The Politics Thread

I read that some woman on CBS went on about being so in awe of his emotions she had to look away. It's amazing how many in the Beltway eat these [!@#$%^&*] sandwiches with pride. Talking points talking points talking points. They got their scripts and they are sticking to them.

 

Meanwhile he gets a break to, presumably, go get a tranquilizer dart to be more of the loveable, cuddly soccer dad and less of the raging alcoholic dad you hide in your room from as much as you can.

Agreed. I just keep hoping we can stave off as much damage as humanly possible that he plans on doing before January 2021.

Trump would not.  He really is obsessed with putting white people (especially men) back in complete power.

[DRW50]

 

Of course. He knows his audience. 

 

CNN in his corner too.

 

Same old 'liberal' media.

It's a play to lock in Trump's support - he feared being pulled. If that holds all he needs are the senators. I still think it's 50-50 with the ones in question.

Lindsey Graham is making this about him. 

[ReddFoxx]

Scarlett O'Hara is a Senator. Who knew?

And he is obsessed with Bill Cosby. I think he believes that's a clever line to use. It's not.

Random thoughts:

 

Kavanaugh is doing a good job in getting the Democrats to go nowhere with their questioning

Mitchell's questions are tougher than I expected

 

 

[marceline]

I think that Kavanaugh is drunk. 

[DramatistDreamer]

 

Or on some type of substance.

A weak stomach, yet still a prolific beer drinker.

The guy refuses to ask for an independent investigation. He's showing he's extremely partisan and has no judicial temperament

 

I can imagine how Dr. Ford would have been torn to shreds with this type of behavior but she's a woman. The hypocrisy in the justification of white male rage is on clear display to 300 million people. I was horrified by Anita Hill but I also don't remember Thomas aggressively going after female senators on the panel. A black man would have never gotten approved for doing that - oh wait again there were no women at the time on the panel.

 

I can say I absolutely abhore Gorsuch's positions but his temperament and fitness never an issue.
