Orangeutan's JournalRepublicans may do the right thing on Kavanaugh--not because it's the right thing to do . . . .
but because it could come back to smack them big time in the fall elections if they don't.

Collins and Murkowski know in their hearts that the accuser's story is entirely credible.
Now they just have to do the right thing, as fellow women.
What are the odds that they will?
Trump v. WWF tag team of Stormy & Omarosa
First Stormy with the daily damaging revelations; now Omarosa has Trump on the ropes, giving him a good whuppin'. Somebody should make an animated cartoon short of this ring action!
A double negative was just too confusing for the dotard to pull off
See, there's a perfectly innocent explanation for it all!

Gallup weekly is driving me f'ing crazy
Trump swaggers over to Europe, pisses all over NATO, then bulls into Britain, cuts off the queen, trashes the P.M. and raises an uproar in Trafalgar Square, and today his disapproval drops sharply while his approval rating rebounds? What the fuck??!!
Next Air Force One will be all red and say "MAGA" on the side
Just kidding. But Trump does want to redesign the new version to include a splash of red and move up production by three years, in time for his 2021 inaugural (if we should be so cursed). The man does love him some red. (And Reds.)

I don't get it. I just don't get it. (Shakes head.)
The senate voted 97-2 yesterday to affirm the importance of NATO as a deterrent to Russia--an implicit rebuke of Trump and a recognition of the threat he poses.
Then, in an about face, they voted 51-48 in cloture to bring the nomination of Benczkowski to the floor for a vote, with every Repug falling into line.
This guy has never so much as filed a motion in a courtroom, and they think he's fit to run DoJ's Criminal Division and oversee hundreds of prosecutors?
This guy also whitewashed the investigation into the Russian firm Alpha Bank and its role in the Russian meddling as a lawyer representing the bank. As head of the Criminal Division at Justice, he'll be able to fling monkey wrenches at the gears of the Mueller investigation and would be in line to replace Rosenstein should he be removed.
No one on the R side was willing to stand up to this travesty? Not Flake? Not Corker? Sasse? Murkowski? The squishy Collins? None of them?! What are all Flake's pretty speeches on the Senate floor for if he rubber stamps this nomination?
Local Girl Makes Good
Maureen Dowd's column today. Love the way this candidate characterizes Trump, based on her life experience.

Did anyone else think it was weird . . .
that the room broke into applause when Trump was done making his sober remarks about the newspaper shooting?
I swear there is something about that guy's raging narcissism that, on a subconscious level, begs for applause, and in response people feel the need to be obsequious to him. Does anyone think that the room would have responded that way to a similar statement from Obama? Nor should they have. It was inappropriate--yet it happened. Bizarre.
Or maybe his audience just thought--"Wow! The guy actually got through a delicate performance of his duties for once without fucking it up! Let's give him a round of applause!"
"Finish it the hell up!"
Funny, Gowdy was content to take his damn time with Benghazi.
These guys are criminals.
