I have never felt this way before.

This scares the crap out of me.

major suckage

vote against Benczkowski.

Well put.

seeing as how I just became a new resident of Arizona (as of about 5 minutes ago).

; )

What good it will do, I don't know.

--however, Rachel made the point that head of the Criminal Division is a stepping stone. Conceivably, he could be named to replace Sessions and take over the investigation.

It goes through Eastern District of Va. (the post Dana Boente held before being forced out) and other jurisdictions.

of Benczkowski and that was SENATOR JOE MANCHIN, D, West Virginia! He is a dem in name only and I hope he loses his next election because he does this continually.

Republican replacement would strengthen their majority.

Manchin has to go.

and decides what does and does not happen. A majority is of primary importance.

If the Dems have a solid majority, then YES
If not, then NO.

We need to be in the majority to control the committee's and
determine what legislation comes to the floor.
You think the Senate Judiciary Committee under DEM control would allow
a vote on the main floor for Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination?

Otherwise, I agree with you, Manchin has to go.

beat the R.
In West Virginia.
Be careful though, there is risk in losing.

cooperating with a hostile foreign country to break campaign finance laws and to illegally hack an election. They are 100% Russian Repugs, fighting to keep illegal power they stole and putting an attorney who is all about russia in charge of investigating this and closing it down immediately. They are all liars, say Mueller's investigation is important snd Russia definitely impacted the election, then take affirmative steps to cover everything up by getting rid of Rosenstein, putting Putins mole in charge, then shutting down the investigation with time & knowledge of all the particulars so they can to develop lying evidence to present to the public as justification.

It's just a statement of where they stand. It doesn't actually DO anything or have any legal effect on anything. Maybe a msg to the allies. Who knows.

But when push comes to shove, the Repubs continue to rubberstamp the Russian Puppet in the W.H. where it counts.

What are all Flake's pretty speeches on the Senate floor for if he rubber stamps this nomination?

Hope he bothers to read it.

No going back. Call them what they are.

They want their Putin payola to be kept under cloak. Many in the US and abroad know they've been complicit with Putin's US puppet, but they inevitably want to keep this far, far away from investigation and prosecution. If this investigation can be brought to a halt, it will benefit them and their puppetmaster(s).

I'm sickened to voice this, but the simple and inescapable truth of this entire nightmare is the fact that the United States is no longer a constitutional democratic republic. Cheatolini has been kompromat since the '80s. The rethugs have allowed this happen, in fact, participated in it, because it fulfills their desires to rule by corporate kleptocracy and to create a White Males Only dominated country, women, children and minorities of any stripe are theirs to persecute, dominate, demean, use and discard at their whim and fancy with absolutely little to no say in what happens to them.

Avoid the smoke and mirrors and watch what they do, it makes much more sense, then.

Betraying us Dems again?

Trump is consolidating his power and undermining the defenses put in place by our constitution to protect against authoritarian rule. He has control of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branch and with this appointment may soon have control of the department of justice. The midterm vote is our last hope. If Trump can fix the vote one more time with the help of Russia, that will be checkmate.

My feeling is that there is more for Muller to look at than meets the eye, these people have been implicated by the man-child, he just looks and speaks stupid, but he is a mafioso who knows how to involve people into things that are no good so he can grab them by the balls.

Corker? Flake? they are all talk, you would think they would be targets for the democrats to talk them into a no vote for the supreme court nominee, but all they do is talk then they pull their pants down, like all the other repubs, when it comes to voting for stuff the man-child wants. Very weird...yes, indeed!
