That?s a prediction ? Duh , your party of sex offenders controls the senate , house and the presidency .
Like I said, the best midterm outcome for dems is kavanugh gets confirmed by a thin margin and then more , and seriously bad stuff comes out after .
If this sleazebag were not confirmed , stakes would be much higher for midterms for gop and would actually boost turnout

There seems to be a pattern in elections.
Bush elected in 2001 and started wars which led to
Obama elected in 2008 which led to
Trump elected in 2016 which will probably lead to
2018 huge blue wave.
So if you go too far one way, the other side pushes back as hard or harder. I think trump is going to have a massive effect on the reaction part of this equation.
We'll see if i'm right in 5 weeks.

Either you pretend not to understand my response or are trying to dodge it
The simple point is kavanagh gettin confirmed is in the gop hands , doesn?t take a genius to predict it
If you want to talk about which party actively supports sex offenders and which one weeds them out for even posing for a few comical pictures (like al Franken), the American public understands this v well . And don?t bring everything back to 1990s bill clnton . That?s the only leg anyone on the right has to stand on .

Oh the public understnds this all too well. No need to go that far back. Lets look back just a few days...
When he was in high school, Cory Booker, the New Jersey Democrat and possible White House contender, groped his classmate as they kissed. He reached for her breast, and when she swatted his hand away, he made another attempt.
The incident resurfaced this week as Booker joined calls for an FBI investigation into the allegation of high-school-era sexual assault leveled by Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump?s nominee to the Supreme Court.

The allegations of abuse against Keith Ellison aren't going away
Back in August, the son of a former girlfriend of Rep. Keith Ellison alleged that the Minnesota Democrat had abused his mother in the course of that relationship.
Austin Monahan said he found a video on his mother's computer showing that Ellison had forcefully tried to drag her off of a bed while swearing at her. Ellison denied the allegations and suggested they were politically motivated -- coming just days before Minnesota's Democratic primary for attorney general.

I remember the dems coming out a week before Bush election with the shocking DUI conviction.
And I am shocked that after Obama left there have been zero beheadings.
So...??.. like I said yesterday, maybe no one will ever get that seat. What I meant is that anyone can be tainted with a smear like is happening now, from both parties.

It's kind of strange because her tv advertisements focus on her strong commitment to women who are victims of violence. She should be speaking up if she's serious.
This thread is now the catch all political thread
I know ?both Sideism? and ?everyone is to blame? is the easy and polite answer ar social settings but at this moment in time ... I think one party is clearly relying on thuggish tactics to stay in power and control power and does not care about Democracy anymore
Minority older white voters , evangelicals , and some other gun types and their dominance in the low population but high voting power states are what s forcing the agenda of 35 percent of the population on rest of the country .
The gap between popular vote and electoral college , and popular vote and representation in college will continue to widen
This is why the gop s best weapon in this fight is voter suppression and I am not just taking about minorities , it is also about suppressing the vote of Young people and college students

Evangelicals always have to focus on the terrorist / Muslim aspect of all things in the world . Now what was the connection between that and Bush DUI ?
Or are evangelicals like ready2downsize typing these posts ?under the influence?
since our dear newly apponted judge has made it socially acceptable to get drunk and indulge in bad behavior !Loco_local

One if the things I don't understand about the Religious Right is how they villainize Muslims because of the Paris shootings but they make excuses for the Las Vegas shooter like it really makes a difference if someone yells allahu akbar before they kill you.

agreed. creepy porn lawyer stuck his neck out way too far on this one (gotta stay in the limelight for his presidential run) and presented a woman with claims that completely undercut all of the other accusers.
woman #3 attends gang rape party, gets gang raped herself, keeps going to the same parties 10 times and doesn't tell or warn anyone, comes out over 35 years later with no evidence other than her word.

Sorry for changing the subject. I get triggered whenever Obama is mentioned. Especially in a thread with people defending high school parties with (i can't even type it). Does anyone remember the case with the sherrif's son and pool sticks.
