Members I Am A Swede Posted September 29, 2018 Members Share Posted September 29, 2018 I'm not familiar with most of these, but this response makes me think that it's the same as it would be for me if Emmerdale was entirely populated by Dingles.

Members DRW50 Posted September 29, 2018 Members Share Posted September 29, 2018 Looks like it was just another likely successful attempt to con GOP voters. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/28/house-tax-puts-permanent-817246 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 29, 2018 Members Share Posted September 29, 2018 These Republicans who rejected a larger stimulus after the Great Recession because they were squawking about the deficits have the nerve to put deficit busting, ineffective tax cuts in place? They all need to be banished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted September 29, 2018 Members Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hell yes. I'm not as sure about Avenatti's client, but this woman deserves to be heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted September 29, 2018 Members Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) I smell a cover-up. I knew this would happen. I knew the minute they got the FBI to investigate, the WH and/or Senate would figure out a way to make their task impossible. It's bad enough they get only one week. But, now, the FBI will likely uncover nothing, b/c the WH has rigged it that way; and although it's sickeningly unethical, it's also perfectly legal. What. A. Joke. Honestly, I'm about as checked out as Ashley Kavanaugh appears to be (yet again) in the above picture.

Members Juliajms Posted September 29, 2018 Members Share Posted September 29, 2018 Yeah, this whole thing has been a debacle right from the start. Not having Mark judge testify, not talking to all the credible accusers or supporting witnesses. None of that is confidence inspiring. Sure looks that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 29, 2018 Members Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) It's the old adage: "Be careful what you wish for." People wanted an FBI investigation so badly, but it never occurred to them that the WH, through the counsel's office, could still set the parameters. I, myself, didn't realize as much, but I knew that if Trump wanted Kavanaugh in SCOTUS so badly, he'd find a way to make this investigation as toothless as possible. It'll take an act of God (or, yes, Robert Mueller) to stop that man from being confirmed. Otherwise...? If he gets in there, and we learn that he's guilty of so much as an unpaid parking ticket, @marceline and one of my FB friends are right: there's going to be violence.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 29, 2018 Members Share Posted September 29, 2018 It is rarely, if ever done but a SCOTUS can be impeached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted September 30, 2018 Members Share Posted September 30, 2018 Trump tweeted that the story is a lie and that they can investigate whatever they see fit. Some are saying that’s legally binding since the White House has said his twitter statements are official. Of course I put nothing past them so we will see what happens. Regardless a week simply doesn’t seem enough unless they really get all their offices involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 30, 2018 Members Share Posted September 30, 2018 I think many had a feeling this could happen, they are just trying to drag out as much as they can in case something else comes out. Kavanaugh being confirmed has always been a lock, unfortunately. It's just about trying to find some hope, however thin the hope is. At the very least fighting back this much gave such a clear picture to America of just how craven the GOP and Kavanaugh is thanks to those hearings. (I know some have said the whole thing has "galvanized" the right, but those voters were coming to the polls no matter what) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 30, 2018 Members Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) I was just coming here to post that, so good looking out @Juliajms. Even in the midst of all the terrible things that are happening, what's happening to these children should never be forgotten.
