What hypocrisy could that be?

[jlisenbe]

Giving Kavanaugh down the river on very little evidence (rich..frat boy..drunken bum, all from decades ago) but wanting to be Mr. Reasonble with Biden.

No, hypocrisy is defending Kavanaugh, but not Biden for something that happened decades ago. Joe wasn't a drunk frat boy, if he was I would call him one. Hypocrisy is saying no evidence against the drunk frat boy, and thinking there is against Biden, so throw him under the bus before any investigations.

You're checking all the boxes so far.

Guns and booze is American as apple pie, but whom else could you be referring to Clete? maybe you should check your own high places. Or is ignorance bliss?

Ha! Thank you for backing yourself into a corner. I feel the same way about both of them. If the evidence is there, then prosecute them. If not, then get off their backs. The evidence was clearly not there for Kav. As for Biden, I give him the benefit of the doubt until it gets proven. So how does that look for the non-hypocritical approach???

As for the rich, frat-boy prejudice you have, which is wrong in the same way as racial prejudice is wrong, how do you know Biden doesn't qualify?

We are more likely to have scandal regarding influence but there was one drunken bum of note, a GG who sacked a government and a Downer who was a downer for the US in the hunt for Russian influence

[talaniman]

Rich frat boy drunkard is a fact. No prejudice involved. Show me the evidence that Biden was a rich frat boy drunk and you made a case. I won't relitigate Kavanaugh though, as it's easy enough to review the archives here for yourself. I get though repubs want this as an issue whether it has merit or not, and given this crisis and questions of it's management a bit of dirt on Ol' Joe might level the playing field, but if the dufus can overcome his own words, antics, and allegations of women issues then I'm sure the dems can get past this allegation.

Plus I think you're just bored and ain't got no friends. 8O

Of course it's prejudice. There's nothing wrong with being rich or being in a fraternity, and I would bet you did some drinking yourself back in the day as did I. So to hold those things against someone is absolutely prejudice.

More bad news for your boy. Two witnesses corroborate the accusations against him.

No I wasn't a frat boy or rich, and I don't exactly hold it against him, it was just a statement of fact, but your two witness just say that she told them about the incident, one was a decade later. I'll just wait for the interview.

I get fresh air since the weather turned nice, and keep the phones hot talking to other shut ins. I got peeps everywhere. Helps but not much.

[jlisenbe]

your two witness just say that she told them about the incident,

First of all, they are not my witnesses. But you see what I mean? Two witnesses (in addition to her mom) say she told them about the incident and you just blow that off. Blasey-Ford had ZERO confirmation for her story. She said she has some witnesses, but they all said they knew nothing about the supposed incident, and yet you were all over that and found her to be "credible". Politics. Just that simple.

[talaniman]

What's your problem? I stand by what I have written here and before, and just like they aren't YOUR witnesses, then give me the same considerations you give yourself and stop conflating my response with the media, or what you falsely claim and assume are my words. Definitely stop projecting your own hypocrisy on to me.

Don't you have enough to do keeping the dufus' lies straight and trying to defend them? I said investigate the frat boy, and I said investigate Ol' Joe so what part of that is it that confuses you?

[jlisenbe]

I said investigate the frat boy, and I said investigate Ol' Joe so what part of that is it that confuses you?

That's your whole problem. I'm not confused. Kavanaugh was investigated, and the evidence was the testimony of one very confused and not believable woman, but you raked him over the coals and counted him as guilty. You even belittled anyone who appealed to the lack of evidence. Now with Biden, suddenly you are all about giving him due consideration. You had no regard for her three witnesses, but Ford didn't have any.

[talaniman]

Repubs also found Ford credible. Reade has canceled an interview on fake news citing security issues, but can't we wait for her to appear and tell her story? Her witnesses say they told her of an incident, and if that's enough evidence for you okay. For some that's not enough and her problem may be the same lack of corroborating evidence as with Dr.Ford. We'll see. I'm not going to jump to conclusions until I see/hear more.

There was plenty of evidence for the rich drunk frat boy label though. As there is for touchy feely Joe, and his acknowledgements since being confronted. I find him credible at this point, so bring Ms. Reade on whenever she feels comfortable. Or you could supply links that bolster YOUR credibility on this subject.

Fascinating though your pattern of comparing everything when circumstances dictate a case by case review. I mean you ignored the females that came out against the dufus, and understood his lying about affairs with playboy bunnies and porn stars covering it up with no remorse. Would I be a hypocrite for doing the same for Biden?

[jlisenbe]

evidence for the rich drunk frat boy label though.

Still with the prejudice? Disappointing. Prejudice from a liberal dem is even uglier than usual because all of you claim to dislike it so much. You dislike it until you think it serves your purpose.

[talaniman]

So you condone young people drinking to oblivion, while I do not. It was stupid when I did it, and stupid when Kavanaugh did it. I think you mistake my pragmatism about the Reade situation with your own zeal to pin a label on me. Cool since you lack the credibility to make it stick except in your own mind. That's not my problem though.

[paraclete]

Obvlion, I think I heard of it once while drunk in my youth. We fail to teach the young by making alcohol readily available under the guise of making it illegal

[jlisenbe]

So you condone young people drinking to oblivion

You find where I have said that and we can talk about it. Otherwise, it would certainly appear to be lying on your part.

It was stupid when I did it, and stupid when Kavanaugh did it.

Fair enough, but it reduces your criticisms of Kav to zero. You've already said there is nothing wrong with being rich or in a frat, and now you have to admit that his youthful drinking was no worse or stupid than your youthful drinking or, for that matter, mine.

[talaniman]

Alcohol was banned from the public airwaves many years ago, but that ban has lifted and we are bombarded with the drink responsibly by many brands now. Doesn't change the fact it's a problem for some more than others, and always have been. I think though the argument on this board is not about the alcohol, though it plays a big part in the behaviors of the youths involved, at least with the Kavanaugh part, but about sexual harrassment and assault by public figures. You have to be crazy not to see that this has been from the direct actions by our dufus president, who bragged and denies his own words and actions even with proof and gets a free pass from supporters. They held their nose and expect the opposition to hang our own candidate for allegations against him. They holler no evidence, but while we look for evidence in the current times they think they have enough already to justify the further support of the dufus.

Politics JL! Pure and simply! Biden's scandal or allegation of one, pales in comparison to the ones of the dufus and his ilk, in size scope and details over just the last 3 years, so no surprise you would rather quote scripture and proteolyze than talk about the flaws of the dufus. Easier to diminish, minimize, project, and deny, and ignore any facts that opposes your narrow views and agenda, and embrace a dufus that gets you what you want, no matter what he does.

I get you!

[jlisenbe]

You have to be crazy not to see that this has been from the direct actions by our dufus president,

The big four recently have been Kav (not guilty), Biden (only accused so far), Bill Cosby, and the wealthy guy whose name escapes me. Those all occurred before we even heard of Trump, so it's just another symptom of your TDS.

embrace a dufus that gets you what you want, no matter what he does.

Another lie. Wow. That's two and it's not even eight o-clock yet. You're on a roll!
