As a Chinese person, I can speak to my family's relationship with fungi of all types.As if there was any doubt.
Hes going on about himself and the allegations against him...
Also China has lots of respect for Trumps large brain....
Master Projector sounds like a step up from Grand Dragon.You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who projects or deflects like this man
Yes, just like Trump University.
Unsure if this was posted yet, but this is the type of shit that shows he'll still probably be approved
Yeah this is what I really don't get.On the most recent 538 podcast they raise a good point about this: Why fight this hard for Kavanaugh?
No one seems to really love him in Congress, he comes with a ton of baggage that could galvanize the Democratic base, and the Republicans could easily pivot onto someone else. So why fight for him?
Outside of Trump liking his opinions on Executive power and simply not wanting to take an L, what is the benefit here? They could easily find someone "pro-life" elsewhere.
I don't think this is true... is it? If so I guess it would explain things.On the other hand, they simply don't have time to confirm another candidate this late, before the elections, and maybe even before the new session begins in January. So they won't get another shot at this.
I imagine few of us here are qualified to make such a diagnosis, and to do so would be ethically questionable at best. That said, as someone who worked with individuals with dementia for nearly a decade, I'd put my money on yes.
Yeah this is what I really don't get.
There are other ultra-conservative judges he could place instead, without baggage or controversy, and he'd easily get the votes on it. Why cling so hard to Kavanaugh?
I questioned this in my other post too. Are we really sure about this? What's to stop Trump from nominating another one of his finalists and "pushing" the vote through super fast like they attempted with Kavanaugh?They really only get one shot at this before midterms. And that's with a really accelerated timeline for Kavanaugh to begin with. If they withdraw him now then it'll be at least another 3 months before they could even vote on someone else. That puts us basically into December in a lame duck session with Democrats possibly about to come in and take the Senate.

But "like what they attempted with Kavanaugh" is exactly what I'm saying. Kavanaugh got nominated July 10. He's only just now getting to a possible vote. That's three months. There's literally no way to get someone in before midterms. It's now or a vague chance of speeding things up and maybe getting someone in the lame duck session but the political calculus of what that would mean are a complete mystery as of now. Likely there's no way to get an ultra conservative at that time and definitely not after midterms unless something goes nuts.
On top of that getting him withdrawn is basically up to Kavanaugh and Trump. Trump's a stubborn shit that can't admit to wrongdoing and Kavanaugh is obviously a pampered frat boy that's never had to answer to anything he's done so of fucking course he isn't going to just run away.
I actually did not know con stood for confidence.
Joe Biden's comment during the Anita Hill vs Clearance Thomas hearing makes Biden not the right choice for 2020.
Today, Joe Biden's name comes up again and again because of his handling Anita Hill's hearing.
She's already sent a letter in confirming that Judge was ashamed about running a train on some drunk girl, but insists it was consensual...

Several of my coworkers believe that these accusations would happen for whoever trump nominates for supreme court because they think all of accusers are lying and just trying to delay the vote until midterms so that dems can block every nominee until 2020
No, it's someone else. Said Kavanaugh slammed her against a wall after leaving a bar in 1998.

Nope separate.. From 1998.. It was anonymous though. According to NBC it happened outside a bar where Kavanaugh was seen shit faced slamming a woman against a wall.
Its very thin atm, given that its anonymous.
It's almost as though even if you vehemently disagree with a nominee politically, so long as they kept their nose clean, the democrat minority in the senate can't even hold the line with their own party considering red state dems voted for Gorsuch too.That's why Neil Gorsuch went through an ugly confirmation process including multiple sexual assault accusations. Oh wait, he didn't, because he didn't rape anyone and he sailed through the confirmation process with ease.
Good, I don't want Biden in the mix anyway. Don't need another corporate dem setting back the party.Joe Biden's comment during the Anita Hill vs Clearance Thomas hearing makes Biden not the right choice for 2020.

Someone posted a chart of previous SCOTUS nomination to confirmations. They have put someone up in as quick as 2 weeks. If Kavenaugh falls through you can be damn sure they will fast track someone in to that seat. Kavanaugh is not do or die.McConnell didn't want Kavanaugh because of baggage to begin with, but Trump pushed him forward. Once that happened they pretty much had to cling with him because of the timetable. They really only get one shot at this before midterms. And that's with a really accelerated timeline for Kavanaugh to begin with. If they withdraw him now then it'll be at least another 3 months before they could even vote on someone else. That puts us basically into December in a lame duck session with Democrats possibly about to come in and take the Senate.
Well if it still was a Republican I would be wondering if they were a pedophile since that is the average general bar of the worst things we hear about women.
I see. I'm pessimistic as always, but that's decent news I suppose. Assuming Kavanaugh isn't confirmed. Which I'm also pessimistic about. Sigh.
Thanks for the explanation.
So how can we prevent Trump from picking the next nominee? Clearly Trump does not perform his due diligence in selecting nominees for the supreme court, this should be disqualifying for both Kavanaugh AND Trump.
