I've seen Phil's "apparent donation" written about in a couple of places lately, but has it been verified that it's real? And no, I don't trust Relix implicitly.
He literally said it couldn’t have been him he has a lady friend that has been sexually abused and she confided in him because he was a big old nerdy virgin.
Seriously. I wouldn't trust an Incel with my DVD collection; let alone a seat on the SCOTUS.
Not judging, but just reading Mrs. Kavanaugh's body language as she sat slack jawed and apparently incapacitated by anti-depression meds during the hearing today, I think it's obvious they never have sex.
Top American Jesuit Magazine pulled their endorsement for Bart O' Kavanaugh
The Editors: It is time for the Kavanaugh nomination to be withdrawn
If Dr. Blasey’s allegation is true, the assault and Judge Kavanaugh’s denial of it mean that he should not be seated on the U.S. Supreme Court. But even if the credibility of the allegation has not been established beyond a reasonable doubt and even if further investigation is warranted to determine its validity or clear Judge Kavanaugh’s name, we recognize that this nomination is no longer in the best interests of the country.
American Bar Association calls for FBI investigation into Kavanaugh allegations, delay in confirmation votes
The American Bar Association called on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday evening to halt the confirmation vote for Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, saying it should not move forward until an FBI investigation into the sexual assault allegations against him can be completed.
so, you are telling me that the current illegitimate, non-popular-vote-winner, foreign influenced shiester con artist has more right to ram through a nominee than a sitting president did?
seems like waiting a year would be fine, no? that's the whole goose and gander thing, right?
He will go back to old job - but his decisions on any matter including sexual assault will open the path to appeals in any future decisions he presides over.
Being a bit melodramatic, and picking up from yesterday's Melty down ness I have a question and I'm pretty serious what was worse 9/11 or yesterday's shit show
um 3000 people died in 9/11 and led to the longest war in us history causing wide-spread harm, death and misery for thousands....uh so i'll go w/ 9/11...
I don't think an FBI investigation will accomplish anything except to help the GOP justify their vote. It might show that Kavanaugh lied about some of the tangentials, which should matter but won't. Just vote no and find someone equally qualified who isn't an ass.
Nuts - Thanks to all those who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton for President over Trump- the same fools who claimed that both parties were the same. How you like your greater of two evils now?!
Anybody who went public on the internet and bashed Hillary owns some of this.
Everybody who bragged on the internet (which reaches Michigan and Florida and Ohio) about not voting for Clinton because she was a corporate warmongerer owns some of this....you got what you wanted and actively encourages: a Clinton loss, which meant a Trump victory.
The fucking Green candidate bragged about hurting Clinton.
Just like Nader, the greens think that by electing Republicans, things will get so bad that people will turn to the greens.
Oh cool. We're still litigating the 2016 election and blaming people who didn't vote for Hilldog?
The SCOTUS was always at stake. Voters knew that. The DNC knew that. Hillary Clinton knew that.
But the thing is, Hillary ran a terrible campaign; and the DNC actively conspired to favor her in the Primaries despite that. Turns out, she's the biggest joke in modern American political history.
proud bernie write-in from south philly-i’d do it all over again as well. if we are playing the blame game, we all know what the dnc did (unless you’re still in denial about your neoliberal losing to donald trump, lol). the dems have no spine, they don’t learn, they don’t play the game nearly as well as the republicans-when will they learn that compromising is long gone? the GOp doesn’t give a fuck about what they want, yet the dems cave at every turn. insanity.
thank you HRC primary voters for destroying our county.
Sad day for the voice of the people. Every body wants a full investigation of Kavanaugh except those in the ruling class. The minority gets their way yet again.
I would support a full societal strike by the women of our communities until the injustice of sexual assault, and the treatment of the victims, is fully atoined for.

