Trump announces Brett Kavanaugh as his 2nd SCOTUS nominee.

He was terrific in that Batman movie!

And a helluva marksman.

I'm looking forward to this election. I'm pulling for a split Congress to completely stall everything. Trump is getting a little itchy on his federal employee bashing finger. I can't have that. 9 years 'til retirement!

You're a Federal employee?

Good grief......

I'm the Deep State. The adult in the room. I'm holding everything together in these days of turmoil!

Too bad I can't take a camera in my office. That's more true than anybody here actually knows.

Kavanaugh will be approved for SCOTUS...

Republicans Murkowski and Collins, and Democrats Donnelly and Manchin expected to vote for Kavanaugh

Better hope that's wrong, as Donnelly is a NO.

I just spent two weeks in Indiana...if true, he just flushed his small lead...

Rut roh. CNN reporting that after Flake stated he's going to vote YES, Delaware's own Chris Coons went off with Flake and they haven't been seen for quite awhile.

Flake is wavering!

Time to get Coney Barrett warmed up.

[mainejeff]

Flake is living up to his last name.

My condolences.

The GOP might have to use water boarding on Collins to get an answer from her. She's disliked by just about everyone in Maine now. I don't see her running for re-election in 2020.

Grassley just left the room to take his Metamucil.

So Flake wants a one week delay and FBI investigation.

May as well just kill Kavanaugh and bring on Coney Barrett. This will never end with Kavanaugh.

I say let's do the FBI investigation. If they can't find anything, nobody will.

BTW, I think the Russians are locked and loaded with more allegations on Kavanaugh if he gets confirmed.

Nah, the FBI isn't going to find anything at this point. I think they do a cursory FBI review, use that as a way to say they investigated (other than the Senate investigation that already happened) and Kavanaugh is voted in late next week. There's nothing pressing on the SCOTUS docket next week anyway, no rush to get him in so that he can lodge his opinion.

There needs to be some clarity and civility that crops back into this process, and I think it would at least be an olive branch that the GOP can give to say that they took a step to do that by having the FBI re-do the background check. Whether the Dems take it or not is another thing, but it would at least be better than the circus that was yesterday.

Was Clinton being accused of serial rape with a job on the line? Hardly the same thing, Treep.

Trump still has to tell the FBI to reopen the background investigation, iirc.

Is he going to do that? Dude is probably raging round the West Wing right now.


And, at the people who said the suggestion of reopening the background investigation wouldn't be the obviously prudent thing.

[Ibanez]

Serious question for a second: Have you ever been falsely accused of a sex crime that would ruin your career and family?

I have, but that's a story for another day. His emotion was very similar to mine during my ordeal.

No, because I don't partake in sex crimes.

FFS, you’re naive.

Neither do I. That Didn’t stop a girl from accusing me in college. She was 100% sure it was me and a friend. That didn’t stop the stripper at Duke. You don’t need to “partake in sex crimes” to be accused of it.




Thank God I had witnesses and an alibi if not even being in the same state when it occurred.

The Dems aren't really interested in a FBI investigation lets be honest about that. They're interested in the long game & stalling & believeing the longer they can string things out the more they can assail Kavanaugh. it would be a shocker if the FBI investigation came up with any new info. But the Democrats next play would be to ask for testimony from the same people the FBI investigate, ask for testimony from the other accusers of Kavanaugh, to ask for Judge's testimony, to ask for time to review whatever they can either dig up or manufacture while the FBI investigates. Flake is playing right into their hand.

Wrong again. Turn the dial down on your TDS. He just said that he will rely on what the Senate wants to do. Also spoke kindly of Ford.

[Skjellyfetti]

Can TDS also stand for Trump Dick Sucking? If so, your dial is on 11.

Grassley is a disaster. As are Feinstein and Leahy.

JFC, clean house of these feeble fuckers.
