Lindsay Graham redemption arc!!!! Holy shit!
Didn’t watch. Did he throw DiFi down a shaft as she shot lightning bolts at Brett K?
Pretty damn close.
Yes, do tell…
nah, can’t have a good heal-turn without a reset every now and again.
Not a big fan of Graham, but he knocked it out of the park pointing out this is about the most corrupt kabuki show ever by the democrats. Here you go.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ujRNikfLJx0
Holy shit indeed
First!
Second is just first loser.
If you’re not 1st you’re last.
I live my life a quarter mile at a time
Playing Pac-Man?
SHAKE AND BAKE!
Fuck this day.
I am going to vote straight Republican ticket in six weeks.
Yeah, I might be doing the same.
Oh and I moved from the People’s Republic of MD to less-shitty PA, so now my vote might actually count for something!
Or i’m just overly optimistic
Pennsylvania politicians’ general strategy is to keep our policies slightly less bad than our neighbors. New Jersey, New York, and Maryland make it easy for them.
Yeah, that’s the impression I get. But hey, it worked to convince me. Although i’m still not sure if I was moving TO Pennsylvania or fleeing FROM Maryland…maybe a little of both
Too bad due process and gun rights took a nose dive with HB-2060 in the PA state legislature yesterday.
And will probably crash some more when HB-2227 is back on the table again.
Some speculate the NRA agreed to back HB-2060, possibly the not have to deal with HB-2227 for now. A massive number of Republicans voted yes on HB-2060, curiously I think a lot of them are up for re-election.
Some of us don’t know what those numbers reference.
HB = House Bill.
https://foac-pac.org/Action-Alerts/57
Bills from Pennsylvania’s general assembly. 2060 requires someone convicted of domestic assault 48 hours following their conviction to transfer their firearms to a law official, their lawyer, or to a licensed firearms dealer.
2227 would give judges the ability to great temporary orders to confiscate firearms from someone, without a conviction necessary.
Is there an exemption for cops in that bill? Ya’ know who has the highest rate of domestic violence convictions?
As written, no, cops don’t get an exception. As enforced, well, that’s a different story.
At least 2060 requires an actual conviction, instead off simply an accusation like some other states.
Like I said, our policies are nationally better, but that’s a far, far cry from good.
Or maybe I’m just riding high on escaping to the suburbs instead of being stuck in Philly proper.
Marginally better, not nationally. I should stop posting from my phone.
A conviction? When is the last time you’ve heard of a protection order not being issued by default?
Also, seems like there are quite a few glibz in the Philly area. I was trying to do a gettogether earlier this year, but didn’t have a lot of takers.
I know, I held a meetup instead when you were absent for a while.
And now that I got around to reading the full text, it didn’t modify PoA’s, just moved the timeline up significantly.
PA has a lot of active gun bills right now. HB357 is a 10A nullification bill that would make any new Federal restrictions unenforceable and throw anyone who tries to in the slammer.
After seeing Kavanaugh’s showing so far, I think this shit is going to boomerang back on the Dems.
As I noted below, I just had a hard left derpbook friend comment that even he thinks it’s a disgrace what they are doing to Kavanaugh.
I had a hard left derpbook friend claim that the hearing is “shaking her to her very core”
Grow the fuck up, snowflake.
As well it should, though I doubt that’s what she means.
I would, but I’m in California, so most of the races are one Democrat against another Democrat. For Congress it’s Congressman Putty vs the candidate who was almost stabbed but was quickly forgotten, because violence against Republicans doesn’t count.
well, yeah, but Feinstein can now officially go fuck herself. Kevin De Leon is complete commie garbage and I know that, but if she’s doing this because she’s afraid of him, then I might as well vote for the real thing not the pale imitation.
I was going to vote for her as the least bad choice, but now I’m going to abstain from voting in that race. Or I’ll write in my own name.
I’m not concerned about our Federal representation. There’s a reasonable check on it.
I’m scared shitless of the state level government. There’s NOTHING they won’t do.
Yup, and that fucking greaseball Gavin is going to be out governor in a few short months.
True, although that’s been coming for awhile. But I’m afraid it’s gonna to have to burn to change direction. The worst thing I can think of right now is for GOP to take governor – then he’ll just take the blame for all their shit. They need to own it all. Only then might something change (though looking to places like Chicago where you’d THINK that would’ve happened already but it never does).
What’s really got to happen is a massive right-ward turn by Latinos, that might be the demographic shift that will save us. Otherwise. we’re fucked.
When LAUSD collapses, that’s the golden opportunity. Catholic school will look mighty nice.
For realz.
Same here. Except I live in Illinois where there are shit tons of unopposed Dems.
The GOP should be using all this committee shit in TV ads and just flash #DRAINTHESWAMP over it several times.
Except the GOP is no intention of draining the swamp, and everyone knows it.
Write in Mickey Mouse. Maybe Minney if you want to be woke.
I’m not writing in a Disney character. I’ll probably write in Brett Kavanaugh.
Iowa is a purple state.
There will be close races between the dems and pub up and down the list. Not all of them, but many of them.
I hate the republican party.
I came to loath the democratic party under Obama.
All that is trivial to how I feel about democrats on the judiciary committee right now.
No. No. No. Fuck that shit.
I’m not voting to own the libs. I’m going to continue to vote on principle, which means I’m not voting for those bullshit “republicans” who kowtow to the authoritarian base and who love spending as much as the Democrats do (except when they’re not in power).
I appreciate the strength of your principals, Juvie, and I hope I too will be able to hold steadfast when it counts. However, at the moment, I’m absolutely incensed and desperate to own some fucking leftists. I think the Dems have earned the title Evil Party today, and I hope they pay for it come November.
you get more of what you reward
What the fuck just happened? I was actually proud of Lindsey Graham! What kind of fucked up dark magic have the Democrats unleashed unto the world?
I am confused.
Fuck you, Amy Klobuchar.
She’s very concerned.
Klow-buchar
She was taken back when he asked if she ever blacked out….lush!
“Amy Jean Klobuchar is an American former prosecutor, author, and politician. She is a member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party”
So, a commie. Yeah, fuck her.
I didn’t see her performance yet. How bad was it?
