The same people crying that Kavanaugh is innocent until proven guilty are the exact same people screaming that Hillary Clinton should be locked up.

This is why I feel there is zero honesty among the conservative base. Lock her up was a literal chant at the republican national convention. Clinton had been investigated for FOUR YEARS over Benghazi and TWO YEARS over those emails, and zero indictments, nothing, not a one. There were more probes and investigations over clinton's conduct than we had for 9/11 ffs.

Yet were the cries of innocent until proven guilty? I didn't hear that from the conservative masses, why is that exactly?

Here comes rapey frat boy Kavanaugh and all of a sudden, everyone magically recalls that innocent until proven guilty is actually a thing in the US.

We could probably find 100+ posts about Kavanaugh/innocent until proven guilty theme in the last month, but how many Clinton is innocent until proven guilty posts would you find?

So please lets stop pretending this is sub is remotely balanced and has a lot of differing views, it is a MAGA NERD CIRCLE JERK and has been for months.

I sat in front of my TV and listened to both Ford and Kavanaugh, the man is clearly lying, he wasn't credible.

You do not have to listen to me, listen to the guys at Fox news say the same thing.

This doesn't affect my point. Again, acting suspicious does not immediately mean guilty. I don't like how he's lying either but that doesn't mean I'm going to immediately pick a side like an idiot even though zero evidences were presented, especially considering how easy it is to make baseless accusations against someone to sabotage them.

But in the side of, should he be a supreme Court Justice, lying, especially in that situation, should immediately be disqualifying.

That's not my argument. This is about if he's guilty, not if he's qualified.

But he's past any potential for criminal litigation, so the whole conversation only matters within the aspect of whether or not he's qualified. Getting caught up in other matters is exactly what those who want him in power want.
