American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

How do you know it was faking? A pretty huge critique about K-dog was his almost cry during the Fox interview. You are right, it cannot be proven at this point. There’s enough to show a plausible pattern of behavior, but convict, that’s what’s needed. Unfortunately they don’t have it.

Agreed. However, making that kind of allegation in this public space can create an issue.

When you make crying sounds and no tears come out you are either faking or your tear ducks don’t work… She didn’t even pretend to rub the tears from her eyes. But again, I have no fucking idea. I have to default to innocent until proven guilty.

Polygraphs are not admissible in court. Meaning they hold very little water. Beating a polygraph is not too difficult as the video shows above.

The yearning for the FBI investigation is not for this case, it is to postpone his confirmation until after the November elections which democrats hope that they’ll retake the senate. In which case they can get the nominee that they want. Democrats don’t give a shit about Ford, all they care about is getting power. All she is, is a tool to help them get it. On top of that, as a nominee Brett has already been subject to multiple FBI investigations. Another one isn’t going to change their outcome, it will change the date of his confirmation. To a date in which the dems hope that they have power. If Lindsey Graham can see it, why can’t you?

Did the rapist get yes’d or no’d yet?

The senate judiciary committee just advanced Kavanaugh’s nomination to the full Senate. Both political parties only care about power. They don’t give a shit about the people.

GOP didn’t have a problem doing this for Garland . . . . At least they were up front if this is in fact the case.

Why are they in such a hurry to fuck the people

Lifetime appointments are bullshit

I mean the gop work for more overtly evil corporate concerns

And have become super defensive. Forceful. Sloppy.

Putting kavanaugh forward would pretty much kill them

Maybe flake did this because he knows it won’t go through

To have such a fucking moronic nominee choice shows that the gop promotes rape

Are republicans acting in fair play like when they did with Garland?

They want political power all the way through 2020 and beyond. Fuck being fair. They just change the rules to cater towards their needs anyway.

May as well make this the GOP anthem . . . . .

Even if we take that as a truth, the Republicans under Obama obstructed more judicial appointments, including Garland, than all previous President had faced combined. I might be slightly off on the math, but it’s not far off.

Republicans have been fighting dirty. That’s been McConnell’s project, and he’s succeeded. Even so, they’re only able to ram Kavanaugh through by having changed the fucking rules that every other administration had to abide by.

Very interesting ruling on the free speech front:

I think it’s a disservice to the public to move forward despite one’s political leaning. It’s not a partisan issue, its a human issue and it’s a shame it’s been treated improperly.

It’s the fucking SCOTUS. 60 votes is actually an awesome requirement because then you know both parties are kinda mostly okay with what is supposed to NOT be a haven for political hacks.

Based upon Kavanaugh’s actions yesterday, I don’t see how anybody would think he would be an excellent unbiased choice. But then again maybe I’m believing in the liberal Clinton revenge conspiracy Kavanaugh touted: I’m sure him voicing that is not a bad sign. Poor guy: given that he was first in his private school class he certainly is due a SCOTUS seat. And Ford definitely seemed like a devious well-trained crisis actor. I definitely think she knows how to beat a polygraph.

FWIW, the ABA had previously lowered his rating (they later raised it again) based upon his behavior heading towards his previous confirmation twelve years ago. Wonder if they’ll do it again.

Curious as to what happens now that they’ve identified the probable date of the attack. Seems like the investigation that Murkowski/Flake want to have happen wouldn’t have to try very hard.

Got damn. If there’s one thing this presidency has done well it’s being entertaining as fuck.

I got to see r/ Donald go from singing praises that Kavanaugh vote was pushed through only to turn into a fucking dumpster fire when the delay and FBI investigation was announced.

Legit brought me to tears laughing so hard.

Seems like even Trump is starting to back pedal on Brett!! Lmao.

Omg trump supporters saying trump will never ok a FBI investigation. Look where we at now! Lmao

You’d think these fools would realize trump ain’t above throwing peeps to the wolves.

A lot of times in the video he references that the information has been refuted which is not true. You can’t say something has been refuted because someone didn’t remember. Ford may not have the supporting evidence, but that’s not saying that it did not happen. That’s also not saying she is lying.
