When my wife and I have discussed this ongoing saga, I have said that this was the hill worth dying for, but more accurately this is the hill worth fighting for, because the Democrats have shown that even incremental good faith efforts that Grassley made(and Flake's) were never going to be reciprocated, now or in the future.

I also saw a comment that any other Republican administration would have folded way earlier, and that was the big miscalculation, that this time, it would be business as usual......

Maybe, but I doubt it.

Ford threw friends under the bus. It's strange, Kavanaugh had hundreds of friends, co-workers and colleagues come out to attest to his integrity, but the only people supporting Ford were strangers; activists, politicians, and lawyers. I'm convinced Feinstein and others basically conned Ford into being a hired victim, convincing her that they will beat Trump and Kavanaugh.

Ford is just another castoff in a long line of collateral damage for the Commie Cause.


This.

Heitkamp voting NO on Kavanaugh.

That's one pickup this fall.
It looks real bad for her in her re-election bid, so now she is free to vote her "conscience", even though we all know she doesn't have one.

I have never watched MSNBC, except for funny youtube clips. But on today's Morning Joe show, they said some surprising things, like how the media and Democrats went over the line.

"MSNBC’s Thursday “Morning Joe” panel said President Donald Trump’s “constant assault” against the media is working and is changing hearts and minds across the country.

“The one thing we can document and you can document it any number of ways is the president’s constant assault on the media, fake news, has really, really worked. It has sunk in all across the country,” said “Morning Joe” regular Mike Barnicle.

“There’s been a series of stories about the Supreme Court appointment that have appeared on television and in newspapers that have caused, I think, a lot of Americans in this polarized political atmosphere of ours to stop, pause and say, ‘Hey, this is just a bit too much,'” he added.

Co-host Mika Brzezinski also accused her media colleagues of being too emotional and said they’re letting their opinions override the truth. “It’s not supposed to be how reporters feel and how media analysts feel at this point in a case like this,” Brzezinski said. “And it’s not even a case yet, although the FBI is looking into it. It’s a hearing. It’s a job interview.”

Brzezinski also said Kavanaugh’s demeanor does not make him guilty of sexual assault.

“And what we saw and what I think is playing into this blowback you’re talking about is a lot of members of the media reacting emotionally,” she said. “Like, for example, did Brett Kavanaugh feel like maybe he was lying? Did it feel like maybe he was lying about drinking? Did it seem like maybe he was lying about blacking out? Did he seem like he was kind of a jerk? Did it seem like he was overly aggressive? Yes, sure, but that does not mean he did it.”

No minds have been changed in the production of this made for cable TV reality show.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Indeed quite accurate. Since I am away from a TV screen most of the time I have not been subjected to the circus. It reminds me of the OJ Simpson soap opera.

So Coons And Flake were joined at the hip talking about bi-partisanship and Congress working together. Now that Flake has stated that the FBI investigation was thorough, and I presume he will vote for Kavanaugh, and anyone with a brain knows Ford is lying, where is his little buddy Coons on the vote now? Party line vote huh!

Hello, kettle... this is pot...
Why would anyone with half a brain watch “Morning Joe”? It's all just emotional gobbledygook.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

The DEMs unmercifully attacked Brett Kavanaugh that his yearbook reference to "Devils Triangle" meant sex between 2 men and a woman.

Judge Kavanaugh kept saying it was a drinking game.

With Heitkamp saying she will vote No on Kavanaugh, it sounds like Schumer is doing his "cost/benefit" calculations.




https://www.washingtonpost.com...m_term=.54c2ceb62764


"As Sen. Charles E. Schumer pondered the judicial nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh, the New York Democrat could barely contain his anger. He viewed the choice as “among the most political in history” and could not think of another nominee “more designed to divide us.”
Schumer was not talking about President Trump’s nomination of Kavanaugh to be a Supreme Court justice. It was 2004, and Schumer helped lead the Democrats’ questioning of Kavanaugh to move from the George W. Bush White House to a federal circuit judgeship. Schumer and his Democratic colleagues cast him as an extreme conservative and were so effective that they blocked Kavanaugh’s nomination for three years.
Now, however, as Kavanaugh prepares for his Tuesday confirmation hearing, Democrats are still searching for a strategy that could stop his ascension to the highest court. Schumer said in an interview that his concerns from 2004 “are still the case” and have only grown as a result of Kavanaugh’s judicial rulings for 12 years.


“He has a very nice smile, but an inch below the surface, he is a hard-right warrior,” Schumer said in an interview.
Then, as now, Kavanaugh symbolizes to Democrats how partisanship has overwhelmed the process for judicial nominations. Trump’s selection of him to fill the seat vacated by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, for whom Kavanaugh once served as a clerk, underscores a long-standing Republican goal to infuse the federal courts with judges who will strictly interpret the Constitution and seal the high court’s conservative direction on issues such as abortion and regulations."

Apparently columnist Bret Stephens is a Nevertrumper Neocon, but today's column titled "For Once, I'm Grateful For Trump" was run at The New York Times. They actually had the balls to print this.

quote:
For the first time since Donald Trump entered the political fray, I find myself grateful that he’s in it. I’m reluctant to admit it and astonished to say it, especially since the president mocked Christine Blasey Ford in his ugly and gratuitous way at a rally on Tuesday. Perhaps it’s worth unpacking this admission for those who might be equally astonished to read it.

I’m grateful because Trump has not backed down in the face of the slipperiness, hypocrisy and dangerous standard-setting deployed by opponents of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. I’m grateful because ferocious and even crass obstinacy has its uses in life, and never more so than in the face of sly moral bullying. I’m grateful because he’s a big fat hammer fending off a razor-sharp dagger.

Let's get it all.

- Put Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court
- Gain in the Senate
- Hold onto the House
- Prosecute the crap out of the lying scumbags who have framed Brett Kavanaugh
Let's all follow President Trump's lead on this and call it the "Democrat" party--there is nothing remotely "democratic" about it....
