Sorry for the grossness, but that organization sickens me to no end, and the fact that I am forced to fund them or go to prison is criminal!

DF receives CBF letter.

Does a bit of investigation.

Realizes it's not credible. Now what?

We can still use it as stalling and smear tactic.

Therefore she holds onto the letter.

Is this possible?

Manu Raju tweet

Sen. Manchin, leaving briefing, would not say which way he was leaning. He said he still needed to finish reviewing the report, saying he planned to go back tomorrow between 9a-10a. He said he made it about halfway through the material.

“Heidi made her decision, I’ll make mine.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Manchin is the only undecided DEM

sounds like the report is quite long

Pocahontas was at the rally today, spewing hate speech and preaching false rhetoric. Part of me actually enjoys the fact that this is heating up and the left is so exposing themselves. The battle lines are becoming more clear and I hope they suffer in November.


From the Indian:

Warren also took aim at the Republican men on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“I watched 11 men -- powerful men -- try to help another powerful man make it to another powerful position,” the Democratic senator said. “This is about hijacking our Democracy.”

I truly wish that opponents, talking heads, and whoever else would start confronting these commie bastards on them continually referring to the United States as a democracy.

It pisses me off to no end, and they are doing it for very well planned out reason. Goebbels knew it.

Lindsey Graham said is there is a supreme court opening in Trump's last year, he would hold it open until after the next election. Screw that. If Ruth Bader Ginsburg keels over, which she may do at any second, I say fill that seat while we can.

They're talking about holding a preliminary vote on Friday, and a roll-call vote on the weekend. Why the preliminary vote?

Remember the old filibuster rule, where you needed 60 votes to confirm a justice? The vote Friday is called a "cloture" vote, it is to cut off debate and allow the vote to take place. Now it takes only 50 to get a cloture vote. The cloture vote is a relic of the filibuster.

Sen. Richard 'Stolen Valor' Blumenthal: The FBI is Complicit in a Kavanaugh Cover-up, Or Something!

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...r-something-n2525538

Please take a moment to reacquaint yourself with the fact that Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) -- the man who's been preening about the importance of comprehensive honesty in recent days -- spent his entire political career lying to voters about serving in a war. Then he got caught. Then he got re-elected. With that in mind, watch as he casually sullies the FBI's updated background investigation into Judge Kavanaugh because he's bitter that it didn't serve the partisan outcome he sought:

"I have seen it and I want to re-read parts of it, but my very emphatic opinion is that this set of interviews is at best, most charitably, woefully incomplete. To put it bluntly, it smacks of a whitewash, even a cover up."

– Sen. Richard Blumenthalhttps://on.msnbc.com/2yg85aX

Sen. Blumenthal: FBI report on Judge Kavanaugh is ‘woefully incomplete’

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is pushing ahead with a critical test vote on Judge Kavanaugh's nomination tomorrow - setting the stage for what could be confirmation as soon as this weekend....

2,401 people are talking about this

The evidence for this supposed "cover up" can be found right next to Blumenthal's Vietnam War records, and in the same drawer as all the corroboration of the accusations against Judge Kavanaugh. Meanwhile, with other Democrats echoing this pathetic, predictable talking point, here's the other half of Hillary Clinton's failed ticket declaring the Bureau's work a "complete sham," clutching pearls over the fact that it took a mere five days to complete:



Tim Kaine

This so-called “investigation” is a complete sham.

@timkaine

This process was wrapped up in just *5 days,* despite the many witnesses pleading to share relevant information who were ignored by the FBI.

1,024 people are talking about this

Goodness gracious, the Bad Faithers bellow, this only took five days!? Are these people hoping that no one will remember their own arguments from just a few days ago? Senate Democrats put out a press release on September 23 demanding FBI involvement in the Kavanaugh matter. Part of the precedent they eagerly cited was the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas background probe, conducted in 1991. Setting aside substantive differences between the two situations, the Democrats' missive included these lines:

"It Only Took the FBI Three Days to Complete Their Investigation of Professors Anita Hill’s Allegations of Sexual Harassment so The FBI Has Ample Time to Investigate Dr. Ford’s Allegations...On the same day that President George W. Bush received this request, the White House Counsel directed the FBI to investigate, which then produced a report only three days later to the Senate, prior to the Judiciary Committee’s second round of hearings on the nomination.

They meant George H.W. Bush, of course, but facts and accuracy aren't exactly paramount these days. Meanwhile, here's Schumer on September 26th, dismissing Republican concerns that an FBI probe would amount to a serious delay: "We haven't heard one actual reason why there shouldn't be an FBI investigation. Will it slow it down? It will take only a few days." To recap, the Democrats argued that the FBI alone could do this job. The Judiciary Committee could not. Letters from fact witnesses, submitted under penalty of perjury, were insufficient. It was the Bureau, or bust. Republicans, worried about another delay tactic, noted that an updated background check wouldn't be a full-scale criminal probe, and would simply gather statements -- which is exactly what happened in 1991. Never fear, Democrats replied, it'll be very short. And the FBI knows what they're doing.

And now, like clockwork, they're pulling a transparently cynical and partisan about-face. It only lasted a few days! They didn't interview all the hearsay "witnesses" we wanted them to! This is a sham! These people are dishonorable and not to be trusted. They got what they wanted, at least in theory; what they actually wanted, however, was a blow to Kavanaugh's viability. When the FBI failed to serve up their preferred partisan result, they howled and threw the Bureau under the bus -- after weeks of loudly insisting that only the Bureau could perform this task. Now, of a sudden, the FBI is part of a conspiratorial Trumpian cover-up, or whatever. And all of this is coming from the party that sat on Dr. Ford's uncorroborated accusation for two months, then leaked it against her wishes, at an opportune partisan moment. Shameless.

By the way, the White House instructed the FBI to interview whomever they saw fit. The FBI saw fit to question numerous witnesses, including key fact witnesses endlessly mentioned by Democrats. Mark Judge reportedly spent three hours with agents. They didn't question Kavanaugh or Ford because each of them had put their entire accounts on the record in lengthy public testimony just a few days prior, including lengthy Q&A sessions. They didn't interview people with no direct knowledge of the alleged incidents in question. They did their job, and Democrats are furious. I'll leave you with a crucial GOP Senator calling the process "thorough," and a CNN anchor (and Obama alum) shrugging that being accused of organizing a gang rape cult -- with Senate Democrats explicitly amplifying and legitimizing that outlandish, unverified, and dismantled claim -- is just part of the normal political process:
