The lack of civility on display this morning by the Democrats during the Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearings is clear indication that the Democrats have concluded they don’t have the votes to stop the Confirmation!

As desperate as the Democrats sound, I believe it’s dawning on them they won’t regain Control in November.

Yesterday was Labor Day and still no......well, you know!

how many kavanaugh documents do you wanna hoard in secrecy?



“What are we trying to hide? Why are we rushing?” Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) asked.

Democrats have charged that documents on Kavanaugh’s career have been withheld without justification, particularly those from his tenure as a Bush staffer. Senators have reviewed nearly 200,000 pages that cannot be disclosed to the public, and the Trump administration is withholding another 100,000 pages from Congress altogether, claiming those documents would be covered by presidential privilege.

Leahy said there are gaping holes in the record, spanning several years of Kavanaugh’s career in the Bush White House, and that the Senate was abandoning its obligation by not first reviewing those documents before beginning confirmation hearings this week. “It’s not only shameful, it’s a sham,” Leahy said. “This is the most incomplete, most partisan, least transparent vetting for any Supreme Court nominee I have ever seen.”

I love how these grandstanding Committee members are belly aching on-and-on about how it will take only one vote for change.

CORRECT- this is exactly why Donal Trump was elected our President!!!
(and the fact NO ONE wanted Crooked Hillary appointing anyone)

I think they're belly-aching more about the 93% of Kavanaugh's White House records that are being hidden. Even documents which committee chairperson REPUBLICAN Chuck Grassley asked for in order to make a proper decision aren't forthcoming.

Fact: Unprecedented

Opinion: highly suspicious

I will say that televised committee hearings, even important ones, underline that fact that politicians are failed actors. Dear lord, they love the camera.

Bytor Peltor 09.04.2018 02:59 PM

Fair point, but only to a point......that point being?

Every Democrat speaking before Kavanaugh ends their diatribe by admitting they can’t support him based on everything they’ve ALREADY seen, based on his previous rulings.

My point being, there will be nothing in the “hidden” documents that will sway the Democratic votes......Democrats are voting against Kavanaugh, but they don’t have enough votes!

All Democrats can hope for is for some Republicans to abandon ship, but I highly doubt there is anything in the “hidden” documents to cause them to do so!

Could be something to sway Republican votes.

But they don't even wanna know.

And just a wild theory, but there's probably something to make this incredibly unpopular nominee even less popular with the public. This doesn't matter in terms of the process, but certainly matters in elections.

I think those Republican-Democrat monopoly politicians are quite successful actors.

I guess it's officially, technically illegal for US government to plan an assassination. I didn't know that was on the books. I'm guessing Trump didn't either. (Or, he did and didn't give a fuck) Either way.

And for Mattis to ignore the order? Not sure how to read that. Good job looking out? Coup? Both? Not sure.

Opinion piece in The New York Times:

 


I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

O-BAMA YOU'RE SO FINE YOU'RE SO FINE YOU BLOW MY MIND O-BAMA! O-BAMA!

After years (feels like centuries at this point) of Drumpf's incoherent rants on Twatter and Monty Python versions of the Nuremberg rallies, Obama's both rational and moving speech seemed like beamed in from another PLANET. Glad to have him back.
