Looks like they’re reaching over the wall to me:

Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

Go add up all the votes cast for the Dems and the GOP in the Senate. The Dems got the most votes by a significant margin. Gerrymandering is a disaster, and the House and state legislatures reflect that fact. Trump lost by about 3 million votes. In a few key states 3rd party candidates received far more votes than the…

The percent who vote is not the key problem. Methods exist to determine the views of the population. Elections happen only every few years, but laws and regulations get created constantly. If the representatives cared about the will of the people they could act on those perspectives. Our political system is broken and …

The so-called President can’t live without his opium of adulation fix. We’re paying for this, and there’s real work to be done. Does he ever do anything but hold worship rallies for his zombies, tweet insults and denials of collusion, and play golf?

Not if the Congress actually represented the will of the majority of citizens.

Several of these would seem to apply.

Good point. I don’t know about climbing. How many have done that route without needing the safety rope once? If others have done it flawlessly then I think you’re right, it’s not a unique athletic achievement, but certainly an astonishing mental/physical achievement. As impressive as it truly is, without a lot more…

He only has one rule. If he wants to and can, he will.

Point is Collins didn’t elect Trump.  She was also just one of 50 Senators who voted to confirm Kav.  Even if he wasn’t confirmed Trump would have just nominated someone as bad.  So the real burden of blame should be on the voters. 

Focusing on her is like saying the field goal kicker won the game in the last second in a 51-49 game. It’s a dramatic trope that’s false. Fuck everyone one of the 51, and everyone who voted for Trump, a 3rd party candidate, or didn’t vote.

I like reading books

Gamble is just one concern. I’ve seen numerous articles stating Kavanaugh’s written opinions do support far more protection for sitting Presidents. But the long term consequences of him being on the bench for many other issues are also extremely troubling.

This article paints a somewhat different picture of who started the emails and the number of people with recollections of the events.

If they can control the list of accusers and witnesses the FBI can interview they can control the version of the report the Senate gets. Only hope would be a leak from inside the WH or FBI, but with so much at stake I have little optimism.

From what you say her testifying hasn’t precluded a local case being opened. No idea if that’s legally feasible, but if so can’t see any reason not to pursue it. As hard as it was for her I think the advantages of the world seeing her testify can’t be overstated. Even Trump had to admit she was extremely credible. No…

If he goes public with good evidence and credible witnesses, and bypasses the FBI report being classified by the WH it could help inflame voters. Trying hard to look for an ice cube in hell.

This is horsesh*t. But not the least bit surprising. Also won’t be surprised if the FBI findings aren’t made public but interpreted by the WH/GOP, or at best revealed to Senators as classified. Vote in time for him to be on the bench hearing Gamble, just as planned. Best we can hope for is enormous outrage and CAT 5…

Who in the entire world would want that temperament as the judge in traffic court, let alone having the last word on the most critical legal opinions for the country?

When you combine his volcanic rage against the Dems yesterday, with the implications of the Gamble case and Trump, there seems a very high risk of his impartiality being compromised.