I actually just responded to a comment on derpbook from a hard left friend who said even he thinks it’s a disgrace what they are doing to Kavanaugh. I almost fell over when I read it.
Holy shit.
The representatives we have elected to legislate the country are grilling an adult man with children about what is in his high school yearbook.
OMG!!! BINGE DRINKING!!!
I think Grassley is hanging him out to dry.
On the bright side, this makes the baseball steroids investigations seem positively dignified.
If only they would have investigated steroid use in police departments.
Nothing to see here.
From the next town over:

“Senatorial” is getting redefined as we breathe.
I don’t envy you. You need to write satire more satirical than this shit.
He just needs to come up with sex scenes.
It’s so grotesque, I’ve mostly just stayed away from it. I’m only human. I don’t think I could make this any grosser than it always is.
I didn’t think this was possible. But, if you told me it was, I would believe Feinstein is involved in some way.
I’m only human.
Now the burden of proof is on you.
He’s born to make mistakes.
Deepspeed, you made it back after the storm. Was wondering where you were and how you fared.
I genuinely feel sorry for the woman who was outed via the yearbook antics.
Honestly, watching our Senate parsing fart jokes in a 35 year old high school yearbook actually lightened my otherwise black mood today.
I eagerly await the Hat n Hair ep where they take this in at the White House.
Jesus, I hate the guy, but I want to be sitting in the Oval Office watching this video with Trump right now.
Try watching American Vandal. You’ll get all the fart humor your heart desires.
So the Dem line rips its mask off…Its the Braveheart scene…just cry out…this will all be over with…
The Dems have turned all their attention to Kavanaugh’s alcohol consumption. They know they’ve got nothing.
Now now, this is every bit as solid as their Russia election hacking investigation.
Their what, now?
Investigation. One of those words that don’t mean anything, like credible.
*that no longer mean anything*
He’s replacing KENNEDY for fuck’s sake.
There’s a certain level of alcohol consumption that is to be expected.
They must ensure he exceeds that floor.
He has not earned his U-Boat commander batch yet..
Global Warming Is In Your Sports Now
This goes beyond the mere nuisance of weather delays and damaged turf. Take heat stroke, for instance. You already know that the University of Maryland is currently conducting an internal investigation into the heat death of offensive lineman Jordan McNair. Not so coincidentally, McNair collapsed during what was the third hottest May on record in DC, and the hottest May in America’s history overall. So not only did Maryland coaches and trainers work McNair far beyond reasonable limits, but they almost certainly did so with little regard to the increasing deadliness of our own atmosphere. Twenty-nine other college football players have died from heat-related causes in this century alone.
Oh boy.
was he on that fake grass that’s filled with black rubber pellets? b/c that shit is about 40F hotter than grass.
One wonders how many died in the previous century?
TL/DR: No significant change.
You science deniers and your damnable facts.
SEC just charged Elon with fraud.
Does this mean tsla isn’t going private and the funding wasn’t secured?
Is he a flight risk to Mars?
Does this mean California doesn’t get a hyper loop?
Does this mean watermelons hate the SEC now?
Yes, but most of the schools are in what they view as flyover country and yucky southern states, so nothing has changed.
I’ll repeat myself
Artist rendering of Musk’s meeting with his attorneys and investors.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0GW0Vnr9Yc
On the SEC charging Elon Musk with fraud (yay, my being a securities lawyer comes in handy for once!)
1. This is a civil complaint, not a criminal one.
2. It’s rather significant though, because they’re asking that the court bar Musk from serving as a director or officer of any corporation registered with the SEC.
3. When Musk calculated the $420 price for his fake going private offer, he calculated the number based on a 20% premium on that day’s share price (more or less common for going private transactions). 20% on that day’s closing price was $419, not $420. He added a dollar because he had “just recently learned of that number’s significance in marijuana culture” [Ed Note: huh?] and his girlfriend thought it would be funny.
He’s a fucking idiot. No wonder all his top managers bailed. No one wants to go to prison for an idiot.
This is a civil suit and not a criminal one, so nobody’s going to jail. The SEC’s asking that he give up any profits he made (unlikely he did, or this would be a criminal case) as a result of the fraud, that he be barred from committing any other violations of the Securities Act (standard) and that he be barred from acting as an officer or a director of a registered company (decidedly not standard).
He’s CEO of Tesla, and obviously this would bar him from continuing to act as CEO. He’s also CEO of SpaceX, which is private, so this wouldn’t affect his position there.
he be barred from acting as an officer or a director of a registered company
I know I’ve seen that before. Didn’t the Theranos chick get one of those? Also (going way back) Michael Milken of junk bond fame? Dunno how unusual it is, though.
She was reported as saying she’s gonna make a comeback and is looking into forming something.
Chick doesn’t get the hint. Quite the sociopath.
So, I guess this wasn’t you?

Goddammit.
Purely a coincidence that you fumbled a pot joke, right?
Humm.. whut?
I’m just in disbelief that a Gen Xer didn’t know that 420=weed.
I didn’t know until my son told me on April 20.
Same here. I first heard of it about a year ago.
I think I heard the reference for the first time at TOS a few years ago. Never heard it in real life.
The reps have so much material to use against the dems. You could take almost any subject and just play clips of them at two different times and it would look bad. But I think more than likely the dems will have a mild net positive this year.

FBI INVESTIGATION!!! FBI INVESTIGATION!!!
Yeah, that’s the Democrats line here.
A telling story, I was in a local meat market yesterday afternoon and the afternoon butchers are a couple of older guys. We were talking about modern technology and how things have changed and one of them remarked unsolicited, “yeah, they go all the way back to high school now to investigate you”. We all nodded. People are pissed.
And if there were an FBI investigation, the moment the FBI started looking at the accusers in any way, there would be an outcry over “revictimizing the poor dear!”
They mean the in-the-tank-for-the-DNC FBI.
Actually, the people that do the investigation will find nothing and report that, but just like when they found tons of evidence Clinton committed several crimes and recommended prosecution, the top men will reverse the finding and do the opposite. In this case they will try to find a reason to drag it out or fuck Trump over. In the Hillary case they contorted themselves to misinterpret the law and admit that while she committed a crime they were letting her walk because they wanted her to win the election.
