On Pundit On MSNBC Said We Are In A Political Civil War Now

I believe it was on MSNBC on the 11th hour. I have said the same thing a while back. At least I am not the only one who believes we are in a civil war now. We have two faction in the Senate that now hate each other. Graham has revealed who the GOP is. If they don't get their way or anyone even says a peep they goo ballistic and into a rage.

but I just watched them on MUTE and noticed their facial expressions and body language. Those two are pretty fucking scary/crazy. They both look like a "before" ad for Xanax.

2. Graham's hateful spew

was directed at MY Senator, Dick Durbin. Durbin had asked Kavanaugh a question and received only silence instead of an answer.

Both of them were disrespectful to my Senator. My Senator is a gentleman who asked his questions in a quiet and professional manner.

We will not forget on November 6.

Only the Republicans were screaming and going ultra-partisan, spouting lies.

And yet the media reported it as a "partisan hearing" as if both sides were acting up equally.

I am so sick of this false equivalence.

Yeah, you keep hearing many in the media repeat that lie over and over

IF ANYTHING, Dems need to be a bit more partisan IMHO.

were professional and were asking the correct questions one in particular why the FBI was not called in, well we know now.
Kavanaugh is a POS and feels entitled even to the point of thrusting himself upon women. I wish these guys dicks would fall off.

The fascist repigs were horrible especially Graham. Grassley and Hatch a few others too. So this is how they are belligerent and darn out rude. Fuck them.

Everyone needs to VOTE IN NOVEMBER EVERYONE PERIOD. Or we will seen ourselves witness the fall of democracy and living in a dictatorship instead.

One side of America now hates and distrusts the other side that now anything that ever happen will now be suspect as partisan foul play.

This has been brought to you directly by Putin and their fake online social media accounts. The division has been brewing in this country for a while now, and today we got so see the end result.

I wish there was an off switch to the internet. Which is the bitter hypocrisy of this post


_______

Sure, Rush and other radio heads have been bloviating for years and years. But Rush hasn't been about dividing this country in the same fashion that the Russians successfully pulled off and in just 3 years.

The effects can even be felt here. I see the distrust even here too. If a person with a low post count posts something divisive...are they really just ignorant? Maybe it was worded wrongly? Are they being a troll?

The information bubbles that we surround ourselves with online will eventually revert us further back to tribalism as more and more things become affected by social media and the internet.

The problem that I always have had is that I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I cant count how many times it has bitten me in the ass and I still havent learned from it.

Was only for self protections for himself , and for his puppet trump, and now that is in jeopardy . Putin will threaten , and trump will threaten these gop Senators to vote him in anyway. They'll tell all women F. U. , and to men too. They don't care other than self protection with kavanaugh now.

And the right is shooting up the place, while we can't agree to set aside our really tiny differences to take them on.
