I haven't considered for a second that Kavanaugh wasn't going to be confirmed.

I thought for a hot moment that he wouldn’t make it. So much questionable stuff coming out about his character and his history (plus his terrible performance at the hearing) that I figured that it was going to give the usual Republican (suspects) senators a decent chance to be the hero for a change instead of Republican sheeple, but now I don’t think it’s going to happen. Probably not even with Flake, whose got nothing to lose (if he votes ‘yes’ and has any notions of running for president he needs to get his head in the real world—ain’t gonna happen. No one would support such a wishy-washy coward). And Collins has done this little dance so many times that she’s just looking for any opportunity to say ‘Yes’. Murkowsky? Who knows….comes off as being pretty weak a lot of the time—just looking to keep her job.
I guess in the end it doesn’t make too much difference. Pick anyone of the first ten off that list they gave Trump and they would all be just about as good as Kavanaugh. Hard-core, right wing partisans, with no qualms about doing the most rotten things as long as it helps the Republican-right agenda to proceed.

There is apparently nothing Diane Feinstein won’t say to further embarrass herself.

Yeah pretty much like Chuck Grassley who said, “I’d hate to be judged by something I did thirty years ago” when he was the tender age of fifty.

Flip phones don't get the alert.   God I love my anachronistic device.

PRESIDENTIAL ALERT:  I'm an asshole!

I didn’t get the alert, either! I turned off my phone before heading into the Georgetown Safeway because first of all there is no reception and the WiFi is so sketchy the damn phone (four year old $35 BLU Android) burns up battery searching for a freaking signal and I had used GPS to get to a place in McLean and was down to 15% charge...

[LarryBnDC]

Trump playing this both ways. If Kav gets confirmed it is the culmination of the conservative fifty year went dream. If the vote goes down then it is the “Democrats are out to get me! I’m a victim and so are you” he says to white men who always scream at black people to “stop embracing your victimhood! You need to stop talking about what’s wrong and just get over it!”

Nothing like changing the subject.

What did Feinstein have to do with cell phone alerts and drinking while young and stupid?

Meanwhile, back in the world of DC private prep schools...

What did she say that embarrassed her?

She made some mundane obvious true point that flies in the face of the lies Red tells himself. It why Red has the feels.

Plus he thinks he might be able to take Diane Feinstein in a fist fight where he knows Elizabeth Warren would completely kick his sorry ass.

Speaking of Georgetown

Holy fuck did you get a load of that foreign policy prof on Twitter?

School says its not an issue.  On her free time.

[REDSTATEWARD]

Cory Booker now tries to soun stupider than Feinstein.
If that’s possible.

I'd wager he knows how to spell "sound."

Red goes on the attack, targeting an African American and a Jew, trying to distract and deflect from the Republican party's utter capitulation to an indecent and amoral leader.

But Red is only reflecting the party's base.

And today I awaken to "a 9pm curfew for all men...so women can go out at night in safety and run at night safely".

Baaah!
