  1. Yep. I needed the Kavanaugh shares to grade and redeem about it 3 days earlier than they did, because my plan was always to take off of those earnings and dump them on Cruz’ re-election “Yes” shares. Price ticked up quite a bit in that span. I still put in a somewhat lowball offer. If I don’t get a bite soon, Plan B is to just go all in on “Trump will be the 2020 GOP nomineee”. It was around or just under $.70 last I checked.
  2. So you disagree with all of Kavanaugh’s GOP backers who believe that she was attacked at some point, but that she is mistaken, incorrect or lying about the identity of her attacker? I mean, you have heard that defense being screamed out for two weeks now, right? I can go find some mention in a WSJ article (that I’m not dumb enough to pay for) possibly if you need assistance.
  3. Based on the study, it would seem that weed should be illegal for teens, just like alcohol is. Other than that, this shouldn’t really move the needle for anyone.
  4. You are correct. I should have said “non-zero amount”. It’s tiny %. Tiny enough, that if it were up to me, he would just give it all back or whatever. As you noted earlier regarding J Street, Cruz will take any insignifican shit like this and run attacks on it. ETA, that in the big picture, it’s not a big deal, but I just have little, if any faith in the electorate to see through that shit.
  5. Love the self-imposed term limit promise. Not to nitpick, but Beto does take a decent amount of PAC money. It’s not corporate PAC $ though, which is what’s most important, IMO.
  6. I’ll ask the other attorney in my office. We just got a GIANT sign yesterday. It’s about 6 feet wide, at least.
  7. Some of y’all give the electorate WAY too much credit. The confirmation won’t cost the GOP shit in the midterms. General public: “Dems were really going after this guy. He ended up on SCOTUS. Dems must have been wrong about him and just being assholes I guess.” Thats the extent of analysis from the morons that comprise a huge swath of voters. Most Americans couldn’t name 3 SCOTUS cases if asked, and y’all think that some “judicial temperament” or”forced cloture without comprehensive vetting” shit is going to resonate with them.
  8. Unfortunately/fortunately, I have settled on the wagering model, known as “The Brisketexan System”. Basically, whatever he would hypothetically predict will happen is what I bet on. Only real disappointing result so far was Roy Moore losing.
  9. Finally I can get paid on my Kavanaugh confirmation PredictIt shares.
  10. Lol. I was wishfully thinking that you weren’t actually making ANOTHER “LOOK AT WHAT ORRIN HATCH SAID” post. negged for the “poors” comment, because, it’s lame AF, not accurate, and ignorant to think that you need a subscription to view WSJ articles.
  11. Attribute the quote that you pasted.
  12. Let me help you. Military personnel sign up and assume the risk that they may lose their life. Also, I’m not even convinced that some officer would make the choice to save $ over a person, but keep doing you I guess.
  13. Wait, so hypothetically, you would choose dogs and hoses over billions of dollars in damage?
  14. And he still supports the death penalty for the Central Park 5, AFTER they were exonerated on actual innocence claims.
  15. Maybe, but then again, these facts were known to Flake when he initially announced a Yes vote.
  16. The senators told her. I’m assuming that she edited/revised them for style, etc.
  17. Michael Bromwich is elite in these types of cases.
  18. There aren’t 2 guys willing to come forward and claim that responsibility. If there were, we would know their names.
  19. To elaborate: Mitchell wasn’t given the task of “go price this woman is lying”. Her task was “ask these questions that would make us look bad for asking.
  20. Mitchell is asking the questions that the GOP members have requested her to ask. It’s not really her personal belief or even professional judgment on display. No one said that she was iny need to be “neutral”.
  21. I’m withholding judgment until I see her question Kavanaugh (if she does).
  22. I think you mean that because Fox News is against confirmation, Trump will take their advice and act accordingly.
  23. I keep seeing conflicting accounts of who will be questioning Brett.
  24. Who gives a fuck? Swetnick did state that she saw BK in a line outside a room waiting his turn to run train on a drunk female.
