US Politics

Michael Wolf & Rene Balcer must be flicking through their back catalogue. I'm certain I've seen a recent re-run on 5USA of one of the Law&Order strands that was virtually the (alleged) Kavanaugh playbook, (but no Supreme Court nomination, obviously).

This is yesterday's news but still relevant:

Two more, anonymous, sexual assault accusations against Brett. For a total of five, now.

The allegation is now that the GOP are releasing these anon, flimsey, allegations to water down the first three!

Twitter saying that a lot of republicans are disgusted at the democrats treatment of Kavanaugh and now intending on supporting him. Which is interesting.

Unsurprising but interesting account of transition shitshow

if the time comes when a privileged white male can't sexually assault women without fear of repercussions, it's time to say, "NO MORE."

I'm surprised Chris Christie thought he was going to survive in any Trump administration job when he had put Jared Kushner's dad in jail.

More allegations of sexual assault being a workable gambit is so 'post-trump'!

Just got to this part (on phone calls with leaders after his surprise win):

Before any of the calls could be made, however, the president of Egypt
called in to the switchboard at Trump Tower and somehow got the
operator to put him straight through to Trump. “Trump was like ... I
love the Bangles! You know that song Walk Like an Egyptian?” recalled
one of his advisers on the scene.

Today's going be good.

to be fair, that is a great song.

Remember the Kavanaugh "doppelganger"? There's another two!

Great ending too:

Only on inauguration day did they flood into the building, but the people who showed up had no idea why they were there or what they were meant to do. Trump sent, among others, a long-haul truck driver, a telephone company clerk, a gas company meter reader, a country club cabana attendant, a Republican National Committee intern and the owner of a scented candle company.

One of the CVs listed the new appointee’s only skill as “a pleasant demeanor”.

A Genius Bar, yesterday

Not sure if Nancy Reagan or Judge Judy

'Yes, Mr. Mueller, Trump's Russian hackers have been trying to hack into your laptop'.

As the 2016 presidential election approached, Stier was about as
hopeful as he had ever been that the US government would be handed
from one leader to another with minimum stupidity.

...

Dr. Ford recounts that her work email was hacked and emails sent
"recanting" her allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, and that her
family had to flee from their own home and move from place to place
fearing for their safety.

“In some crowds I was a little outwardly shy of my experience, at the time I was inwardly proud of it.”

Kavanaugh, claiming to be a virgin for years after he left college. Cynical calling out to the base in excelsis.

Not buying a word of this bullshit. Ford's testimony was chilling.

a dry drunk.

Trump will double down and because he will deliver the verdicts they want on the big cases, the republicans will confirm the nomination.

#called it

Anger, privilege, lack of empathy. How was Kavanaugh ever thought suitable for office. The guy is a cunt.
