I am going to give money to the GoFundMe opposition collection for Susan Collin's opponent
I know she will chicken out and vote for Kavanaugh...
As will the others including Flake...

In years to come this will be a moment in history when all of these GOP Senators will be judged and found wanting...
This is a time for someone with personal courage and moral conviction to say this man is not deserving to be a judge on the Supreme Court--
There are certainly better conservative jurists out there that could have made it through without justifying this decimation of political dignity and precedence...

"Horrific claims"? You guys need to make up your minds. What this a terrible accusation because I thought it was just about the kinds of antics all high school boys take part in?

Right - the same things that are happening to your precious high school and jr. high school daughters. So make up your minds if they should just giggle to themselves or if they have something they should tell you about.

Well, now we know how God and His Son feel on the subject:
https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...-nomination-to

"The nation’s largest coalition of Christian churches on Wednesday called for the withdrawal of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court."

Turns out the Lords doesn't like inflexible partisan hacks:
"“Judge Kavanaugh exhibited extreme partisan bias and disrespect towards certain members of the committee and thereby demonstrated that he possesses neither the temperament nor the character essential for a member of the highest court in our nation,”

Religious folks are gonna have to decide if they prefer the thinking of a porn star adulterer and puzzy grabber - to a group of respected church leaders. Hmmm....which is it?

Avenatti’s client(?) came up with a whopper. That is, until she backtracked during her interview. Of course, her personal record is questionable according to people who know her. I know you guys want these stories to be true.

Duh...
We know that there are people who are part of the Trump cult...
We feel sorry for them and hope they wake up at some point and realize how they are manipulated

But face it--
Those people were the same hard-shell GOP voters before Trump showed up...
Last time TN was Democratic was probably during the Depression
And that might be what it takes to awaken them...
Wow. Those people are something. I voted at 18 for my first President, Reagan second term.

I've voted every midterm iirc, and every Presidential term for sure, since.

I've voted primarily Republican, but vote for a Democrat once in a while. Never again. If there's a Republican running against them, they get my vote.

If only a Democrat is running and there's no Republican nor Independent running and I leave it blank, does that invalidate my poll?

Love hearing those first time voters stepping up. Love how they are fed up with the weaponized politicized criminalized Intelligence Community, Academia, Fakestream Lamestream Blamestream Mainstream media, etc.

Blue wave my ass.

I'm still pondering her alleged fivesome.

Of course there are plenty. But Trump wants this one in order to up his chances of not having to answer Mueller Investigation s indictment while he is President.

Also Kav is a shoe- in to tip the scales to allow Trump to continue to enrich he and his family from his office...the Emoluments lawsuit.

And I believe he needs another thumb on the scales to keep his tax returns out of the hands of the American public. Sure to be a Supreme Court case. Soon.

Everyone knows this.
Trump is always the elephant in the room and the Emperor With No Clothes.

More intriguing is why, what do all these Republican flippers from pre election never Trumpers to protect at all costs, have to hide themselves???? Or to benefit from themselves?????

Democrats have created the most conservative USSC Judge ever to serve. But only for 30-40 years.

Letter to Senate Committee chair indicates pronouncement of previous confidential FBI investigations being free of inappropriate behavior is inaccurate.

Senate Democrats suggest past FBI background checks on Kavanaugh include evidence of inappropriate behavior

Senate Democrats suggested in a new letter Wednesday to the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee that past FBI background checks on Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh include evidence of inappropriate behavior — claims quickly refuted by Republicans as “baseless innuendo.”

The letter — signed by eight of the 10 Democrats on the committee... challenged the accuracy of a tweet from the committee’s Republican staff on Tuesday that read: “Nowhere in any of these six FBI reports, which the committee has reviewed on a bipartisan basis, was there ever a whiff of ANY issue — at all — related in any way to inappropriate sexual behavior or alcohol abuse.”
The Democrats said the information in the tweet is “not accurate,” urging the GOP to correct them.

“It is troubling that the committee majority has characterized information from Judge Kavanaugh’s confidential background investigation on Twitter, as that information is confidential and not subject to public release,” Democrats, led by Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), wrote to the committee’s chairman, Charles E. Grassley. “If the committee majority is going to violate that confidentiality and characterize this background investigation publicly, you must at least be honest about it.
