Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The vote was 50-48 in favor of Kavanaugh.

Senators Collins, Flake, and Manchin had already announced their intentions to confirm Kavanaugh before the vote was held. Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was previously ready to vote "no", agreed to vote "present" instead so that Senator Steve Daines could attend his daughter's wedding instead of being present in the Senate to support Kavanaugh.

    Meanwhile I see use of the fasces in 1915 for the design of the Mercury dime which predates establish of fascism. The designer was a neo-classical artist with heavy use of such imagery.

    Wrong. Do you even know how to use your side's info networks? Google and Wikipedia say Italian Fascism started in, wait for it, 1915. Two years after Woodrow Wilson, the father of American Fascism, was elected here. When was the Lincoln Memorial, filled with fascist imagery built? When did the fasces get added to the United States House of Representatives? Care to revise and extend your remarks?

    This is a classic demonization argument. Sure, there's a lot of nutty people out there, but sorry, they're not normalizing pedophilia.

    Yes they are. You might not want to see it yet but yes, as World War Trans winds down and they are mopping up by shooting the wounded, adding the second P to the letter salad has already begun. The next battle ends when Roman Polanski comes home to a hero's welcome. He fled the country after being convicted of fucking a thirteen year old girl in the ass. (Don't worry, Whoppi has decreed it wasn't "rape rape" and since the check cleared the now adult woman is fine with clearing his name and letting him come home.) They want to normalize that, open your eyes and look at what your side's leading edge "thinkers" are writing. You are already either expending a great deal of effort in NOT seeing it or lying. Personally I tend toward the lying hypothesis.

    You are correct that pedos are everywhere. But one side thinks they are evil and need to be put in prison (or just shot) and the other side thinks they are the next frontier in intersectionality.
