Maybe, just maybe, as absolutely horrible as this situation is, there may just be some decent LOLs in the thing.

Twitter WILL be the place to look.

Disclaimer: I find twitter fascinating and terrifying at the same time. But have spent hours laughing at funny threads.

That is good, as it will keep the Kavanaugh attempted rape on people's minds for a while longer and maybe delay the confirmation. Congress doesn't like this sort of "publicity" on their hearings.

Keeping the 65 "girls" in the public eye not only lets them know we don't believe a word of that letter or that the 65 "girls" ever went to school with Kavanaugh, but it also shows that people are laughing at them for their transparent lies. That makes them nervous and they have enough other stuff to do that.

They aren't going to fight this Kavanaugh confirmation much longer, as they are losing ground and they don't have a lot of ground to lose. They don't like to be the brunt of jokes, although they've screwed up enough over the last couple of years they should be used to it by now.


Pepper them with 65 girls whenever the chance arises.

LOL LOL LOL.

I've lost confidence in Murkowski and Collins but if this doesn't shift their votes, Dems have a real chance for a competitive senate race in those states.

You are forgiven.

I was disappointed to learn Collins' husband lobbies for Russia. Do all Repub congresscritters have relatives who work for Russia? That puts her in a tight spot if true, so she'll be pushed mighty hard by the establishment Repubs to vote with the party.

They aren't a party, they're a mob.

Putin is an anti-gay capitalist and wants a revival of traditionalism ( with white supremacist overtones). People say Reagan is rolling in his grave over this Russia business, but the Russia of today isn't the USSR. If he were alive I'm convinced he'd work on making Putin a strong ally.

propaganda by condemning the anti-Russian candidate for President , which would be reinforced by the Israeli minister...who should also be in jail.

Meanwhile, as an unregistered foreign agent of Ukraine, 4.2 million dollars received but not disclosed in gratitude, he would advance the meme in America...he has Foxy friends after all.

He thinks Shapiro is funny.

It will be amusing to see how he tries to defend his hero.

added to the page. Can you imagine the string connection board Mueller has going in the "room?" There are so many tenacles that the only real comparison I can make is a hydra.

Trump said he would drain the swamp. He just didn't know how it was going to be done.
