“It wasn’t me!”
It doesn’t matter if it’s the Kavanaugh hearing or the leaker in the Trump Admin, the refrain is the same. Or to ask it a different way, “What are they trying to hide?”
In the case of Kavanaugh for some reason they are trying to hide the fact that he was put on a list after the president said he was picking only from that list and he was put on because he has been on record saying that he doesn’t think a sitting president should have to face any kind of legal consequences while in office. Additionally, he is on record – repeatedly – as saying Roe v Wade is not settled law and even if it was the Supreme Court could overturn that. Additionally, he has shown – just this year – that he will go to great lengths to force a woman who has a legal right to an abortion to make it such that she can not get one.
Some people like to call people opposed to abortion and therefore opposed to women having a right to decide what they can do with their own bodies – pro-life, but I prefer the more accurate term of “Women Killers” because that’s what they really are. Besides, it has a more sanitized ring to it, don’t you think? Women Killers. Maybe, Pro-Death? Yeah, Pro-Death.
Why won’t Kavanaugh stand up and at least say he’s pro-life – a woman killer – a man who believes he should tell a woman what she should do with her body? Why not be proud of it? Why hide?
Why is Steve Bannon’s lawyer getting to see all the information and paperwork on Kavanaugh while he was in W’s White House and the Senators who represent us are not? Why can’t we the public see it?
Yesterday, the Republicans on the committee having the hearing on Kavanaugh tried to tell a Democratic Senator that he risked being ejected from the Senate if he released emails that Kavanaugh had been on the email chain. Corey Booker had had enough and he said to the supposed charges, “Bring it.” Then what did the Republicans do? They then said, “Oh well, it wasn’t really ‘committee confidential’ they were all ready free to be shown to the public, and Fox News said Booker was grand standing and making a fool of himself.” Fool on!
Then there’s the question Kamal Harris asked him. Had he been in meetings with people from a law firm that represented Trump about the Mueller probe and Russia? It took him a day to finally answer. Who was Harris specifically asking about? (I mean how could he know who worked at the firm and who didn’t? What? You don’t know that a close friend of yours from your days in W’s White House doesn’t work there? Then I’d say you’re too stupid to be on the Supreme court.)
Meanwhile the hunt for the op-ed author continues. Trump is furious. It’s been suggested that senior admin officials take lie detector tests. Why stop there? Why not enhanced interrogation? It’s not torture. Remember. If it was good enough for some poor schmuck Islamist it’s good enough for a White House aide don’t you think?
Some have been outraged that a person would take something off the President’s desk. Really? Reince Priebus said he did it all the time. If the president said he wanted something utterly stupid done Priebus would say he’d do it next week. the president would forget, end of crisis. I’d wager that ever admin has had people take things off the president’s desk and has at time not done what the president said.
But, as with so many things with this president, this is different. Why? Because this guy is to quote John Kelly – an idiot.
Hey did anything else go on?
Was there an earth quake in Japan. Too bad, so sad. wish we had time to help.
Jim Mattis went to Afghanistan after multiple attacks – really? Hum.
Miss Virginia gave a great answer to NFL players kneeling. Wow. What? Oh, it’s not about kneeling it’s about police brutality. How does a 22 year old beauty queen get that yet a 72 year old president of our country does not?
Snoopes is investigating whether someone burned their feet in protest over the Nike ad. I love it. Who cares whether its true or not? This should usher in a new category of “Feet on Fire.” Where is the shoe bomber? Maybe, he could give some tips.
Serena advances.
The woman who discovered radio pulsars and didn’t win the Nobel Prize got rewarded with the $3M Breakthrough Prize 30 years later. Her boss at the time got the Nobel. Isn’t that fair? A man gets rewarded for the work a woman did?
Susan Collins met with Brett Kavanaugh and she says she’s satisfied that Kavanaugh will adjudicate Roe v Wade questions fairly. I mean yeah, he’s only written papers and given speeches saying the exact opposite. He’s been caught lying to the Senate Committee the last time he was before them. You go Susan. You gotta believe. Susan Collins gets my vote as the dumbest woman Senator. The men? I’m sure there are some much dumber.
Saw my first attack ad against the Democrat running in our district. God. It’s a fill in the blank ad with scary music, a threatening voice, and black and white photos a la Willie Horton type ads, and it ends with “What is … hiding?” What is she hiding? What are you hiding MFer? Oh, did you know that Dave Brat lived in the same state as a terrorist? Did you know that where he lives drug addicts live? Did you know that he has gotten into limousines yet accuses others of being limousine politicians?
These ads remind me of MAD Magazine’s take off on The Daily News, which they called The Daily Dirt. In it there was a picture of a leggy starlet lifting her skirt to show her thigh. According to the article the starlet had received the bruise while the apartment building was being robbed, which was true. She fell in the shower while several floors away an apartment was being robbed.
Spanburger taught in a school on a temporary assignment while waiting for her clearance. That school had two students who later were identified as terrorists. It’s not clear if they were even there at the time she taught for two weeks, yet this is what this ad is about.
God, Dave Brat flew on the same airline that terrorists flew on. Can we trust Dave Brat?

PS Pretty in Pink (or is that lavender?)

I imagine the dark ads will be nastier than ever. We had Dino Rossi out here who has run so many times you’d think he’d be tired of it! So the Dems ad was pretty nasty. Right now they are running a ugly ad on his opponent Kim Schier. Omg she didn’t want Medicare Patients! Yet Dino .rossi doesn’t want Medicare at all!
Geez!
