Members Juliajms Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 Yes. I think it's the idea of 45 outright firing Mueller that has people alarmed, not so much a pardon for Manafort and Cohen. I certainly see why people are concerned that our institutions won't withstand this onslaught. It's not like the Republicans can be counted on to reign Trump in. I feel very grateful that Trump has pissed on this counties generals time and again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 Not that you can believe anything out of lying Sanders' mouth but for the time being, they are claiming that Rosenstein is still on the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 ^ That's good news. This is not. I was hoping that CBF and DR would not have to testify. I hope Avenatti really has what he says he has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 There has been some irresponsible reporting the past few days but this takes the cake. Rosenstein was never going to get fired today and I doubt he will Thursday. Between Jonathon Swan and his Axios story this morning about Rosenstein resigning to the NYTIME being so petty about Ronan Farrow and Jane Meyer's story to try and discount it are about the 2 most disgraceful journalistic acts I have seen in recent months and that's saying a lot. The Times learned absolutely NOTHING from the Judith Miller saga. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Let's assume for the moment that individuals have indeed threatened harm against Kavanaugh and his family. Do you mean to tell me that Kavanaugh, the "carpool dad" who coaches his daughter's basketball team, would stay the course, even if it meant subjecting his wife and children to further threats and humiliation? Maybe his family urged him not to withdraw his nomination and that's why he said what he said. That's always possible. But, having lived for thirty-three years with a loving father who would have thrown himself on top a live grenade to protect me and my older brother, I can't see how any husband and father in his situation would think anything was more important than keeping his loved ones out of harm's way. IMO, any other dad would say, "To hell with it, the SCOTUS ain't worth subjecting my kids to this bullshit!" and they'd withdraw. But, maybe that's just me. I was hoping the same thing. These women are about to enter the lion's den. May God have mercy on their souls. "For the time being" being, of course, the operative words. I still think that man's on his way out. And if it doesn't happen after their meeting on Thursday -- between them and Ford/Ramirez's testimonies, it's gonna be a helluva news day -- it'll happen very soon afterward. Forgot to do this earlier, but thanks, you two, for answering my questions!

Members I Am A Swede Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 Forgive me if I'm not feeling much sympathy for him, when his accusers (and so many other women over the years) have been subjected to all this and worse without actually being guilty of anything. Yes, I can feel sympathy for his wife and children, but for him? No way! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) ICAM. And no, I don't feel much sympathy for him. I'm just pointing out the fact that not even his own family's safety is more important to this man than being named to the SCOTUS. Up next: UNICEF!

Members Vee Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 I woke up to the news that Rosenstein was 'assumed to be fired' and sensed it was another bullshit cry wolf moment for the media to get rooked by. Went to sleep for another hour, woke up again and I was right. As the Gabriel Sherman piece upthread indicates, Trump is scared and desperate. He knows he's in real danger now.

Members Khan Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) You think this "smear campaign" hits a "new low," Senator McConnell? Wait 'til they start digging up [!@#$%^&*] on you! Please register in order to view this content The only thing Kavanaugh is standing up for is his own, blasted ego, "pure and simple."

Members Khan Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Nevermind, my lazy ass googled it for a change, lol. Just what does he think THAT will accomplish? And Fox News? Talk about "preaching to the choir"! Kavanaugh's clearly too afraid to talk to the "East Coast liberal social elite media," so he goes where he KNOWS they won't ask him any real questions. Whatevs, Brett. You effing p***y.

Members ReddFoxx Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 That interview will do about as much good as one asking for receipts for crack. It will only make things even worse than they already are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 Conflicting reports that there is a possible FOURTH accuser are going around, too. What a freaking shyt show this is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
