If confirmed Kavanaugh should step down. https://t.co/UwsH52ts3b

As I said, this could be wrong. https://t.co/2HGW6RqECu

I'm not certain that is the right move. It's very complex. But he would have his name cleared, and a figure who might be less divisive might be put forward. https://t.co/oNQB2bRsC7

Just goes to show ya… nobody bats 1.000
He’d still be hitting clean up on my team!
He’s Canadian. He doesn’t understand what he’s talking about.
Dudes some squishy Canadian. That takes like 80 IQ points right off the top.
Peterson’s a true thinker. Nothing wrong with the thought suggestion, I just disagree that allowing the left ANY victory in this battle has positive long-term effects.
Exactly Mr. X. On what planet is giving your adversaries the victory after you’ve already won considered “good” or “noble”?
The hell is this Canatard thinking?
No more bipartisan anything. F*ck the left and their gender neutral pets. They get nothing.
Sure… anyone successful should just give up in order to make it easier for stupid people to drag our nation down to their level of Suck!
At least he is thoughtful and willing to consider rebuttal, but why in the world would someone step down immediately after the majority confirmed him? It would be a slap to the majority, and to the process.
Many on Twitter are saying UNFOLLOWED and they are writing him off. That’s weird.
I look to Peterson not to reaffirm my own opinions, or get my opinions. I also don’t build shrines to anyone, therefore I cannot be disappointed. In fact, I expect this sort of thing from everyone, eventually. It’s a healthy attitude.
I read and listen to him to pick up some wisdom here and there. He’s brilliant.
And then there’s this latest tweet. lol.
This one I will discard as worthless.

Casey at the bat came to mind when I read that this morning
Still would want him batting cleanup on my team tomorrow
And who could DJT possibly put up that wouldn’t get this grotesque and evil treatment?
Aaron Burr is correct. Mr. Peterson may have some smarts in some areas, but our history and current events are not an area he understands. We have been beaten down for the last 50+ years and it’s time to STOP coming back for more.
No more Mr. Nice Guy!
Professor Peterson strayed out of his area of expertise. Popularity has given him a big head. I’ve enjoyed his talks but had a feeling he would pontificate about matters he knows nothing about. This is disappointing but not much of a surprise.
Also, he is Canadian.
He’s reacting to the childishness of the Left. When is the Left NOT going to be upset, whenever a Republican does something?! All of a sudden, the spoiled brats are pulling at his heartstrings?
Canegro, please!
His big rise started with him saying “no” to forcing Canadians to learn 57 gender pronouns and use them as requested or be penalized. It is not much different than government telling us, here in the US that if you are accused of rape, and you deny it. Your denial has no merit. Both are our first amendment rights.
Either he doesn’t understand the Kavanaugh election and is speaking without facts or he is not the intellectual he has been made out to be.
The problem is that many people believe that if someone bought you a title, you are entitled (as opposed to entitled). Half the people in any group are of below average intelligence. Being demonstrably not (at least mildly) retarded, is not brilliance. I expect some disagreement that these claims have anything to do with one another.
“Well, we missed the iceberg, but we should back up and ram it for parity’s sake.” Jordan Peterson, Captain of the Titanic.
“Yes, Hitler is dead but we should let the Germans keep the concentration camps open.” General J. Peterson, Allied Commander.
“Although the defendant did kill his ex wife and waiter, we should set him free.” Judge Peterson.
It does a man little good to only debate with a man who agrees with him always. I read a broad spectrum of opinion to see if there is anything I am missing and every once in a while, one who I normally agree with totally surprises me with an opinion that I can’t fathom how they of all people…
Krauthammer was frequently way the fuck off in fantasy land IMHO, but he was more right than anyone else way more often than he had any right to be. Brilliant thinkers are frequently eccentrics who can toss you for a loop when you least expect it by going where you would never expect them to. I suspect he has his rationale and I also expect that it would be lost on me should he endeavor to explain himself.
After all the grief Peterson suffered at the hands of politically correct social justice warriors, you would think that after the Kavanaugh insanity…ah forget it. Gonna go watch Svengoolie.
Proves that what some President of Notre Dame once said to Knute Rockne, allegedly said, “The only thing dumber that a dumb Irishman, is a smart Swede.” LOL.
It may have been Fr. Hesburg?
You just screwed the pooch with me Jordan. Go Canuck yourself.
HIS NAME CLEARED?
These are liberals don’t forget. You can only be “cleared” if you go on a tirade against Trump.
How is it possible that I’ve never ever heard of this dude?
“…by withdrawing he could effectively deprive his more radical opponents of their selfrighteous moralism…”
I’m going to need to see the flow chart, Jordan. Straightforward from here.
Loco, ordinarily the guy is great. I’ve watched a lot of his lectures and discussions. He missed the bus on this one.
Peterson prefaces almost everything he speculates as theory. He advanced his argument, we advance ours. No harm, no foul.
My impression of Mr. Peterson and his influence/appeal is that his philosophy is based more in the pragmatic than the moral. Thus, he does not understand the pure evil of the gauntlet that Justice Kavanaugh has run. An imperfect victor should not retreat from the evil mob demanding perfection.
Besides, have you seen how Peterson dresses? That, and being Canadian… Thanks for your opinion, bless your heart.
For psychology Mr. Peterson is on the money but he’s not the guy I’m gonna ask about the misfire on my chevy.
Just like anyone else, we have to be discerning. I like some of what he says. “Meh” to his lobster ancestors from 350 million years ago.
And if Justice (I like writing that) Kavanaugh were to step down, it would just prove to the left that he was guilty. Bad move.
This is Peterson being a political whore. His publishers are, no doubt, democrats, and they demanded he use his considerable (current) influence to throw this moronic hail Mary pass to see if it worked. So, guess whose books I’m never buying again?
Only the most lame-assed, pull defeat from the jaws of victory, total fucking asshole would ever do what Peterson is suggesting. Plus, nothing would be gained from it because democrats are total scumbags now without an iota of honor nor decency.
Nobody bats 1.000.
Nobody.