I didn't do any of that. I doubt that I've ever swayed anything.
Not a game, Marky. Didn’t say she’d be great, not even close to the laughing stock that Donnie is , choices of iphones aside. What kind of phone do you think Donnie knows how to use?
I think today went better than I expected. This is truly unprecedented. Flake, motivated by self or others, did a brave thing. The right thing. Maybe there is a chance for the system to work after all.
I'm a Bernie Sheeple: I voted for him during the primaries and did what he instructed us to do: Vote for HRC in the general. And I'm a Californian, so my vote doesn't really count anyway.
And really: Isn't it about time that we stop talking about the past election and start thinking about the upcoming one?
Are all of you people living in Alaska and Maine up to harassing your senators? (is that the wrong word to use???)
The DNC didn’t sell anyone out. It was their game and they wrote the stupid and annoying rules, long before the 2016 election. If anyone sold anyone out, it was Bernie, jumping into a race that he knew he could never win. It was all about super delegates, and he knew it. His supporters, full of high hopes and idealism, didn’t.
On the upside, everyone now knows about it, and maybe they’ll get rid of the system. If they don’t, and Bernie runs again, people can’t blame the DNC when their man doesn’t win. Only a Democratic stalwart can get win with super delegates, and he’s an Independent.
Either way, it wasn’t the people who voted for Bernie or Trump or Stein. It was the 40+% who didn’t vote at all.
The real wins for the Republicans are a Federalist Supreme Court for the next 30 years, and they have fractured liberals to the point that they are still playing a stupid blame game.
On Thursday, the Los Angeles Times published an interview in which Sanders suggested that superdelegates — the 712 elite party leaders and insiders who can support whichever candidate they want at the Democratic National Convention — should tip the nomination in his favor.
Sanders is being soundly beaten by Clinton among the "pledged" delegates whose support is determined by the popular vote, so turning to superdelegates may be his only option. But it's still a surprising tack to hear him take.
Here's what Sanders told the LA Times:
I would fully concede that we have a narrow path to victory. Your point is well taken. But it is a path. And the only thing that I would add to the arithmetic that we could all agree: Arithmetic is arithmetic, is momentum.
And it is also the fact that many super delegates have not yet declared, that’s number one. Number two, for the super delegates and others who have declared, as I said long ago, the key issue, you know, people like Hillary Clinton more than me. That’s fine. But what people are most concerned of in the world that I live in is that a Republican not get into the White House. I think we can demonstrably make the case, and I say this without one second of hesitation, that I am the stronger candidate.
(Sanders first alluded to a superdelegate strategy last week, but his remarks to the LA Times make those intentions much more explicit.)
There are a number of reasons it's strange to see Sanders turn to the superdelegates to save his candidacy.
The first is that Clinton has had a tremendous advantage among superdelegates since before voting began, and it seems exceedingly unlikely that — barring some unseen event — they'll now suddenly change their minds and back him.
The second reason is that for months leading up to the primary, Sanders's supporters have argued that the superdelegates should be ignored as an undemocratic usurpation of the popular will.
"[The] idea is if you're a super delegate, we want to make sure that you understand that the grassroots base of the Democratic party wants you to support the will of the party electorate," one MoveOn.org official, arguing against superdelegates, told Politico after Sanders won New Hampshire.
That argument makes sense: The superdelegate system really could be used as an unfair way of taking the primary out of the hands of the voters if they supported a candidate other than the one chosen by the democratic primary process. Sanders's supporters had to hope that if the primary electorate spoke clearly for Sanders, the superdelegates would agree to listen.
But just the opposite has happened. Clinton has received over 2 million more votes than Sanders — she's gotten 8.9 million to his 6.3 million. She has a pledged delegate lead of about 300.
Asking the superdelegates to now overturn that verdict because of a shaky argument about Sanders's general election viability seems like a stretch at best. As MSNBC's Steve Benen notes: "The fact that Sanders and his team are thinking along these lines is itself striking – and the sort of strategy his progressive backers may find difficult to explain after months of making the exact opposite argument."
what is the context of that picture? are they out on date? is it an event with many unrelated people who happen to be standing around in the same room while photographs are being taken?
