    Thank you for having no morals and supporting a molester as president. I am not terribly surprised mr. garb em by the pussy doesn't care about nominating a guy who likes to grab titties.

    I will agree it is not the end of the world. This is the same thing we have had for years with republican nominees. The world did not end earlier and I doubt it will now. It is just a sign to the dem voters you need to get off your ass or suffer the consequences because you cannot trust the republicans to even try to look moderate anymore. Twitler showed they can run anyone and get elected and that just means they will get worse.

    I did not have much faith in a republican woman not going with their guy. Look at all of them going out there and defending a guy who is pretty much a rapey drunk frat guy. All the moderates who thought she had a backbone are just learning what a lot of people do about women who have given into the idea they are not fully human, and agree they are second rate citizens because of their gender.

    It is hard to look at your life as a housewife with a half assed career where you have accepted your role as a slave to a man, and you probably have taken a lot of abuse from him and other women in your life to keep your self perception down. You are over thirty, reliant on a man for survival, and you hear every woman in your little town doing the same thing and realize you really cannot do any better anymore. So you better get in line with the men so they take responsibility for your middle america ass and beat down the younger girls because you cannot keep up anymore and compete for retirement and comfort when you have pissed half your life away living off of some dude. You are supposed to suck cock and like it and if women rise above that station they show you what you could have been, so you have to knock them down because you do not want to face yourself.

    You cannot rely on cum dumpsters and baby factories to come out for equality. The next generations are changing as the republicans shoot themselves in the foot by destroying the income of men for the profit of the one percent. We have to remember up until recently it was a choice for a woman to work, and therefor have strength of her own. Millenials won't have that choice, and as women are required to be employed so that their families have two bread winners and can survive more the old generations will die off and women will unite more and more against the midwestern red housewife who does not want equality. She wants her bon bons and her couch.

    Murkowski withdrew her vote as a gift to Daines, who would have voted yes, but is at his daughters wedding.

    She changed her vote from no to present.

    Right now the vote is 50 to 48.

    Edit: He's confirmed to SCOTUS.

    That was a nice gesture; very considerate of her. It might also work a little politically since her opponent cannot say she voted against Kavanaugh, only that she expressed opposition.

    No it won't work to save her in 2022.

    She's on record as voting against Kavanaugh. They only reason she withdrew her vote was as a gift to Daines. If she had not withdrawn her vote than it would have been 50-49. Either way she will be remembered for voting against Kavanaugh. No opponent will let that slide by in the primary.

    I would think the future erosion of church/state separation would rankle an atheist.
    But there I go doing that kooky thing called thinking logically again.

    No outrage here.

    I don't have any left.
    Truthfully, if it had been a Dem-nominated justice with the same shit, it probably would've been a similar result.
    Because we don't care about women.

    Paladin worships one god, and that's the all mighty American Dollar.

    If it doesn't come out of his pocket, he doesn't care.

    His reaction to my equality pic where he and Lanz twisted a post about social inequality into one about protecting assets shows as much.

    I hope I live to see the day when California secedes from the rest of this garbage country once and for all..

    Just stating facts.

    Unless you now think that Bill Clinton's accusers and Anita Hill were also GOP paid shills.

    So now you believe Clinton's accusers? How nice of you.

    Anita Hill - still not credible after 30 years

    It secedes?

    It has no access to cheap electricity. It doesn't have the ability to make electricity. It has no water, is in a drought and has no water reserves. It has an out of control one-party state government that is bankrupting the state turn into a one-party federal government. Things are not going to get better for California.

    It would also face huge movements of people in the state who don't want to separate from the rest of the US.

    You would see one of two things:

    #1 Most of California refuses to secede with California so California the new nation actually shrinks in size. What you think you're going to be able to take the whole state with you? :lol: Think again. Remember all those counties already trying to split from California? What makes you think they want to secede with California into a new nation?

    #2 On the off chance you get the whole state physically you would see a mass exodus of people and companies. Your state is already facing that problem. It will only get worse as the new nation sends taxes through the roof to pay for all the new things you need to do to be a nation.

    Oh you might be thinking, "well what about our ports and silicon valley and Hollywood?"

    #1 Your ports will die. If you think shippers are going to pay the insane new high prices installed by the nuts in your new federal government think again. If you think shippers are going to ship to your ports than drive that cargo across California to the new American border and pay customs a second time think again. Shippers will simply come to the Eastern Seaboard. Or to Oregon and Washington. Or to Mexico. We simply put in a new agreement with Mexico that splits the customs costs so shippers aren't paying double.

    #2 Silicon Valley will abandon California. Why? Because right now Silicon Valley is insulated somewhat against the current state government by the Federal government. Once the state government becomes the new feds you will see new regulations and costs go up and drive those companies out of California. Those companies would also face incentives from the US government to come set-up a new Silicon Valley. Incentives that the nation of California would be unable to meet. Like access to cheap electricity and water and low taxes. And those beautiful government contracts. Especially the DOD ones. You know, the ones that provide the big money, because the DOD doesn't usually do business with companies in foreign countries. It does some of course with our allies but for most of it those contracts are for American companies only. Security reasons you understand.....

    #3 Hollywood? Already abandoning California the state. Simply way too expensive to film there now as it is. California as a nation? Even those rich liberals running the place would run.

    Oh and the US of course would actively encourage everyone who wants to live in the new nation of California to escape the evil US to go. We'd even help move them. How do you plan on dealing with the costs for that influx of dumb hippies?

    The state wouldn't last five minutes before it collapsed.

    California is a giant house of cards already. Becoming its own nation? Laughable.

    I for one can not wait for RBG to leave SCOTUS not in 2018 or 2019 but in 2020 that way we can have a huge fight over the Biden rule. Suddenly you'd see all those people who just a little while ago (Obama, Biden and the left) where saying it doesn't exist start screaming BIDEN RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And the GOP can just say, "Hey you told us in 2016 that there was no Biden rule when Obama nominated Garland for the Supreme Court. It's a shame you don't control the Senate otherwise you'd be able to not vote on Trump's nominee." Followed by the GOP doing this: :yaoming:

    Rule #4 "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." <--- I really like this rule. :techman:

    (assuming of course the GOP holds the Senate this year. I think they will but it's always a possibility they won't.)

    Is someone dissapointed there is no real rage to masturbate to? Don't worry, there will be enough on TV. Some of us just remember that given their age this was something that is probably a part of drunken college life for the guys. I actually don't think you could find many dem males who were not involved in questionable evenings of drunken sex in their youth. In reality we know that is part of the male privilege of power and money, and that it is very recently that there has even been much pushback. The very reality this was a challenge at all shows a shift in the right direction, but the metoo movement is in it's infancy, and like trump says you have nothing but fear in your future for your nights of drunken sex.

    I would put the breaks on because budweiser for her does not mean yes anymore. Hate to see you in jail telling bubba the love sponge no means no while the world laughs at your cries for help.

    Yeah, we will hear more rage from you in the future as more men get torn apart for sex without consent. I hear your shaking in your boots from here. No means no, you petulant child.

    So now that he's all but appointed, what's he going to do if a case involving the Clintons make it to the Supreme Court? Or the Dems that were being dicks to him? Or his accusers? Will he recuse himself, or will it be "What goes around comes around"*?
