Fergasun Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Middle school "son of Fergasun" is learning about introductory logic... and their debate topic this week was Kavanuagh and whether or not past incidents or false accusations should keep you from serving in high government positions (kind of a false premise because Circuit Judge is already high). He is in a Christian based schooling program, and he was the only person that argues on the con side. His argument was, "How do you know Kavanaugh is not lying?" We also discussed the example of King David, who was repentitent for his sin. I am convinced Kavanaugh and his friends know Dr. Ford and are covering up her sexual assault (I think it could have been Judge or someone else in that circle) -- especially reading some of the compelling insights former GP classmates shared. I am also convinced Kavanaugh is lying about the Ramirez incident. I think the GOP is signaling the "boys will be boys" defense on this which is also disgusting. This is why they let one of them vote NO... it was Murkowski who drew the long straw. The fact that the FBI did such a weak investigation is like Police Chief Wiggam on the Simpsons saying, "Notging to see here folks...." (I know and when he saw the fire he proceeded to tell everyone about it...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll fall back on them. If it comes out, they should say that it's sad and refer questions to the FBI and Admin. That's it. Otherwise, it'll blow-up in their faces. No doubt. It's like the Dave Chappelle skit on R. Kelly. All the items of proof still won't be enough. the GOP spent years investigating Benghazi. Spent a decade investigating Whitewater to find that he got head from Lewinsky. I need to know why this would blow up in their face? at this point, eff being scared of the GOP. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Again. I want to see a full investigation into every allegation. Over the past few days though, a few left leaning posters have tried to create limits though or say why that wouldnt be possible. Strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulSkin Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 How in the hell are 23% of Democrats not "very motivated" to vote? I guess some people just say I'm a Democrat, and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Every time I see an editorial about Dem vs Repub excitement to vote, I go back to an earlier article that the number of people who identify themselves as Republican keeps decreasing. So I am not sure if these articles are accounting for that. One flaw in these articles is it isn't accounting for people who are unaffiliated or at least claim to be when surveyed. In the end, turnout is all that matters. I vote every time regardless of my "excitement level." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 What would be something is if we had full investigations and the Dems managed to flip the House and the Senate. Trump would lose his mind. Wait... umm... if Trump lost his mind would anybody notice the difference? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford doesn't want to press charges now, nor did she ever. Is someone actually arguing that the Democratic party is interested in justice rather then just doing what's politically expedient?

It's interesting to see the varied responses. There's probably at least some truth to all of them. I just figured this would be an all hands on deck kind of situation, but nah... some aren't feeling completely motivated yet. What does a self-identifying Dem need to find that motivation at this point? Maybe crowdfunding gift certificates to future marijuana dispensaries (or something else compelling) for proof of an "I Voted" sticker to this supposed 23% could get some of them enthused. Just spit-balling. Edited October 11, 2018 by SoulSkin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in a district you know will go red is another one, its hard to convince people otherwise, about as much as accepting in some cases they are right.

Under most circumstances I'd probably agree with you and give the person the benefit of the doubt, but it's a bit difficult for me in this instance when his (especially recent) posting history has seemed very much adversarial in favor of Rs and Trump. I'm not saying there's necessarily anything wrong with that..it's his opinion...but an apparent sudden shift away from that along with the "a few left leaning posters have tried to create limits though or say why that wouldnt be possible. Strange." comment makes me feel like it really hasn't a good faith argument. If I'm wrong (and I certainly have been in the past) then I owe him an apology.
