  1. This sums up how much of a sham this "investigation" into Brett is. 100 Senators have access to ONE copy of an over 1000 page report. Scam. https://www.salon.com/2018/10/04/fbi-investigation-into-kavanaugh-is-over-1000-pages-senators-must-read-a-single-copy-in-24-hours/ FBI investigation into Kavanaugh is over 1,000 pages. Senators must read a single copy in 24 hours Senators would have to read one page per minute to read it all in less than 17 hours

  3. Didn't want to burn up my free views on the Washington Post, so found it here. https://www.newsweek.com/more-1000-law-professors-sign-letter-calling-senate-not-confirm-kavanaugh-1151993?amp=1 MORE THAN 1,000 LAW PROFESSORS SIGN LETTER CALLING ON SENATE NOT TO CONFIRM KAVANAUGH
  4. Sounds to me like someone is building a case for a run for the GOP nomination, does it not??
  5. Didn't watch the episode, so fine, you got me there. However, I penalize you. Did I accuse you of defending BK? No. I haven't looked though all the pages in this thread and my post was directed to those who were defending BK. I too am as objective as possible. The whole reason why this whole thing is a sham has to do with the GOP and their insistence that this happen before the midterms. I'm fully aware that criminal cases have a higher burden of proof. This whole process is not criminal, and therefore has a lower burden of proof. If the GOP was concerned about getting qualified, "good" people on the bench, they would have taken more time an care in who was put forward. Don't blame Ford and the Dems for how crazy this is. That falls squarely on TRUMP!! and the GOP.
  6. I some questions for the Kavanaugh defenders: Would you pet a dog that might have bitten other people? Would you let someone stay in you house who might have stolen property from other people? Would you have unprotected sex with someone who might have been exposed to an STD? Are you OK with BK and the questions of his character sitting on the highest court in the US for decades? OR Would you require a lot more digging into the past of the dog, etc. before petting the dog, letting the person stay in your house, having sex with that person, and letting BK sit on the Supreme Court?
  7. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/kavanaugh-s-testimony-starting-look-more-more-problematic-n915771 Kavanaugh's testimony is starting to look more and more problematic First Read is your briefing from "Meet the Press" and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter.
  8. https://thinkprogress.org/kavanaugh-1997-wedding-photo-ramirez-nbc-50f89119756e/ Text messages suggest Kavanaugh didn’t tell the truth about 1997 photo with accuser Kavanaugh said he “doesn’t have a specific recollection." Text messages indicate his team had a photograph.
  9. What a baby. She deserved all the penalties she got. She berated the ref over and over. Then cried a river. This isn't the first time Serena pulled this garbage
  10. When you actually crunch the numbers this represents a drop in the bucket when you compare it to the money that can best be described as corporate welfare. You want waste look at the cost overruns in the Harper navy shipbuilding program. Billions was spent before even the first ship was started. The navy ends up getting fewer ships that cost way way more than if they had built the ships elsewhere and outfitted them here. This is also akin to the calls for welfare recipients passing drug tests to get welfare. Whenever it has been tried the testing program cost more than what the taxpayer saved in not having to pay druggies welfare.
  11. Well that is the golden temple. How would one act and dress if they were visiting the Vatican, Mecca or the temple mount.
  12. In Canada gun ownership is not a right guaranteed by the constitution. It is a privilege. If the government decided to take guns away we will be #@$&* out of luck. If the government decided to go the way of Austrailia, gun nuts would temper tantrum like little toddlers and the guns would be rounded up. The US is a different animal. The 2nd amendment was an addition to the constitution that lawmakers decided was needed years and years and years ago. The change made then is celebrated but proposed changes made today cannot be done because reasons. Let's also remember that there is language that often gets omitted when people talk about the 2nd.
  13. The simplest retort to gun nuts in Canada: Gun Ownership Is Not A Right It Is A Privilege If gun ownership was an enshrined right in our constitution then I could understand the uproar. BTW responsible gun user here.
  14. Another idea: more medical and eye exams required by Class 5 drivers. Professional drivers require regular eye and physical exams. Yet someone who gets their Class 5 license as a teenager doesn't have to prove they are medically capable to drive until after they are a senior. What person is physically able to do the same things as a middle aged adult as they were when they were 18. There are plenty of adults who need eye glasses and such.
  15. This plays right into the CONservative playbook. Step 1: Campaign and get elected on smaller government less taxes because of government mismanagement. Step 2: Make cut in taxes that are not paid for resulting in budget/program cuts. Step 3: Government agencies have difficulty in doing their mandates resulting in inefficiency and perceived mismanagement. Step 4: Use step 3 to get re-elected or dismantle targeted government agencies. Repeat as necessary.
  16. Oh but it is the NDP that doesn't know how to run things. Isn't that the refrain of BC Lieberals . It's the NDP that runs this province (and others) into the ground. This is proof positive that the conservatives do it as well.
  17. Enough time that Euron could get his fleet built and sail around to Kings Landing.
  18. And Veep, Silicon Valley finished. At least we found out when Curb comes back. Hold the door!!!!!!!