how would you compare it too jill stein in russia, at an event honoring russian state controlled media, sitting at a table with assorted scumbags?
I was thinking about how Brett declared that he was a Virgin, and it's possible he was telling the truth.
Now, don't get me wrong, he's guilty of sexual assault and tried to board the Renate train but was so drunk he had limp dick...Brett likely still suffers from erectile dysfunction. Hey, if he doesn't get the job, he could make some commercials for Viagra.
Who said that, nancy? I posted a photo of Putin whispering something in her ear. Are you saying that photo is damning, or staged? I'd like to know what he was whispering to her. Maybe "The Pied Piper story ends with him stealing all the children of the village and they're never seen again".
Trump is a pathological liar and we now know that Kavanaugh has lied his way through his confirmation hearings for his federal judgeship and now for the Supreme Court
>>>>Another fiscal conservative Republican with disappearing debt to boot.
Fiscal conservative Republicans no such thing anymore
as for disappearing debt the back story said it was family money which doesn't have to be reported. Then why didn't they retire the debt sooner which would have been more fiscally conservative???
Democrat Diane Feinstein took questions from all republicans on the JC about the leak and who leak it. Dingbat Feinstein said she never asked her staff if they leaked it even though early on they denied it via twitter maybe unbeknownst to rich jetsetter Feinstein. Feinstein took all questions from the GOP on the leak but (R) Grassley ignored a shit tone of democratic senators questions only acknowledging letters entered into the record.
They do have a lot in common - both narcissists, both raised as entitled spoiled brats, both sexual offenders, both immature, both serial liars, both bullies, both cry babies. Only difference is that Kavanaugh is better educated with more degrees. Probably somewhat more knowledgeable about the law than Trump. Trump is a dry drunk, Kavanaugh is just a drunk. They both have the cocaine sniffles.
Well, since POTUS and SCOTUS both are powerful and influential positions it makes sense that people and the media are going to take notice and give them plenty of attention. particularly when they’re unfit for their respective (prospective) jobs, and when one job is a lifetime appointment.
hillman, if you are talking about Keith Ellison, I must admit that I hadn't heard about these allegations. Some famous Minnesotan dems certainly seem to have some problems with alleged sexual abuse scandals. Non es bueno.
I believe the words we are looking for today are :
Thank you, Bernie !!
$15/ hr minimum.
Now, I seem to remember someone referring to this as "ponies" promised by Bernie.
Where are the conservatives who said Bernie was too dangerous to business and Corporate Democrats that said he was too extreme and not practical enough now?
Mrs. Clinton has unveiled a raft of policy proposals detailing increased spending on everything from job training and community college education to broadband networks, infrastructure, and clean energy. She has backed efforts to raise the federal minimum wage, to overhaul immigration laws, and to boost women’s workforce participation by backing efforts to improve paid leave and access to child care.
She has also promoted using the tax code to provide breaks for companies that improve employee profit-sharing while raising taxes on upper-income Americans and taxing so-called carried interest earned by investors as regular income.
"President Trump went through a factual rendition that I didn’t particularly like and I would tell him to knock it off," Graham said. "You’re not helping."
He added, "But it can be worse, you can actually kill somebody’s cat and puncture their tires to get them to shut up," a reference, he said, to Bill Clinton accuser Kathleen Willey's past claims that someone killed her cat and slashed her tires.
Nobody is moving to $15 wages because they’ve been watching all the progressive rallies and they’re suddenly getting woke. They’re doing it because it’s the only way to attract workers.
this is awesome: a list of over 1000 (and counting) Law Professors who don't think Kavanaugh should be appointed. Every big law school seems to be represented. It was 600 names only a few hours ago.
I don't either...By keeping drinking out of this they won't look into whether he lied about it during the hearing. He's in but his legacy is tarnished. I've had Kavenough.
Well I dont think it will impact the outcome. But both the PGOTUS and O'kav are alum of some of these schools. Many profs are the experts that guide our future leaders and I appreciate the grassroots nature of this effort. BTW, its up to 1700 names. They are putting themselves out there and all agree that he does not have the temperament to be on the SCOTUS. I'd also suggest that many of these profs clerked for future Justices or have brought cases before them. Their opinion SHOULD carry a lot of weight, but I agree it most likely wont.
If anything the last 24 months has shown, even the pretense of traditional notions of decency, fair play, and ethics simply has no place in modern politics. Lindsey Graham said it best in his explosive tirade at last week's hearing:
