Sure not company I would want to be in!! CNN Poll: Brett Kavanaugh nomination has lowest public support since Robert BorkBy Jennifer Agiesta, CNN Polling Director Updated 3:02 PM ET, Thu August 16, 2018 Washington (CNN)Donald Trump's second Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, receives a cooler public reception than nearly every nominee for the last four administrations, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. Women are a driving force behind the tepid response, with fewer than three in 10 saying Kavanaugh ought to be confirmed. Overall, 37% of Americans say they'd like to see the Senate vote in favor of his confirmation. Kavanaugh's support is the lowest in polling dating back to Robert Bork's nomination by President Ronald Reagan in 1987. That's lower support for Kavanaugh than similar public assessments of the unsuccessful nominations of Merrick Garland and Harriet Miers, as well as all successful nominees save David Souter, Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer, for whom equivalent data are not available. Slightly more, 40%, say the Senate should not vote to confirm Kavanaugh, while 22% have no opinion on the matter. And Americans' first impressions of the judge are mixed: 33% have a generally positive take, 27% neutral and 29% generally negative. ** Much more at link: www.cnn.com/2018/08/16/politics/cnn-poll-kavanaugh-confirmation/index.htmlNone of that will matter to the GOP

C) Her makeup looks really nice, good color palette for her Do y'all get a talking points memo? That's the 3rd time in the 3rd completely unrelated place today that I've seen someone mention her makeup looking good. I've not seen it mentioned anywhere. I thought she looked nice, and as she's often dogged for her looks and that pisses me off I wanted to make a positive comment.

Is anyone reading Unhinged?
So far it's very interesting, but badly edited.
What I've learned so far.
Melania is a fantastic mother but Trump is a shitty dad. Trump hates Don Jr. and treats him like crap. Dogs him every chance he can and Jr craves his love and never gets it. , Trump actually does covet Ivanka and doesn't let her out of his sight at functions they attend. He always keeps tabs on her. Trump bad mouths everyone, even his trusted people, behind their back. He hates every person in his inner circle. Takes credit for work he has never done.
All things we already knew, but I'm only half through it. Omarosa loves to talk about how great she is too. 😳🤪

Newsweek....
“Donald Trump, who's made more than 4,000 misleading statements, criticizes John Brennan's "lying" bit”
Yea and we know what lies trump tells because they are easily checkable. As to Brennan’s lies I’m pretty sure they are all only in trump’s feeble little brain.

Kyle Griffin...
“Major Trump donors are bothered that the campaign may have been used as a slush fund to pay fired or troublesome employees.
"It's diverting donor money that could be used to wage the midterm election battle ... instead, it's an elongated hush payment."
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the money went to pay fired & troublesome employees. None what so ever.

“The FBI received documents from Bruce Ohr (of the Justice Department & whose wife Nelly worked for Fusion GPS).” Disgraced and fired FBI Agent Peter Strzok. This is too crazy to be believed! The Rigged Witch Hunt has zero credibility.”
Not that he has ever made much sense in his rants, but this one makes even less than his normal.

It's the same old false equivalence - supposedly Christopher Steele getting his information from people who interacted with Trump in Russia while doing opposition research is exactly the same as the Trump campaign sitting down at a table with a representative of the Russian government. Next thing, they'll be accusing the Mueller probe of collusion because they've talked to Russians in investigating Trump.

I find it fascinating that whatever Trump does is A-ok with these folks, but they have to finagle a way to say that Hillary really did whatever it was. It's batshit crazy. Seriously. Trump's campaign (apparently with Trump's consent) actually met with Russian operatives who had an agenda to disrupt the American government, and they're trying to blame Hillary for it.

That's the Trump M.O. - whatever he's accusing other people of doing, is what he's actually doing himself. He knew HE was the one involved in criminal conspiracy when he started the "lock her up" chants at his rallies.

Anyone watching Rachel Maddow? The discussion about revoking security clearances from Mueller and staff?!?!?!?! This was brought up after Brennan had stated that the only time he had used his was to go in and refresh his memory from his notes from while he was working...... Which means he and any others would not be able to access their notes/information were they called to testify by Congress or in court!!
This had never crossed my mind before....... LOTS to think about on this one!
ETA: Brennan will be on her show tomorrow night, followed by Bannon later, as note by fred above.

Sometimes watching Rachel can be so much fun.
Tonight she was talking about the toddler removing Brennan’s security clearance and the possible removal of the others on the toddler’s list.
Couple of points she made where all this could lead to.
1. All the names on toddler’s list he associates with the Russia Investigatoin and is holding them responsible for this “witch hunt”.
2. Some on the list are potential witnesses if Mueller should decide he has a case against the toddler. By stripping these individuals of their security clearances he stops them from reviewing their notes from when they worked for the government if that information is deemed classified.
3. More than likely Mueller and his team have security clearances because of the nature of the classified information they need to review in their investigation. What if the toddler makes up some half-ass excuse, like he did for stripping Brennan of his clearance, and starts stripping the security clearances from Mueller and his team therefore denying them access to the information they need to complete the investigation?
Granted none of this may happen but it is trump we are talking about here and what if it does? Then what?

That would be directly obstructing justice. No, obstruction of justice is a Democratic crime. If you're a Republican, it's called 'being smart' or 'saving the country from the evil libs' or some such BS.

The little toddler isn’t going to get his toy....
“The local politicians who run Washington, D.C. (poorly) know a windfall when they see it. When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up! I will instead...
attend the big parade already scheduled at Andrews Air Force Base on a different date, & go to the Paris parade, celebrating the end of the War, on November 11th. Maybe we will do something next year in D.C. when the cost comes WAY DOWN. Now we can buy some more jet fighters!”
MurielBowser...
“Yup, I’m Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington DC, the local politician who finally got thru to the reality star in the White House with the realities ($21.6M) of parades/events/demonstrations in Trump America (sad).”
Do you think if we took up a collection we could pay France to keep trump in France? The man is nuttier than a fruit cake.

Matt McDermott..
“Every article about this ridiculous military parade should make clear that Trump hasn’t made a single trip to visit our war zone troops since taking office. Zero.”
Important point. President Obama went in April after taking office in January.
