Could be a couple things

2: They were trying it and got caught and now have to let things roll
What I'm saying. Thought they were being cute, then calls me a jerk when called out. Whole thing is odd.

Sure...which is why being a legacy is important because it's like everyone is trying to get into the Red Lobster and they let you in because your mom was there before.
That's why it's a connection. It's fine to have connections. Frankly, he was a fool if he didn't try to use it because, regardless of how hard you worked, Ivy League acceptance rates are low. I don't think he's a fool, I think he was saying something untrue to try to prop up his work ethic. That's not a huge problem when you're at a dinner party spouting your "I WORKED HARD FER WHAT I GOT" bootstraps rhetoric but it casts doubt on your credibility when you're still willing to do it under oath.
You didn't need to insert yourself either, but you still did.
If I was being cute, I would've put more effort into it and my response was equivalent to yours, and the others, in tone. We can take this to the other thread on the scope of the investigation if you'd like.
I think him lying about his Yale connections is the least of our worries lol. We know he has lied multiple times.
This scumbag lies about stuff like meeting someone from the Mueller investigation and will likely lie about Trump to safeguard him.
Dems need to press harder and fight this tooth and nail.

Congratulations, you played yourself.gif
What the fuck is happening on the United States
How does a tweet by a president have this much power
Fucking end this nightmare
Lmao, sure it is. He told Sessions to end the probe in tweets too.
At the very least he says it's not limited. I'll take that as BS for now. Reporters will continue to say it IS limited. Keep the pressure up. He felt the need to tweet because this is getting attention.
...and that is among the reasons Mueller was investigating his Tweets about Sessions.

Knowing him, he likely doesn't know what's going on and his staff made the statement to the FBI without even asking him.
I mean yes...but that doesn't address the point that these aren't presidential orders. There was a big hub bub a while back with the DoD waiting for actual orders and not tweets.
Heck the other view in that tweet chain is that it wasn't even written by Trump.
Oh my god tell me the FBI uses this as a fuck you to Trump and is now doing what they want
Does anyone find it odd that Ford didn't seem to know there was an offer for people to fly to where she lives to take her testimony?
Brew-skis. Agreed, he was doing everything he could to deceive the American public and senate committee that he couldn't have assaulted Ford because he isn't the guy in that scenario because that guy gets blackout drunk and he doesn't.

User warned: hostility
Shut the fuck up, honestly. I was referring to people shitposting with their pessimism, not just being pessimistic in general. Try to drag me and quote if you want if he's confirmed, but I never posted shit like "100% he is not going through, confirmed" or anything. You're attacking me for what exactly? Talk a big game? It sounds to me like I struck a nerve there buddy, you alright? Is your pathetic insecurity that you're projecting onto others actually not that stable when you apply even an atom of discretion to it? No, no... That can't be it.
People like you take the easy route. The route of defeatism. The route where you get to brag about being right but "whew thank the stars" if you're wrong. You know what that is? It's cowardice. You are a coward, period.
You're asking the wrong question.
WHY IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES *TWEETING* SHIT LIKE THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE
I'm going way out on a limb here but I think he's a dumbass but what would I know.
Squi is a good nickname all things aside
Manchin needs to make a play and vote down Kavanaugh. Really don't wanna hear about Moderate Dem politics in a red state and elections and all that shit...
Manchin is a vote to kill this. This is literally the last big win for the GOP if they get gutted in the midterms, thats why they're rushing this through so much..
Manchin needs to vote no, else he's fucking worthless when shit actually matters.

His no vote is essentially meaningless. 2 republicans must vote no. If they vote yes the dems want him to vote yes too.
Lincoln once received an envelope with the names of dozens of Union deserters. He wrote PARDONED on the back of the envelope and that was that.
Even if the FBI investigation is bungled and he's seated, I hope the democrats have enough sense to start impeachment proceedings against this fuck. There's so much evidence that even in the best case scenario for him, he's still a belligerent drunk, habitual liar and partisan hack.
On most college applications there is a spot specifically for listing legacy connections. I highly doubt Kavanaugh would have left that spot blank when filling out his application. It's not as if someone at the school would need to remember his grandfather specifically. They would have records of his attendance they could verify.
Is this a threat?
Jesus dude, it's a discussion on a video game forum. Maybe tone it down a bit.
After reading this tweet thread look again at this Kavanaugh photo of him refusing to shake the hand of the father of a Parkland victim. Really look at it and realize its a man believing this person is acting above his station.
Eat the rich.

Sounds like that optimism of yours has a bit of a fragility issue if you're going to have that level of hostility.
Maybe you should direct that to FunkyMonkey instead of me because it's actually a reference to his post from the other day. See below. However, I'm not the one telling someone to shut the fuck up or calling them pathetic, insecure, a coward, etc. and yet you want to tone police me? Really?
Edit: not worth the effort
Can't wait until we finally get a film on the going ons in this admin.

Incredible. I'd want a poster of that if it weren't so depressing.
Manchin is not a vote to kill this. His vote is meaningless as if the Republicans decide to push it through there is NOTHING a Democrat can do.
But it's safer to vote no in case you get a last minute change of heart from a wavering Republican that finds a conscience at the last minute. You saw Jeff Flake have a twinge of humanity on Friday. The same may happen again. It would be devastating if this nomination was confirmed because a demo didn't wanna lose votes in their own state.
There are strategic votes like this all the time. When the senate knows the Republicans have the votes for something the democrats meet and some of their members in red states then vote for the measure since it would be good optics for their less politically savvy constituents. If the Republicans didn't have the vote on that measure then those red state democrats would vote to block the measure.
Furthermore once you vote in the senate it's not final until the vote is closed, meaning people can and do change their votes depending on what they see from other members. Manchin can wait until the last second and change his vote dependant upon what Flake and Collins do.
