The Politics Thread

They may, they may not. I've thought Kavanaugh was doomed since last week and I still think so. I'm not the only one.

I see that Chuck Todd has picked up the talking points I've seen on Twitter about how the Democrats are just supporting Ford instead of questioning her. 

 

(never mind that if they did question her, he and the other hacks would say that even the Democrats doubted her story)

 

It's not hard to know why he keeps his job in spite of being a failure on every level. He would do anything and has always done anything to get a Republican a win. 

 

Wow. No shame.

Ol' Chuck is getting roasted on Twitter.

I'll bet twenty bucks Brett was drunk and groping all the bridesmaids at the wedding.

Lindsey Graham and his woe-is-me bullsh*t.  Just pathetic.

Good.  He SHOULD feel ambushed.  He told America that electing Trump president would be disastrous, then turned around and practically gave the man a b.j.  Whatever hell he's got coming to him, he deserves.

Trump says a top expert on China, Michael Pillsbury, went on a "good show" he won't name - it was Tucker Carlson's - and said China has total respect for "Donald Trump's very, very large brain."

 

Trump denies that the UN was actually laughing at him yesterday, instead claims "they were laughing with me."

If only Trump had been that way.

 

You know, Judge Kav, now would be a great time to 'fess up.  Or flee the country.  Whichever works best for you.

That's what it's like to live in the head of a delusional narcissist

 

Although China has mastered how to play Trump probably more than Russia so they very well may have told him that while snickering behind his back.

The bar is so low for Kavanaugh. You can see already that the GOP has their puppets in place on NBC and the other media outlets always know the score too, likely ready to push the "both sides are broken...America makes me want to boo hoo," lines Jeff Flake trotted out. All Kavanaugh has to do is make a sad face and put in eyedrops and blink, and everyone will swoon about how he is the real victim. 

 

The GOP are such morons and so drunk with power that they went into a hearing they never should have gone into, not realizing how badly their senators come across or that not everyone would see Ford as some kind of insane liar. 

 

The worst part is they are so drunk with power because they have a long history of doing whatever they want and getting away with it. That's why I just don't think anything is going to change now.

But that would have deprived us of so much merriment....

Look, I don't mean to be flippant about this. I don't have to live in a country ruled by him, and I wish to God he had never been elected. But at the same time it's hard not to be both completely shocked about how totally ignorant and stupid he makes himself look (without even realizing it) and at the same time be unable to stop laughing at his outrageous statements.

I just pray that this nightmare is over soon and he is reduced to nothing but a bad memory. 

I just hope that he won't have made irreparable damage by then.

You're not flippant, you're telling the truth.

The soap opera fan in me hopes that Kamala Harris goes all Herb Callison and sends Kavanaugh into a Karen Wolek style meltdown. I know, it's hoping for too much for life to imitate art.
