(22,052 posts)Our culture has moved into a phase where raunchy humor is now a disqualified for public service.
I've re-written this post three times because I know my response would be flagged by snowflakes who don't understand the nature of humor.
So let me say this: Senator Al Franken was forced to resign because of an old photograph of him making an off-color joke. We've entered an era of weirdness and intolerance.
There are so many reasons to oppose Kavenaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court. Is the fact that he heard or tells off-color jokes really the best ammunition we have to defeat him?

(15,543 posts)Kavanaugh is being pimped as a boy scout who embodies republican family values. But that hypocrisy is just another form of lying. He's a liar and a perjurer. On that basis, he is not fit to serve.
