Kavanaugh

by NoahEvery time some new allegations about "Supreme" Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh surface, like they did recently, I am reminded of how Republican logic works. They will blindly rally around an apparent drunken serial abuser while labeling any black young male, a thug. They have a whole TV channel dedicated to things like that. And god forbid if someone takes a knee to protest the police murder of any black youth anywhere.

by NoahUnless you are ridiculously naive, you have to know by now that Maine's $enator Susan Collins would have welcomed Alabama Judge Roy Moore into the United States $enate. Had the man she considers her boss of bosses, Donald Trump, nominated Judge Moore for the "Supreme" Court, she would have voted for him just as she voted for Brett Kavanaugh.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg had the lower lobe of her left lung removed in December due to cancer. Less than eight months later, she completed three weeks of radiation therapy to treat a tumor on her pancreas.

Will the U.S. Supreme Court expose itself to the public as a failed institution in this term or the next? (Iconic Portland Oregon poster showing future mayor Bud Clark and a downtown statue. Title: "Expose Yourself to Art." Story here.)by Thomas NeuburgerThe second point ... about the illusion of the Court's legitimacy, is just as important as the first.

State Senator Shenna Bellows-- fingers crossedThe 2020 Senate map is better than the 2018 map was-- but not much better. The Democrats really only have one tough seat to defend that they are likely to lose, Alabama (Jones)-- but that's the only good news. The bad news is that most of the Republican seats up for grabs are pretty safe too.

The Washington Post was aware for more than a year of Vanessa Tyson's claim of sexual assault against Virginia's Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax, a Democrat who is next in line to become Governor if Ralph Northam steps down. The paper, however, declined to publish the story, claiming it could not be corroborated.

The investigation found 'no evidence' to back sexual assault claims against Kavanaugh, and two accusers were referred to the DOJ for making false statements. One confessed she made up the story of Kavanaugh raping her in a car because she was angry and wanted attention.

Julie Swetnick, in a TV interview, walked back some of her claims she previously made under oath.  She faces charges of providing false statements to Congress and obstruction. Grassley said that ignoring this behavior will just invite more of it in the future.

by NoahGiven the outline of the situation in Trump's weak mind, the idea behind tonight's meme doesn't seem far-fetched at all. As the world laughs at King Salman and Bullshit Don, cooking up their childish lies and expecting us to buy them, can't we expect a calendar to be offered into evidence any day now?

Mark Collett joins Henrik to talk about MSM's "outrage reactions" to Trump declaring that he is a nationalist. The caravan from Honduras is getting closer to the US border, we ask who the organizers are and what they motive is? We continue discussing IsraAid, HIAS and Faith Goldy's campaign.
