Its not that she's too moderate. It's that she's too much of a career political shitlord. She's long time dirty as fuck establishment, just like much of anyone who's been in Washington for longer than 2 terms.
 

So, just what do the idiot democrats want to be investigated? All the witnesses refute her story! All she has is character references and a few people who can say, she mentioned it, a few years ago, never using Kavanaugh name.    Based on that, and not knowing a date, time or location, they literally have nothing to investigate. 
 
It's also clear, that cunt Di Fi, hid Ford's letter from the committee so she had something to spring on them at the last minute and fuck Ford wanting to be anonymous. Diane Feinstein is an embarrassment to the human race, who is so old and senile, she probably forgot she leaked it. She just straight up lied right to the American people. 
 
I listened to almost the whole thing, and at first the Reps seemed weak, but the prosecutor did chip away enough at Fords credibility, to make it seem like her calling out she can 100% identify Kavanaugh, but basically nothing else of substance. What she said about memory doesn't fit with the current science. Basically, she came off as a confused, weird woman, who probably had his name planted in her memory at best and does not actually remember as well as she claims, or a political hack/operative at worst. But this all leave the Dems with no sound bites of big-name reps attacking a "victim".   Kavanaugh came out of the corner strong, handled the questions well, and the Dems almost universally came off as assholes. 
 
I think this is a win. 
 
The one fact that came out of this that no one can dispute, is that Diane Feinstein played games with the committee and fucked both Ford and Kavanaugh, so she could delay the whole process. Normally this would have all been handled in secret, as Ford had requested. 

Oh yea, that was absolutely clear from finding out that Ford grew up in the DC suburbs and went to one of the all girl prep schools there. I can imagine that part of the credibility was that Kavenaugh grew up in the same area. All I can hope for is that he's competent and principled. So far, that's what I'm seeing. Especially in the face of this hysterical smear campaign.
 
It's weird actually liking him. 
 
 

I thought it was product placement since Coke doesn't use gofundme.

Lindsey Graham's balls sure have dropped since McCain died holy fuck.

From a disconnected view of this situation, it's hilarious. They strategy goes from "delay for procedural reasons" to "he might have groped a drunk chick 36 years ago" to "he was the Mastermind behind a serial rape gang that terrorized DC in the 80s".

 Paso Lawmaker Can't Join Hispanic Caucus; Some Seek Rule Change
  Despite representing a district whose constituents are overwhelmingly Hispanic, U.S. Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, D-El Paso, is ineligible for membership in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Some say that should change.

Turns out that Texas District 19 with the upset R win is a hispanic majority.

Having multiple printings is just as likely a sign of a publisher playing it safe than it is of a book being very popular without any numbers given.

Credibility with who?
 
Credibility with people in a profession who stand in a mud puddle while on camera, making believe they're fighting off hurricane force winds?
 
The profession that breathlessly reports on Nikki Haley's curtains and then has to grovel and issue a retraction because the narrative didn't match the carpet?
 
He has credibility in an institution that relies solely on "unnamed sources" for even the most routine of stories and which can't even get the "Who" right when reporting on "Who, What, Where, When, Why"
 
He has credibility in a profession whose trustworthiness with the American public consistently ranks below that of used car salesmen?
 
He has credibility in the DC media/cable news/Sunday talk show crowd which has shown itself to be completely incapable of writing anything factual about the President whether its misreporting on when the Trump campaign having access to Wikileaks emails, or Trump removing the bust of mlk from the White House or even how he feeds a bunch of god damn sacred carp in Japan.

"three unidentified US officials and two other people briefed on the investigation told NBC"
 

If your preferred energy source isn't nuclear just get the fuck out.
 
 

Oh, what you'd rather we have prosecuted it like Vietnam, I suppose?
 
BTW, that article was written by noted right-wing shill... Christopher Hitchens?

Mein sides.
 
The damage the media is doing to the mental health of people in this country would be funny if I didn't have to live with these people.

LULZ.
 

Please, just because the Clinton foundation / Clinton global initiative received (hundreds of?) Millions of dollars from various Saudis interests during her tenure as secretary of state is irrelevant. Also, nice Soviet propaganda whataboutism there. You must be a Russian agent as well for using KGB tactics to try and steer the conversation off topic. The only topic that we are allowed to talk about is what punishment Donald Trump should receive for colluding with the Russians, because that's a major crime!

There is more direct evidence linking McCain to Russian meddling than Trump.
 
There is more direct evidence linking the Clintons to Russian meddling than the President.
 
But Trump hosted the Miss Universe pageant one year in Moscow and made a funny one-liner about the Russkies finding Hillary’s e-mails so clearly he is a Putin stooge.

I fear that this is another "no justice no peace", where justice equates Trump being found guilty no matter what the truth is.

And the birth certificate thing could have been put to rest in 24 hours, or 3 business days tops.
 
But Obama WANTED the Republicans to chase that red herring for six years.

The biggest thing I'm surprised about all of this anti-president stuff?
 
It didn't happen with Obama. Not nearly to the extent. The whole birth certificate business now seems so incredibly quaint.

It’s been painfully obvious that the President’s enemies have been aiming for a 25th Amendment solution ever since he took the Oath of Office. It’s another lame attempt to close their eyes and wish Trump away. And it just shows how divorced from reality the Left and the #NeverTrump RINOs are.
 
It also causes me to question whether they have actually ever even bothered to read the Constitution and its Amendments. Or if they have, they don’t actually care about its meaning and want to simply use it as cover for whatever they want it to mean at the moment.
 
Here’s the text.
 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
 
The key point is Section 4 of the Amendment where the Vice President AND the majority of the President’s principal Cabinet (or a group appointed by Congress) have to declare that the President can’t discharge his duties. Whereupon the Vice President becomes ACTING President.
 
But wait!
 
If such an event did occur, the President can then write to Congress attesting he was now fit again to hold office.
 
At that point, the Vice President, the Cabinet, and Congress have to go through the process one more time to remove the President from office.
 
...
 
And all of that is a pipe dream since the point of the 25th Amendment is about a President being incapacitated like when Reagan was shot or to prevent a scenario like when Woodrow Wilson had a stroke.
 
The 25th Amendment was not meant to cover some disagreement over Trump’s position on NAFTA or that some mid-level staffer got triggered over a Tweet.
 
 

I just noticed something, Trump’s presidency is similar to Grant’s presidency: 
 
 
Both are republican. 
 
Both had very little political experience before running for office. 
 
Both had very narrow wins during their first terms. 
 
Both were embroiled in scandals that were mostly hot air. 
 
Both were elected after a previously ineffective president (unfortunately, Obama served 2 terms). 
 
Both believe in nepotism  
 
 
and I predict (using pure Columbian cocaine, and Grant as a guide): 
 
Trump will have exceptional foreign policy successes later in this term. 
 
Trump will be re-elected by a very large margin (bonus points if his rival dies within months of Trump being re-elected, x10 if it’s Hillary). 
 
Trump will push for more peace (rather than the typical warmongering) all over the world. 
 
Corruption and abuse will plague Trump’s cabinet, but Trump will be innocent on all accounts. 
 
Trump will get his face on a dollar bill (maybe the 100, cause it’s yuuuge)
