Quite the upstanding Supreme Court nominee. I guess the WH wants someone that mirrors the sexual predator sitting in the Oval Office.

Quote

In the letter, the woman alleged that, during an encounter at a party, Kavanaugh held her down, and that he attempted to force himself on her. She claimed in the letter that Kavanaugh and a classmate of his, both of whom had been drinking, turned up music that was playing in the room to conceal the sound of her protests, and that Kavanaugh covered her mouth with his hand.

Yet another sex offender on the Supreme Court? I thought Clarence Thomas already held this position. Leave it to the Republicans to always choose the most upstanding judges for Supreme Court justices.

Manafort the next candidate for the Federal Witness Protection Program?

The Russian oligarch who "loaned" Manafort $20 million isn't going to be happy about Manafort becoming a "rat" (as Trump calls "flippers").

Manafort will go in hiding under one of the following aliases: John Barron, John Miller or David Dennison.

Oh wait...those have already been taken.

Looks like not clapping not only gets you kicked out of the rally but visit with secret service as well. Welcome to the new dictorial regime. You must cheer for the orange one without question!

'Plaid shirt guy' dared to question Trump

And even more troubling was that Linfesty was then detained by the United States Secret Service: "Some Secret Service guys escorted me into this backroom area, and they just sat me down for 10 minutes." According to Linfesty, after being held in custody for simply not cheering enough for Trump, he was then released by the Secret Service and told that he should not come back.

I’m impressed with your certainty in what he said, I myself had great difficulty understanding his slurred speach.

 

He didn’t sound at all well.

Some people hear a person with a pre- or post-stroke/Alzheimer mumbling and some people hear a whiny little beotch. A matter of perspective.

Surprisingly Traitor Trump just didn't nominate himself for Supreme Court. He knows all the best words. He is always the smartest person in the room. And he is able to see both sides like in Charlottesville.

As Trump flew to Billings, Montana, for a rally where he was likely to rip into the article, more of his top advisers joined the crowd denying any responsibility for its authorship.

More like Cry Baby Trump appeared at the rally. Blubbering and moaning to his followers.

"There going to impeach me."

"Waah Waah!"

"And it will be all your guys fault!"

"You need to protect me from those awful Democrats!"

"Waah Waah!"

If you want to hear Alex Jones internal organs squeak just listen to any one of his podcasts (especially one on illegal aliens).

Yep, the Mooch has already covered this angle.

Come on... security stepped in and senior judges do not make a habit of going around shaking hands with strangers.

Strangers? Really? Guttenberg was introduced earlier by Senator Feinstein. Maybe Kavanaough was daydreaming about being on the Supreme Court or just completely dismissed anything the Senator was saying.

Parkland father rejects White House excuses after Kavanaugh fails to shake hands

Quote

Earlier in the day, Guttenberg said, he had been publicly introduced during the hearing by Senator Dianne Feinstein, who had invited him as her guest. He said he thought Kavanaugh would probably have been able to recognize who he was from that introduction, even before he introduced himself again.

Oh, and then security was sent to harass Guttenberg 15 minutes later...really classy.

Quote

After lunch, when the hearing resumed, “security came and took me out of the room and they kept me out for 15 minutes, questioning me”, Guttenberg said. “They took my license and wanted to know why I was there.”

More likely Kavanaugh believes himself above such niceties since he will soon be a Supreme Court Judge. No need to cavort with the public anymore. He will most certainly be confirmed and then it won't matter. Just look at the Clarence Thomas sex scandal that was just swept away. People in power never concern themselves with silly things like morals or integrity.

Yeah, all about timing. Wait for that Republican President to be in office...

For whatever reason, Democrats are simply devolving into the party of the unhinged.  Few seem to be able to wield true statesmanship and instead now simply create chaos when thing don't go their way.  This is behavior I'd expect from spoiled 2 year olds having tantrums, not grown adults with the responsibility of running the country.  It's as disgraceful as it is pathetic. 

Yeah, let us not forget the Republicans on their own style (ref: Merrick Garland). Talk about a 2 year old tantrum by not even choosing to participate in the first place.

Mueller: "did you collude"?

 

Trump:  "no, do you have any evidence"?

 Let me fix Traitor Trump's response...

Mueller: "Did you or your campaign coordinate with the Russians to effect the outcome of the 2016 presidential elections?"

Traitor Trump: Of course not. But if anyone did collude with the Russians it isn't a crime because everyone does it and anyone would jump at the chance. So of course we worked with the Russians as it isn't a crime and both Hillary and Obama also worked with the Russians to rig the election against me which I won by the biggest margin ever in history! MAGA!

When a picture and action shows just exactly what a piece of sh#t type of man Kavanaugh really is...

Parkland victim's father and Kavanaugh: The handshake that wasn't

And another "witch" is caught in the probe. This time foreign money is directly linked to the Trump inaugural fund.

Lobbyist pleads guilty, says he helped steer foreign money to Trump inaugural and lied to Congress

Quote

Patten sought tickets to Trump's inauguration on behalf of an unnamed prominent Ukrainian oligarch, according to court documents released Friday, ultimately paying $50,000 for four tickets. Patten used another American as a "straw purchaser," funneling the Ukrainian's money secretly to the inaugural committee through a Cypriot bank account.

I guess the Ukrainian oligarch really wanted to go to a US presidential inauguration just for "kicks".

That whole inauguration fund smells funny as well. Just where did some of the money come from? And more importantly, where did the money ($106.7 million!!!) go? 

Why Trump’s inauguration money is a major part of Mueller’s Russia investigation

Trump seeks to backtrack

...

He never backtracks. He just comes out with a newer "Truth" and his followers just pivot right along with him without even blinking.  Rudy is also good at releasing new "truths" without any coherent pattern. Just like those "choose your own adventure" books. This current WH administration has decided on a "choose your own reality" strategy.  When one truth doesn't work, just pick another one. Facts are malleable.

Trump, without evidence

...

This should be the standard start to any of his tweets, any story that quotes him and at the start of any of his rallies.

Just get it out of the way so his blind followers don't have to deal with reality and the rest of us can just ignore anything that comes out of his mouth hole.

Six months for the "coffee boy". Makes you wonder what the rest will get.

Trump has credited his electoral success to his hard line on trade, which he has argued hurts U.S. workers and favours foreign competitors.

Talk about being hard on U.S. workers...How about cancelling a pay raise for U.S. federal employees?

I thought the economy was "on fire" and the country has plenty of wealth? I guess the money can only go to corporations and the top 1%. 

Trump cancels pay raises for federal employees

Quote

President Donald Trump told lawmakers on Thursday he wants to scrap a pay raise for civilian federal workers, saying the nation's budget couldn't support it.

Winning!!!   Well until the November mid-term election when these jilted federal workers will cast their ballots.

Not a big fan of "Flip Flopper" Graham whose biggest achievement was being a close friend to John McCain. Now that McCain is gone, Graham has lost his one and only moral compass. I also don't particularly care for Sessions but it does go to show that fellow Republican Senators have no loyalty to each other and will sell the other one out in a heartbeat to appease the "base".

Heck, fire Sessions and let the chips fall where they may. At this point, nothing seems to matter anymore anyway.