The Democrats could have asked for one. They also could have subpoenaed any of the people they are complaining aren’t there. They didn’t because they have no interest in the truth.
This just occurred to me, as I was changing the belt on my belt sander:
What if Kavanaugh emerges from this kangaroo court extravaganza as a Supreme Court justice? A justice with a finely honed and highly personal appreciation for the rights of the accused? Perhaps even a new-found reverence for the Fourth Amendment?
You know, the absolute worst nightmare of the Deep State boot-on-face apparatchiki.
I can dream, can’t I?
Certainly a clever-enough lawyer will mention such a thing in a relevant SC case.
I had that thought as well.
But then I sobered up
Put the bong down.
I like your dreams.
I’m not sure if I want him to be confirmed as a fuck you the the left or if I want him to not be confirmed to piss off the right.
That would be nice.
I would also like Mila Kunis to show up naked at my doorstep, hand me a billion dollars and then have a threesome with my wife and me.
The second thing is about as likely to happen as the first.
Only cause your wife is a stick in the mud, right?
Mila Kunis isn’t a billionaire?
I’d be happy being Mila’s panties for a day.
In my experience, people who believe in top men and then get browbeaten like this just reinforce their believe on OTHER top men.
” with my wife and me”
Wow, you are either whipped, or your wife is an oiled otter in the sack.

DefDist’s new director is Paloma Heindorff.
“It’s the most effective and elegant activism I’d seen performed and I wanted to be a part of that,” she said. “It’s just so beautiful, isn’t it, to exercise one’s rights like that and to do so in a way that pushes authorities to allow you to. Too often people are perturbed by threats, and I found it incredible that this company persisted.”
another philosopher, i suppose.
A woman? That’s going to piss off the right people.
effective and elegant activism
It really is. Most activism these days is just trying pressure other people to do something. He created an opportunity for people to do what he/they want.
Cody really fucked up.
C’mon, man. You’re already under a microscope. No underage hookers!
All this because they can’t admit they lost the election.
The past 2-3 years has been unreal. And convinced me that there’s nothing that the Left can offer any liberty loving person.
No all of this because getting an abortion is the only right worth having.
I don’t what else they expected when they nominated the most reviled candidate I know of.
so are they going to vote or not?
This thing has made me far more angry than I really would like to be right now. I see people bellowing the weepy “believe all victims” drivel, and my rage grows exponentially because it is picking at a very old, deeply personal wound that I really thought had completely healed by now. It’s something that I’ve spent ten years trying to put behind me and recover from, but this week’s climate is so fucking toxic that I’m about to blow my top. Fuck all of you to hell, Democrats.
When I worked at Borders many moons ago, I was accused by a coworker of sexually harassing her despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They fired me anyway but later on I found out that the Supervisor and the accuser did this as a way to get rid of me all simply because they feared that I was trying to take their jobs.
Man, that sucks. Unfortunately your story is indicative of a large, persistent problem in this country for which there is no easy solution. Everyone on the other side either suffers from misplaced sympathy out of fear of being labeled a misogynist or they stand to gain something from it all.
The “believe all victims” crap pisses me off too. My son and his friends, male and female, were reported for harassment (not sexual) by some crazy chick in their dorm last year. He was investigated and more or less cleared, but he was completely stressed out during the whole thing. He had to do some training session about alcohol use. Years in the future she could destroy his life by claiming a sexual assault. My wife worries for him too, but Toobin on CNN thinks it’s crazy that mothers are worried that their sons’ lives could be destroyed.
Toobin is a cunt.
What, you don’t like a guy who had an affair with a colleague’s daughter while married, tried to browbeat her into getting an abortion, then refused to acknowledge paternity of said child until he was forced to by a court?
“Toobin on CNN thinks it’s crazy that mothers are worried that their sons’ lives could be destroyed.”
Which is kind of the hidden thing with the Dem’s “WE ARE FOR TEH WIMMINZ!!!!!” effort.
Women who vote Democrat because #BelieveHer and who have sons who are under 30 should ask their sons about accusations of sexual assault. Every single guy I know (I turn 30 next year) has multiple stories of them or friends of theirs that faced anywhere from social consequences, to academic expulsion, to no shit criminal charges based on the word of a woman who came to regret a consensual sexual encounter.
This whole sham bullshit they trot out that it’s a tiny minority of women who make false claims is simply not fucking true to any young man in the modern dating market who’s got an active sex life. We know that you always cover your bases with text messages documenting consensual happiness. We know that you better make damn sure you let her down easy, beacause these fucking girls have fully imbibed the batshit feminism that you can retroactively withdraw consent. It’s not conspiracy mongering or some kind of thing that happens rarely. It happens all the fucking time, and we fucking know it.
I got stories from college, stories from the workplace, stories from all kinds of situations. It’s not some rare occurrence. If you have been dating women since 2010, it’s happened to you or a friend.
#believehim
makes just as much sense as the otherway around.
Can someone please make a YouTube and replace Mel Gibsons face with Kavs while he lies on the disembowlment table in Braveheart…because that is what the Dems are doing…just cry out and all will be forgiven
for those of us that didn’t listen to the witch trial but want to hear the highlights, what parts would you recommend?
1. apparently Graham just kicked some ass
2. Kav’s opening statement
3. the prosecutor grilling Ford about her BFF refuting her statements and Ford claiming her BFF has “health issues”
4. ?
Graham’s turning into the fucking Hulk and rightfully calling out the Dem’s bullshit.
Seriously. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a senator on such a furious rant, and it was…..Lindsey Graham?
Interestingly, he was calling out (potential) RINO bullshit too. Ironic considering the source, but but very interesting to see him making that choice. Maybe GOPe is finally learning something.
Graham has a lot of real skeletons in his closet that he’d prefer to stay there. He can relate.
It must be a crowded closet with him and those skeletons packed in there.
I thought Graham, himself, was in the closet.
Riven retweeted
Lindsey SMASH!
I don’t know, he still comes off as incredibly awkward to me. Attacking the Dems for their behavior, then a slight pause before segwaying into asking Kavanaugh if he’s a gang rapist.
Kav’s opening statement.
I only saw Kavs statement. Then the attorney women ask him if he read the definition of sexual activity and I turned it off.
What, her MMF relationships?
