If there's one thing Ben Shapiro knows, is the intellectual level of a 2 y/o
rubypilgrim
way to insult 2 year olds. They grow up. He's just evil and living in the land of dogwhistles.
WowThatUsernameIsSoOriginal
did she try to say she likes beer a lot? I hear it helps.

Imagine if Republicans put as much effort into say improving infrastructure as they did trying to insult and challenge Democrats
bwgmon
improving infrastructure? can't be done, it sounds like something poors and/or liberals might benefit from.

Ben, who paid Kavanaugh’s credit card debt and season tickets? Should be a simple answer, right?
gsynth
Stop giving attention to this waste of a human mind.
DrankTooMuchMead
Will she be replacing Kavanaugh?

Vive la difference!
depressedscientist
“So easy a 2-yr old can answer it” Republicans confessing their logic and reasoning is at a 2-yr old level.

"Senator Blackburn, if I did define it, you might fall short of the definition."
forensicfilesbestofseason1
I think a two year old’s answer to that question would confuse the republicans just as much as a doctor’s.
Raeke
Even if their argument is that it might be relevant to cases she may preside over, the question lacks context. It’s not pertinent.
DonnaNobleInTheLibrary
Right? What's the context here, biological, social, lawsuit against health insurance?
diggetydug
Is this "the question" shithole shapiro is referring to?
BootsDusty
Yes
chrisckelly
Succinct. I love it.
graehall
And the inference of course being "And neither the fuck are you so shut up you transphobic clown". I love it.
OnyxTurret
Just like the convoy, GQP think EVERYTHING is in their lane. Jackson knows better!
BubbaRunski
She went on to explain in great detail how defining words is not her fucking job, ya moron.
BootsDusty
Hey Bubba, I agree with Ketanji Brown Jackson.
BubbaRunski
oh, I meant she called out the questioner for being a dipshit, I wasn't talking about you.
Raeke
I think the “ya moron” part might have been intended as “it’s not my fucking job, ya moron”. Just giving the benefit of the doubt though
barnsandnobel
I think a sociologist would give a better definition of woman. Female is the term for biologists i believe.
GiantSquanchy
Correct. Honestly, I think her answer played right into their hands. But, I probably would have been caught off guard if it were me too.
GiantSquanchy
Probably best to just say "an adult female." Then when they ask to define "female," you ask to clarify, "gender" or "biological sex."
khora
and THEN say “no”.

Just a reminder that he's a squeakier manlet than jordan peterson, who sounds like racist kermit the frog.
EroticZombiePants
I chose not to pay attention to this sham trial. What was the question supposed to be?
NeynasGhost
"Can you define a woman" apparently. Guess they wanted to either get her to accidentally be transphobic to upset non-bigots, or be pro-trans
NeynasGhost
to upset their bigots and inflame them against her (as her being a black woman wasn't enough to do it for them lol)
bullshirtdetectorinspector
Sadly, it's rare to expect a decent discussion with the GOP today. They have no moral compass and will say or do anything to stay in office.
myotherusernameisalreadytaken
Why is that cunt still allowed to use Twitter?
smashpro1
Because they don't apply their Nazi-blocking algorithm to the USA.
Tumescentpie
They'd lose a large number of right wing assholes. Which is good for us, but bad for ad revenue.
SpacecouchCowboy
Because of this particular cunt happens to be white and have a penis

Because his dumbassery drives engagement, which equals more dollars for Twitter. Isn't social media great.
Gababu
i thought twitter was just a money sink ?
EverNotRelevant
Tbh, I don't know about Twitter in particular. Social media turning a blind eye to misinformation and conservatives is the general rule, tho
Gababu
it is, but as far as i'm aware twitter doesn't know how to monetize itself for profit. at least that was the rumor a while ago.
EverNotRelevant
Doesn't stop it being "worth" $13 billion.
matrixalgebra
isn't *capitalism great
EverNotRelevant
I mean, yeah, capitalism sucks ass, but no reason to take the focus off social media in this discussion.
matrixalgebra
A coherent critique of Capitalism does not exist in out political narrative. The more we call it out the better.
Corrodias
Despite being an asshole, it's within the platform's rules. Of course, that's part of the problem: good platforms prohibit asshole behavior.
EverNotRelevant
He's regularly promoted misinformation, which is against Twitter TOS. But he, and many other conservatives (including actual Nazis)...
EverNotRelevant
Get a pass.
Unix347
The truth right here, outrage is profitable

