A crapshoot Op/ed. Unlike McCarthy, Feinstein has proof and a valid testimony.

And the gall of the idiot who wrote that piece. Trump is engaging in McCarthyism.

If this was a democrat President trying to appoint a liberal leaning justice, you would call for heads to roll. You are such a disgusting hypocrite.

Long before Kavanaugh was born, at a hearing in Washington on June 9, 1954, Joseph Welch, a lawyer representing the U.S. Army finally confronted Joe McCarthy on national television.

Welch offered a statement that ended McCarthy’s career.

“Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness,” Welch said. “… You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?”

It was indecent then. It is indecent now.

It was reckless then. It is reckless now.

Sen. Feinstein, have you no sense of decency?

Remember when the 1965 Grammy awards gave "Best Song" to "The Girl from Impanema", putting The Beatles as "Best New Group" winners only? Better than I Want to Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, A Hard Day's Night, I Feel Fine, even I Saw Her Standing There? Really?

Remember how Stephen Spielberg couldn't even buy an Oscar, which got to be so embarrassing for the Academy that they awarded him the Irving J. Thalberg award for producing in 1986

A list of Spielberg production credits:

(Remember, for this award only keep in mind his body of production work prior to 1987.)

Remember how the Oscars finally gave Scorsese a "Best Director" award for The Departed which might be among his 10 best films? (Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Alice, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, King of Comedy, Gangs of NY, Age of Innocence, and Last Temptation of Christ are arguably better.)

That's how I feel about the James Woods thing. Yeah, the specific post wasn't the worst thing that deplorable piece of **** ever posted... not even in the top-50. But for his whole body of work, he had to be recognized sometime.

Where is kidiot now? Oh that's right. He prefers morons. They vote and think like him.

More from Oklahoma... And the fact that this happens in America is ****ing embarrassing. Andrew Cuomo was right when he said this country was never great.

Meanwhile the Republicans say it's not a big deal since they will not allow the department of education to waste funds on such frivolous and wasteful things like new notebooks....

Lol notebooks.

Think chairs.

So a kid can't sit on it unless they wants a tetanus shot.

Trickle down economics lol. Kids can't even sit in class.

I think schools in developing countries, such as Ecuador (where I once lived) are better stocked than this.

Exactly. Republicans want to keep people stupid so they can have more voters.

This fuels ignorance.

Guess that`s another reason why the GOP is so opposed to helping the poor.
Education in the USA is mindboggingly expensive and the republicans are afraid that, with a better welfare system, more poor people could become better educated ... something that could cause massive losses in voters for the GOP (especially for the "New GOP"(tm) under emperor Trump)

Some reporting that she works for a pharma company that produces an abortion pill. I don't see any fact checking on that.

Liberal voters tend to be more educated when compared to buck tooth voters. Just saying! A bit of education would go a long way in this country.

Twitter says that this will make stupid white liberals stay home on election day.

[Kidlicious]

He basically got banned for making fun of stupid liberal white men. Stupid liberal white men really hate that.

[Kidlicious]

Twitter has banned James Woods for "misleading tweet that may impact an election."

[Proteus_MST]

And I thought, if the GOP talks about a Red wave, it is just another euphemism for something that also is called "Aunt Irma visiting"
