE POPULAR.

I know... you want to be as cool as Goat and fling logical fallacies at people. But, to do that, you have to actually understand what a logical fallacy is. Otherwise you just look like an idiot.

Speaking of ridiculous, Trump makes an obvious joke

#5 | POSTED BY NULLIFIDIAN

Yeah... keep telling yourself that. Snowflake gotta defend the snowflake-in-chief being a snowflake.

"I always look orange," Trump said, to laughter.

"And so do you, the light is the worst," Trump added.

"I'm not a vain person. ... But I look better under an incandescent light than these crazy lights that are beaming down," he said at a rally in Fayetteville.

I never said I was a victim, I'm not a democrat.

#19 | POSTED BY BOAZ

Victim? Which party always whines about how the mainstream media is against them? About how Democrats have "destroyed" the values of this country and taken it away from them? Whine about the "SJWs" and how conservatives can't say what they want because society will judge them for it?

But, fine. You can claim that the DEMOCRATS are the victims.

With all the whining and complaining how things are "unfair", the term "snowflake" fits Republicans much better anyways.

What about the companies who are actually doing a lot better because of the trade war?

#17 | POSTED BY HUMTAKE

Which ones are those? Does the amount they are doing "better" make up for what is lost by the ones that are harmed?

That is why people are posting balance of trade or gdp or manufacturing jobs numbers. Because those numbers should be averaging out the good and the bad (helped and harmed).

So, please... make your argument that this trade war is overall helpful to the US economy.

And I don't want to hear "at least he's trying". You may be willing to give the snowflake-in-chief a participation award, but that is not going to convince me. I want to see the RESULTS that back up your assertion.

Carpenters and plumbers vote too. And their vote counts the same as professor Cuffadink's does.

#30 | POSTED BY PHESTEROBOYLE

Probably count for more, because their more likely to be from -------- states.

Jesus Christ. Ya'll are still trying to defend him over this?

Trump sent out a tweet saying that the Hurricane would hit Alabama. The NWS sent out a tweet that CORRECTLY stated that it was NOT going to hit Alabama (doing their job to clear up any confusion).

What about that needs an apology?

Now some talking heads might have made fun of Trump over the situation. And Trump being a Republican (pronounced snow-flake) had to get on twitter and whine about how there was a weather map, three days outdated, which showed the storm POSSIBLY hitting Alabama.

And all the Republicans get their panties in a wad because they think this is a HUGE example of TDS or media bias or some such paranoid crap.

When, in reality, it is just an example of Republicans being childish little snowflakes who can't stand someone saying something bad about them.

Good work, Tony. This might finally bring Trump down.

#10 | POSTED BY SHEEPLESCHISM

Of course it won't. Republicans don't care about corruption. In fact they applaud it as long as a Republican is benefitting (another way to "own the libs").

If Republicans had any moral fiber, this might take Trump. But, if they had any moral fiber then there are dozens of other things that WOULD have taken him down already.

Hell, they might even have gotten to the point where he could wear a tan suit and they wouldn't even care.

You could invoke tu quoque if Al Gore did not have the option to fly commercial.

#47 | POSTED BY GOATMAN

Huh?

You obviously don't understand what tu quoque means. I posted the definition of tu quoque in my last post (specifically for this type of situation). Read it again.

Btw... when I first saw this I seriously thought it was a hoax. The photo really looked like someone had taken a photo of Trump talking about the hurricane forecast and added the black line with MS Paint as part of their "satirical" article.

Was really shocked when I followed the links and found out this actually happened. And still thought it was likely it was all a big hoax that the MSM had fallen for.

I don't remember Obama defending this one and making a fake map with a sharpie though.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Give it another 15 minutes or so. WISGOD just opened up MS Paint. He will get you some "evidence" shortly.

#7 | POSTED BY ANDREAMACKRIS

Actually... I have long been in favor of barring people on the terrorist watchlist from buying guns.

Not necessarily to ban more people from buying guns. But because it would have invested the NRA and Conservatives in making sure that the terrorist watchlist had transparency and due process. (and it is logical that if they can't be trusted to fly on a plane, they probably shouldn't be trusted with a gun)

who?

Ok...

Obama bought his third home on a beach that's 8,000+ sq ft near a private airport. Therefore, that provides definitive evidence that global warming does not exist.

Or...

Al Gore rides around (to global warming speeches no less) in a private jet (that burns a lot of fossil fuels). That also provides definitive evidence that global warming does not exist.

by default.....why insist someone else do the same?
#37 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Really just pointing out the broad brushing that he was doing. But I guess that went over your head.

Name calling and negatively labeling people that don't agree with you is the left wing drive to control others.

#149 | POSTED BY PHESTEROBOYLE

Awww... poor little Phester. Feels "controlled" because someone was mean to him on the internet. Is willing to do anything to avoid getting his fee-fees hurt by someone calling him a bad name.

Grow a pair, snowflake.

(btw... that was intentional... you know, using the term "snowflake" - which Republicans LOVE to "label" liberals with)

So then, why did Trump insist on inreasing military spending so much?

#63 | POSTED BY DANNI

Because Republicans don't actually care about the debt or the deficit. All they care about is "owning/trolling libs".

That and funnelling my hard earned tax dollars to their supporters (farmers and the adult daycare known as the "military") and donors.

Has the "climate emergency" been canceled? Downgraded to "climate nuisance?"

#31 | POSTED BY NULLIFIDIAN

You didn't know. Obama bought a house on the beach. That means that global warming no longer exists.

Thanks Obama.

She is wacko, but that is fine.

As a liberal I will claim her.

As long as conservatives will claim the wackos on their side (nazis and white supremacists).
