Not sure if this shit has been posted yet but can you GET any more clear:

White Supremacy Is Front And Center At Brett Kavanuagh’s Supreme Court Confirmation Hearing


https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/1037033721235263488

Holy fucking shit... click on the video and watch this in all it's glory. It's not easy holding your fingers like that for more than a few seconds. This fine American has had some practice... Zina Bash

facts:
a) half mexican
b) young
c) certainly is aware she's on tv
d) almost certainly aware that the OK sign has been co-opted by white supremacists to troll ("what, i was just giving an OK sign")
e) no one holds their hands that way naturally

i don't think she's a white supremacist but i think she is doing it intentionally so she can laugh at the shrill shrieks of the triggered libs. and maybe go on tv later and say to the olds watching fox "look how dumb these libs are they're going nuts about the OK sign."

iow, she's a troll.

Oh totally. This was all very well planned and orchestrated... She's an IRL troll... I guess she is doing the legwork so a modicum of props given...

Still no soup for PCg11..

Listening to republicans at the hearing (with the partial exception of Sasse) confirms my embarrassment at being an American right now.

What a bunch of intellectually bankrupt cowards. It's a sick joke to hear the people who gave voters the middle finger over Merrick Garland stick their noses in the air and act like Democrats are the problem. Wow.

None of this should be happening - an un-indicted co-conspirator cannot be appointing people to the highest court in the land. Republicans are destroying the credibility of the justice system, what's left of it.

Political theater is all. None of this is normal. None of it.

Kavaunagh seems pretty swampy though based on the history. I'm sure he knows where a few bodies are buried.

It going to be glorious when the Democrats add a few extra justices to the court after ultimate power is back...

Again for those silly little conservatards posting here who think they are 'winning'...

Live births assure GOP extinction by 2046... Should have learned how to play the game correctly a hundred years ago or so like the liberals did...

Should have tried breeding down your dumb gene better, faster, and in greater numbers... Too late...

Those minorities.... Pst, we got them. You don't...
You’re going to be sorely disappointed once the inevitable political realignments simply form around new battle lines.

This link is to the father of one of the murdered at Parkland introducing himself and attempting to shake Kavanaugh's hand. This is what happened once the dad mentioned his daughter.

He was invited there purely for emotional leverage. Instead of logically articulating their views on gun control, its a heck of a lot easier to portray their opponents as spitting on the graves of victims.

I've been long done with American politics because this sort of propaganda.

I would have shaken his hand and said "I'm sorry for your loss but I need to go now" and then leave.

And to further forward the sham by denying access to important documents and giving no time to review those that were released. The republicans know no shame.

THIS is what democrats need to do. Must do if they regain control.
Number one: Impeach Donald Trump.
Two: Un-do all that Donald Trump has done.
Rolling back every one of Trump's executive orders.
And that includes REMOVING both justice Neil Gorsuch and the soon to be confirmed Brett Kavanaugh. We have ways of doing this. Including impeachment of the justice(s) not for what they have done but because they were installed by an impeached president.
Then democrats must give Obama's nominee a full hearing.
That is what democrats must do, if only they hd the balls.
And were able t play the game as dirty as republicans play the game.
Republicans would not hesitate to reverse and remove all that Obama has done if the situation were reversed.

Not a very good pick. Trump's first pick was a solid choice, true statesman in Neil Gorsuch, but this guy has been all over the place in terms of the 4th amendment and allowing the government too much power. I think Trump needs to nominate a more classical liberal judge that respects ALL amendments to the constitution, including the 4th.

That is so petty man! Stop using buzz words and slogans and calling Trump names.

All I hear is Trump is racist, sexist, bigot. It doesn't work anymore. Trump is a reprehensible human being first of all, second many of his policies like the increased drug war, revoking the Iran deal, his trade and tariffs policies, stronger military presence over the world are all bad, but I never hear anyone on the left talk about REAL ISSUES!!! Never hear what specific policy is bad and why!

When Jeff Sessions was nominated all I heard was Jess is racist and working for Russia, NO ONE mentioned his terrible policies like increasing the drug war, reversing Obama era limits on grants for state and local police to get military grade weapons and vehicles, reversing policies to allow states to control marijuana the way they see fit, his long standing hatred of the 10th amendment, etc...

All it was is how racist, sexist and evil he is and working for Russia. NOT ONE ACTUAL POLICY disagreement!

Why would you remove Neil Gorsuch? He is a great supreme court justice, one of the best. Not a hardcore right wing, nor a hardcore leftist. He is not an extremist nut from either side. Yeah he also happens to respect ALL amendments including the 2nd one, deal with it, the 2nd amendment is in the constitution as well!

Also Obama did incredibly terrible things. Obama started the wars in Libya and Syria, Obama killed over 1000 civilians in drone strikes all over the middle east, he kept a kill list of US citizens, he prosecuted more whistle blowers than ALL OTHER presidents before him COMBINED! Obamacare was a bill straight from the insurance companies, with unlimited bailouts for them if they got in trouble due to it.

This was interesting

Brett Kavanaugh Refuses To Shake The Father Of A Parkland Shooting Victim’s Hand At Hearing


This was discussed earlier in the thread. I feel bad for the father whose daughter was murdered by a mentally ill young man who should have been dealt with long before the shooting but this incident was obviously a planned ambush by pro gun control advocates to make the news cycle and hoping to make Kavanaugh look bad. Those who don’t see this are being dishonest with themselves. It was obvious that Kananaugh was surprised and caught off guard with the father rushing up to shake his hand and security intervened.

As hostile as that room was today, I wouldn't be surprised if they cleared everybody out except for the press and the committee for the following days. At a minimum, security will certainly be increased, even the liberals were getting irritated by the unruly environment. I absolutely stand by what I said, that was not the time or place for him to be approached.
This guy is applying for a lifetime job. The time to approach him is whenever you can. How tough would it have been to just shake his hand and offer sympathy for his loss? Most decent people would.

We learned more about Kavanaugh in that 10 second exchange then we will in the entire set of hearings. The unscripted moments show the real measure of the man.

Hmm. Starting trade war which caused the birth of a 12 B welfare program for farmers
Treason in Helsinki standing net to Putin
Caging children of asylum seekers without a plan to reunite
Photo-ops in place of real diplomatic foreign policy work
Tax cuts for the rich
Abdicating responsibility for climate policy.
Allowing more pollutants into out environment
Arresting US citizens of Latin descent.

Shall I keep going???

Smoke and Mirrors... the senate has access to over 500,000 documents, which is MORE than ALL the documents examined from the last 5 supreme court nominees COMBINED.
How much more documentation do you need?

Furthermore if most of the senate has already made their mind up how they will vote, why do they need more documents?

This is quite simply a stall tactic to push back this nomination to after November.

As I pointed out elsewhere, the only SCOTUS justice who didn't have to pass the filibuster hurdle is Gorsuch. You know, that Senate tradition that insures justices of at least somewhat moderate inclination, not ones who are highly ideological. We'll soon have another highly ideological justice in Kavanaugh.

Anybody who thinks they won't favor the big guys over the little guys has shit fer brains. It's not like the failed trickle down ideology of hard right billionaires needs any more support in govt than it already has but that's what we'll get.

Nonsense, Mr. K was in the White House while Bush was committing war crimes. Let's see the documents to find out if the nominee is a party to those war crimes.
