Today in Trump's 1st term as President

[bblhd672]

I have a feeling I'm one of the few people who isn't politically charged by the whole Kavanaugh thing. As I watched this unfold for the past few weeks, I'm most amused by the political chess that's being played. Team Red just sat back and played every hand they were dealt calmly and professionally. Team Blue pulled out an ex machina card late into the game (clearly as a delay tactic) in order to keep Kavanaugh out. Their reasoning from what I can tell is to either force cancellation of his nomination or to delay it enough so that in the event a blue wave comes in November, they can just vote against him and have a more "compassionate" nominee take his place. Unfortunately for Team Blue, their ex machina card may as well be a 3 of clubs. There are so many problems with it that it's incredibly amusing to watch it backfire at Team Blue in every way possible. If people use their brains to dissect the situation, it will definitely spell the end for Team Blue. A new team with liberal ideologies will form, I'm sure, and they'll hopefully be less scary for everyone's sake.

Failures of ex machina card:

1. The primary punch the card has comes from an event three and a half decades ago. The odds of that memory being remotely accurate are very low. It doesn't matter how vivid the event was. Anyone with a little psychological background would know that episodic memories diminish with accuracy over time regardless of the impact that the event had on the subject. So those memories that Ford has are mostly false memories, as in memories that the brain filled in to make the actual episode make sense. The odds of it being accurate are next to none. Funny thing too. Ford, having a PhD in psychology, knows that.
2. No one corroborated with Ford. No one. Not like it matters. It was 35 years ago. But it sure doesn't bode well for Team Blue.
3. By design, since it was such a long time ago with no witnesses or video tapes or audio recordings or whatever, the card is literally a he-said-she-said game. Also with such a large gap between the supposed event and anyone hearing about it, there's no way anyone would be convicted of that crime no matter what public profile the defendant has. So what's the point?
4. By flipping one's vote or forcing someone to flip one's vote from yay to nay based on that kind of flimsy allegation is literally an assault to due process. Last I checked, people are innocent until proven guilty. Team Blue decided that due process has no basis anymore, and that rules are no longer required. Anyone who knows that and still supports Team Blue really needs to get a reality check.
5. Team Red didn't want an FBI investigation because it would waste too much time. Team Blue called them out for it and essentially went, "Just a week. That's all we need." Baaad move. Really? Just a week? That's a bad trap to fall into. Of course, that's exactly what Team Blue got: a week. Does anyone really think anything of value will appear in just 7 days?
6. The FBI unsurprisingly came back with nothing after their week. So what does Team Blue do? Call shenanigans and claim FBI partisanship. Yes. The same team that said the FBI was nonpartisan with its investigation of Trump's associates. You can't have it both ways, people.
7. Lastly, it looks like an all-out civil war is occurring with this political battle. Seriously. It really does look that way. Well, except only one side is fighting. Team Blue is no longer shouting and complaining. They are literally throwing crazy political punches like a whiny little brat of a kid trying to topple a stable government. It's embarrassing. Team Red is just looking and wondering what's going on. Have you noticed that? Team Red is literally doing nothing but watching Team Blue in a middle of a temper tantrum. No matter what the outcome of the Kavanaugh fight is, Team Blue will come out looking like a complete failure.
8. Bonus pointer: Team Blue is claiming Kavanaugh isn't fit to be a justice because of his temperament. Yup. It makes sense. No one who has endured such public scorn against himself and his entire family with such strong and villainous accusations should get upset. Uh huh... Kavanaugh should just go back to his day job that he's been doing successfully for, what, 20 years? Yeah! Go back to being a circuit judge! Who needs good temperament with that job! Sarcasm aside, I'd honestly be more concerned about him if he kept a level head during his interview about the sexual assault allegations. Emotionally blowing up only shows that he's a normal human like us and not a sociopath or someone with some other horrible mental illness.

Apologies to the folks here with left leaning ideologies, as the only team available for you to be on at the moment is about to crumble.

Well said sir!

Grandpa used to say, "Don't get mad. Get even." However, I would say to Judge Kavanaugh, it's possible to do both.

Things are looking good for Kavanaugh. Let's hope it holds!

And imagine the craziness that we will see when Trump nominates someone to replace RBG after she is done.

Don't they put a mirror under her nose every morning just to make sure she's still breathing?

It won't be long before she passes out in a drunken stupor and doesn't wake up.


Hey, that makes me think of something. If Kavanaugh isn't worthy because he drank too much in high school and college and did stupid stuff, how does getting drunk and passing out at a state of the union address on national TV while on the job get a pass?

Well rules, are just applied to those the left disagrees with. Billary Clinton, and "One for the road" Kennedy never had to answer questions about their yearbooks

Really impressive when you consider that over 50% of 2016 vote total went to clinton

A couple things to take into consideration;
1) There are many who are walking away from the democrat party after their antics over the last 2 years.
2) This is just a poll, doesn't really mean much. The polls predicted Hillary would win in 2016, and we all know how that ended.

[flechero]

True, but the polls usually lean a little left so that (in my mind) is even more positive news.

Especially when it’s the Female Catholic judge who has 6 kids he’s already vetted for the job.

Think they will accuse her of sexual harassment?

Trump not nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for his work to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.

Nobel takes another notch down toward fake award.

It is done, Brett Kavanaugh is a SCOTUS Justice.

Trump has altered the course of America for the next 30 years.

Thank you brave patriots who did not back down.

Our guns are safer.

Our freedoms are more secure.

Winning.

I will enjoy voting in a few weeks. Very much.

This was quite a show. Well, circus. I'm glad it's over.

Question.... Would any other President have had the cojones to see this through?
Much respect Mr Trump.

I love Winning!
