WOW Leaks and Lies Exposed, Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop, India Ban, & Brett Kavanaugh Controversy Max Goldberg: I listened to Obama's speech yesterday, and this story around Kavanaugh, whom I was led to believe clearly thought the president was above the law, is bringing to mind something Obama said: Obama mentioned he has impassioned arguments with other democrats about how to handle the tactics of tribalism, lies, and conspiracy theories coming from the white house and the Republican party. They argue we need to fight fire with fire, that the lines have been so definitively drawn, the only hope is to manipulate voters who are not in the Trump camp to become as deeply and blindly entrenched in the Democrats camp as possible. It's the Bill Maher manifesto of fight dirty in a dirty fight. Obama believes, as I do, that doing so forfeits the moral high ground, and the way to win against lies & tribalism is with reason, inclusiveness, and transparency. I'm usually fairly aware of when my other sources of news are spinning liberal bias vs straight reporting, so I'm usually able to predict what stories I get with my daily dose of Phil will contradict or agree with what I've already read. I was unprepared for the Kavanaugh story. I just got through discussing with my dad last night about how horrifically bad a Supreme Court nominee he is (my dad also disliked gorsuch I was saying how gorsuch wasn't bad he's just conservative) and we both agreed the only reason Trump wants Kavanaugh is to make himself immune to prosecution and President for life Especially considering Democrat senators nearly unanimously seem to agree that's the case. But listening to what is actually said. I'm starting to think that the Democrats are using Kavanaugh as a test run for playing dirty. I still want to see his nomination blocked, but instead of reaching for a higher truth it looks like the Democrats are taking a page out of the Republican playbook by making definitive, whistle-blower claims and making brazen political posturing of themselves as the saviors against a government conspiracy. It sounds like exactly what Obama was warning about, like exactly the kinds of liberals he disagrees with. And what's worse is I dont know who is right I strongly believe in holding politicians to a higher standard, in engaging in domestic diplomacy and rebuking any and all misinformation campaigning. I want my party to stand on the moral high ground, because I can tell the difference, and I'd like to think enough people in this country are knowledgeable enough, rational enough, able to detach logical arguments from their emotions and capable of critical thinking. But liking to think anything is usually a sign you're deluding yourself. I believe that the Trump Presidency and the Republicans enabling him (NOT legitimate American conservatives) are a clear and present threat to the future of American Democracy, and since most people seem to actually use their opinions as their facts, it might be the case that the only possible way to depose Trump is with lies and misinformation to counter his own lies and misinformation. If that is the case, I support it, but I worry that replacing the lies of one side with the lies of the other will mean that the Democrats become a threat to American democracy by doing what the Republicans are doing: holding onto power at any cost.

What's up with the abortion still. If it's up to 12th - 14th week, allow it, no questions, past that, only life threatning situations. A clump of cells is not as important as a born, developed human being that could've ended up in a very bad situation not necessarily due to its own fault that you really can not even prove. If you wanna make abortions illegal, you better make that cell on your skin illegal too as it is EXACTLY the same as the cell that is about to form a human. Or is literally forcing someone to go through pregnancy because of your self-righteous, maybe religiously, ignorant, moral, warped conviction that it's simply worse to end a pregnancy than forcing a girl to potentially lose a lot BECAUSE of pregnancy.

I'll be honest, when I saw lawsuit and Goop vaginal eggs I immediately thought someone used one and it got stuck, thus leading into a very uncomfortable visit to the ER. I did not see false advertising as being the reason behind the lawsuit, but I still get it. A female can use items sorta like this, like Ben Wa balls, and kegel exercises to strengthen vaginal muscles for a variety of health reasons, but sorry, jade and rose quartz do not affect the hormones that control menstruation or anything else. That is some fancy imagination BS that somehow duped people into buying a really expensive piece of vaginal exercise equipment. Or they could use it as a paperweight.

I am a Pagan and do find there are benefits from crystals as they are a big part of my belief system, however goop should be ashamed trying to turn aspects of a religion into a consumerist product for the purpose of commercial sale. My beliefs are not a trend or a product for sale, it is a celebration and an acknowledgement that all creations from the great creator contain an energy or life force from the grass to the trees to the water wind fire rocks everything. I am always disgusted by businesses that attempt to profit off of a belief system that they are unlikely to know much of the history behind it

In particular with the Supreme Court I find myself far less judgemental. Anyone appointed has a long and illustrious legal career that demonstrates they will uphold the law, and political views and party lines are far less important than with congress or general politicians. Although I understand that it is not in Kavanaugh's best interest to oppose the president before he is successfully confirmed, I am unsettled at the idea a judge would not oppose the president pardoning himself or allies in exchange for withholding testimony.

On the Goop story: If a product brings harm to customers when they claim there are no side-effects, then it's totally justified to sue for lying about the product. However, if there are no negative side-effects and they claim as much, or they openly disclose the side-effects and you still buy it, then it is no longer the company's responsibility. If you're not wise enough to know that shoving a rock up your vagina is probably doing nothing, then I'm afraid the problem is not with the company bucko.

Sorry but it's really hypocritical to say that as long as you're not hurting anyone you don't care what someone does right after making fun of Gwyneth Paltrow and anyone that buys things from Goop. It may seem silly to you but people obviously find comfort in these products so why be a dick and make fun of them when you can just. not? Obviously there's a health concern with sticking rocks up your vag but the sprays aren't harmful so let people buy into it if they want.

The Goop stuff is so absurd I don't know what to say. As far as the Supreme Court mess, unless the Dems come up with something substantial, this is pointless and hurts their credibility in my opinion. There is so much crap to take shots at with the Repubs right now, without more, this could be a tactical error. Overall, I like nor trust either party, not even a little. This administration and Congress though. well, easier than most to hate, for me.

So they're allowed to publish confidential information on a republican but they're not allowed to release any kind of evidence regarding anything Russia allegedly did? You know, personally I'm not against releasing this information. But I'm not against releasing any information. I am in fact against any kind of secrecy. If there is something people deserve to know, we should be able to know it. So where is all this overwhelming Russian evidence?
reply

I disagree with you politically but you're not a liar and that means i can respect your opinion. Good job on cory booker that guy is sleazy and cnn wont talk about it so as a socialist democrat i appreciate you spreading news about cory bookers foolishness. Bernie sanders is the best chance democrats have to impress the american people in my opinion, cory booker is just like hillary clinton and other corrupt corporate democrats.
