   1. True.  However, our resident moron can't seem to bring himself to display the same level of enthusiasm for Stapler as he did for Taller Coffman.  Almost like even he knows Stumbleton just ain't got it.

2. Sounds like Judiciary Committee Democrats decided that confirmation pugilism is a team sport. As a group standing up and releasing documents held as committee confidential in the Kavanaugh hearing. Co-ordinted with unknown source dropping more such on the NY Times. Evidence that Kavanaugh wrote that Roe precedent could be overturned, racist opinions, and other details. Leahy yesterday suggested those docs held evidence of perjury, while Kamala Harris has hinted of evidence Kavanaugh discussed Mueller with Trump's defense team.

3. Judge Kavanaugh was considering a draft opinion piece that supporters of one of Mr. Bush’s conservative appeals court nominees hoped they could persuade anti-abortion women to submit under their names. It stated that “it is widely accepted by legal scholars across the board that Roe v. Wade and its progeny are the settled law of the land.”

   Judge Kavanaugh proposed deleting that line, writing: “I am not sure that all legal scholars refer to Roe as the settled law of the land at the Supreme Court level since Court can always overrule its precedent, and three current Justices on the Court would do so.”

   2. Lindsay Graham looked like he was auditioning for AG with his 20 minute time-slot this morning.  

      Has anyone else noticed how portly POTUS has become, painfully evident when the camera is from the side like it was when he was blathering about the failing New York Times before the Sheriff's group yesterday?

      1. Yes.

         I think reporters should start asking him how much he weighs.

         We "know" that Tippler Jackson lied about the Dumpster®'s weight.

         1. He'd probably answer in kilograms and lecture the press on how the lower number means he's losing weight.

   Planning a Graceful Exit for Coal: RMI Launches First Global Playbook To Minimize Stranded Assets

   The Coal Capital Transition Initiative at Rocky Mountain Institute is charting a new approach based on the premise that while faster retirement of coal is both desirable and to some extent inevitable, the loss of financial value associated with stranded assets should be mitigated to ensure that all stakeholders are on board with the direction of the energy transition.
