There was a real possibility for that before the true soul of the Democratic party was bared with the character assassination efforts. That would be hard for anyone to forget. I view this as a lose-lose.

Read the David Brock piece. There was never, ever any possibility of that. Ever.

my pro-obama british relatives saw it as a character assassination effort. real rubbish going on with our elected officials. damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I don’t think she necessarily said that she’s not sure it’s sufficient. She just said that she wanted to review it herself. Lots of wishful thinking on this thread.

+1. He’s entertaining. But Trump has the I Want a Reality TV White Hoise vote sewn up.

NO. The Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee just outdid Trump in the reality TV programming. Opening hearing for Kavanaugh is a great example.

Character assassination?

You are saying this professor of religious studies is a liar. That, my friend, is character assassination.

He is willing to talk to the FBI that he is 100% certain that the person who whipped his penis out in Ramirez's face was Kavanaugh based on what he was told the night of or following day. And he told someone else a few years later. And that person is willing to talk to the FBI to confirm he was told the story.

You are saying these men are liars. They are just as professional, just as accomplished as Kavanaugh, and have nothing to gain by going public except death threats and harassment from crazed conservatives.

Tell us WHY you think they are liars and why you think they would lie.

It’s not character assassination if he did it.

And he did it. Brett Kavanaugh, alcoholic and jerk, pulled Christine Blasey into a bedroom with music playing so loud no one could hear her screams as Brett grinned against her, trying to take off her clothes and fondling her, covering her mouth to furthe rmuffle her screams.

Brett’s a “Renate alum”.

He’s not mocking a stutter when he wrote “ffff” in his yearbook or in his filthy beach week planning letter.

He insulted Senator Klobuchar.

He failed to answer questions.

He out and out lied about multiple insignificant things and at least one enormous letter - trucking in stolen emails.

Someone owns him by way of having paid off his eneormous gambling debts.

He is a toxic presence.

Wow, there's some National Enquirer slander right here folks! On DCUM. Step right up, and it's F R E E!!!.

Can't wait to see who the rabied Democrats attack next week. Come Halloween they're really bare their souls!

Liar. You posted to depress outrage at Brett Boof Besch Week, and just posted about China. You're a troll.

Yes she is. Maine hates Kav, and her base is moderate and democratic women. And she made her bones as a pro-choice R. Every decision for women he makes will be hung around her neck as the person who decided if he wshould be on the Court.

Kav has a special strain of nastiness going on with Alaskan Natives, who got Murkowski elected. It is very hard to see how she votes Yes. It’s a somewhat state specific, Kav specific problem, move than a liberal/conservative issue. And I suspect this is why McConnell wanted someone else. Because this is someone Murkowski cannot support, period. And she shouldn’t. He would badly hurt her core constituency. She’d probably be a yes for anyone else. on the short list but Amy Barrett.

Yet all this is for naught if Collins and Flake vote yes, correct?

Not to mention red-state Democrat Senators. Is there a strategy on the left? Is trying for a Senate majority more important than unseating K? How are campaign funds and get-out-the vote efforts looking in these particular states? Any wiggle room, there?

Yes, if they get Collins and Flake its done. Even without any of the others.

The link does not say anything about Murkowski saying the FBI did not do a sufficient investigation.

Yes. We need Collins or Flake. But Collins has a problem. She was super popular in Maine until Trump was elected. She was the swing vote on tax reform. She gave a yes in exchange for a promise on immigration reform and got shafted. And her approval rating dropped about 30 points— 75% to 45% (ish, I don’t have the link). Now she is the deciding vote again in a state where Kav is polling at 30% favorability.

Collins may vote yes. But I wouldn’t count it as a done deal until she says so. Because a yes is a career killer for her.

no, time to stop wasting everyone's time.
nukes have been getting built like there is no tomorrow for the last 9 years. get your eye on the ball.

if you want confirmation of this go read a chinese newspaper in chinese what they say about our mass media headlines day in and out. looking like fools.

I'm sick of people like you trying to rest of us to accept abuse and lies by Republicans. We can protest and vote for leadership corralling other nuclearizing authoritarian nations AND hold our reps accountable for this.

Actually many countries see this Fall's nominating process as highly politicized and ineffective to the core of the system. Who would want to be nominated when solicitations go out around the country to collect slander? Well, people who are fundamentally against the smoke, mirrors, and petty jabs from desperate politicians doing anything for a seat.

Wait, are you saying that conservatives are so unethical that they would unite to make up slander about a judicial nominee put forward by Democrats? That is exactly what you are saying. You think that conservatives are unable to act with integrity. Wow.

No way those 5 are going to feel the investigation was adequate. Just my gut.

Obrigada. I don't know WTF you are talking about but I can definitely prove you are lying and I am not.