NYT news alert on my phone referred to “visibly furious” Kavanaugh saying his reputation has bee ruined. I hope he called them all a bunch of idiots and clowns.
Not in so many words…yes he did…he knows it’s a circus and probably knows he wont br confirmed but he is defending his honor and name with vigor that can only be found in novels.
Why in the fuck do you get NYT alerts?
The only bright spot in this fucking mess is Kavanaugh declaring that he’s all in.
I just want Kavanaugh to say: “Hell I don’t know what’s she’s talking about. Bitches be cray cray, amirite?”
“My father told me when I was 12 to never stick it in crazy. I’ve heeded that advice all my life.”
are they going to vote now?
Time for Donny to pull Kavanaugh’s nomination, make it looks like he gracefully let the Dems win. Wait a little bit for the media celebration to reach a crescendo.. Then nominate Mike Lee for the position instead.
It will only be funnier, because Senators are by convention forced to be polite to each other. It should make their search for dirt a little more painful.
Or just vote and if they lose nominate someone else.
no the troll nomination would be Ted Cruz. But the delay would be giving the Dems the win. The delay is the point.
Didn’t GWB try to nominate the cleaning lady or something?
Trump should appoint Alex Jones.
I suggest on the now-dead thread that perhaps we ought to bring back dueling. There are two things that stop people from acting like this – decency and fear. People like this have made abundantly clear that they’re not going to allow old-fashioned notions like decency or civility stop them from whatever they feel like. Maybe the possibility that saying it might lead to them staring down the barrel of a loaded gun might give them some pause.
Life has gotten too safe. It just encourages the worst in people.
^this.
“Will you stand by that remark?”
lots of dueling in the Master and Commander series.
and Maturin is too good a shot, He keeps killing people…..

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/27/kavanaugh-governors-847804
Four Republican governors have called for the Senate to take its time with or even forgo a vote on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court ahead of a hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill to examine sexual assault allegations against him.
Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, John Kasich of Ohio, Larry Hogan of Maryland and Phil Scott of Vermont…
Three of those I see the asshole political positioning. One of them is just a raging douchebag.
Governors? They carry as much weight as the local elementary school PTA, and they can go fuck themselves.
Kasich is a lame duck cuck.
His successor is no better.
http://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/dewine-says-kavanaugh-accuser-allegations-should-be-weighed
It’s still shitty of him to do it, but Hogan is running for re-election in the People’s Democratic Republic of Maryland, so while I disdain it, I do understand it.
Kasich can go play with a high voltage line, though.
Classy statement that he apologizes. My guess someone whispered in his ear that Klobuchar has alcoholism in her family.
That alcoholic father is the only reason she’s a Senator.
Jim Klobuchar was a long time columnist in the local rags (pretty good one too). Like Gov Dayton, she coasted into office on her name recognition.
My wife listened to some of Ford’s testimony on the way to court this morning. We just discussed it at lunch.
“What’s up with the fake crying? I can spot that a mile away, and I hate it”.
She was able to describe in great detail the characteristics of a plaintiff who’s faking emotion because they think it will help the case. Ford hit all the key notes.
We had a brief discussion on an earlier thread about how an expert would view Ford’s testimony – it would be interesting to hear your wife’s insights.
She takes great exception to calling it “testimony”. That implies a finding of fact.
This was a scripted farce in every way.
Is she a witness, or a victim? You can’t have it both ways.
I’m guessing high up on that list is sobbing without producing any actual tears. Someone on the PJ Media live blog also mentioned a lack of any color changes in the face.
Emotion comes in waves, and it’s uncontrollable. Even in crazy people.
Emotion doesn’t pop up every time you’re asked a question that’s difficult to answer. That’s willful deception, and it was out in spades today.
I’m just gonna say it. At times she looked like an SNL skit characterization of a crazy cat lady.
We need to bring back dueling.
We need to bring back tar & feathering, and boiling in oil as well.
Don’t forget the Boats.
the problem with this idea is that it was only respected between gentlemen. the rabble did not hold public office or have a soapbox to publicly impugn a reputation among peers. i’m uncertain any in the Senate could pass for a gentleman.
If a Democrat today even showed up for a duel, rest assured he’d have six snipers waiting on nearby rooftops.
Pulling a Brooks. Uh-huh.
That’s a dueling offense.
I’d like to invite Feinstein to an interview at Weehawken.
It’s got to be a pretty popular sentiment today.
Ugh. Gilmored my response to Tonio about Brooksing… *sigh*
I need this week to be over.
The response is still appropriate 🙂
Since Ford is supposedly afraid of flying, I was picturing Kamala Harris slipping her a roofie so Biden could grab her from behind to carry her onto the private jet, holding her by the boobs the whole way.
Or maybe something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0GW0Vnr9Yc
Mitchell pretty much blew up the “fear of flying” BS – Ford actually travels via air frequently including to Tahiti and Hawaii.
Falsus in uno, falsus in omnia
That, alone should have been the end of this.
Oh, speak German too me, Schatzi.
“…I love it when”
It’s pretty bad when you mangle your own joke.
Oh shit, Blumenthal reading your comments yo. Too bad he can’t read good.
Does she remember who paid for the tickets to Hawaii?
She was so destroyed by this event she went on to get multiple advanced degrees have a successful prestigious career, a family , travels extensively and vacations, home remodeling. How much sympathy does she really pull out of average america who maybe have seen real abuse and the tragic paths it can lead people down of truely self destructive behavior.
Since she’s passed out Joe would probably carry her like a six-pack, using the two conveniently placed together holes.
Didn’t she say she took the polygraph at the hotel because she had to fly to New Hampshire? Loopy cunt is a pathological liar.
She admits flying to and from DC for the polygraph, and flying to vacations on Pacific Islands, and flying around the country . . . .
Maybe she’ll run for president in 2020
But she only flies on planes with two doors, you shitlord.
I assume Flake is there and will get a turn. It will be interesting to see what he does, since I’m pretty sure he bears as much responsibility for this shitshow as Feinstein.
It is very, very hard to remember when Flake was in the House and I thought he was one of the good guys. Impossible, even. What a useless sack of shit. I hope the MSNBC gig is worth it.
Human traffickers everywhere!

I assume all those names they listed are of people that have been convicted?
