Media Bias

[Spider-Dan]

I just did and I still stand by previous statement. They laughed and then started clapping after he said he wasn't expecting that.

...what?  That doesn't even make any sense.

In your version of this story, when Trump said, "I didn't expect that reaction," what reaction was he referring to?

You're trying to claim that they didn't laugh until after he responded to the laughter.  That's nonsense.

I'm not sure what doesn't make sense to you. It seems pretty black and white in my previous comments.

i just watched it on CNN. They didn’t laugh until he ad-libbed the “so true” comment. Some even started clapping. Either way ... it doesn’t appear to be a big deal in support or disrespect. Just like everything these days ... much ado about nothing except politics. Both sides politicize everything.

1) he said "so true" as an off the comment remark to his previous comments
2) a small group laughed at that "so true" comment
3) he then said "I didn't expect that"
4) a much larger group laughed at that and even started clapping.

Two questions for ya, CF, and if you could see your way through the political curves and give me a straight answer, I would appreciate it.

1) Have you ever seen any human being (not President, but any human being) who spends more time talking about how awesome he is than Donald Trump?

2) If you ever actually did meet anyone who spent that much time talking about how awesome they are, would you really want to spend any time at all around them?

2) If you ever actually did meet anyone who spent that much time talking about how awesome they are, would you really want to spend any time at all around them? I'm not sure with Trump honestly. His public persona is that of an ass but he seems to get along really well with people behind the scenes. As you are aware he was great friends with many of his biggest opponents prior to the election and really the only thing that has changed is his political status.

Look ... I don't disagree Trump is an ass and says some really stupid stuff. Much of what he says reminds me of "my dad can beat up your dad" conversations we had as kids. It's very childish. I wish he'd stay off twitter and not respond to criticism, quit talking so highly about himself in every speech and so on. What I do like about him is he does what he says he is going to do regardless of the push back. Popular opinion isn't his motivation as is most politicians. Although his tactics are a bit brash they seem to work out in the end.

So your position is that they didn't laugh at his claim (note: they did, which is what caused him to interrupt himself and ad-lib "so true")... no, they actually laughed at his insistence that his claim is true.

There's a difference?

Talk about bias. Feinstein just implied that the burden of proof should not be on the accuser? Up is down and left is right in liberal la-la land, LMFAO.

[CF DolFan]

I think his "so true" comment was an off the cuff remark about what he just said as no one was laughing at the time. He does this constantly and in almost every speech he has given. He is not a stick to the script guy and has been criticized for it on many occasions.

I've been reading reports the last couple of days that the never Trumpers of the Republicans are starting to think he is the man for the job after all. The way Kavanough has been treated has angered many including the democratic leaning Bushes.

I can't help it...you come across so consistently as a far right version of the Stepford Wives that I figured I'd go with the old joke, just to avoid putting a strain on your programming.

Has anyone been able to watch the testimony today? Just glancing at a few articles it sounds like she was very credible and Fox News was even saying so. What that means in terms of a vote, who knows?

[pondwater]

Watching it right now. This lady is a kook as far as I'm concerned.

But you just admitted they laughed loudly when he insisted it was true!

Or are you claiming that they were laughing at Trump's verbal tics, and that the laughter had nothing to do with the content of what he was saying?

I agree that Kavanaugh should definitely not be convicted and imprisoned unless it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed this assault.

However, this hearing is about whether he deserves a promotion at his job... so the standard of proof is much lower.  If it's 50/50 whether he attempted to rape a girl (to say nothing of the other accusations), someone else should be nominated.  There is no shortage of qualified candidates for the position.
