DELAY

DELAY

The insane is becoming the new normal. The justification for a new FBI probe is just extortion by Republican #nevertrumper Senator Jeff Flake giving cover for Murkowski and Collins to follow suit with the demand of an FBI investigation or they will all vote NO on Kavanaugh. Obviously this is a democrat tactic that Flake has either fallen for or has been complicit in the delay tactic. Flake knows the FBI does not draw conclusions as to guilt and the Senates judicial committee hearings should have been enough for a vote to be called, but Flake persisted…..and here we are.

In conducting a background check, the FBI does not draw a conclusion about a nominee’s suitability. If alleged misconduct is not the subject of a conviction or acquittal, the FBI does not make an assessment of guilt or innocence. To do these things would be to usurp the constitutional role of the Senate — it is the Senate, not the FBI, that decides whether a nominee is fit for the responsibilities of the office to which he is nominated.

Moreover, the FBI did not exist until it was created by statute at the start of the 20th century, meaning the Senate was quite capably vetting judicial nominations for over a century before there was an FBI.   here…..

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t pretend to be one on TV but if I was Kavanaugh I would file libel suits RIGHT NOW against Ramirez and Avenatti. If Christine “Ballsy” Ford actually shows up tomorrow I would wait to hear her story, if she doesn’t show up or her story is shown to be a lie, file a suit against her, Dianne Feinstein, and every single person who slandered him including senators and the media.

That would stop this bullshit.

Michael Avenatti revealed Brett Kavanaugh’s 3rd accuser Wednesday morning–A woman named Julie Swetnick who has brought forth allegations of gang rape.

Yep, I’m going there.

I hope these two “survivors” of a traumatic sexual encounter 35 years ago were better looking back in the ’80’s.

 

Probably need to be over 50 to get this one.

Give us the House, the Senate, and the White House, they said, and we’ll repeal Obamacare. Give us power across the major elected branches, and we’ll secure the border, they promised. With a Republican president in the White House and a Republican majority in the Senate, we’ll confirm the most conservative Supreme Court nominees you can imagine, they claimed.

Yet here we are. Obamacare is still on the books, and a wall is still not on the border. The only compelling reason left for Republicans to continue voting for Republicans is the confirmation of conservative jurists to fill the federal judiciary. The confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch was nice, but it changed nothing, as he replaced the staunchly conservative Antonin Scalia. Gorsuch’s appointment merely maintained the status quo.   Keep reading….

Republican voters know exactly what’s happening right now, and they’re out for blood. The only question left is who they’re going to punish. If Senate Republican leaders don’t immediately end this entire charade and schedule a floor vote for Kavanaugh, their heads will be on the chopping block.

“Now, after the election in 2016, I faced a choice,” said Cruz. “Donald Trump had been elected president and we had an opportunity to do something extraordinary. I made a conscious choice to do the job I’d been elected to do, which is to represent 28 million Texans. I’ve got a responsibility which is to fight for every person here and every person in this state.”

Working “hand in hand with the president,” Cruz described “remarkable victories” on tax cuts, jobs created, deregulation, and unemployment.

“Texans’ lives are better, so yes I could have chosen to make it about myself to be selfish and say, ‘You know what, my feelings are hurt. So I’m going to take my marbles and go home,’” said Cruz. “But I think that would have been not doing the job I was elected to, and every single day in the Senate it has been my job to fight for jobs, jobs, jobs, and to fight for 28 million Texans.” _ Ted Cruz response to debate moderator’s question about him “losing his dignity” working with President Trump

And surprise, surprise, surprise! Allison Hrabar, the Squeaky-Fromme-mousy-looking-pint-sized-unibrow-thugette who harassed Kirstjen Nielsen has been caught talking about how she uses the resources of the department, on department time, to find out the addresses of Trump supporters and administration members for the purpose of sending goon squads over to protest/harass them and their families.

Supposedly the DoJ is now looking into the revelations of this video but I don’t know what if anything they’ll do. I know what should be done. They should at minimum be fired and their pensions forfeited, union rules be damned. If it’s a war they want, then a war is what they should have. Con gusto. And Hrabar et al are just the little foot soldiers in what amounts to insurrection. Hell, they call themselves “the resistance” so why not treat them as such? When Palsi Pelosi and Cuck Schemer, let alone Brennan are calling for those still in the DoJ, FBI and intel agencies to refuse to declassify documents that the President lawfully orders them to, then you have what we call in the trade as “a situation.”

Again, if this is a war – and it most certainly is, especially after all we have seen and heard since November of 2016 – then it should be treated as such.   Keep reading…..

So what happened in 2012? Coincidentally (or not), 2012 was another election year.

In 2012, Romney ran against Obama. Up until his 47% gaffe, Romney was doing well. He actually had a shot of winning.

For the Democrats, as has been the case since Bork, having a Republican in the White House, especially with the ever-aging but never retiring Ruth Bader Ginsburg a perpetual risk, raised the specter of a conservative judge getting appointed to the Supreme Court. With that in mind, one Twitter user, who must have an amazing memory, remembered something interesting he’d read back in 2012:

I’ll save you a click to The New Yorker website. The article, which The New Yorker published in 2012, is a Jeffrey Toobin analysis about Bret Kavanaugh and the threat he would pose should he get on the Supreme Court. According to Toobin, Kavanaugh was a scary conservative who, if he got on the Court, might overturn Obamacare:   Keep Reading….
