I see a lot of Trump diehards insisting she wasn't drunk and her testimony was amazing and should be enough evidence. Everyone see's what they want to see I guess. As someone who doesn't drink much and has stood at many bars stone cold sober talking to a lot of drunk people...she certainly gives off that impression.

To be fair they have said the same thing about every single lawsuit that has been filled lol. Every single move is part of the 4D chess plan.

EDIT: I wouldn't even be surprised if these idiots claimed that Rudy's fart was an absolute stroke of genius and part of the big plan.

Yo.....was she just bitching out a republican legislator, the very person she has to convince to get their crazy shit done, while intoxicated. Hilarious.

This is what happens when you let people from the "Ben Shapiro school of winning an argument" into a court room. They truly believe that babbling loudly and at length like the president is as substantial an argument as actually presenting substantive facts and data. Turns out you can't Gish Gallop your way to victory in court.

The way she keeps rising her eyebrows and tightening her lips when she thinks she dropped a bomb... that's the exact expression of an idiot who thinks they're smashing it.

What is it about right-leaning individuals that leads them to believe every conversation needs to be a fucking argument?

"Can we have your story please?"
"LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHIN', I SAW'D WHAT I SEE'D, AND WHAT I SAW'D WAS FRAUD! I SIGNED SOMETHIN SAYIN I GO TO PRISON IF I'M LYIN', DID YOU?!"

Just... For Christ's sake.

I love how they act like affidavits are some kind of magical barrier around them that deflects all arguments and makes everything they say the absolute truth.
 
At this point with these lawsuits, it already to late to really change stuff when it was best to do them when they had the chance when it was after they finished the count. This is just digging a bigger hole on the GOP given that the people that are hearing the speakers are the very people they are suppose to be working with.

Sober Era? Let's Stay Sober OT

I have always found it helpful to create new "rituals". For me things like first water and a variety of Herbal teas help. Instant miso soup had also been useful. The hard part is being realistic about the fact that they will never replace the fun of drinking.

Why is this hearing happening? This should embarrass any elected official with a sense of pride.

Right wing media outlets are subsidized by billionaires to insulate half of Americans from "regular" day to day news. Political scandals and outrageous statements can be managed by simply not covering them or minimizing them with a spin; political scandals and outrageous statements can be manufactured against political enemies with selective editing and poorly sourced (4chan-esque) bullshit.

Social media has accelerated this disinformation bubble that started with Fox and Rush. Casual browsing of Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter for anyone remotely right-leaning will lead down a rabbit-hole of insanity that ends with Hillary Clinton eating babies for magical powers.

People like this lady are getting closer and closer to being the median Republican voter. Even the GOP reps that lament their death threats won't direct their ire at the source of this radicalization crisis because they love to use it to drum up votes for themselves or their own pet projects.

Look, ERA, I'll sign something saying I can go to prison and, unless you do the same, you will have to start accepting the truth because I know what I saw: the Dreamcast was the best console ever.

There's nothing more 2020 than the Election and Sobriety discussions crossing over.

Feels like someone who used to drink in college when she had a big presentation. To take the edge off... and because of a deep-seated belief that she's a BIT better when she's had a drink. Fast forward... let's be generous here... 15 years... and it doesn't work anymore.

These hearings have been a comedy gold mine. I've had them in the background the last few days.
There's one going on in Georgia right now, but it's pretty boring so far. No one is gonna top Melissa.

what in the hell happened to America? was it the homeschooling? lead in drinking water?

There are a number of factors:

- The proliferation of conservative talk radio in the 80s and 90s
- Fox News' insane rise in popularity in the 2000s after 9/11
- Social media spreading misinformation in the 2010s

It's more nuanced than that of course, but It really cannot be over-stated just how much permanent damage right wing media has done to this country since the Reagan administration. It's lead to literally half the country becoming brainwashed and feeling the need to straight-up fabricate their own reality rather than accept the one we're living in and adapting to it.
