Translation:  The FBI report found that Kavanaugh is not only a rapist, but he's a serial killer as well.

John Roberts must be so happy.

 

As Chief Justice he supposedly values the legitimacy of the court very highly.

 

He's soon to have two sex offenders and a stolen seat judge making up the bulk of his 5-4 conservative opinions, making rulings that generally about 60-70% of the country disagrees with. Oh, and these judges were appointed mostly by presidents who lost the popular vote, and confirmed by a Senate where people representing a minority of the population have a majority of the votes.

 

 

[Chairslinger]

Seems like confirming Kavanaugh now might be the worst of both worlds for the GOP electorally.

 

They take the base's feet off the fire as far as motivation goes, and they face a full month where additional damaging evidence might come out about the guy they already confirmed.

 

And when they start blaming the FBI for not turning up the evidence we start getting unnamed sources inside the FBI detailing every little trick the White House played to kneecap the supplemental investigation.

Two sex offenders?  Are you referring to Thomas?  AFAIK, he never assaulted Hill, he was just a dirty bird.  I'm not excusing Thomas here, but there is a difference between sexual harassment and sexual assault.

I'm not entirely sure that's a distinction worth making when we're talking about a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.

Fair enough.  I just don't think it's fair to call Thomas a sex offender.

This scene was bad at the time and has aged reaaaaaaaaaaally poorly.

I remember next to nothing about those movies. Some character was actually a guy posing as a woman, right?

White House Finds No Corroboration of Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Kavanaugh in FBI Report

 It is unclear whether White House had finalized its review of FBI interview reports

 

 

[mrbiggsly]

The sham investigation of the sham president’s sham nominee came to a sham conclusion?

 

Love that political cover

[Mr.Vic20]

And now, on to pushing Kal through as was always going to happen.

I think he's already quite worried about it's legitimacy, and has nothing to do with kav/Thomas. Just look at the ACA ruling. It appears he was ready to strike it down, but changed last minute to keep it using different logic

I see my error, and I want to change it, but I feel like Kal would prefer it this way!

I'm starting to get the impression they're not looking for an honest understanding of the facts surrounding these allegations ...

seriously, can't they just get all the senators in a room and have someone read the report out loud if they are so insistent on there being only one copy

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

The mental image I have of dozens of Senators elbowing each other, craning their necks, and other physical contortions to read the report is priceless!

 

"I wasn't done reading that page, Dianne."

"Oh for Christ's sake, Chuck, read faster."

"The type is too small for me to read, can someone read it out loud for me?"

"Maybe it's time for a new prescription, Bernard."

"Screw you, Cory, you pharma boy."

White House Finds No Support in FBI Report for Claims Against Kavanaugh

 

Quote

WASHINGTON—The White House has found no corroboration of the allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after examining interview reports from the FBI’s latest probe into the judge’s background, according to people familiar with the matter.

 

This is my shocked face.

Do you know how much toner costs?  These are the cost saving initiatives that will save this country from its debt.

[Scott]

Would they likely have done it this way regardless of the findings, or can we make some shitty, too-early assumptions about the findings based on how secretive they're being?

Yes, absolutely they would have.

i wonder if trump has asked daddy vladdy to try and poison RBG so he can steal another one

[Spork3245]

Gee, it’s almost like the sham investigation was just a bs way to drag this out another week and give time to change and secure potential “no” votes into “yes” votes.

[Firewithin]

lets get this party started
