Kavanaugh

by NoahA cornered rat, sniveling and squealing like they do. A cornered rat with an overgrown malignant sense of entitlement to whatever he wants. A cornered rat who has gotten away with being just what he is, a rat, all of his life. That cornered rat has hit a wall. Will he escape? They usually do, but if we the people let him, then shame on us.

"Beto" is enough. Or, better, BETO. No one has to say O'Rourke. I worked at Sire Records and it was very convenient, to say the least, to have artists with one word names, like Madonna, Enya, Seal, Morrissey. No one has to wonder who Bono is or Cher or Flea, Prince, Beck, Divine, Drake, Björk, Ringo, Adele, Sting, Oprah, Joni, Moby, Eminem.

Early this morning, the Washington Post ran an opinion piece by columnist Greg Sargent, Another Trump coverup? Former FBI agents question limits on probe of Kavanaugh that didn't dilly-dally around.

Consider the possibility that this is all a pre-planned script whereby Jeff Flake is depicted as the Honest Principled Man who ultimately gives everyone else cover to vote for Kavanaugh https://t.co/IqL3b020mh— David Sirota (@davidsirota) September 30, 2018

Several researchers say the IP address traces back to the office of Representative Maxine Waters. Waters responded by saying "the United States Capitol Police and our internal IT specialist have determined that the IP address in question does not belong to my office or anyone on my staff."

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions requesting a criminal investigation of Jeff Catalan, who claimed that a female friend was sexually assaulted and later recanted his story. [Will an investigation for false statements discourage future spurious accusations?]

President Trump says the FBI investigation of Judge Kavanaugh may reveal who leaked the letter by Christine Blasey Ford to the press. Trump does an amazingly accurate imitation of Feinstein's denial that neither she or her staff leaked the document.
