Susan Collins and Leland Keyser...two women who did not bow to the militant feminist pressure. That takes courage. I applaud them both.

To me it's more manipulative and evil than sad.

Murkowski says she opposes Kavanaugh's nomination, but will vote 'present'

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said Friday evening that she opposed Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, becoming the only Republican senator to come out against President Trump's nominee.

"I will be a no tomorrow," Murkowski said in a speech on the Senate floor after describing how she had come to lean against voting to confirm Trump's second nominee to the high court in a final vote on Saturday.

But Murkowski said that in the final tally she would ask that her vote be recorded as "present," saying she was doing it as a courtesy to Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), who is slated to attend his daughter's wedding back home on Saturday.

"I do this because a friend, a colleague of ours is in Montana this evening and ... he's going to be walking his daughter down the aisle and he won't be present to vote," Murkowski said. "I have extended this as a courtesy to my friend. It will not change the outcome of the vote."

Don’t trust her!

Daines needs to keep that plane ready to roll!

Kagan is a liberal piece of **** who crafted Obama Care and then did not recuse herself when Obamacare came before the SC, but she is not a leftist libtard according to the left, she is a fair unbioased juror just like the ugly hag Ginsburg and Sotameyer.

Once more, a lot of Judges shift their leanings when named to the court... and often they morph over time one direction or another. Kagan had a more moderate record before she was named... she has votedvery liberal, but its totally plausible that had a lot to do with the 5/4 split... if the court gets to 6/3 and its less likely one vote swings it, you may see less party line voting, where judges occasionally break from party lines, like it used to be...

Gonna buy some extra popcorn for tomorrow....

It's a delicious night....naturally I had to spend some time on my most liberal, hard core leftists boards, where I am, yes, a troll under deep cover...only posting little bits to make them cry if I can lol

This loss is bringing back another round of pain like Nov 2016 - no ****! they're reliving it all, again!

Enjoy



I feel about as down as the night Trump won, had a really bad year after Trump. Drinking a bottle of wine and crying every night for months. My husband and I would just sob, This is worse, this feels like a punch to the gut.

Devastated, very tired and sad. I'm in near-despair. I won't lie. I cried. It's the fruition of our worst fears: that he would be able to ram through not one, but two, hard-right SCOTUS appointments, with absolutely nothing to stop him.

I am defeated and I give up. HE’S GOING TO BE AROUND FOR DAMN NEAR FOREVER!!!!!!!! I hate all of those ******* and I give the **** up

I am beyond bitter anger and hopelessness. Why did no one fight like this for Obama’s pick? I’m so very depressed. I’m just so very tired!

What depresses me so much now is not just seeing a man lacking integrity placed on the SC, but also the fact that Trump has won again.!!!!

Two things... the Lone Republican no vote is expected to be an abstaining “present “ vote so the senator won’t have to leave his daughters wedding

Secondly Sean Spicer is absolutely brutal: https://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2018/...s-kavanaugh-takes/?utm_campaign=twitchywidget

A must read...

Who would have thunk it ..one of the best pieces condemning the behavior of these democRATS ever written...by a dyed in the wool liberal Trump hating NY Times columnist by the name of Brett Stevens.



For the first time since Donald Trump entered the political fray, I find myself grateful that he’s in it. I’m reluctant to admit it and astonished to say it, especially since the president mocked Christine Blasey Ford in his ugly and gratuitous way at a rally on Tuesday. Perhaps it’s worth unpacking this admission for those who might be equally astonished to read it.

I’m grateful because Trump has not backed down in the face of the slipperiness, hypocrisy and dangerous standard-setting deployed by opponents of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. I’m grateful because ferocious and even crass obstinacy has its uses in life, and never more so than in the face of sly moral bullying. I’m grateful because he’s a big fat hammer fending off a razor-sharp dagger.

A few moments have crystallized my view over the past few days.

The first moment was a remark by a friend. “I’d rather be accused of murder,” he said, “than of sexual assault.” I feel the same way. One can think of excuses for killing a man; none for assaulting a woman. But if that’s true, so is this: Falsely accusing a person of sexual assault is nearly as despicable as sexual assault itself. It inflicts psychic, familial, reputational and professional harms that can last a lifetime. This is nothing to sneer at.

The second moment, connected to the first: “Boo hoo hoo. Brett Kavanaugh is not a victim.” That’s the title of a column in the Los Angeles Times, which suggests that the possibility of Kavanaugh’s innocence is “infinitesimal.” Yet false allegations of rape, while relatively rare, are at least five times as common as false accusations of other types of crime, according to academic literature.

Since when did the possibility of innocence become, for today’s liberals, something to wave off with an archly unfeeling “boo hoo”?

A third moment, connected to the second: Listening to Cory Booker explain on Tuesday that “ultimately” it doesn’t matter if Kavanaugh is “guilty or innocent,” because “enough questions” had been raised that it was time to “move on to another candidate.”

This is a rhetorical sleight of hand in three acts: Elide the one question that really matters; raise a secondary set of “questions” that are wholly the result of the question you’ve decided to ignore; call for “another candidate” because it will push confirmation hearings past the midterms, which was the Democratic objective long before most anyone had ever heard of Blasey’s allegation.

Fourth moment: Watching Julie Swetnick, the woman who accused Kavanaugh of attending parties decades earlier where women were gang raped, change key details of her story in an interview with NBC News.