"Boy, you all want power. God, I hope you never get it."
That's what it all comes down to folks and the GOP will not give up an opportunity to have a solid conservative majority on the court for the next generation and will spare nothing to keep that from slipping through their hands.
I don't envy Flake, Collins, and Murkowski. Fair or not, it all appears to be on each of their shoulders.
I've been using a judicious temperament this morning, pointing out to my children that they are witnessing history in the making, no matter which way this confirmation attempt ends up going.
<<<<Nobody is moving to $15 wages because they’ve been watching all the progressive rallies and they’re suddenly getting woke. They’re doing it because it’s the only way to attract workers.
Kavanaugh will easily get confirmed and I think he will even get a few Dem votes when it is all said and done. In the end I think it’s a good thing. In my mind the only thing that matters is winning the house. It changes the whole playing field. Kavanaugh getting confirmed will energize dems to vote like nothing else. If Kavanaugh didn’t make it he would have been replaced with someone with the same views. With Kavanaugh on the bench it will focus people’s attention on every 5-4 vote.
Of course there is nothing in the Constitution that says the Supreme Court has to be 9 justices. No reason dems can’t increase it to 11 once they are back in power.
Oh and Bezos cares as much about the optics of his workers collecting government benefits as all of us care about the billion people who walk more than a mile a day for water.
I wonder if FBI report contained information about witnesses disappearing debt over the last two years with Trump's love of hush money. I guarantee his buddy Mark Judge has been payed hush money for years fueling his addictions.
Agree Ken but SCOTUS term limits will enter the conversation.
“I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Ark. Attorney General raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73....it never goes away,” Broaddrick had tweeted on Jan. 6, during the Democratic primary season.
Huge difference between an ELECTED position and a LIFETIME appointment.
Kavanaugh is not fit for the job, and your defense of him getting the job is ..but Clinton?! Damn, that's just so fucking stupid. There's a pizza parlor missing a village idiot.
It's always been my position that SCOTUS appointments should be for, say, 16 years - twice a president's two terms, rather than lifetime - that's just too long in today's rapidly changing world.
>>>>Kavanaugh is not fit for the job, and your defense of him getting the job is ..but Clinton?! Damn, that's just so fucking stupid. There's a pizza parlor missing a village idiot.
Sorry, I don't like to be rude to people but this is right on the money. So Bill Clinton is a disgusting pile of shit. So what? How is that even remotely relevant when discussing whether or not Kavanaugh should be a SCOTUS Justice?
And like Pyramid said, why is it so hard for Republicans to just come out and say that Kavanaugh is a disgusting piece of shit? If 20 years ago you would have told me that the Repubs are bending over backwards today to defend a nominee who spits in the face of everything that was once considered decency and family values, I would have laughed in your face. Not that any band of political thieves was ever clean or decent, but the Repubs USED to make a big fuss about family values. It's clear now that they only ever cared about power and shoving a biblical agenda down peoples' throats.
Mind you, I have no greater respect for the Democrats who are just as weasely and disgusting, IMO. It just happens that right now Comrade Trump is shitting all over the decency of modern democracy, ergo, he and his minions are in the spotlight at the moment...
Well, I used to think that the Supreme Court was a thing. Now that we've ralphed all over it, I really don't care what happens to this country. Call all the troops home, disband the military, this place isn't worth defending. We need to start over and the sooner we stop hanging on to nostalgia the sooner we can get to the next chapter.
lol, nancy wtf are you blathering about? i’m wasn’t defending kavanaugh getting the job w/ “but clinton”. what? i was reasserting that bill clinton is indeed a piece of shit, in response to what lassen posted-and well, so what? clinton is done. kavanaugh is what we are discussing, and he is obviously a disgusting human and completely not fit to serve. and anyone that doesn’t believe dr. blasey ford, imo, is a fucked up person.
i was asking why republicans can’t call out sexual predators, kick em to the curb, and do the right fucking thing.
I am sickened, disgusted, sad, infuriated, you name it, at the wanton disregard for all of us, women especially, shown by Kavanaugh and everyone who voted to take his nomination to the full Senate.
GOP thanks for the educated women voting Democratic for a generation or two. GOP good luck getting all those MAGA woman who like to snort pills off the back of a bar room toilet to turn out.

