  1. The Senate vote this afternoon will be an unusually effective voter suppression tactic. It'll have liberals curled up in the fetal position for months.
  2. I wonder if anybody besides GWB thinks this is really important.
  3. The last time we had an incompetent President die in office we ended up naming every street and airport after him. And lots, and lots of legislation was enacted by his party in his name - legislation that would not have passed had he lived. Expect the Donald J Trump Memorial Immigration Bill if your wish comes true.
  4. I don't see a problem as long as the attack is on the idea instead of the person.
  5. Donald Trump was probably the second worst candidate (ok maybe fourth) possible. Fortunately for him, he ran against Hillary. If the GOP is going to win again we need somebody worse than Donald to run.
  6. Check out the jobs of the MOST FAMOUS PROTESTERS in this whole drama - the Flake elevator girls. https://nypost.com/2018/10/01/look-who-was-behind-the-jeff-flake-elevator-setup/
  7. This is better than visiting texags after the Horns beat the crap out of the Ags, but not as good as visiting MSNBC after Hillary lost.
  8. We're talking about Kavanaugh. It's a time-honored test to see if he's telling the truth. You're a little slow.
  9. "Why don't we dunk him in water and see if he'll float?" - Lindsey Graham response to protester's question
  10. This probably deserves a new thread, but I'll ask it here: After Kavanaugh is confirmed, which of the fine people on "The List" should Trump nominate next? I guess we should pick two - one for Thomas' spot and one for Ginsberg's. So pick two. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Supreme_Court_candidates I'll go with Hardiman and Kethledge.
  11. Easy. Had Ford interviewed in confidence by the FBI. In early August.
  12. I agree. But it'll never be on the same planet as "Monica Lewinsky", "stained blue dress", "Presidential DNA", "giving the Oval Office a good scrubbing", and "Oral Office". As Jay Leno said, "THe Golden Age of Comedy is over", and "Comedy will never get better than blow jobs in the Oval Office."
  13. No. These people have all been swarmed over by the two mega operations (pro and con). Everybody already knows their story. There isn't somebody out there holding up their hand saying "I saw Brett put his penis in Debbie's face but nobody will talk to me." Instead there are people saying (in so many words), "I've got some dirt on Brett which I've told to 12 Dem K-Street layers as well as countless (hundreds) of Yale liberals, but the GOP Senators don't need cover from my piss ant allegations so the FBI won't talk to me., even with all the K Street lawyers working hundreds of left-wing media sources."
  14. If the Democrats goal was to defeat Kavanaugh instead of a generic Federalist nominee they could have easily done that. They didn't. I would bet the House that if Schumer had gone over the Trump/Federalist List of 25 or so nominees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Supreme_Court_candidates and designated a bunch who could gain quick confirmation, then they could have had one of those nominees. That was never the game. Any argument that this was about Kavanaugh is patently bogus.
  15. Correct. He needs to supply the name of the person who told him about the penis waving incident. Perhaps that person saw the penis. Or perhaps they heard about it. Heard about it doesn't fly.
  16. I will guess that he's had 64 pleas not to antagonize Flake, Collins and Murkowski, and he'll bite his tongue for a few hours.
  17. It wasn't supposed to be an investigation. It was a reopening of the background check to cover a few, potentially explosive pieces of info. The three GOP Senators wanted the people (e.g. Judge) I listed checked out. It was cover for swing vote Senators.
  18. The FBI was looking for anybody who had new info (saw) on whether Kavanaugh: 1. was at the party described by Ford 2. sexually assaulted Debbie Ramirez 3. organized or participated in gang rapes They weren't looking for random new dirt on Kavanaugh. Ford and Kavanaugh had already provided their potential witness lists. (Kavanaugh had none. Ford had Judge, Smyth and Kersey.) Swetnick had not provided any. I have not heard of anybody other than Ford claiming knowledge of an assault, or anybody somebody else says might have knowledge of an assault. Have you? Look, if there is, for example, somebody at Yale who says "I saw Kavanaugh put his penis in Debbie's face" we should have heard from them. If they say "I heard somebody who heard somebody who ..." then we don't.

  20. This is true of smart Dems Like Pelosi and Schumer) but not true of the nutcases like Kate Michelman. The special interest people go nuts. And it matters.
  21. He'll vote to confirm. The Dems will go nuts. If the extremists are stupid (and I remember a long, long list of such stupidity like the GOP with Jeffords and Spector) they will punish Manchin by changing his committee assignments, and he'll say "fuck you" and get a deal from the GOP to switch parties.
  22. I think Manchin will seize the day. And maybe the Dems will disown him and turn him into a Republican.