I am very, very biased against them, but man the Dems look like pieces of pure shit questioning Kavanaugh. Trying to bait him into stopping his own nomination process for an FBI investigation that everyone in the entire room knows will prove nothing is a po-faced farce of epic proportions.
Trying to pick the most farcical moment would be tough. The fart jokes? The high school nicknames? The fake crying? So many embarassments, so little booze.
Those are all farcical, but constantly challenging him to put the noose around his own neck should have mobs with torches and pitchforks chasing those fuckers through the streets.
“FFFFFFFFFF and then the F word would come out.”
Yep that elicited a chuckle from the chamber…
Note to self: stop for booze on the way home.
Thanks for the reminder.
I’m disappointed you don’t have a fully stocked liquor cabinet.
It was fully stocked at one time.
They’re terrible jackasses.
‘Do unto others’ in the political context doesn’t seem to enter into their calculus because if this is the tone they set, who’s to say the GOP won’t return the favor?
Awful spectacle.
I’m in more an “eye for an eye” mode right now.
This is the first time I’ve considered voting republican in 15 years. And I suspect that I’m not alone.
“who’s to say the GOP won’t return the favor?”
The gop would be much better off acting like adults.
^^This.
The Dems really played to their base today, but I expect that their base got a lot smaller in doing that.
And these are the people who call Trump a boorish loudmouth. Takes one to know one, I guess.
More likely, it’s standard Dem projection.
The irony is that if they were capable of understanding that simple lesson, they wouldn’t be in this position now.
If Harry Reid hadn’t gone nuclear and dropped the filibuster for nominees, they could have blocked this. But nope. They went for short term gratification. Now they have decided that the solution to the burning house is more gasoline.
*You could say that they even started the whole nomination BS when they politicized Bork’s nomination.
Sasse almost lost it and did what distinguishing senators are supposed to do…yield their time
Boom…Kav fires back…this is fun.
Toobin is a cunt.
It’s cunts, all the way down.
If I was Kavanaugh, I would flip the fuck out and say “Investigate me! Y’all still won’t find shit on me because I ain’t did shit. And fuck you Feinstein. “
How is this shitshow still going on?
I know. Jeopardy was cancelled. Fuckers.
I am having a hard time deciding which Dem is the most slimy – Blumenthal is right up there – he just asked if Kav believed Anita Hill.
“Anita Who?”
Pretty sure she is in the audience, so that would be epic.
It looked like an old Alyssa milano was sitting just behind Cavanaugh right shou!der.
“What did she accuse me of? I’ve lost track at this point.”
“Oh, her. No, I’ve never raped an African American.”
“Too nappy.”
I assume Thomas and Kavanaugh have been talking to each other for several weeks.
So, what was the reaction from Democrats when Grassley opened with Joe Biden’s dismissal of FBI investigative reports as not being worth anything?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ignore it and claim it didnt happen…so business as usual
Difi immediately called for an fbi investigation.
Sasse almost lost it
Did one of his underlings rush forward with the smelling salts? Fan him with her hanky?
No but blonde behind Sen Crapo…WOULD
The thing I’ve been thinking about is that–to a certain sizable segment of the population–Kavanaugh is a rapist and always will be a rapist, even if all the proof possible is found to show that he could not have groped this woman, wagged his penis in a face, or ran a gang rape factory.
Like if Ford finally says it was this party on this date in this place and Kavanaugh can prove he was clear across the country, he’s still a rapist. If they find video of him not waggling anything, if the gang rape woman is judged utterly insane, there’s a permanent asterisk beside his name forever. I mean, even if they ALL retract and say they made it all up, there will still be the asterisk and there will still people willing to call him a rapist for the rest of his life and beyond, because, you know, she was forced to retract, she was pressured, she was threatened, etc.
His parents are now the parents of a rapist. His wife is now the wife of a rapist. His daughters are now the children of a rapist. Everyone who ever worked for or with him are the colleagues of a rapist.
And all these people calling him a rapist, branding him in perpetuity as a rapist, and who profess no doubt (even if they have doubt) all think that this doesn’t really affect his life at all, except that he might miss out on being a Supreme Court Judge.
I mean, no big deal, right? Fuck him. He’s a rapist, after all.
STEVE SMITH JUST LABEL OTHERS
Not to go all Stalwin (Godwin + USSR) but the the KNVD has records that lay out the game-plan to ruin a career, with note that for a lot of men, particularly good family me who have a good reputation, destroying their career and slimming them name was worse for them than a bullet in the back of the head.
But that’s only for decent men. A lot of politicians wouldn’t have any idea how decent men work.
You gotta break some eggs to get the socialists to run things so they can break a lot more eggs.
Brunch?
“Waiter, there’s an awful lot of dead people in my soufflé.”
/Stole from twitter
“(even if they have doubt)”
They absolutely do, which is what makes this so much worse.
“who profess no doubt (even if they have doubt)”
This is the heart of it. The whole thing was a lie and everyone in that room knows it is a lie. They are either lying to us or lying to themselves. They are wholly without principle.
That’s what I hated so much about Robby Soave’s take on Twitter yesterday. His reaction was, and I paraphrase, “If he’s innocent, sucks for him.”
Soave, it sucks when you go to the ballgame and it’s sold out. It sucks when you get home, open up your drive-thru order and find out you didn’t get fries. Getting labeled a rapist and having to carry that around – when your are innocent – goes well beyond “sucking”. It is a travesty. It is an injustice. It is immoral.
But see, this is a thumb in Trump’s eye, and Kavanaugh is a privileged white man so he won’t suffer too bad, so this is okay. This is what Robby Soave actually believes.
The collective lunacy over at Reason makes me think an edict came from above, and it’s “retard or no cake”. And Robby wants him some cake.
“open up your drive-thru order and find out you didn’t get fries”
Worse – fries but no ketchup. Who the fuck puts fries in a bag and doesnt put in ketchup?
Putting ketchup on fries is like putting steak sauce on steak.
That’s so stupid that it’s not even wrong.
Right?
If loving steak is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Ketchup on fries is fine. Steak sauce is a crime against humanity.
*** Unless it’s demi or chimichurri. But we all know that Mad Scientist was talking about A1, because it’s the most exotic item in his pantry.
