Like I said: Stop it.

You have kept me entertained long enough. next topic

Again I was just arguing for there to be an investigation/hearing on the allegations

You were arguing that he should be assumed innocent WITHOUT ANY INVESTIGATION OR HEARING.


You are proving my point with this quote.

They did? I remember them saying the FBI investigation exonerated Kavanaugh or something to that effect. I don't remember them saying they objected to it. I DO remember they objected to having the FBI do ANOTHER investigation.

Figured it was something of the sort. I think the Fins have the right attitude:

Quote:“‘Lift Every Voice And Sing’ is just a way to save face,” they said. “So if my dad was a soldier, but the cops killed my brother, do I stand for one anthem and then kneel for the other? This attempt to unify only creates more divide. So we will skip the song and dance, and as a team we will stay inside. … It’s not a black-white thing or a left-right thing. Let’s clean the whole bird and stop arguing about which wing.”

Really?


Miami Dolphins players released a blistering and powerful video on Thursday night in which they said they will stay inside for the playing of two national anthems before Sunday's season opener, and explained in detail why.

The players had said this week they were working on a unified message and protest. In the video, the players criticize the NFL for its approach to social inequities.

In a powerful moment, McCain suggests he's tired of being told to stay in his lane. "If you speak up for change, then I'll shut up and play," McCain said.

In the video posted Thursday, players criticized NFL owners in general.

"Either you're in denial or just simply don't really care," safety Eric Rowe said.

The players clearly express their frustration and anger with both the state of society as well as their interpretation of the league's efforts.

"We're not puppets," defensive lineman Davon Godchaux said. 

"So we'll skip the song and dance," defensive end Shaq Lawson said.
