  1. It appears there are three particular inconsistencies between Kavanaugh's and Ford's accounts that the FBI can focus their investigation.  And another person of interest that could provide some corroboration.

    And the calendar entry for July 1st appears to be the most likely time the party took place with all the witnesses.

    Kavanaugh's little lies just might add up.

     

    1. little?

       

      https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/09/judge-brett-kavanaugh-should-be-impeached-for-lying-during-his-confirmation-hearings.html

       

       

       

      in one of those weird go around/comes around moments, the defining memo comes from the Starr office, written by a young lawyer, now federal judge, who argued that perjury rises to an impeachable offense.

       

      and the complaint has since been filed in the court of jurisdiction with the chief justice of that federal court.

       

       

      Kavanaugh wrote the brief. Garland is the Chief Justice of the DC Circuit

    1. Ah, yes.  Those three epitomes of fiscal responsibility resorting to attempted bribery.  I'm only surprised they didn't toss in another meaningless vote to overturn the ACA as well.  They well know this isn't going to get past the Senate since it still needs 60 votes in that chamber.

      GOP hypocrisy lives!

    2. Tipton is in standard talking points mode. His 3rd CD Republicans nod sagely since they've heard it on the almighty Hannity.

      Gawd I hope there is sanity in Pueblo!

        1. That's why I love those guys. They give me just one more reason to live. Kavanaugh is not going to be seated. He can't hide his past now.

          It may be that T***p will want to scuttle it himself. I am sure he fears the mid-terms much more than not having his hot-headed partisan warrior on the bench. He ( the Yam) won't abide by any court decision, anyway.

          This is the presidents chance to try to save his ass. He can afford to nominate an even worse asshole if and after the Trumplicans© keep control of Congress. If he believes it will help him control things, he will betray anyone.

        2. Modern Republicans in search of their party's values:

          Family Values All morality rules suspended if you are a Republican.

          Small Government except for corporate welfare, big-farm payouts

          Fiscal Responsibility Record deficits and federal spending

          Fear the dwindling of the white majority ! (Fear the outsider. Fear the gays. Fear the Muslims. Fear the immigrants. Lock them all up! )

          Control the means of reproduction. Women have babies according to the needs of the state, and are relegated to second class citizenship.

          Corporate Citizenship. End all regulation. Use up all the resources, pollute everything, let the next generation suck it up.

          Military Industrial Complex. Endless wars outsourced to private contractors.

          Emulate Despots, Dictators, and Autocrats. End of the first amendment. (then the 2nd, and so on….)

          Resist!

  2. Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball is apparently tired of their coverage of 2018 …. they have an article about the Senate in 2020. And Colorado leads their list.  We're #2 … after the Alabama race with Doug Jones.

    The other most vulnerable senator on the ballot in 2020 is Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), who won an impressive but close victory over then-Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) in 2014. Colorado remains a competitive state, but its purple has acquired a slightly bluish tint in recent years: Democratic presidential candidates ran a little bit better in Colorado than they did nationally in each of the last three elections; prior to that, Republicans usually did better in Colorado than they did nationally. Looking ahead to 2020, one would probably expect the Democratic presidential nominee to have at least slightly better odds of carrying Colorado, at least at the start of the campaign. So Gardner might need some split tickets to win; he is capable of that, but his race would start as a Toss-up as Democrats figure out who might challenge him.