I like steak sauce on burgers. If your steak requires steak sauce, it was cooked wrong or is a bad cut.
I won’t use either. If your steak needs sauce, it’s shitty steak. A1 is for poors!
Is marinading a steak prior to grilling OK?
Depends on the marinade.
London broil is ok.
Bromelain is always wrong.
Most of the time its inferior to an herbed salt rub, which causes much better flavor penetration and texture improvement than a marinade.
Has no one ever made their own steak sauce? Tis the taste of heaven –
1) Pan fry steaks in butter – remove
2) to remove all the goodness on the stainless steel pain, use a splash of red wine
2) add more butter, cream, diced shallots and then turn the burner up until it all simmers down into a delicious brown sauce
That’s pretty much a demi. A must on low fat cuts.
Chimichurri steak sauce. Steak snobs are the worst.
As far as I am concerned fries are the only food that is acceptable to put ketchup on, and one cannot eat fries without ketchup.
You might get a pass for putting ketchup on a hamburger but only if you have no tomato, but it is a close call.
I was going to say tater tots are the only food that’s acceptable to put ketchup on, but I’m not sure I can defend the assumption that tater tots are food.
I like ’em whether they’re food or not.
And yeah, they’re just about the only thing I’ll put ketchup on now.
I do have a passion for tater tots, and their close relative, real diner hashbrowns from a hot griddle.
Salt and ketchup a must for both.
One of those guilty pleasures that gets in the way of wanting to be low-carb.
But I get almost apoplectic when I see tater tots on the menu and it turns out to be sweet potato tots.
Blechhh! What idiot came up with those? Real potatoes only, please, not that orange baby-food paste pretending to be something it’s not.
*stunned hands let tater tot hotdish crash to the floor*
*stares in uncomprehending horror*
Tater …. tots…. not … food?
The fries are for dipping in the Vanilla Frosty.
I’m going to corpse-fuck this thread just to say, only when gravy is not available.
You put mayo or ranch dressing on fries.
You put ketchup on your kid’s plate.
Don’t you have ketchup at home?
Abortions, man! WILL SOMEONE THINK OF THE ABORTIONS!?
A reputation of one man is not even a price to pay. He should willingly throw himself out of polite society.
“Vegans For Abortion”
Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.
And all these people calling him a rapist, branding him in perpetuity as a rapist, and who profess no doubt (even if they have doubt) all think that this doesn’t really affect his life at all, except that he might miss out on being a Supreme Court Judge.
Hell, they’ll even let him stay on as a circuit court judge. It’s no big deal, really.
In a just world…he would be the richest man alive after this ducked up circus
In a just world {redacted} and then a plane {redacted} and then everyone eats ice cream.
Is Blumenthal a space alien? Was he the inspiration for Krugman’s “stimulus by alien invasion”?
It’s possible.
It’s like someone unwrapped a mummy and then shellacked it.
Friends don’t let friends get chemical peels at places named “Uncanny Valley Plastic Surgery Clinic.”
Notice they keep asking him about the roommate from his frosh year and he keeps referring to his redacted testimony. They know it’s a false charge and they keep trying to repeat it anyway.
Mendacious fucks the lot of them.
Holy shit, fookin’ Booker asking about whether he drank on weekends or weekdays.
Isn’t that proof they have absolutely nothing?
Now he’s asking leading questions of whether do he wished that she didn’t come forward.
Wow.
“Senator Booker, since turn about is fair play, how do you square your devotion to “Believe Her” with the sexual assault allegations against you? Will you resign in disgrace?”
Booker is a stupid cunt.
Watching Klobuchar go before and Cruz go after him doesn’t make Booker look good at all. This was his big chance to get on the presidential nomination train and he keeps fucking it up. He didn’t land a single body shot like Klobuchar did.
What did Klobuchar do, other than bait him into being rude to her?
She got him to make a personal attack on a woman on the record for which he had to apologize. That’s red meat to the kind of primary voters that select early presidential nominees.
“She’s speaking her truth”
I fucking hate these people.
“Your Honor, nothing I said is true. But it is my truth.”
There’s that doubt I was talking about.
It’s HER truth, not THE truth, although they’re trying their best to conflate the two.
So long as it serves their purposes, they don’t believe there’s a difference.
Postmodernism rears its ugly head
Yeah, and there’s a guy who puts up signs warning us against chemtrails around Tucson. He’s “speaking his truth”, but that doesn’t mean he’s right or that I have to #believehim.
Maybe he was raped by Kavanaugh
Seems plausible. Everyone else was.
Feinstein is losing her shit.
It irritates me the way they always have to stipulate how much respect they have for each other.
I have no respect for any of those jackasses, even the few I agree with.
Yep they are constructing a logical trap…not that it matters
Anyone else see Feinstein’s senior moment with the aide reminding her that she’s already asked them about a leak?
Yepper… she knows she is the source of the leak
She swears it wasn’t her staff who leaked Ford’s letter, and blames . . . Ford’s friends for leaking it? How the fuck would her friends even have a copy?
Feinstein is blaming Ford for the leak.
Hahahaha
Now we have Harris trying for a Perry Mason moment or something.
Everyone is rolling their eyes. Even Alyssa looks bored.
I find it surreal that she is even there.
I find it surreal that anyone was even there talking about this shit.
If she’s not running for office somewhere in the next year I’ll eat my hat.
She is a freshman senator..how did she make this comittee
You know exactly how.
It is rather odd that one state has both of its Senators on the Judiciary Committee.
She’s a shortlister for the Presidential primaries. She’s on this committee to lay some groundwork for her Presidential run.
Ponder that on the tree of woe.
“President Harris”
Right?!
Oh you went and edited yourself. SHOW OFF.
There was nothing wrong with your first response.
When you see just a “.” know that I am rummaging through the image library…
He who controls the past, controls the present.
Better candidate than Hilary. She would have beat Trump.
If Kamala Harris actually runs for president, watch for a shitstorm about her affair with the married Willie Brown, who essentially was responsible for her political ascendance. Wonder how that would play with the pound me too crowd.
They’ll just accuse anyone who dares to suggest it of racism/misogyny.
They will admire her bravery, surviving the horrible ordeal in which a male used his power to bed her?
