Something rotten in Denmark indeed. Look at the incestuous relationships among Republicans; this was fr9m back in August, but it’s no less relevant. This is sick.

Because you want it to be. One can craft just about anything they want to out of years of activities and comments. Can work against both sides and be used by partisans like you.

BTW, you should read some things about the backroom politics of the 60's. If the above affected you that much I suggest you brace yourself. Sadly, the backroom thing isn't done as much anymore.

This is what McConnell and the Republicans did on Kavanaugh and the Democrats were lost and bewildered. They still don't know what hit them ..... like they don't know what hit them when Trump won the presidency.

Whoopee shit. You got a piece of nominee through when you control both halves of Congress and all three branches of government. You want a cookie for that?!?

Next time, try not to nominate the rapist.

Assholes.

No kidding. He now has power to make rulings that affect their sons and daughters as well. Not so smart.

^^^This sort of rhetoric is what defines the Republicans. It speaks to their machiavellian soul. And why the majority of Americans despise them.

Stop with the whining.

As far as what Americans feel about Republicans, since 2008 the Democrats lost an almost filibuster proof senate control, the House where they held a huge majority, the presidency, over 1000 state legislature seats and 14 governorships. If this equates to Americans despising "them", may be the Democrats should crave for some of that hate.

Yes, "outwit, outlast and outplay" is how Kavanaugh was confirmed - you can add "outfoxed". The dumbest move was when Democrats pushed for a FBI supplementary review which gave cover to the the senators who were the swing votes.

To top it off, the Democrats tactics energized a complacent Republican base even as Kavanaugh was confirmed - and the Democrats shot themselves in the foot!

Dumbness personified has been the Democratic strategy.

More hateful Republican spewing. The sneering in your voice heard round the country.

You win by gerrymandering and making voting more difficult for the poor, the disabled, and the elderly. And you're proud of that!

Cover? That was joke. They did not even interview Ford. Gave no cover at all. Collins is totally exposed with that vote as are all the swing voting senators.

Fudge that. Read the whole thread and tell me there isn’t an incestuous relationship among the GOP (in this instance McConnell and his wife Chao), The Federalist Society and wealthy funders (in this case Philip Anschutz). Read the whole thing and tell me what the parallel is on the liberal side. You guys scream and cry and carry on about George Soros when in reality you are guilty of that which you project onto the liberals.

And I’m not ignorant of history, but you appear to be ignorant of what year it is. Surely we should be better than the GOP is today.

The poor and disabled will be voting republican this November. They have jobs now, unlike when the food stamp President was around.

But their real wages are terrible, so while they have jobs they're still struggling to get by and aren't seeing much benefit for themselves to this "great economy," they still see most of the benefit going to the people who need it the least.

The Democrats did not have a leg to stand on and not only Collins but even Manchin accepted the FBI review. Remember when those Democratic senators said all it needed was three more days for a FBI review? Coons and Flake agreed on a week. Are you going to withdraw support from Manchin? I suspect some Democratic voters will do just that ..... and shoot themselves in the foot again.

The Democrats got played, the Republican voters were energized ..... and Kavanaugh was confirmed. I thought the Senate was up for grabs but with the Democrats sheer incompetence, I think there is a good chance the Republicans will gain seats.

Count your blessings ....... the next will be Ginsburg and/or Breyer while Trump is in office. But never fear ...... Avenatti is there to save the Democrats!

When all else fails blame gerrymandering instead of the fact that Democrats are out of touch with much of middle America.

Which Dems said the FBI would need no more than three days? I remember Coons came to the compromise with Flake to give the FBI up to a week to investigate the allegations and develop additional facts to help the Senate evaluate the allegations, but I don't remember Coons saying a week would be more than sufficient. It seemed like limiting it to a week was the thing Coons compromised on to get Flake to agree to the investigation at all.

Dr. Ford was given the opportunity to read her prepared (well prepared, I'm sure) statement with all the time she needed and her attorneys by her side. I would think she included all the details she could recall.

I don't recall any of the Democratic senators saying three days. I do remember many DCUM posters saying that, though.

Yes Coons worked out with Flake that it would be a week and I think Dick Durbin and Amy Klobacher suggested that Kavanaugh should ask for the FBI review which would be done in a week.

DP, but I think you're missing half the issue with the FBI not interviewing Ford. An interview wouldn't have been just about getting Ford's account of what happened, it would also be for challenging her on inconsistencies between her claims and what they learned from other people they interviewed. If the FBI came back from all of the interviews they did and didn't have a single follow-up question for either Ford or Kavanaugh to get clarity on some point, I'd question whether they did their job at all. Since neither of them was interviewed by the FBI, it was almost necessarily an incomplete investigation because when people are trying to remember things from that long ago, there are bound to be some inconsistencies in accounts, even if they go to surrounding circumstances and not the allegations themselves.
