What's wow about it, 80% of Puerto Rico is white. She is Puerto Rican.
Are Italians POC's, are Greeks POC's, are Turks POC's? They are darker skinned than Western Europe, but they are still Caucasian by race.

Biden should have just asked the federalist society to draw up a list and picked from that.

and regardless of who Biden picks ( which won’t change the political
makeup of the court so who really cares), maybe the gop can drag some broken person out to say they were raped by the nominee.

Shows the hypocrisy of the R.
Yes, let's investigate - but do a real investigation. |

There was an allegation against Kavanaugh, and also against Biden. Should we investigate both? or only investigate allegations against republicans?

So somehow Biden announced this before Trump kissed the federalists societies butt and promised to pick someone from the list they produced or before Reagan said he would hire a woman  |

I'm guessing you missed my response otherwise why ask about investigating both?
Hard to investigate a President but if the SC nominee has credible claims against them then by all means investigate - and as I said a "but do a real investigation" not the shame the Rs did with Kavanaugh |

“credible”. yup. a very broken person making politically convenient, yet unbelievably vague allegations with massive holes in it.
Why did Feinstein wait until
the very end of Kavanaugh’s first round of hearings, to break the story? She had the allegation all along. Other than for political drama and political impact, what possible reason was there for her to sit on it for a week?
i don’t know when the rape happened, i do t know where it happened, i never told
anyone about it, i don’t know how i got home, can’t name a single
other person who was at the party, but i know who did it.
reeks of credibility.

Should have been easy to disprove then - right? There were lots of witness' who were never interviewed or contacted after they contacted the FBI to say they had info.
So back to your other post
it’s “hypocrisy” if the gop exactly replicates the democrats tactics. i see.
What exact tactics did the Ds do that the Rs "replicated" since it seems like the Rs have a long history of limiting who should be considered for the SC but when the Ds do it the Rs get their panties all in a bunch? |

"Should have been easy to disprove then - right?"
No, in fact. Almost impossible to disprove. How does Kavanaugh prove that he didn't rape her in a room at someone's house, 35 years ago?
It was an asinine allegation. The one against Boden, at least, was brought by someone who told people back when it happened, that she was raped by a US Senator. That's waaaay more credibility than Ford had.
I feel sorry for her, don't want anything bad to happen to her. But her story is a joke.
"What exact tactics did the Ds do that the Rs "replicated""
I said that the GOP should claim that Bidens nominee raped someone 35 years ago. That would be replicating the lefts tactics. |

Ford's therapists notes backed her story. Ford passed a polygraph administered by a former FBI agent and while not admissible in court law enforcement uses them. She did not want to go public.
So you have nothing. I demonstrated the R's hypocrisy in picking of SC justices and you have nothing. |

it’s all just a coincidence that after decades, the story broke when it did.
gimme a break.
“so you have nothing.”.
i have everything. The Kavanaugh allegation was dismissed and he’s on that court for life, and no sane person thinks he’s a serial rapist. I have everything.
your side assumed
kavanaugh was guilty and won’t consider that Biden might be guilty. that’s hypocrisy too.
he has daughters and he coached their basketball teams, and not a whisper about anything improper.
But Bill Clinton is a hero on the left. An absolute hero.

No, you don't have anything. The thread is about the R's hypocrisy in crying about Biden saying he will nominate a Black woman yet have a history of doing basically the same thing. |

yes i understand he was nominated. that’s all this was, a desperate attempt from your side to stop his confirmation. it didn’t work, and the country saw it for exactly what it was.
When trump
said he was nominating a woman, they had already decided that Barrett was next up. When Biden made that promise years ago, he had no one in mind because he had no way of knowing when there’s be a vacancy. he was trying to appease Congressman Clayburn to help him win the SC primary.
but i agree, there’s gop hypocrisy in being ok when republicans say it and attacking biden.
if biden knew who he wanted when he made that promise, i’m ok with it. making that promise so speculatively, is stupid.
it’s a smart political move for him. he’ll get a much needed bounce
from it.
there’s also hypocrisy in the left, for believing a crazy allegation against a republican, but dismissing a less flimsy allegation against Biden.
Paul, there's also blatant hypocrisy on the right when it comes to spending, they didn't say anything when Trump added trillions to the debt, then they go berserk when Biden does it.
Plenty of unethical behavior on all sides, sadly.

A majority of voters back President Joe Biden's intention to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, according to a Morning Consult/Politico poll released on Wednesday.
A full 51% of those surveyed said they support the president’s vow to nominate the first Black woman to be a Supreme Court justice, with 23% saying they had no opinion, and 28% saying they opposed the plan to some degree.  |
