    It's not a perfect predictor, but most 17 year old guys who get drunk and try to rape girls grow up to be pricks. 

     

    Also, most of us don't know 65 people well enough to vouch for our true character, much less 65 women waiting to offer that endorsement at the drop of a hat. 

     

    Al Franken had a bunch of women vouch for him. But he resigned over a picture of him pretending to touch a woman's breasts. 

     

    But I'm good throwing this allegation out and dumping Kavanaugh simply for his ludicrous dishonesty in not answering Kamala Harris' simple line of questioning. 

     

    It won't happen, of course. We're going to be stuck with this guy for 30 years. He has assured us he will vote according to legal precedent, but you'll be able to predict every single vote down party lines. 

     

    of course, the photos of Franken were taken when he was in his 40's...and the allegations were corroborated by the photos.

    What's terrible is we're in a time where every opinion is considered equal, even if one is from an expert and the other has no idea what they're talking about

    ...um, hopefully this quote is remembered/reused when necessary  :thumbs

  3. my dad and his friend were in Boulder one year, driving a class C motorhome. as they exited the parking lot, several Buffaloes frat boys urinated on the motorhome as it passed. my dad's buddy had been partying pretty hard, and exited the vehicle before dad even had it in park. let's just say that a couple of the frat boys' backs acted as "squeegees" to remove the offending liquids.

    I’ll never understand why the people who say kneeling during the anthem is anti military can’t even think back as far as Vietnam to understand how someone can be against an action taken by America, including by its military, but still support soldiers.

     

    My uncle served in Vietnam, and said he was spit on, cursed at, and had bags of urine thrown at him...simply because he had been "over there". A vast number of people showed that they did not support the soldiers themselves...

  5. Not many powerful storms hit the US during the Obama Administration...

     

    Gustav, Dolly and Ike in 2008

    Irene in 2011

    Sandy in 2012

    Arthur in 2014

    Matthew in 2016

     

    None of these cause the epic destruction as those mentioned above

    If the man has a warrant for his arrest, I understand arresting him when you find him. 

     

    But, give his wife a friggen ride or help to the hospital. She’s in labor for Christ’s sake. 

    this...

  7. I have watched late night news/entertainment shows since Carson was still doing the Late Show...(I started working a swing shift in 1989 and got home at 11:00).

     

    Hosts like Carson, Letterman, Leno always roasted the sitting President when they did something especially outlandish or newsworthy. I followed Letterman to CBS, and did not watch Leno or O'Brien nearly as much. I started switching back and forth to Kimmel in the early 2000's because Jimmy is really funny, and Guillermo is a perfect sidekick (plus I thought The Man Show was hilarious). Still, some good/some bad when it came to Presidential politics.

     

    When Letterman retired, I was excited to see that Stephen Colbert was tapped to take over...not the caricature he portrayed on the Daily Show, but the real guy, who I believed was intelligent and funny. 

     

    I still watch Colbert sometimes, and Kimmel occasionally, but I cannot believe that BOTH of them are 100% anti-Trump at all times. And I mean demeaning, libelous stuff for the most part. And Colbert does it every, single, night, for his entire monologue. It gets old, and I am not a fan of Trump. I can see how it would inflame his ardent fans, or the man himself. So, there goes two of the late nights shows, out the window, should you lean right. Well then, lets try the old Daily Show, Trevor Noah is more like a regular news guy...unlike Jon Stewart...oops more of the same. Samantha Bee? I've seen the headlines...I don't get HBO so I can't watch John Oliver, who I think is funny and smart, much like Colbert used to be. Bill Maher? almost unhinged in his vitriol.

     

    Later on in the evening, it gets a little better. James Corden still takes his swipes, but is not 24/7. Seth Meyers? Only seen it once or twice, and I think that Carson Daily has exactly .2% market share. I love Saturday Night Live, and have been an ardent follower since the 70's. The Alec Baldwin/Melissa McCarthy/Kate McKinnon lead-ins are comedy gold...seriously funny. But even Lorne Micheals knows you cannot do 100% all the time negative Trump (although, the skits with Don Jr and Eric are literally laugh out loud funny). And SNL's treatment feels more like a Lampoon, and less like a coup attempt.

     

    I do not watch Fox News, because of the same scenario only in reverse. Not everything Obama and or Hillary could EVER be 100% negative, as those folks would lead you to believe. However, that is the ONLY news outlet that outwardly looks to lean right. And I cannot think of one single late night talk show that ever treated President Obama with such distain.

    And you honestly think that's the majority Democratic stance on it?

    Come on man....you're better than that.

     

     

     

     

    and you (or Fru) honestly think that the majority of Repubs would advocate electing a molesting youth care worker to the Senate?

    I (too) hope you are better than that...

    No, they won’t. And if you don’t understand Fru’s comment you haven’t been paying attention to the GOP’s nominees lately. See the Holocaust denier in Chicago or the accused pedophile in Alabama who almost won the election.

     

    Also, are you another one of those people who thinks pedophilia and/or rape have anything to do with homosexuality?

     

    If so, you’re wrong, and please stop. Grown ups doing what they want to with other consenting grown ups doesn’t hurt you or anyone else.

    no...I am referring to the recent Reddit flap where claims that pedophilia is a "natural orientation" just like heterosexuality or homosexuality.

     

    My response to Fru was meant to point out that the majority of mainstream Repubs don't want to see a Holocaust denier or accused pedophile elected...just like most Dems don't want to be associated with the normalization of pedophilia...

     

    I just get sick of lumping everyone together for the sake of making a point as a zinger or drive by.
