    Know what would make that far less likely? Nominating women. But you didn't think about that, did you?

    If the GOP does not stand up to this character assassination attempt on Kavanaugh, every judicial nominee moving forward is going to suffer last minute sexual assault allegations.

    I don't think the men on SJC know what unequivocal means, bc Judge's denial sure as hell wasn't that.

    Damaging to Kavanaugh. His alleged accomplice and character witness, Mark Judge, wrote the following in a review. See for yourself how Judge describes "the wonderful beauty, of uncontrollable male passion," how "every man who’s fit to live has his own stories about the time."

    I'm curious how many of the 65 women who signed the letter everyone is touting went to Holton Arms, as distinct from other Catholic schools.

    Liz *BabyDick* Cheney is concerned that NYT let poorly vetted details about curtains (and not Iraqi WMDs) into their paper.

    Replying to @JeffreyGoldberg @nytimes
    Crazy idea - maybe a “journalism organization” should check their facts BEFORE they print the story.

    Trump is already BADLY underwater with female voters. If Kavanaugh is pushed through (especially w/o a real consideration of his clerkship with Kozinski, as an adult), that's only going to make things far worse.

    It is worth pondering that if this doesn't make a difference—and good money says it won't—2 of the 9 justices of the US Supreme Court will have been credibly accused of serious sexual misconduct and confirmed anyway. That is quite a statement to the women of this county.

    WOW. LOOK AT THESE TIME STAMPS. The went OUT of its way to take down a tweet that actually dared to call 4 deceased people “women” and put up a new one calling them “prostitutes.” Show these people some fucking dignity after they’ve been killed by the State, won’t you?

    There is very, very little support for Kavanaugh. Politicians are starting to notice.

    interesting — says on CNN the support for Kavanaugh in Alabama has “not been as overwhelming as you might think” from a red state

    Reminder: PApa continued to lie even after he got lawyers. And then he destroyed his Facebook account in an attempt to obstruct.

    Note: I know this guy has been on the force for 10 years. But what kind of behavioral signs have been missed since he started this murder spree in September? Or is it just overall permissiveness for use of force?

    This is probably an attempt to prevent stupid from happening durin Florence but it also coincides w/Manafort flipping.

    Where is Trump? Who is in Charge? Have not seen POTUS since Tuesday. He's released a photo with him and VP Pence being updated on the Hurricane. Tomorrow the WH just announced he will have another closed press update. But NO public appearances scheduled - again.
