I don't think nearly enough is being made of the blatant lies Kavanaugh told about his yearbook. None of that stuff meant what he said it meant. His painting of himself as some scholarly, church-going athlete who never even jaywalked has been more damning to me than anything else. He'd be the first frat boy in history to never drink until he was blackout drunk.

To me he'd been better off saying "yeah I drank and engaged in things that teenagers do but I didn't sexually assault anyone".

Like I said, Denial 101, NEVER say not, never, didn’t, etc. nothing should be a legit answer. He broke that rule immediately

Drinking early

This country was never great for people of color and never will be. Might as well just do you and let the bigots and rapists destroy this hell hole.

If only there were some people with backbones willing to hold him accountable for lying under oath.

If I was innocent, I would definitely be calling for the FBI to investigate to clear my name but here we are.

Can you imagine, a justice who doesn't trust the justice system. But that's part for the course with the Trump administration: nominating people who have no business being nominated

How can you "do you" in a country that would be worse than it is now?

 

[RustyShackleford]

More trolls than sensible ones. The "sensible" ones mostly keep quiet. I put quotes because even when they know it's wrong they defend these actions too, just not as extreme or ignorant.

Crc Baller was supposedly one of the reasonably one and he said in here that he hates Trump because his economic plans are like a Democrat, minorities vote Dem because of welfare, and black people are committing genocide to their race because abortion rates are higher for black women (completely ignoring the income aspect driving it. Like poor people tend to have more unwanted pregnancies) and said Dems should be anti abortion because they are letting black people kill off future Democratic voters.

He stopped posting in here because he said he was tired of unfairly being called a racist. Let that lack of self awareness sink in for a second.

A conservative can show some sense from issue to issue, but the buffoonery will pop up sooner of later. Conservativism in America is sadly now all about defending white Supremacy, even with economics.

Do you in the midst of being discriminated against and raped. That just sounds like "sit back and let others do the work ".

One of who I was thinking of. At the end of the day the tribalism won over decency and common sense.

There is no strategy to combat poor policy, founded in identity politics ...

What baffles me about Dems is that they scream at the top of their lungs how racism and bigotry riddle the Republican party, and yet they spend most of their time talking about racism and bigotry ... There are only two outcomes to this strategy: 1) You are spot on and the the racists and bigots rally around the identity rhetoric and want to stick it to the minorities!!!!!! 2) More likely, people like me who wouldn't even pay attention unless Booker called me a racist, get pissed off at being called a racist and a bigot and vote against any and all Libbies ...

The GOP is the party that has been explicit about not being inclusive. Unless you are at the level of GOP operatives, what you're saying doesn't weigh more than what they said in 2013: the GOP is only getting whiter and older. Identity politics is its staple.

In addition, your post examplifies the idiocy of the average American's approach to politics. You care more about voting against people you hate than you care voting for the greater good of American society. People like you are sinking this country, and unfortunately it will be too late when you realize it.

I think people need to realize majority of this nation is racist. It’s a reason why Trump got elected. These closeted bigots feel empowered now. Also these recent events show these white men don’t give af about white women. “Stay in your lane mentality”. This dude Kavanaugh is gonna get off. They always do

 

[InTheHallway]

I respect this showing by Booker ... Kudos to him ...

 

[DADDYFATSACKS]

It can’t get worse than slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, mass incarceration etc for Black folk.Like Kendrick said “We gone be alright”

I think I've been pretty sensible with my views that Dims and Libs are scum.

True.

I remember 10 years ago NT had ton more conservatives, like in political threads it was nearly a 50-50 split. The three of the most prominent dudes were Blco, Crc, and Rex. All spewed some form of dog whistle racism.

One dude realized he was being an *******, stopped and completely reversed course, one play victim because he couldn't handle people calling out his implicitly racist arguments, and one for got banned for being a race troll. A few just stopped posting on NT, and like 95 percent of them got banned for racism over the years. Zyzz/Bert is another big one but he is too cowardly to handle people going at him.

I used to think NT just had the worst of the worst but in reality the whole movement is washed and what washes up on NT's shores just reflected that.

You’re referring to @Bert. ?

 

[Nike Jordan]

There's conservatives on NT? Loool

Da "independents" b.

 

[Nike Jordan]

I remember when Dirtylicious was sorta right-wing in the early days of NT.

 

[Cashflow]

Snitching

 

[RustyShackleford]

I remember when Dirtylicious was sorta right-wing in the early days of NT.

And when you would call him out on it he would get pissed off.

Real talk, I do not complain about NT is moderated in overall (withwof course one major exception) because I understand the job the mods have to do, but the way Dirty moderated general back in the day was lacking in alot of ways when it came to racist comments about black people.

 

[blastercombo]

For some odd reason the conservatives refuse to admit what they are. They instead agree with everything conservative and at the end back peddle and say they either don’t care or don’t have a side. It’s pretty pathetic

Those were the days. I grew up learning from Crc, Rex and Bloc. I learned from their mistakes and created a new form of conservative thought called #SmashMouthPolitics. The premise of #SmashMouthPolitics is to destroy Libs mentally, physically and emotionally through sheer force of will and Elite boxing skills.

He would also be the first person in the history of the world to drink alcohol and not have it affect his memory.

If that's the case why are you complaining about anything going on right now?

Booker for President. *drops mic and walks out*
