    Well you can’t give Mbappe a red card for it but you can ignore the response by the aggrieved team. 

    i see your point, but my message would be "this is my field, i'll take care of it."

    doesn't matter now. it's over.  mbappe went from one of my favorite players in the game to kind of a bitch there at the end.

    It is??

    A hallucination!?

    yeah, dude, i mean, i know there is an illusion that the R base elected trump, but there were plenty of traditionally blue voters (ahem, union manufacturing voters) who swung right because of his rhetoric. he really did speak to a disenfranchised part of america. there was also the whole cambridge analytica shit. but, by all means, continue in this line of thinking. squander the opportunity to win the branches of national government for the larger part of a decade.

    the race wasn't close. hillary won by something more than 4%, iirc. she just lost where it counted, in part because she chose not to campaign there, but also because trump told those people what they wanted to hear.

    but anyways, the democrats are going to resist a reasonable supreme court justice instead of making immigration the forefront, because reasons. to be totally cynical, you win on emotion. there is no emotion more powerful than a sense of familial loyalty. this detention issue cannot be allowed to slip away. hell, the world watched with bated breath that thai cave situation because it was children. we need cameras in prisons, and if we cannot get that, we need to shout until we do. that means schumer needs to stop saying he'll resist the nomination with all he's got. that effort needs to be on saving children from fucking prisons.

    Are the Republicans actually divided over the child internment camps? How has that manifested?

    I agree that the Dems should do nothing but scream at the GOP until the GOP starts behaving like human beings.

    this is why i don' support an all-in obstruction on kavanaugh. the republicans are trying to score an own-goal with this child hostage taking, and the democrats need to make a much larger issue out of it than they are.

    Agree, I am not sure that a bipolar spectrum really captures well.  It's like there are at least 3 or 4 different dimensions in play. 

    i've said it before. the political spectrum is a ring. on the bottom of the ring are the centrists. on the right, republicans, left, democrats. then as it circles back around to the back, it's the fucking crazies. once you get crazy enough, you become virtually indistinguishable from each other. tat's a big part of trump's support. it does include the racists, but it also includes the alex jones types and the militia weirdos.

    edited to add, antifa and anarchists are back there near the crazy back end as well, just on the left side. one day i'll draw a diagram.

    The best possible outcome is stalling it until the mid-terms, winning the Senate, and then holding the seat empty until 2020. I don't think that's possible and I don't really care about the Supreme Court (as you can see by my almost complete lack of participation in this thread). 

    I just think it's astonishing that our Brilliant Centrist Brains are expressing disbelief at the idea that a fucking KENNEDY acted in a sleazy way to influence government and are so easily won over by Trump's anti-press campaign. 

    to which branch of the massachusetts kennedys does justice kennedy belong?
