Kavanaugh Hearings

[Ben]

Booker certainly has hopes for a Presidential run just like Cuomo.  Hmmm ... NY and NJ, that's pretty representative of the country as a whole.   Don't underestimate Booker.  He's black; he's hard line Democrat and liberal; and he looks "pretty".  Sounds like Obama.....

I'm wondering if like Harris, the more he opens his mouth, the less desirable he may be for the non-far left dems. I guess it will depend on how far identity politics plays with mainstream D voters. I would think most of them would go with say, Biden over these two knuckleheads.

Booker and Harris are certainly turning this hearing into nothing more than a free campaign ad for themselves. They are absolutely not serious about any of the questions they are asking and really trying hard to outdo each other on the talking points popular with the far, far left.

Oh hell yeah she was. 

I had missed that.  Funny.

And what has the impotent Democratic rage machine spewed forth today?

[BobR]

Booker is just exhibiting his usual asshattery in "conversation" with the panel members today. Had one of the panel members state that Kavanaugh has been "auditioning" for the Supreme Court for years. The panel member already voiced her displeasure at his nomination so it wasn't a stretch.

Harris failed miserably with her attempt at a "Gotcha" with her question about Kavanaugh talking to Trump's law firm about the Mueller investigation.   What  an assclown she is.   All the leftists were hoping that she  had some smoking gun on him telling tales out of school, and.....she's got nothing.

Watch the video that The Free Beacon put together of Cory "Almost Spartacus" Booker.

[BobR]

Looks like the "Never Kavanaugh" team went deep and pulled John Dean, yes that John Dean onto a panel.

I believe Whitehouse is an idiot, he just said the sitting president is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation... did I miss something...when was Trump put under a criminal investigation?

eta: Senator Kennedy really does not like John Dean.

That was actually more dignified than the real thing.

Kavanaugh to kill and/or enslave half the US population:

https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2018/09/08/hoo-boy-jimmy-kimmel-writer-imagines-the-world-under-scotus-justice-kavanaugh-hint-its-bad/

I continue to be perplexed that the majority of democrats, who I think are rational people that I simply disagree with, do not tell people like this to STFU. I mean, it's great for "Trump 2020", but geez, as one of the commentors said, "This was written by an adult in the real world."

This is not someone who lives in her parents' basement - this is a producer of a show that a large population watches, and that influences the sheep.

Best comment: 

"Is he up for the Supreme Court or the Infinity Gauntlet?"

Aaand we have the explanation for the "white power OK!" sign:

The Washington Post reported, however, that Bash was actually texting a staffer requesting a glass of water for Kavanaugh, and when it arrived, she gave an OK sign as thanks.

Of course now the Washington post is probably on the antifa hit list.

[Kingcreek]

You know, Grassley could have been a rock star...
All he had to do was show up for day 2 in a vintage Ringling brothers ringmaster's costume.
If those tards want a circus, atleast act like you're in control. Instead he bumbled and mumbled through it as dry as an Iowa corn husk.
Color me disappointed.

Oh, so she showed an OK sign for a perfectly innocent reason. Unlike all those evil, dirty reasons people have when they do that.

SHE'S NOT INNOCENT SHE'S A NAZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hawkmoon]

FWIW, turncoat politico David Brock doesn't want to see Kavanaugh confirmed. That's perhaps the best reason I've yet seen to support his confirmation. If Brock doesn't want him, he's probably on the right side of most issues.

That reads like something from the 60s or 70s when the communists were infiltrating every layer of information & government. I'm gratified to know that pendulum have swung as early as the 1980's back toward conservative and that a long term plan was in place.

I had no idea Trump's collusion with Russia went so far back.

Democrats file 1,278 written questions for Kavanaugh to answer.  Which is more the ALL questions ever asked of ALL Nominees ever, combined. 

I hope he took the time to write "*expletive deleted*ck You, Sincerely Brett" on each one.  I would gladly pay his photocopying bill (roughly $90 at $.07 each)  if chose to write that out once and just staple that answer to every single one. 

[just Warren]

Nothing negative happens to him if he declines to answer. It's going to a floor vote and these idiots are not going to vote for him regardless.

The only thing to watch out for is weak-spined republicans who are afraid of the left.

[Fly320s]

Kavanaugh has made it this far, so I assume he will be confirmed.
