Democrats, please call a liar, "A LIAR"

I don't know Senator Markey. He's not my Senator and he seems like a good guy, but Jesus fucking Christ on a trailer hitch!!!

Ari Melber played him a clip of Rachel Maddow clearly laying out that Kavanaugh was lying about the Renate Alumni club being a form of "affection" for Ms Renate, when everyone of sound mind knows these pricks were bragging that they all banged her, and he asked Markey if Kavanaugh was lying.

Attention Democrats! When asked if Kavanaugh is lying, the only answer is

YES!!!

or,

OF COURSE HE'S A DAMN LIAR!!!

or

HE'S A LYING SACK OF SHIT!!!!


Markey, instead took about 5 minutes to say that according to the girl (Renate), Kavanaugh appears to have not been forthcoming

ARGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much shit do Democrats have to eat before they get fucking pissed enough to give straight forward easy to understand answers to such a fucking easy question???

Never use more than 3 words to say "He's a liar"!!!!!

I'm so pissed I can't see straight

Perhaps he was trying to be circumspect, or polite, or something.

He should have been able to say it without being gross or rude.

Phooey.

That's why I get so pissed when they can't even hit a 60 MPH fastball right down the sweet spot of the plate.

When's the last time you ever heard a Retrumplican hem and haw when given a chance to slam Democrats.

Someone should have walked right accross the aisle and slapped the shit out of Lindsey Graham when he pulled his fake outrage bullshit the other day.

Retrumplicans control all branches of government, in part because Democrats haven't learned the language of our current political discourse.

I think president Obama is going to go down in history as one of our greatest Presidents, but going high when they go low, ONLY WORKS WHEN THE PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH STILL HAVE A SOUL, or if they still have the ability to feel shame.

THESE FUCKERS DON'T!!!!!!!!!

My brother voted for President Obama twice and then went full MAGAt.

I think he's a dumbass for doing that, but he'll tell you straight up that he voted for Donnie Short Fingers because Democrats are "fucking wimps".

There are a lot of people that are sick and tired of being the only party that's expected to treat the other side with respect.

If attacking Dems for using words with more than one syllable is fighting, then I'm going to sit that particular fight out, because that's stupid.

If you asked a simple question like; "is he lying"? and it takes you 5 minutes to get to an answer that essentially "straddles the fence"... you're losing the argument

95% of the Americans I know would either walk away, or be convinced that you can't answer a straight forward question.

I think you're directing your anger in the wrong direction. I'm tired of the kneejerk Dem bashing. I watched the hearings and was proud of the fight those Dems put up. So what if this one particular Dem didn't use the word lie this one time. Who cares? He still called out Kavanaugh's bad behavior. Your snit fit reminds me of when toddlers smash their own toys in anger. It's pointless and does nothing but hurt our own side.

But we all do it in our own way and in our own words. You want us to be in lockstep like the pukes? Same talking points repeated and repeated over and over again? lots of ways to say he lied. Perjured himself. We speak to more than our base.
i get your point just don't think the wording is proper calling democrats stupid. I think saying his response may have been more strongly worded would be better than stupid. Its a good post.

I have friends (Thankfully the number since 2016 has gotten tiny) who actually believe that there are thuglicans who can still be reasoned with where health care is concerned They're what you'd call devout Catholics (I haven't been a devout/practicing Catholic since about 1999), and they try to see the good in people. There's no good in people like McConnell, Ryan, Graham, tRump who don't CARE if people/children/etc. die due to lack of decent health care. I truly believe in the power of prayer and am extremely spiritual. But, I'm not delusional or stupid enough to think that tRump/most thuglicans care about anybody but themselves, their donors, the richest 1% of white males & corporations.

32 states with Republican governors and legislatures.

Republicans fight tooth and nail with everything they've got. They lie, cheat, and steal with impunity. And the results are impressive.

Yes, we play too nice.

And honest to Gosh, I'd walked into the kitchen to get my Hummus when Ari asked Markey flat out if Kavanaugh was lying (About the Renate) thing, and returned and he'd STILL not been able to say plainly that Kavanaugh was lying. I was in my kitchen for about 3-4 minutes.

Markey's a good guy, but he's older (72), and it takes some older folks time to get their thoughts straight so that they can express themselves verbally. And sometimes, it takes time to explain things, but Ari asked him flat out of Kavanaugh was lying and it took Markey a LONG time to say yes. thuglicans can talk fast, gish gallop and it doesn't take most of them long to get their points across for sound bites/ads. Look at motor mouth Marsha Blackburn. Chick has a deadly motor mouth and won't shut up for shit. She and other thuglicans like her have been and are extremely effective in getting their messages across quickly & effectively. So yeah, I feel your angst

Republicans use verbal sledgehammers, we use verbal sugar-coated waffles, even when we are on firm ground. The Dem Senator took a circuitous route, he should have said in 15 seconds that Kavanaugh lied to a Senate panel.
