That is the big if! If they come out to vote! This is one seriously important election. Trump has damaged nearly every important government agency, down to the protections for endangered animals and safe water. We need to support the Democrats in a big way. In addition to the list above, I also gave money to the ACLU and to Need To Impeach. The latter takes donations through ACT BLUE, just like the Democrats. I really want the government to start serving the American people again, instead of kissing corporate buttocks.
Elizabeth Rasor who dated either Kavanaugh or Judge is saying she was told way back then about the group sex events where young girls were raped. If Bill Cosby goes to prison for the date rape drug & sex so should a rich white guy from the Republican Party. On that same note, an Oklahoma Republican senator just plead guilty after he got caught with an under age boy...and some drugs...in a hotel room. In Texas a Republican radio talk show host got caught for sex with under age boys and possession of child porn. Nice Conservatives in the Republican Party...always talking about Jesus and family values!
Watching FOX News over the last couple of days you’d think every Kavanaugh accuser is either suffering from memory loss, has been hypnotized by a left-leaning hypnotherapist, has false memories, was too drunk at the time to accurately recall the events, is simply outright lying, or it was a case of mistaken identity – there’s no possibility their white knight in shining armor could be that terrible worm in an iron cocoon
I'm not sure why we don't have a separate thread for Kavanaugh here... Not EVERYTHING is about the RUMP ya know...although he doesn't realize that, being the ultimate narcissus, esp after today's press conference. This was projected onto the US Court of Appeals. Oh, and there IS a 4th Accuser now, but she's trying to remain anonymous! Her story dates from 1998, not the 80s!
Trump concocts a narcissistic rationalization for UN members laughng at him. Trump on world leaders: 'They didn't laugh at me' By REBECCA MORIN 09/26/2018 06:30 PM EDT Trump on world leaders: 'They didn't laugh at me'
The press conference (if it could be called one) by Trump on September 26 should erase any doubts that people might have had about whether he has a condition of malignant narcissism. Donald Trump's me, me, me, me press conference Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large Updated 8:53 PM ET, Wed September 26, 2018 Donald Trump's me, me, me, me press conference - CNNPolitics The Beatles - I Me Mine
Trump and Pence along with their Republican cronies have been pushing a hard capitalism/corporate command economy. Nothing else matters to them so they have destroyed most government services, including the seriously needed welfare programs for the poor. I took time to read the Constitution of the United States, along with its Amendments. I saw no constitutional guarantee to a corporate command economy. In fact, it is not even mentioned at all. I also looked at the Preamble and saw that it describes the government role as ensuring Domestic Tranquility, ensuring Defense of the country, ensuring Welfare of the people, and ensuring the Blessings of Liberty. The preamble and the constitution do not give Trump and Pence the right to trample all over the people of the United State on their trek to Billionaire-dom. Donald Trump has no constitutional right to evade taxes by parking his money in other countries, nor a constitutional right to violate campaign finance laws so he could pull a fast one over the Democrats and the rest of the American people. And he has no constitutional right to pay off women to hide sexual activity which might have a negative impact on his campaign. I say there is a constitutional right to public welfare; however, there is no right for Donald Trump and coconspirators to become billionaires.
This is my biggest complaint. Conservatives, republicans, "christians" are all hypocrites. Edited to add, Kavanaugh, and his wife were members of the bush administration. that says alot.
We must remember that Trump himself has been accused of rape, sexual misconduct, and is an admitted sexual predator and that Kavanaugh is his choice, he fully supports him, and he refuses to demand an FBI investigation into these claims which could possibly prove or disprove them once and for all. Further Trump's support of Kavanaugh and the support of Kavanaugh from the majority of Republicans, who also support Trump, has led to the total castration of the Supreme Court as far as legitimacy even if Kavanaugh doesn't get appointed. It is extremely apparent to me that the Republicans, by their refusal to even hold a hearing on Obama's Supreme Court choice and their refusal to hold a legitimate investigation into the Kavanaugh affair, have no interest in finding impartial Supreme Court justices. All they want is someone who will push their agenda...exactly the attitude of Trump. Win at all cost. They're all cut from the same mold.
Trump praises the dictator of North Korea for the 'beautiful piece of art' letter he sent Trump. MAGA = Making Authoritarianism Great Again Trump praises 'beautiful' letter from Kim as he relaxes nuclear weapons demands by Nicola Smith, Asia correspondent 27 September 2018 • 10:04am Trump praises 'beautiful' letter from Kim as he relaxes nuclear weapons demands excerpt: “He likes me, I like him, we get along. He wrote me two of the most beautiful letters. When I showed one of the letters, just one, to Prime Minister Abe, he said this is actually a ground-breaking letter, this is an incredible, this is a historic letter,” Mr Trump told reporters gathered for the United Nations General Assembly. “And it is a historic letter, it’s a beautiful, it’s a beautiful piece of art. And I think we’re going to make a deal. Will we make a deal? I don’t really know. I think we’re going to. In the meantime, and I’ve said it, and I don’t want to bore you, no rockets, no missiles, no nuclear tests for over a year,” he added.
So much winning... for Brazil, not U.S. farmers. US-China trade war winner: Brazil soybean exports Maylan Studart Reporter - Yahoo Finance September 25, 2018 US-China trade war winner: Brazil soybean exports excerpt: "Brazil’s soybean exports to China have already been increasing. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the share of Brazil’s soybean exports destined for China was 85% in August, up from 78% in July. While the trade war is beneficial to Brazil, Eduardo Guardia, Brazil’s finance minister, said his country supports free trade."
Trump's very, very large brain claimed on Wednesday that he averted a nuclear war with North Korea. Luckily for us he rode into town and ousted that evil villain Obama.
Now that Trump has declared that he has saved the world from what would have been certain nuclear war, it's time for him to do another narcissistic, Hollywood-style movie trailer like he released when he met with Kim Jong-un in Singapore. The video is real. Trump had his staff make it. They used the term Destiny Productions, the name of a real production company which quickly responded by saying that it had nothing to do with the making of Trump's video.
The bailouts call into question the fate of all of the farm products that will be purchased by the U.S. government as part of a disaster relief program to mitigate the effects of Trump's protectionist policies. They could be stored, destroyed, or potentially sold to other countries at a discounted price to try to make up for retaliatory tariffs. Another option for Trump is to take the government purchases of surplus grain and dairy, turn them into breakfast cereal and powdered milk, and ship them directly to people's houses as part of his perceived fantastic plan to replace the food stamps program. Trump is giving farmers a $6 billion bailout so they can weather his trade war by Jeff Daniels Published 3:39 PM ET Mon, 27 Aug 2018 Updated 6:41 PM ET Mon, 27 Aug 2018 Trump is giving farmers a $6 billion bailout so they can weather his trade war excerpt: "Soybeans have been hard hit by Chinese tariffs and stand to get up to $3.6 billion in assistance under the Market Facilitation Program. Another $290 million will go to pork, about $277 million for cotton and $156 million for grain sorghum, as well as $127 million for dairy, $119 million for wheat and $96 million for corn. The government plans to purchase up to nearly $85 million in dairy products in the food purchase program and up to nearly $560 million in pork products. There's also plans to buy nearly $93 million in apples, about $55.6 million in oranges, as well as more than $100 million in various nuts."
I heard that the Chief Justice, John Roberts, may not be happy with a kavanaugh appointment because he feels the court will be tainted.
