Why should your opinion matter more than some dude in Montana? Because your better educated? Because you live in a more densely populated city or state?

Fuck rednecks with too much say? They have the exact amount of say that you do. 1 vote. Are you saying their vote should count less? How much less? Your vote  = 100 % , their vote 50% of yours? Or 25%?

Get ready for more of dudes from Montana voting , some for the first time in their lives in November.

Dumbfucks in Montana have more say than people in California, NY and Texas.  That's the point.

Let me start by saying im a mexican american, its how I like to be called.
I was a democrat thru and tjru. I liked and voted for obama.
I could not fuckin stand hillary. So smug and full of shit. She just assumed shed be president and laughed off press conf requests and didnt really worry. The DNC fed her debate questions against bernie. Hell the thing I like about Trump is he says what he feels when he wants to. He changes his mind alot and flip flops on lots of shit. But he was not a career politician. Im sure he bent some rules or laws, but dont be naive and think the others dont. He said Obama spied on him and obama denied it. We now know its true. So he took a meeting with some russian hack for dirt on Hillary? Who cares? DNC funds paid for the foreigner dossier, but thats okay. See that’s the issue, its okay when we do it, but not ok when you do it. I see nightly how the mainstream media despises Trump and runs 100% negative shit 24/7 on him. Its tripue and no one can really deny it. Guess thats why I like him. Yes hes smug but doesnt give a shit what most think. Dems loved his money and fame back in the day including bill/hillary. Now hes some evil guy? Trumps always been a brash asshole and everyone loved him.
I dont like Cruz, but “Bet” seems full of shit and white people all happy that have a new shiny white guy with hispanic nickname is gonna take us to the promise land. Uh no, not like that.
If the Dema had just shut the fuck up and let Trump run his mouth hed be dead in the water. But constantly bashing him and not praising anything he does actually caused more folks to support reps. It backfired and cintinues to do so. Trump wont stay civil and just take it. Stupid fucker fights back with reckless abandon.
As for Kavanaugh the guy sounds like a dick. But hey at least he fought for his name and looks like he will get confirmed. I aint by Fords I didnt wanna be come out publicly bit took a lie detector and sent anonymous report and doc notes to the media and I wont release my doc notes to the senate cuz their private. Its bullshit we had to hear about all the yearbook entrys and if he drank too much. Fuck lots of americans drink too much. Where is the smoking gun? Ford said she had witnesses to corroborate her story even her best friend. All say they didnt know anything and the bf says its not true, then Ford says the friend has mental issues? I have 2 doors cause I was raped, but the 2nd door is for my google interns. WTF? Fuckin crazy bat.
Im sure Ill get flamed but whatever.
This messcan likes Trump and hates beto and cruz and is glad Kavanaugh is going to a vote.

So, your political decisions are based entirely on politicians' personalities? What do you think of Trump's policies or the laws he's signed off on?  Do you even care?

Literally? No. Have been accused before but testing was a conclusive no.

I see where your going with this, kill the electoral college. Basically you don't want to just count some guy in Montana vote as less than yours, you want to completely ignore it. His and basically everyone's vote who doesn't live in California, Texas , NY or Florida.

Your vote in your state counts the same as his vote in his state. His voice is heard, your voice is heard. As individuals why should your voice be more important than his? That was my point and believe me people in the other 46 states see what is happening and will vote for their own interests.

Negged for obfuscation and being obtuse. You quote a post that you do not address; you merely pretend to. You're addressing a person that wanted a thorough FBI investigation which shows the value he puts upon it. Your shrill reply is poor argument and only distortion.

[Brisketexan 105097]

The game is afoot! Go get ‘em Brisket!!!! I’m rooting for you in this game lol

Well, my game isn’t complicated. It’s rather direct.

