US Midterm Elections Megathread III: Hitting The Wall

[Petrasylvania]

American politics is a battle in which Cersei Lannister types excel, liberals aren't going to win until they stop being Ned Stark.

It's time for the Dems to be abrasive and land low blows.

Well, if you do that, don't expect to get the votes of moderates and conservatives who are fed up with Trump and want a return to civility!

Because civility always triumphs over trash talk in American politics.

Let's see the undercover videos around this country like Texas show proof of the dumbass liberal saying they let all daca illegals vote,any state that allows Sanctuary protection for the peasants who drain the taxpayers with welfare like California,New York.Don t deny that it's not true. Stupid snowflake liberals who easily get offended by facts,well they make people in this country sick.

You don't need a hidden video. I'm for giving all DACA people citizenship and thus the right to vote, I'll grab a megaphone and shout it from the rooftops. Sanctuary cities too.

I would call them hard blows, oh Please like both sides have not done so in the past, and I think I don't have to prove that, and what according to me and many others they did to Brett Kavanaugh.

An appointee to a permanent governmental position as influential as SCOTUS justice should be beyond reproach. Kavanaugh clearly was not. I get the value of innocent until proven guilty, but he wasn't being tried in a criminal court, he was being questioned as to his qualifications for being given a high level permanent government position. Even if he didn't sexually assault anyone, there is also the matter of him perjuring himself in front of a senatorial commission, something that Republicans deemed sufficiently criminal to try and impeach a president of. But of course Kavanaugh's a conservative so he obviously did nothing wrong.

The Senate Dems might have stopped Kavanaugh if they were smart enough to play the perjury angle. The rape accusations couldn't be 100% proven or disproved, but he lied under oath. He was asked if he ever got totally shitfaced, he said no, and his drinking buddies confirmed - yeah he got sloshed as you can get.

He also went completely off the rails into a partisan rant. While some.may argue it was justified given the situation assuming innocence, that really doesnt matter. He took the bait and proved he is a partisan hack, which raises huge concerns about his imparriality in future cases. His little rant by itself should have disqualified him, regardless of whether it was justified or not.

C'mon after Kennedy left there's no impartial justices left on the court. If that was a disqualifying thing we'd have to impeach the entire bench.

If the Republicans were willing to overlook sexual assault, perjury would be nothing to them as long as they got to own the Dems.

You know what.... if that's the price of a SCOTUS with impartial justices, then so be it.

That hearing (or whatever it's called) is kinda part of his job interview if you think about it.
I personally believe that too much time has past to correctly determine whether or not Kavanaugh did commit sexual assault.
However, his conduct during the hearing was not the conduct that we should want from our Supreme Court justices.

You're never going to get impartial justices though. Both sides pick judges that lean in their favor for a reason.

There is no price, you can't buy the impossible.

It's almost like appointing justices to a lifetime position via politicians is dumb, or much more importantly, lifetime positions in a democracy (or a Republic if you really want to be a pedantic ass about it) is a terrible idea when the average person will likely be alive for 30+ years after their appointment.

I hope its all of them and the First Order is defeated once and for all.

Really helping your "I care about wveryone, even Republicans" ther Mr. literal fantasy villain references.

Now that one party doesnt control everything believe it or not I do. We had a free and fair election in most states and the people chose.

Man you can just admit you don't care about the other side lol. Your rhetoric already shows that's the case so it's not like anyone is going to think any differently about you.

You really think anybody would be “calm collected and dignified” in his position?

There are some reasonable Republicans such as Congressman elect Dan Crenshaw of Texas.

Define reasonable

Define reasonable

People who are willing to reach out to the other side and openly want a return to civility and bipartisanship which is what Commander Crenshaw alluded to on SNL.

The telling of lies. You have a consistent mindset that people who are supporters of the other party are bad people, you compare them to literal fantasy villains when describing them. What evidence, other than your preposterous insistence, indicates that you care about them one bit?