Or say that what two adults consentually do in private is none of your business, bigot?
Or just go with “if the roles were reversed you would never claim a man slept his way to the top, BIGOT!”
Or just scream “racist”. That’s all you need as a campaign slogan. “Vote Harris or Be Racist”
Conspiracy theory – This is the prosecutor who made a name for herself prosecuting a sex-enterprise that kept electronic records.
I don’t actually believe that’s it, but its a good conspiracy theory.
She did it Big Willie Style .
Well, she is in her moment when attempting to convict people based on the flimsiest of evidence. Kamala Harris is the new face of t̶h̶e̶ ̶D̶e̶m̶o̶c̶r̶a̶t̶i̶c̶ ̶P̶a̶r̶t̶y̶ evil.
Now Harris is asking Kavanaugh if he’s willing to ask the White House to ask the FBI to give him a polygraph test.
Did you watch Ford’s testimony?
What does that have to do with anything?
She wanted to ask him about it.
It irritates me the way they always have to stipulate how much respect they have for each other.
“With all *due* respect, Senator, I wish to urge you all to go douse yourselves with kerosene and jump into a fire.”
Senator, Please commit an act which may be anatomically impossible. With all due respect of course.
“from advice and consent to search and destroy” was a great line.
Flake up. He’s the swing vote to get out of the committee, right?
What the fuck was that? Is he gonna vote yes now?
That was nominative determinism is what that was.
What did he say?
My nose has been broken 3X now. It still looks better than Flake’s. And he has money.
No way he breaths out of that.
Harris and Booker are the two Senators I hate the most now.
I dunno…Sen Blu was pretty shitty
Since Feinstien was the architect of all of this, I would have to put here at the top of the list.
Alright, lets just agree that they are all shitty.
PS: It’s odd that I sort of like Lindsey Graham….today.
Racist.
Can someone explain this two doors meme? I actually had to get some work done today.
Ford said she was in couples therapy because of an argument with her husband over a home remodel in which she demanded 2 front doors so that she could always get away from an attacker like when she was younger and oh BTW they now allow strangers in the house through the second front door to live there.
Couldn’t one of the other doors be on the side or the back?
Two front doors would look really stupid.
LOOPY CUNT
INORITE?
And which door should the amazon guy use?
The back door…
Bow chicka wow wow.
Ford was so damaged by Kav that she has to have multiple exits on her house so she doesn’t get all closed in. She told her husband about Kav (or I think he recalls that he told her about Kav) when they were arguing about why the fuck do they need two doors on their house?
She now lets the Google interns who stay with her to use the extra door. Because people with intense anxiety always let strangers stay with them.
*points to ear and makes the crazy sign*
Ford and husband had to go to couples therapy over her needing to have two front doors or some such so she could escape from would be rapists.
Also, I have a long standing disdain for any single family residential dwelling with two front doors. It looks ridiculous.
Two separate doors or double doors? Because double doors make moving so much easier.
Double doors would imply a single point of exit, and crazy lady wanted 2 exits.
Also, if this is going to make any sense at all, shouldn’t it be the bedroom that has the 2 exits?
I take that back. Shouldn’t she want a gun after experiencing something like that?
That assumes she’s capable of defending herself, and she quite clearly is not.
After her testimony, I don’t think she should be able to pass a background check.
That would have been amazing if she’d said something like “my experience led me to get a gun for personal protection”.
The Dems on the panel would still be confused on how to address that one.
How would two doors help her escape a gang rape?
Way to go. Now she’s going to need 3 doors.
Plus an ejection seat, fire ladder, and doggy door.
It depends. Do gang rapists behave like wolves on a hunt, where they cut off all means of escape?
Or do they just unzip and politely line up, waiting for their turn?
It depends. If they are Anglo-Saxon, northern European or maybe Japanese, they queue in an orderly fashion. Otherwise it’s chaos.
Double doors constitute a single doorway. I’m talking generally about renos where someone encloses a carport or garage and puts a second damn door on the front. Although, I have seen a few houses where it looks like it could be oe.
I gather the hearing is done. I guess they vote tomorrow?
I would have called the vote immediately after the circus.
When is the full Senate scheduled to vote?
Stayed tuned for tomorrow nights Mystery Theater!
Push the button, Frank!
At this point in the coverage, I just have to accept that leftists expected Kav to respond meekly like Ford’s husband.
Kennedy asked if Kavanaugh believed in God. And then asked if in front of God, if the accusations are true.
I didn’t know if I could be libertarian but this whole shitshow has damned near turned me into an anarchist.
Kennedy was just making a good soundbite for his constituents. Because apparently his next election will be held in 1987, when that kind of thing is what wins votes.
I was hoping Kav would say, “look, you dumbfuck….Im sitting here only UNDER FUCKIN OATH”
Fer fuck’s sake, he already been sworn in using, I believe, the traditional formula “so help me God”. I vaguely recall a kerfuffle years ago over the reference to God, so it may not be in there any more.
So Glibstimates on tomorrow’s vote?
I’ll think they’ll vote yes after Kavanaugh’s performance.
My wife watched the whole day. She just said she’ll never vote for a Democrat again even with a gun to her head.
I married up 🙂
Nice, the Dems overplayed their hand with this one.
I’ll think they’ll vote yes after
Kavanaugh’sGraham’s performance.He called out his colleagues bigtime. The rest of it was just soundbite harvesting, maybe hoping for a major faux pas of some kind. Fuck, it even looks like that weak shit Flake is going to vote for him.
I think Graham already knew how Flake was going to vote. His real audience for his rant was Murkowski, Snow, and Collins.
Graham really stepped up. Never in a million years saw that one coming.
Same here. I dont know what to think about her. I guess I have to stop cussing the guy. At least for a little while.
Pass committee…cover has been laid for the nays and the yeas have solid soundbites to vote. I say…he is confirmed.
Whenever I see some dog and pony show like this sucking all of the attention I have to wonder…what do they not want us to pay attention to? What else is going on?
VAN DYKE TRIAL
The Democrats and their lickspittle in the media desperately don’t want you to know about record-setting economic indicators and record-low unemployment across all sectors. So they’re loving this distraction, at least.
It will be interesting now to see if the Republicans can get the same unified voting as the Dems seem to have almost without having to ask their caucus.