Swetnick’s claims border on the preposterous. They are wholly uncorroborated. But that didn’t keep Kavanaugh’s opponents, in politics and the press, from seizing them as evidence of corroboration with Blasey’s allegation, which is not preposterous but is also largely uncorroborated, and with the allegation of Kavanaugh’s Yale classmate Deborah Ramirez — uncorroborated again.


Uncoborated plus uncorroborated plus largely uncorroborated is not the accumulation of questions, much less of evidence. It is the duplication of hearsay.

Fifth moment: Reading about a 1985 bar fight at Yale — a story that involved Kavanaugh throwing ice, resulted in no charges against him, and should never have been reported. Or reading a 1983 handwritten letter by Kavanaugh, in which he says of his gang of friends that “we’re loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us” — adolescent boasting now being treated as if it is a crucial piece of incriminating evidence. Or hearing from Yale classmates who claim to have seen Kavanaugh drunk, which somehow is supposed to show that he’s a demonstrable perjurer and possible sex offender.

Will a full-bore investigation of adolescent behavior now become a standard part of the “job interview” for all senior office holders? I’m for it — provided we can start with your adolescent behavior, as it relates to your next job.

Sixth moment: Listening to Richard Blumenthal lecture Kavanaugh on the legal concept of falsus in omnibus — false in one thing, false in everything — when the senator from Connecticut lied shamelessly for years about his military service. And then feeling grateful to Trump for having the simple nerve to point out the naked hypocrisy.

Seventh moment: Listening to Dianne Feinstein denounce Kavanaugh for failing to reflect an “impartial temperament or the fairness and even-handedness one would see in a judge.” This lecture would have gone down more easily if Feinstein hadn’t gamed the process for her own partisan purposes, and at huge personal cost to Kavanaugh and Blasey alike.

Eighth moment: Being quizzed in recent days about my teenage years at a New England boarding school — the subtext being that I must know something about elite prep schools and the mentality of the boys who attend them.

I do. It was at boarding school where I first formed lasting friendships with kids of different races and economic backgrounds, and where liberal-leaning teachers showed us how to think critically, keep an open mind, and value tolerance and respect. I have no idea if Georgetown Prep was anything like that, but the facile stereotype of “white privilege” that keeps cropping up in discussions of Kavanaugh’s background is yet another ugly tactic in the battle to defeat him.

We will learn soon enough what, if anything, the F.B.I. has gleaned from its investigation of Kavanaugh. If the Bureau finds persuasive evidence of Blasey’s charge, the judge will have to step down and answer for it. Until then, I’ll admit to feeling grateful that, in Trump, at least one big bully was willing to stand up to others.

This is the greatest summary of events that have happened over the last 2 weeks that I have read. Come on Tibs.... come back and dispute this! This is my argument (hell, 8 arguments) all wrapped up in a concise format anyone with half a brain can understand. Please, please, please, someone, ANYONE, argue these points with me. Please. I'm begging you.

 

[Supersteeler]

I almost feel bad for giggling and reveling in these pathetic *****' pain and suffering....but I can't quite get there. Maybe if they weren't such spoiled, vile, deceitful, America hating, crybabies I would feel worse about it.

I am regretting for slapping him so hard he left. I would so, so so, very love to have him around today and tomorrow. As he was wrong in November 2016, he's been wrong on this issue as well.

It would be sweet to revel with him over this historic win.

I find it funny when libs whine about democracy being dead when this is all an example of it working perfectly.

Trump won the election so he nominates who he pleases. The republicans won more senate elections so they have the votes to confirm. That’s exactly how democracy (or democratic republic) works.

The problem is libs define democracy as them getting their way because they always make the wrong assumption that everybody agrres with them and they are in the majority. The reality is they are not.

They only listen to each other in the echo chamber. Hollywood just reinforces that misconception that liberalism is the mainstream. It’s not and most of these liberal message movies and tv shows tank.

Good lord. Whoever this is needs to check out of following politics completely and live their life.

What on ******* earth do they have to be so miserable about? The low unemployment? The tax cuts?

I guess they're sad that gay people can't buy a cake from a religious guy? Or that some people aren't forced to buy health insurance anymore?

I mean what is the big huge ******* problem? Why not just accept that not everyone thinks exactly like you and not everything is going to be exactly the way you wish it would be and go ahead and live your life?

When Obama was elected I wasn't happy, but I didn't curl up into a ball and cry. Life went on. I paid for my ******* Obamacare every month and it sucked but I followed the law because, well, they won and we lost and that's what democracy is all about. Yeah I bitched and moaned about it but I didn't let it ruin my life.

Sorry, I have had a few beers.

Thats the beautiful thing about states... smaller areas can have more tailored laws and programs to the people in that area...

Fed laws force things across the board and on people who have no desire or need for them... those should be few and far between

They cant admit anything but their own superiority over everyone that doesnt think like they do, and yes, they hate all white men especially, for ruining their dream of a Hillary run liberal utopia and will NEVER get over it!

 

[Steelin]

They want to be the loudest, most disruptive force while trying to impose their failed theories on the whole populace. Likening it to a huge dissassociative temper trantrum is right on the mark imo. I'm so glad i saw the light in 2004. It really hasn't been that long since i "walked away".

I walked away in smaller steps. I went independent first untill I realized that I was only helping put the evil ones in power.
