What a weak ass call.

They need to give Mond a chance here to throw that pick that we know he wants to throw.

This shootout game my make a strong Grier for Heisman case. 500+ and 5-6 TDs seems likely.

Mark Judge just went on a week long hiatus to a place without internet or phones.

This is truly a surreal two years so far in politics culminating in this rapists confirmation.

The pay numbers only tell a part of the story. You need to add in the pension numbers for each of the fire departments as well. That is where HFD makes their money. Their big selling point to new recruits is that if they work with HFD for 15 years, they will have $1M minimum in pension benefits. Because of state law which controls the governance of pensions, the pension boards do not have to provide much, if any, transparency as to what they are doing and only have to present the municipality with a bill each year to fund their pension.
HFD makes big bucks off their pension. The City finally made some changes to all 3 pensions (police, fire and muni worker) last legislative session. HFD is butt hurt because they finally had to make cuts to their benefits (cuts the other 2 pensions had agreed to make in years prior), and now we have this referendum, which makes no sense and if it passes, will result in less city services because the City will have to either lay off firefighters or cut down on fire equipment.
They are butt-hurt because they cut benefits to the firefighters from their self-funded pension to sustain the other two pensions that were bankrupt because the City, the Cops, and the Municipal employees didn't fund them themselves properly. It's called theft if its not done by a legislative act.
The referendum spinning by the City is a complete and total joke. And like you I absolutely hate how the HFD operates.

This was never about stopping his appointment. Why? Because there is nothing a single Democrat can do to stop it. If the R's put it to a vote and vote party line, he is nominated.
They are going to put it to a vote despite Ford's credible testimony. They are going to put it to a vote despite the fact that there are hundreds of qualified conservative justices who could fill the spot better. They are going to put it to a vote despite Kavanaugh's perjury issues (both today and previously).
Why? Because they will get a clear political hack to serve on the Supreme Court once sworn-in. It's all that matters

The issue here more than anything is that firefighters negotiated a breakdown of salary and pension security for decades. For decades they took the lower salary/higher pension security approach. In the last few years when the Police Officer's pension and the Municipal employees pensions are dogshit by comparison to the self-funded Firefighters pension and are going bankrupt, the City goes to the legislature of the state for permission to tap the Firefighters pension. They take from the self-funded Firefighters pension to add stability to the other two pensions. Now they are pissed that Firefighters are asking for a pay increase or pay equity and trying to pit Cops against Firefighters.
For me, it's not about cop pay v. firefighter pay. It's about the City and what it did to cover for its mismanagement of the other two pensions.

Crying about conversations with your ten your old daughter I get. Maybe, maybe I get the crying when talking about your father with such allegations over your head I get ---- But the rest of the crying is coming across as insincere IMHO.

This freak show lays bare exactly what is going on.....
Kavanaugh is a political partisan of the highest magnitude. That's why Trump and R's are digging in and that is being exposed in some of his opening with his anti-Democrat rant. It's also why I think the D's on the other side have dug in.I would vote no to every political partisan of this magnitude on that alone.

His angry face makes him look like how I imagine a rapist would look.

The prosecutor is going to go after her at some point. She's trying to lull her in to a false sense of security.
She's locking in her testimony in each statement. In a few she's going to hit her over the head with any and all inconsistencies.

Holy shit he can’t answer a question directly. He also talks over every reporter, especially women.
User name is appropriate here.

We're emotionally invested in seeing this tactic fail. If bringing forth a string of liars after the confirmation hearings are over, none of whom have testified under oath, can bring down a candidate, it will always be used in the future.
Look, I can buy that argument when there is one person who hasn't testified under oath yet. But we are up to at least three now.

It’s remarkable how emotionally invested some are in Kavanaugh. As if the world comes to an end if he gets pulled.
I really just don't get with the long list of very accomplished conservative justices that they just don't go and pick one without this baggage.

A question for Texas fans. Remove yourself from the here and now, and ffwd 2ish years. Urban Meyer is Texas' head coach, and is hoisting the national championship trophy, after leading the Horns to a perfect undefeated season.
Still the angst? Do you still hate the guy?
I'm being 100% serious, but in order to answer the question truthfully, you have to focus on the end result, and not your current hatred.

What's ridiculous is not per se another allegation or another with Avenatti. It's that Republican leaders have known about this New Yorker story for at least a week now and are still trying to jam Kavanaugh through.

So in summation - Hamm puts out story that he's gonna flip. EJ also takes a trip to flipadelphia - probably lured to right that story by Hamm. Then within a few hours, that story is shown to be a complete and total bunch of bullshit as confirmed by his trainer and then himself personally.
