After Judge Kavanaugh is sworn in, the desperate Democrats will initiate Plan B - impeachment.

So there will be a new Thread when the Democrats continue their vendetta - The Saga Continues: The Impeachment of Judge Kavanaugh.

I'm elated for Kavanaugh. Yet in some ways I kinda wish he would wash his hands of Washington slime. I still want to toss rotten tomatoes at Sen Harris, Booker, and that Hawaiian wretch. But that's unfair to the tomatoes...
BK will do that for you. He s a gem.

Kavanaugh is bought and paid for by the 1% and will be nothing but a tool for the 1%, corporations, and wall Street ~ and Trump lemmings rejoice.

Watching the Democrats continue to recycle lies and old talking points over and over, one really has to wonder if they are simply dishonest or if they truly believe what they are saying.

They have certainly proven that they only believe in due process and equal treatment under the law for those who are ideologically aligned with them. This is difficult for conservatives to understand because we simply don't think in those terms. This really does highlight the major difference between the two sides in this very divided country.

I think people have really been able to see in this entire witch hunt what the Democrats are all about. They would be perfectly happy with a country where it's acceptable to go after anyone who one disagrees with character attacks and baseless personal attacks. We have seen that those who support this type of witch hunt do not believe that people should be innocent until proven guilty.

One does wonder how a man who never made as much as $200k in salary any year wound up with a net worth of $10 million. How Did Reid Get Rich
They all get rich. Perhaps members of BOTH parties should be asking that question.

Half the country is left-wing, so nothing to do with the truth, just partisanship.

I had no idea that was the case until I looked into murder statistics for femicide in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. I found a study that showed the murder rate in Ciudad Juarez was four times as high for men as women. A little more research showed that was the case almost everywhere else in the world too.

Men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of violence. But it's a big step to say men never feel fear in strange situations. When I was a little older than Christine Ford, I suffered broken bones from assaults not once, but twice, and the second time, suffered shock and other debilitating physical effects from fear for months.

Just another data point to add to your world view, ignore, or explain away. Best.
Ok. Is it men killing other men or women killing men? Women killing men would be apples to apples. IF not; it's not an appropriate comparison.
