Trump announces Brett Kavanaugh as his 2nd SCOTUS nominee.

[JoltinJoe]

All you need to tell voters in the 27 "red" states is send two Republicans to the Senate, you'll get the judges you like throughout the federal system. And we'll get 54+ Republican Senators.

And the Democrats will say, "Hey, more people voted nationally for Democrats for Senate!"

I'm sure Democrats were saying something similar in 2008. It's not that easy, thankfully...

2008 was ages ago -- the pre-nuclear option Senate. The majority had to give, because in truth, you needed at least 60 votes to get something to the floor for a vote. People never previously saw the Senate as a pure majoritarian body that can ram through the majority's agenda, without compromise, with a bare 51 votes. Wait 'til the word gets around. As long as the Repubs continue to defend the people's rights to guns and religion, they will remain the majority party in the Senate for the foreseeable future.

I think they should all be dragged through the mud. The ones worthy of the position will survive it. You know how it works - first there has to be payback for refusing to even give Garland a hearing. After that we can talk about healing and shit. And you know they could have done better than this frat boy punk. There have to be better conservative candidates available than a loser like Kavanaugh. Even the Republicans should be able to find somebody that can hold his liquor and tell the truth once in a while.

While the Donks are throwing a hissy fit and soiling their gender neutral panties while trying to Bork an exceptionally qualified nominee, the Conk majority in the Senate grows.

If the Donks aren't stepping on a rake somewhere, they're tripping over their little dicks.

The pendulum swings... back and forth
If things get bad enough the populous en mas will actually start to vote
Which is why all the Republican gerrymandering right now is so important in Red States

Republicans don't actually want "The people" voting
and they're making all the necessary preparations in case they do

But if things stay about like they are the Republicans can hang on for a while longer
But the day that brown people and wemmen turn out to vote in real numbers
that is the end of balance in Congress

To get that pendulum to swing in their direction, the Dems need to attract new people, not just energize their base...

Do you think they did anything positive over the last few weeks to attract those new people???

Every indication, based on the Senate races, is they repulsed more people than they attracted...

Perhaps. But that's not what you said that I disagreed with.

Holding 2 Senators from every red state is a pretty difficult task.

Republicans lost a seat in ALABAMA less than a year ago... a state that is about as red as they come.

Really? That was an extreme outlier.

Doug Jones will lose by 20 points in 2020.

Charges against four California dentists -- including three brothers -- accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman at a Las Vegas Strip resort were dropped after cellphone video showed the allegations were "completely fabricated," one of the men's attorney said.

"At this sensitive moment in our history, we believe that women should be respected and heard and believed. But as this case shows, it is also important to keep a critical eye on those willing to use the (#MeToo) movement for their own selfish motives and remember that innocent until proven guilty is one of our country's bedrock principles."

[Col Hogan]

Kavanaugh is a gang rapist.
Ok, not a gang rapist, but a serial rapist.
Not a serial rapist, but a rapist.
Ok, not a rapist, but a blackout drunk.
Not a blackout drunk, but an alcoholic.
Not an alcoholic, but he drinks beer.
Ok, he just threw ice at somebody once in the 80s.

Is Trump all you got??? You know...and just don’t want to admit...that the Dems took a possible mid-term win and shit it away in their Cavanaugh Games kerfuffle...

A majority of voters believe that Kavanaugh’s confirmation process was politicized and mishandled, with 69% calling it a “national disgrace”. They blame both parties for being partisan, with 54% blaming the Republicans and 55% blaming Democrats. Further, 75% of voters believe that Senator Diana Feinstein should have immediately turned over the letter from Christine Ford to the Senate Judiciary committee in July, when she received it.

The Kavanaugh nomination battle also appears to have further polarized the political environment, with 45% of voters saying they are more likely to vote in the midterm elections. Ultimately, 63% of voters believe Kavanaugh will be confirmed.

I don't doubt that ^ nor was I denying that... Just pointing out the news cycle
I also don't think having Republican Senators representing Republican States is "bad"
So the whole thing lacks some drama for me

Stay tuned - it's the news cycle that I'm mostly talking about and the Pendulum effect in Politics

Heitkamp is going to lose her seat - in a state where people support the Kavanaugh nomination somewhere around the tune of 60-30

And her numbers took a downward swing coincidentally right about the time of Kavanaugh s testimony

The Senate isn't really in play but if Kavanaugh is having a net negative effect on Dems in purple states it could play in to the House

Maybe they really should continue with attacking the frat boy rapist and delaying until the midterms

I actually agree with you this time. The only thing I'd add is that the proportions in a population will eventually become such that even if they don't turn out at greater rates they will overwhelm the system. What the Republicans are doing now is gaming for the short term by trying to fire up and get turnout from shrinking demographic groups. It may work in the 2018 mid terms. It may work in 2020. But in the long run it's a poor strategy. As noted before: We are already at a point where the majority of United States citizens don't want the Republican Party. The Republican Party has been able to overcome that due to our system. But a point will come when the dam will break.

The only caveat is that the Senate ...our system again...can help them stay relevant because low population States get just as many seats as high population states do.

But I think the election that represents a total national population referendum is the Presidential election popular vote and the Republicans have only won that referendum once in the past seven tries. What we have now is minority rule. We have one of the two major parties in total control when the majority of people in the country prefer that not be the case.

Uninteresting letter. Interesting signature and ps. statement.

In a 1983 letter, a copy of which was reviewed by The New York Times, the young Judge Kavanaugh warned his friends of the danger of eviction from an Ocean City, Md., condo. In a neatly written postscript, he added: Whoever arrived first at the condo should “warn the neighbors that we’re loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us. Advise them to go about 30 miles...”

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/us/b ... -prep.html



Signed "Bart," of course. But you know, it's probably not the same Bart his best friend wrote about in the memoirs and Brett had no idea about in the hearings.

Face it, this guy is a serial liar. Aggressive drunk. Sexual predator. And entitled bitch.

So out of curiosity, where are the black people in your senario?

In a very interesting letter, Ford's ex-boyfriend attests in a sworn statement that she had no fear of flying and in fact coached one of her friends how to act during a polygraph.

Q: Have you ever had discussions w/ anyone on how to take a polygraph?
A: Never.

Q: I don’t just mean countermeasures - any sort of tips or anything like that?
A: No.

Q: Have you ever given advice to someone who was looking to take a polygraph?
A: Never.



She lied under oath during the hearing. She lied to the committee before the hearing. She has committed perjury. LOCK HER UP!

[Baldy]

Guessing this probably isn't real but still funny.

In another sworn statement, the other "accuser's" ex-boyfriend stated that Julie Sweatnick is a gangbang whore.

https://www.scribd.com/document/3899758 ... from_embed

Put her in the same cell with Ford...LOCK HER UP!

Let's put this national disgrace behind us, get this man his life back, and get him on the bench as soon as possible.
