House Dems Finally Ask For Millions Of Brett Kavanaugh's Hidden Documents

Source: Huffington Post

The House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday requested the National Archives produce millions of documents from Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s time in President George W. Bush’s administration.

Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), chairman of a subcommittee with oversight of federal courts, made the request. Activist groups have long been demanding an investigation into Kavanaugh’s background, claiming the Senate Judiciary Committee failed to carry one out before approving his nomination last year.

What is your debate drinking game?

I've decided my husband has to drink every time someone says "kitchen table" (as in "kitchen table issues" ), but he has to come up with one for me. So far the candidates are

1. "Medicare for All" (or, alternatively, "single payer" )
2. "Middle Class"
3. "Impeach or Impeachment"

Anyone out there have ideas?

Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex

has more class in each individual hair on her head than the entire extended family of the orange menace has ever had.

I'm so embarrassed by him right now I could cry.

I never really cared for Jon Voight as an actor.

Now, I guess I don't have to worry about watching anything he does. Idiot.

Warning--bad language. But seriously funny.

I thought about trying to create something like this, but I could never do as good a job of it as this guy did.

Please send hopeful thoughts to my friend from Sri Lanka.

I have not been able to reach him so far. He lives here in the states, but goes back to visit his family in Sri Lanka often. I don't know if any of his family or friends have been affected, but I'm getting more and more fearful, the longer I can't reach him.

He is not a close friend, but he is a friend. And he is a wonderful guy. Please direct your hopeful and healing thoughts toward my friend.

Thanks.

On edit: On re-reading this I realize it looks very "sanitary", as if made up. I assure you it is not. I don't want to mention my friend's name, but he works at a casino near my home. That's where I met him. I know many of the staff there, but a couple of them have become friends, and he is one of them. I still haven't heard anything, but I will let you know if I do.

F**king CNN.

This idiot is talking about how "bad" Obama looks in the Russia scandal. Of course he leaves out a LOT of details, like how hard McConnell and the Dump Campaign worked to stop Obama's admin from doing anything. Even so, he minimizes the sanctions the investigations, etc., just to talk about how BAD Obama comes out it this.

And then fucking CNN puts it at the top page with a big picture of "Bad" Obama.
