Spot on STD. Men, men, men. Very thought provoking. Kudos to author of this profound work, the Photoshop artist, the owner-operator of the twitter account, and to you, the poster. Very well done. I may have to take a day or two to process before responding to the actual substance of the incisive and multi-tiered socio-political filigree hidden within the post's deceptively delicate veneer.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

this is what I said to DCkings when I brought up those emails showing Kavanaugh having white nationalist beliefs. Kavanaugh absolutely believes in some sort of racial profiling as a security measure in airports, even though that is clearly an attack on the constitution. He put his white ethno-state beliefs over his job to uphold the constitution.

One would think it would be disqualifying, but maybe not - This is where the Republican party will show its true colors.

And it's un f'n believable that we're really at this point. We've regressed so far so fast.

the 4th picture is suppose to state, weak men create hard times. see? it's circular! As for the "men" getting too much or all of the credit....it is "the men" that get blamed for everything isn't? I mean let's not pretend that we can go back at any point in any culture at that we blame women for whatever ended up goin wrong? Or am i forgetting one? is there some obscure culture out there? Hmm maybe Easter Island, the women weren't giving up no puntane unless the men chopped down all the trees!!

Thing is - how could anyone picture Trump in either of the first 2 pictures? He's the polar opposite of the folks in those pictures. Talk about irony.

Brett Kavanaugh = POS in my mind now. Maybe that is unfair - but I am older than Brett Kavanaugh and we knew that those types of things were wrong. Flat out.

(1) You need to consider what evidence actually means. Testimony and accusers ARE evidence. They might not be enough evidence to convict in a court of law on their own, but they are absolutely evidence.

(2) This is not a court of law. This is the selection process for a Supreme Court Judge. The court of law only indirectly relates to what actually happened. The evidence needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person is guilty. A person can still have done the crime but owing to insufficient evidence are found not guilty, or could also be found guilty despite not having done the crime due to incorrect or misinterpreted evidence.

In this case, we have a person who has been accused multiple times with evidence that this is more than just something the person never mentioned to anyone prior to Kavanaugh's name being put up for appointment. Would it be enough to convict him in a criminal trial? Personally, I doubt it, but I doubt that kind of timeline is going to ever play out so it's entirely beside the point. What does matter is whether or not we have sufficient evidence to have concerns about how he would handle the powers associated with a seat on the supreme court. Frankly, I think the sexual harassment is only tangentially related to the biggest concern I have, which is Kavanaugh's clear willingness, at the very least, bend the truth to suit his preference. He isn't the only person who does that by any stretch, but it's concerning to me that in a hearing for an appointment to the supreme court we're hearing these kinds of allegations and dealing with a person who is willing to walk such a tight line with respect to borderline perjury. With those kinds of allegations, I'm not sure why anyone would think it best for everyone to make a decision without examining Kavanaugh's full record diligently.

Avenatti has never had to retract any public statement, his track record on these matters is 100% accurate.

Another sanctimonious, moral hypocrite conservative, his choir-boy image has been torpedoed. Better hope that he doesn’t make it onto the court, if he does, he will have Clarence Thomas-style revenge run on the court.

And now Trump's accusing China of interfering with our elections... Does he have any proof? Or did he say it because some guys who looked Asian laughed the loudest at his speech yesterday?