I’m sure the Red State Senators up this year have been frantically polling this. I suspect that if they get decent polling data after today’s shitshow, they will vote to confirm, because I get the sense a lot of people who haven’t been drinking the Dem #WarOnWomen koolaid were horrified by what just happened.
What has Keith Ellison been up to?
Brother Keith has demanded an investigation to clear his name by the House Ethics committee.
I’m embarrassed. This was a new low.
Benjamin (from Animal Farm) is my spirit animal, and even I found this a tad unseemly.
So how is Rand Paul handling this? I’ve not seen him mentioned in connection with any retardation so far.
Kept quiet like he should since it’s not to a floor vote yet.
Members were doxxed on wikipedia…the left yas lost it and it’s not a good indicator of their sanity
From a House computer, no less.
The doxx is coming from inside the House!
Any idea how secure that network is? Like is there open wifi that anyone can get on, or is this a landline only thing?
By any means necessary, bro.
We may be getting to the point where Republican officials can’t go out in public without a security escort. And this, in a nation where at one time anyone could just walk into the White House, during a fucking Civil War even, and sit down with the President.
I once talked with an Austrian guy who’s a nobody who was able to convince the PM to take up some minor bit of policy change because he happened to run into him surfing and they were just shooting the shit after they were both recovering from wiping out on a particularly large wave. Which I believe is the most Australian story possible that doesn’t involve death from wild animal.
related: http://cdn3-www.craveonline.com/assets/uploads/2015/09/simpsons-australian-prime-minister.jpg
Austria is landlocked, so they were probably the only two Austrians who surf. What are the odds?
“Hitler don’t surf!”
The schism is getting pretty bad. I keep hearing people point that out and it does concern me. Looking at history it will keep getting worse a little at a time and then surprise! blow up in our faces.
Who was doxxed? To what end?
Hatch, Garahm, Lee…addresses and personal phone numbers published.
I dont know why I had to ask. Of course.
They are going to have power no matter the cost. DiFi or Schumer is behind that.
https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2018/09/27/sens-orrin-hatch-mike-lee/
“Someone using the House Internet network ”
And we dont know which computer or who was logged on to it?
Oh they know…but you know…fuck you
On a competently run corporate system, we would know. A government system? Who knows.
I hear there’s some Pakistani techs who have experience with congressional IT. Maybe get them back onto the case?
Feinstein can get her Chinese spy driver to fetch them.
“Washington • Someone using the House Internet network posted personal details about Sens. Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee among other senators on the website Wikipedia.org, listing their home addresses and phone numbers.
The posts were taken down quickly but tweets about their information continued to boomerang on the Internet.
Hatch, who is the Senate president pro tempore and third in line for the presidency, alerted Capitol Police, which provides a 24-hour security detail for him.”
Please, please, please let them trace the doxxing back to DWS’s Pakistani IT guy.
And these are the days that I praise the heavens I don’t have cable… and a bottle of gin… and a six pack of beer… and a bottle of red red wine.

///VeryFakeNews
Wow… I want some of whatever the fuck she is on.
Marxism. She’s on Marxism.
I’m surprised she even put allegedly in there. They’re accusing the guy of attempted rape. They have zero evidence that he ever even met her.
I’m surprised that CNN isn’t running 10 stories on how partisan the Republicans were. I guess they’ll come by tomorrow.
It was a moment of singular cruelty and disrespect.
By Klobuchar, or by Kav?
Sure sounds like there were many moments of entitlement, cruelty and lack of simple decency on display.
Center. Right.
Rubin is one of the biggest sacks of shit in the media, a true fucking hack.
Another political term rendered meaningless by the press.
I’m sick of this shit about respecting politicians. They’re supposed to be the people’s servants.
male grievance game
Yeah, only chicks are allowed to play the grievance game. Because equality and fairness.
Christ, what an asshole.
The most tired line of the day – Ford seemed “credible.” Even though she was caught lying about why she couldn’t be interviewed sooner, and she implausibly claimed that she didn’t know who paid for her polygraph. And wouldn’t hand over her therapy notes which supposedly corroborate her claims. Or let her therapist talk about the matter. The same people uttering this also think Hillary Clinton is an honest public servant.
I just sent Chuckles the clown another message from a loyal constituent.
I assume it’s futile. But I felt compelled anyway.
Good for you though.
Looking forward to voting against the fuck Lahey.
I get to cast a futile vote against Bob Menendez – famous for taking bribes and banging underage hookers.
I hate humanity. That is all.
The thing I hate most about this whole episode is that people I genuinely like and respect are reacting in ways that make me think extremely poorly of them, and vice versa, and it’s all for absolutely nothing. On a personal level, none of this matters, but people are willing and eager to cast aside common sense, basic decency, reason, the whole bit, for a chance to grandstand over something that has absolutely no impact on their lives whatsoever.
Well Nerkish is back with a very nifty new presentation. Highly recommended. Like the Daily Show back when it was actually funny.
I laughed my ass off.
Patrick Leahy may in fact be the most despicable excuse for a human being on the planet right now. NPR just ran an interview with him to discuss today’s hearing. He insisted that Ford is being truthful and that Kavanaugh is hiding something. He admonished Kavanaugh for not agreeing to an FBI investigation and essentially justified his insistence on it by claiming that if Kavanaugh has nothing to hide then he shouldn’t be afraid. The interviewer asked what evidence he expects to uncover by such an investigation that would delay the vote for another couple of weeks, and he completely danced around the question. She asked multiple times, much to her credit, and he refused to answer. Instead he touted the reliability of his gut feeling and how well it has served him throughout his career as a prosecutor. Did you catch that? In so many words he – someone that has held the fate of people’s entire lives in his hands – essentially admitted that he relies primarily on emotion to guide his decision making.
Fuck this entire planet. I want off.
I have a gut feeling Senator Patrick Leahy fucks sheep. Why doesn’t he submit to an FBI investigation to clear his name?
I would have never in a million years imagined myself ever saying this, but I now sincerely believe that Democrats are the single biggest obstacle to meaningful criminal justice reform. If anyone ever mocks me for this claim, I will hold up this Leahy interview as proof.
I forgot that shitstain was still alive.
