SCOTUS: No longer content with stacking, they're now dealing from the bottom of the deck

The above isn't being said in the context of being relevant to Brett, right?

 

He made 200k in debt disappear and is not a magician by trade.

 

Something's fishy.  Investigating that isn't politics.

That should be.  Does the committee not have that info?

On a different note, is there any reason for Kavanaugh to be in this meeting?

And I dont respect hypocrital posts.  Either it's wrong to obstruct for political reasons or it is not.  The percentage is irrelevant.

 

There was nothing I said that was hypocritical. The effective process that had been in place for decades was changed by Mitch McConnell. Nuance doesn’t equal hypocrisy. The percentage is relevant. We don’t live in an all or nothing world.

As far as we know, not yet.

So what amount of obstruction is acceptable?  And who gets to determine that?

They never were, it was pure false advertising.

They only wanted to secure the Christian votes back when Christians were actually pretending to care about morality.

Why is Kavanaugh's assistant, Zina Bash, giving the white power sign?

So her resting her right arm/hand (into a white power sign)  on her left arm is perfectly innocent and random? Riiiight. 

[visionary]

Weird, but it seems like a bit much to assume that’s what she was doing without checking her history.

[DogofWar1]

It's somewhat ambiguous as to whether its a white power symbol or not.

 

It became extremely popular among right wingers because Trump used it a lot, including becoming widely used by people like Cerovich, Milo, and Spencer.

 

That being said there's a bit of a meta/ironic quality to it, a sort of "we only use this symbol to make the libs think its a white power symbol but its not actually a symbol we use."

 

 

I myself have just sorta done the "ok" symbol and sometimes catch myself opt for thumbs up or something similar to avoid any issues, as I tend to run with very meme-aware people.

 

The key, I would think, would be context of the ok sign.  Is it in response to outside stimuli where such a sign would make sense?  If not, then its somewhat suspicious.

 

Her hand is somewhat suspicious, but its also very possible it was on accident; I tried that hand positioning myself and it was not wholly unnatural feeling, just not something I'd probably do naturally PERSONALLY, but someone might.

 

Her background does raise some questions.

 

But back to the matter at hand!

 

WHERE DID YOUR 200K IN DEBT GO AND IS THE PRESIDENT ABOVE THE LAW!?

[Llevron]

I use the same symbol to get my dog to sit. He is a sweet dog but a horrible person so I cannot say hes not a racist to be honest.

White House said his friends paid back the money for baseball ticket purchases in the past

 

https://gritpost.com/brett-kavanaugh-200k-debt/

 

Quote

On Wednesday, The Washington Post reported on Kavanaugh’s financials, which list personal debt ranging from $60,000 to $200,000 (financial disclosure forms only require ranges) that White House spokesman Raj Shah say was accumulated by purchasing Washington Nationals season tickets with credit cards over the past decade, a personal loan, and from debt incurred through home improvements.

 

Mysteriously, that debt was entirely paid off just last year. Shah said the money came from friends who repaid their baseball ticket debt, though he wouldn’t give the names of the friends who attended the games with Kavanaugh, how many people he bought tickets for, or any additional details about the tickets. Financial disclosure forms also don’t require that a person reveal the source of how a debt was paid off.

 

It would be interesting to see if Kavanaugh corroborates that under oath.

thats unpossible. its a tweet. i saw it.

You don't know that's a white power symbol. It could be something totally innocent. Maybe she likes meth and is trying to scratch out the imaginary bugs under her skin.

 

I'm pretty sure that whole idea of the ok symbol meaning white power started as an internet hoax anyway.

the sign, while long-present if not widely used in britebart/neonazi/nationalist gatherings  (john birchers used to use it when i was a kid), and seen at trump rallies since the beginning, has indeed been popping up more frequently in trumpland lately.....along with bringing "anon" out into the ovary office as the crazy man further unhinges and continues to draw all the sick, mailing. and stupid ever closer

 

that's why the small % of semi-decent humans that call themselves republicans are steadily drifting away---sadly, it's a rather unsatisfying hobson's choice for them 

 

i'm hoping the video image is doctored.

I am an eager beaver when it comes to spotting the WP hand symbol. I am convinced it did start as a joke but now has been adopted as a white nationalist hand symbol. I dont think she was doing it. The third bottom finger would have to be intentionally extended.

You mean like the interview where Trump admitted to firing Comey over Russia or the Access Hollywood rape?

I was joking about the face she was making in the first 5 seconds.

 

i feel like i have to clarify that because you have to be careful about being associated with or condoning white power/racism **** these days, even with people you know. it's sad and also stupid, but it's where we are.

 

for further clarification - I did not know there was a white power symbol ( though I suppose, if I was forced to think about it, I would have assumed one existed because why not?) and I certainly didn't know *that* was the white power symbol.

 

can't even make jokes anymore. politics ruins everything.

But isn't that the "ok" sign?