Practical, really? I am so ashamed of the majority who voted to approve a lying belligerent bully, a man who thinks his shit doesn't stink. Yet again. I'm so pleased that my Senators, Merkley and Wyden voted no and that Senator Merkley has worked diligently to restore human rights to children seized from their parents, for women and men, for the dignity of all.
Mitch McConnell abuses filibuster rule while in the minority to block Obama's judges forces Harry Reid to remove filibuster rule for lower court judges and Mitch said, "Don't and that it will come back to haunt you" which was his plan all along. Then when Mitch becomes senate majority head filibuster is gone for SCOTUS and GOP rams judge Kavanaugh through by mob rule.

American Bar Association calls for FBI investigation into Kavanaugh allegations, delay in confirmation votes
The American Bar Association called on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday evening to halt the confirmation vote for Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, saying it should not move forward until an FBI investigation into the sexual assault allegations against him can be completed.

He also is the highest ranking politician to serve a prison sentence.
It took DECADES (more than 3) for his crimes to come out and he went to prison.
He was investigated by the FBI for bank fraud, which led to accusations from 3 former students of molestation.
No wonder why the Republicans don't want a FBI Investigation.

The DNC didn’t sell anyone
The DNC didn’t sell anyone out. It was their game and they wrote the stupid and annoying rules, long before the 2016 election. If anyone sold anyone out, it was Bernie, jumping into a race that he knew he could never win. It was all about super delegates, and he knew it. His supporters, full of high hopes and idealism, didn’t.
On the upside, everyone now knows about it, and maybe they’ll get rid of the system. If they don’t, and Bernie runs again, people can’t blame the DNC when their man doesn’t win. Only a Democratic stalwart can get win with super delegates, and he’s an Independent.
Either way, it wasn’t the people who voted for Bernie or Trump or Stein. It was the 40+% who didn’t vote at all.
The real wins for the Republicans are a Federalist Supreme Court for the next 30 years, and they have fractured liberals to the point that they are still playing a stupid blame game.

https://www.vox.com/2016/3/25
https://www.vox.com/2016/3/25/11305780/sanders-superdelegates
On Thursday, the Los Angeles Times published an interview in which Sanders suggested that superdelegates — the 712 elite party leaders and insiders who can support whichever candidate they want at the Democratic National Convention — should tip the nomination in his favor.
Sanders is being soundly beaten by Clinton among the "pledged" delegates whose support is determined by the popular vote, so turning to superdelegates may be his only option. But it's still a surprising tack to hear him take.
Here's what Sanders told the LA Times:
I would fully concede that we have a narrow path to victory. Your point is well taken. But it is a path. And the only thing that I would add to the arithmetic that we could all agree: Arithmetic is arithmetic, is momentum.
And it is also the fact that many super delegates have not yet declared, that’s number one. Number two, for the super delegates and others who have declared, as I said long ago, the key issue, you know, people like Hillary Clinton more than me. That’s fine. But what people are most concerned of in the world that I live in is that a Republican not get into the White House. I think we can demonstrably make the case, and I say this without one second of hesitation, that I am the stronger candidate.
(Sanders first alluded to a superdelegate strategy last week, but his remarks to the LA Times make those intentions much more explicit.)
There are a number of reasons it's strange to see Sanders turn to the superdelegates to save his candidacy.
The first is that Clinton has had a tremendous advantage among superdelegates since before voting began, and it seems exceedingly unlikely that — barring some unseen event — they'll now suddenly change their minds and back him.
The second reason is that for months leading up to the primary, Sanders's supporters have argued that the superdelegates should be ignored as an undemocratic usurpation of the popular will.
"[The] idea is if you're a super delegate, we want to make sure that you understand that the grassroots base of the Democratic party wants you to support the will of the party electorate," one MoveOn.org official, arguing against superdelegates, told Politico after Sanders won New Hampshire.
That argument makes sense: The superdelegate system really could be used as an unfair way of taking the primary out of the hands of the voters if they supported a candidate other than the one chosen by the democratic primary process. Sanders's supporters had to hope that if the primary electorate spoke clearly for Sanders, the superdelegates would agree to listen.
But just the opposite has happened. Clinton has received over 2 million more votes than Sanders — she's gotten 8.9 million to his 6.3 million. She has a pledged delegate lead of about 300.
Asking the superdelegates to now overturn that verdict because of a shaky argument about Sanders's general election viability seems like a stretch at best. As MSNBC's Steve Benen notes: "The fact that Sanders and his team are thinking along these lines is itself striking – and the sort of strategy his progressive backers may find difficult to explain after months of making the exact opposite argument."

as for disappearing debt the back story said it was family money which doesn't have to be reported. Then why didn't they retire the debt sooner which would have been more fiscally conservative???