Democracy being sold out from under us, and fascists are buying.
SirShmoopyofAwesomtown
Because he doesn't break their T&C, he's just a fuck
blaghart
He's repeatedly broken their T&C lol. As have you or anyone who uses twitter, the T&C are WRITTEN as an excuse to ban ppl.

Well, as I'm not on Twitter I'm unaware of their t&c

They were playing games with her. If she answered, they would have had a number of follow up questions to ridicule or embarrass her. She 1/
TheJewishSpaceLaser
All about the Fox News soundbite. They know she’ll get confirmed but if they get that clip on Tucker it’s a win.
PerthAussieMike
decided not to play their game by their 'rules' and turned it back on them by going legal on them. Which is the reason she was there

Doesn't matter tbh. If you agree that gender =/= sex then you see a slam dunk. If you don't, you still get a slam dunk from her answer

She was almost every relevant job possible while climbing the legal ladder.
KillerTofu615
She represented prisoners in Guantanamo. She knows things need to be perfect to be considered.
moffit
What I don't get is all the flak she gets for doing that. *Someone* had to represent them. They mad she took it seriously?
syntheticgod8
Yeah, they don't like her because she defended "terrorists". If these assholes had their way, there'd be no due process or justice or them.
HelloYouKilledMyFather
No, they all masturbate to the idea of Guantanimo used for Dems. It's all bullshit.

She asked KBJ is she agreed with Justice RBJ’s statement “that there are physical differences between men and women that are enduring.” 1/

Without context, the question is asinine. Also KBJ is the most qualified nominee in decades, the right is flailing.

Blackburn was getting ready to head into a transphobic rant with her question.
TheS4ndm4n
But what about important questions. Like does the like beer? And why does she spoil the white race purity with her interracial marriage? /s
Wyndynwyre
The right is hardly "flailing". Their brand of disingenuous chaos has consistently been beating Dems for decades. They are winning.
Tastesicle
Exactly - this is their game. When stymied by theatre, the line becomes "can't answer and [insert supposition here]". When answered it

The Legal definition of what a woman is can only be explained by and expert in that field, like a doctor
FiveShiftOne
It would be more accurate to say that she chose not to, and gave the appropriate excuse rather than going "because I know why you're asking"
DYLANLEE79
No the LEGAL definition can be defined by a lawyer, judge, politician. The MEDICAL definition by a doctor, research scientist, etc.
rubypilgrim
Actually, the legal definition is usually made by politicians. The judicial branch reviews laws against Constitution and precedence to -
rubypilgrim
determine if the law can stand. Politicians created the Voting Rights Act, for example, and Griswold decision eliminated anti-gay laws.
MechaNinja
Eh, I feel like any lawyer would have to cite a doctor, or else precedent, or it would just be testifying.
EveryBodyLovesMe
I feel like everyone here is on the cusp of understanding why it is INSANE that lawmakers are creating medical rules for anyone
MechaNinja
I fell off that cusp long ago.
usernameblankityblank
So if a lawyer defines it as someone with a penis, that's good enough for a court? I don't think you are saying what you want to say.
rubypilgrim
If a politician defines a man as someone with a penis, and makes it a law, the law stands until someone files a lawsuit and brings it to -
rubypilgrim
a judge. At that point it knocks around the courts until someone gives up or it reaches the Supreme Court, which ideally bases decisions on-
rubypilgrim
the Constitution and legal precedence. Clearly the ideological leanings of the judges leaks into these decisions.

I think it’s kinda funny that the dictionary definitions of woman(adult female) and female(pertaining to a woman or girl) are cyclic so 1/2
