    Kavanaugh has been exemplary throughout his life. He won over the Republican base like I have rarely seen before with his performance yesterday. He conveyed the disgust we Republicans have with this disgraceful attempts at character assassination. I’m GLAD that he didn’t debase himself by answering the ridiculous charge from Swetnick and “lied” when asked to define bullshit teenage slang. The Republican Party is transforming to one that will fight you sons of bitches in the streets. Street battles between the left and right are going to be a regular occurrence within the next decade. I’m glad we are prepping for it with our attitude.

    I think that little bannation done scrambled this boy’s eggs

    Obviously there's some totally legal loophole in our campaign finance laws that let you use campaign funds for legal defense.

    Obviously, if I was the DNC/DCCC/DSCC, I'd be 100% running on some sort of ethics and campaign finance platform in 2018 that includes closing this loophole. 

    You fuck up, especially when it comes to misusing campaign funds, you pay your own defense.  Sell your fucking house if you have to, take out a loan, start a GoFundMe.  But you don't get to use funds specifically given to you for an election to defend yourself for misusing those same funds to give yourself a lavish lifestyle.

    Part of me totally agrees with this.  Our campaign finance laws are weak AF.  But then:

    “Speaker Ryan is not the head of the party. Mitch McConnell’s not the head of the party. Trump is,” the 50th District rep said to applause.

    A bigger part of me says fuck those donors.  Give your money to a scumbag and see what happens.

    Do the books ever make mention of what happened with the GI that killed those 4 guys?

    Spiers?  Career military guy, wound up working in the Pentagon, died in the 2000s.

    Sorry, I wasn’t clear. The drunk soldier that killed the Brits over their gas. He then shoots one of Easy Co.  Spiers orders him caught alive, then orders the MPs handle it after holding a gun to his head.