Mrs. Clinton has unveiled a raft of policy proposals detailing increased spending on everything from job training and community college education to broadband networks, infrastructure, and clean energy. She has backed efforts to raise the federal minimum wage, to overhaul immigration laws, and to boost women’s workforce participation by backing efforts to improve paid leave and access to child care.
She has also promoted using the tax code to provide breaks for companies that improve employee profit-sharing while raising taxes on upper-income Americans and taxing so-called carried interest earned by investors as regular income.

Kavanaugh will easily get
Kavanaugh will easily get confirmed and I think he will even get a few Dem votes when it is all said and done. In the end I think it’s a good thing. In my mind the only thing that matters is winning the house. It changes the whole playing field. Kavanaugh getting confirmed will energize dems to vote like nothing else. If Kavanaugh didn’t make it he would have been replaced with someone with the same views. With Kavanaugh on the bench it will focus people’s attention on every 5-4 vote.
Of course there is nothing in the Constitution that says the Supreme Court has to be 9 justices. No reason dems can’t increase it to 11 once they are back in power.
Oh and Bezos cares as much about the optics of his workers collecting government benefits as all of us care about the billion people who walk more than a mile a day for water.

Sorry, I don't like to be rude to people but this is right on the money. So Bill Clinton is a disgusting pile of shit. So what? How is that even remotely relevant when discussing whether or not Kavanaugh should be a SCOTUS Justice?
And like Pyramid said, why is it so hard for Republicans to just come out and say that Kavanaugh is a disgusting piece of shit? If 20 years ago you would have told me that the Repubs are bending over backwards today to defend a nominee who spits in the face of everything that was once considered decency and family values, I would have laughed in your face. Not that any band of political thieves was ever clean or decent, but the Repubs USED to make a big fuss about family values. It's clear now that they only ever cared about power and shoving a biblical agenda down peoples' throats.
Mind you, I have no greater respect for the Democrats who are just as weasely and disgusting, IMO. It just happens that right now Comrade Trump is shitting all over the decency of modern democracy, ergo, he and his minions are in the spotlight at the moment...

Now the GOP and pro life
Now the GOP and pro life terrorists (yes they have bombed American people) can blackmail a SCOTUS judge to control his rulings. Sad!

Trump Seemingly Got His Soros
Trump Seemingly Got His Soros Conspiracy From Fox’s Maria Bartiromo and Chuck Grassley
Little more than an hour before the president tweeted this conspiracy, Sen. Grassley was spreading it on Fox Business with the help of Maria Bartiromo.

Yep, would suck if there was 6-3 conservative majority on the court. Not that it makes much difference given there is a 5-4 conservative majority now.

The FBI should use the methods of torture Kavanaugh advocated for under Bush to question him about being a sexual predator.

On a purely practical level our children and grandchildren's water and air purity is threatened, women may no longer have safe options for reproductive health care, fewer people eligible to vote through disenfranchising, human rights violations...

Practical, really? I am so ashamed of the majority who voted to approve a lying belligerent bully, a man who thinks his shit doesn't stink. Yet again. I'm so pleased that my Senators, Merkley and Wyden voted no and that Senator Merkley has worked diligently to restore human rights to children seized from their parents, for women and men, for the dignity of all.
Fuck Trump, fuck lying scumbag politicians.

Mitch McConnell abuses
Mitch McConnell abuses filibuster rule while in the minority to block Obama's judges forces Harry Reid to remove filibuster rule for lower court judges and Mitch said, "Don't and that it will come back to haunt you" which was his plan all along. Then when Mitch becomes senate majority head filibuster is gone for SCOTUS and GOP rams judge Kavanaugh through by mob rule.