 

You are loyal to a regime that has weaponized the cruelty of separating children from their families. That has weaponized lying to West Virginia coal miners, lying to them about coal jobs coming back that are never coming back. That has weaponized healthcare, ensuring that the only viable option for thousands of families is the crushing burden of bankruptcy. That has normalized lying. That has happily suborned and utilized perjury.

 

My wish and hope is simple. It is not for these weapons to go away. No, we can’t get that genie back in the bottle. Rather, I wish for the purest justice. I pray that the weapons unleashed by the regime that you cheer veer from their intended trajectory - the scared brown people, the uneducated coal miners, the struggling working class - and aim themselves squarely at you.

 

Because you support the mechanism that deploys these weapons, you cannot complain when they hit you. I wish you the anguish of the loss of your children. I wish for you the moment of seeing their psyche irrevocably broken. I wish you the loss of all economic hope. I wish you crippling medical debt and bankruptcy. I wish you no more than what you are happy to see inflicted upon your fellow man.

 

An eye for an eye. No more. No less. Old Testament style.

 

I am calm and clear-eyed. And I look forward to your suffering. Because justice.

No, you brainless twit.  FBI investigations that are LIMITED, by order, are worthless.  Any time you tell the FBI "you can't talk to witnesses X and Y, I don't care what reasons you might find for doing so," the investigation is worthless.  It's not about the FBI.  It's about the pathetic fucking losers in the White House and Senate who purposefully limited the FBI's investigation.  It's like saying "hey, I gave the ball to Vince Young, it's on him for not scoring!" when you ALSO instructed him to take a knee three plays in a row.

I understand that the FBI is under executive authority, but what I don't understand is how an investigative agency can be ordered to limit their investigation. Does that work in all fields of legal investigation? I understand not looking at things that aren't explicitly relevant, but not even interviewing the accusers and witnesses to the same, or related crimes, is really fucked up.

Just like to remind Brisket of all the shit I took nine months ago for calling for the hard left to go scorched earth on Trumpism as opposed to some measured moderate that will just coddle these traitors.

Because I don't think a USA that is basically run by the folks in 4 States is a better USA than what we have now. You want to see a divide in this country go to popular vote for President.

Just my opinion and not really a topic for this thread. I believe there is another thread about this on this board so I will withdraw from this argument on this thread.

I honest to God do not even know what you are talking about. 

You demanded an FBI investigation into the sexual assault allegation. The FBI interviewed everyone Ford said was there or could vouch for her story. They did. They came up with exactly no one that could verify her story.  If Senators had not voted to confirm him it would have been out of mob rule and not any kind of finding of fact. 

You are simply upset that your preferred outcome did not happen. That’s not injustice.  That’s democracy. 

His response is right out of the Liberal playbook. They agreed to the terms then bitched when the truth bit them in the ass again. They usd this woman as a tool to attack an innocent man and are kicking her to the curb now that their insane gamble failed. Feinstein should rot in hell for leaking her name against her wishes. The moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the left is a sight to behold.

This reminds me of one of the top five funniest internet exchanges I've ever had. On another forum there was some discussion on suits and footwear,  and this one dude who went by 27 Ranch got more and more absurd with some random 'rules' that his provincial haberdasher and/or maybe father imparted on him as the gospel. When confronted by basic evidence he just dug in more and more until the mods had to lock the thread.

It was pretty brilliant of the WH and the Senate Rs, in a Stalinist, Who's On First kind of way. Any time somebody asked the WH who was directing the FBI investigation, they said the Senate was, and vice versa. No one will ever know the truth. I guess it was one of Cheeto's minions (McGahn), like always, who was carrying out his orders.

You completely missed the point. There are ~1 million people in Montana. There are ~39 million people in California. And they both get two votes tomorrow. Fuck. Travis County has more people than the state of Montana.

Shapiro quoted a new poll on his podcast today.  When Kavanaugh was announced as Trump's nominee Democrats were +14 with women,  at the end of September Democrats were +1 with women.  Not Republican women, all women.
