“If the Navy man who has volunteered to be the most hopeless candidate in America has something to teach the Democratic Party, it is that in a battle, every ship must be manned. Even if it is bound to sink.”

“Yeah, if only we could go back to the halcyon days of peace and civility that were the early days of the US Congress.”

He’s not on trial you moron. It’s a job interview for the most exclusive job in the entire nation. If I am interviewing people and in the middle of the process multiple people call me to say one of the candidates committed sexual assault, I don’t hire that person.  They don’t go to jail or have their life ruined…

You are (I assume intentionally) missing the point. The preponderance of evidence is clear that he is not fit for a lifetime appointment to the nation’s highest court. This is a job interview not a criminal case.

I still think there’s probably a better than 80 percent chance that Kavanaugh is confirmed, but the president choosing to go after Ford yesterday suggests one of two things: A: He’s a little worried about where this is headed or B: The Times piece on his financial crimes distracted him and put him off message. Either…

Oh, it’s a lock Manchin votes to confirm. When I try to configure it in my mind, counting up votes and hoping Kavanaugh doesn’t get through, I don’t ever put Manchin in the “nay” category. He’s definitely voting to confirm.

This is my main concern. What group is going to have to pay for what happened?

To which Trump replied “Ricin? You know I don’t like chinese food.”

Someone should send him some flyers from “Hair Club for Men”- maybe he’ll give himself a heart attack from outraged vanity.

I’m a Democrat and I don’t think I’d get all upset over Schumer getting killed on the floor of the Senate.

Yeah...my evening plans just narrowed down to me, myself, that story, and half a bottle of Scotch.

“Whoa, looks like Marks recently paid whatever buttload amount of money to hold her daughter’s lavish, 300-person wedding at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.”

Yeah, his supporters see this as evidence that he’s SMART.

I doubt they will unless all the republicans do. I mean, you never do know, but being the deciding vote when there were Republicans voting against to give him cover would dry up any sources of reelection funds coming in, if nothing else, and the only people it would impress are people that are so hardcore Republican…

Manchin will probably approve. 

I’m so shocked that none of these Senators seem to consider how fucking bad this is going to make them look in the future.

They will stamp their feet very publicly, and say that Kavanaugh has been a very naughty boy, and should attend his Supreme Court hearings, that they will totally vote him into office for, while wearing a Cone of Shame, if that were allowed.

Yeah but it’s just a little light perjury about his personal alcohol use, not serious perjury about, I dunno, personal relationships. Learn the difference!

Kavanaugh could sexually assault Susan Collins on the Senate floor on live TV and be assured of at least 48-49 votes.

It’s looking increasingly likely that there is evidence he lied under oath. I’m not sure that will stop Manchin, Collins, Murkowski and Flakefrom confirming him. But do any of them really want to be associated with him in the event that those lies get him impeached from SCOTUS after the midterms?
