I have nothing but the greatest of respect for women..
— Frank Apisa
Nobody respects women more than me.
— Trump
I've been referring to the way you talk about women, nothing else. In that respect, you two are twins even in your excuses. — Baden

You said Kavanaugh was, and I quote, "scum" because he, in your opinion, lied about what happened with his accuser. Biden has said these accusations are false. If they are true, you agree he is also "scum"? — Baden
The latter being more dangerous, really. — StreetlightX
If you cannot tell the difference between the two men - at least in-so-far as they're presented - that's not a good read on your part. — tim wood

Anyway, I'm done with making that point. We can move on. — Baden
I dislike both Biden and Trump regardless of whether these latest allegations are true. And the reasons for my respective dislike are fairly distinct, so yes I can tell the difference. No argument there. My point to you is that if you are not consistent in terms of Biden lying about this (if he is) as opposed to Kavanaugh then you are not credible. That's a fair point isn't it? — Baden

This is the reason the liberal media isn't covering this. It's hard them to come to terms with it.

Yep.

If I'm inconsistent you can feel free to point it out, especially if you're willing to quote me. Meantime, take a chill pill. Nobody needs to have a coronary over this. — Baden
The same for the similarities, perhaps with some difference as different. My notions of justice, perhaps in some cases being more severe even than yours, are not as Procrustean.There's the quote.
My point is that Kavanaugh is revealed as the scum he is, not because as a boy he did something stupid, but because as a man he's a liar, and the lies matter.

I'm saying you need to apply the same to Biden if he's guilty. — Baden
I had a period in my life after a divorce where I was promiscuous...banged any woman willing. I was a lucky guy...and there were MANY willing. I had no real bucks, but I WAS a bartender...and the bartender always has a shot at the leftovers. Yeah, some were skanks, but I've had my share of ultra-fine.
If you think you've gotten laid more than I...we can talk more. But you'd have to come up with some big numbers. Luckily, I found the right lady...and have been true blue for 35 years. — Frank Apisa
Why do you hold the DNC responsible for Biden's (assumed) nomination as opposed to the voters? — frank

More of Bernie's voters needed to show up in very high numbers as well, and they simply didn't. — Xtrix
On the other hand, the DNC was very clear about what they wanted from the beginning, doing all they could to stop Sanders -- including the rapid events of the other candidates dropping out and quickly rallying around Biden. Sanders also never had the media on his side. Now, of course, you hear nothing but how great of a guy he is -- but we all remember the hit pieces escalating every day as it was becoming clearer he could become the nominee and panic set in. — Xtrix
The rest is history. Now we're left with this shadow of a man. I'll be very interested in the VP pick (the most important VP pick in history, in my view), and what further concessions he makes to Sanders' voters. — Xtrix

I'm not sure why. Apathy? Jaded? Or not quite agitated enough? — frank
I mainly watch PBS and read the NYT. I only glance at CNN and MSNBC. I become tired very quickly of their strong emotional bias. They aren't there to inform so much as to cash in on anxiety. I don't think they manufactured anxiety about Sanders' chances, but I agree that they peddled it. — frank
He's definitely not a firebrand, that's for sure. Chomsky said a Sanders victory wouldn't do anything without a continuing grassroots movement. — frank
Can that proceed without Sanders in office? I wonder if anyone has asked him to talk about that. You're up there, why don't you email him and tell us what he says? — frank
just think about it: the movement continued after he lost in 2016, and it will likely continue now even more so. So we have the answer: of course it proceeds without him.
— Xtrix
Will it continue without him as a focal point? — frank
