We'll see. It's not even clear what the scope of the FBI's investigation is today. If the FBI report is damning, maybe Kavanaugh simply withdraws his nomination, the Reps keep the report sealed, and the DOJ does not pursue any FBI recommended charges.

He was under oath, and he blatantly lied multiple times. In his attempt to win ascension to SCOTUS, he may have sacrificed his Circuit Court seat. Not too big a deal though. He can return to more clearly partisan political activities.

They should've added more when Kavanaugh talked about "working his butt off." e.g. "I worked my butt off to get into Yale! I chose my parents VERY CAREFULLY! Did you? DID YOU? I worked my butt off to get into an elite private high school! You don't just get there by being born into a wealthy...

A very angry Matt Damon guest stars as Brett Kavanaugh on 'SNL' premierehttps://www.yahoo.com/gma/very-angry-matt-damon-guest-stars-brett-kavanaugh-041003656--abc-news-topstories.html

That's the right question to ask though, at this point. Accepting everything Ford said as true, should this disqualify Kavanaugh from the Supreme Court? Remember, we're not discussing his liberty/freedom, nor losing his current job, just whether he's the best Federalist for SCOTUS. Due to the...

Sorry, I was neither trying to win that election, nor was Garland my boy. I voted for the least worst candidate, as I do in every election. For the first time in my adult life, the least worst presidential candidate was Clinton in 2016. Here?s what the FBI should ask Kavanaugh, that the Dems...

Most politicians care little about consistency and hypocrisy, but commenters here care shockingly little too. Do Trump enthusiasts understand how incredibly ironic it is they're complaining about stall tactics after Garland's nomination?

I haven?t commented on Kavanaugh?s nomination. SCOTUS nominations/appointments have become wholly political, and if you hold the Senate and Executive branch, the only constraint is political blowback. There was a treasure trove of fully expected political blowback with Kavanaugh, before any...

One thing's abundantly clear today, Republican Senators are far more concerned about the mid-terms than the Trump enthusiasts here.

There's a reason he avoids these pressers. Every Insane Comment Trump Made About Women During His Unhinged Press Conferencehttps://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/every-insane-trump-made-women-235344406.html

?They weren?t laughing at me, they were laughing with me,? said Trump during the press conference in New York. ?We had fun. That was not laughing at me. The fake news said ?people laughed at President Trump.? They didn?t laugh at me. People had a good time with me. We were doing it together. We...

Did you pay AMT in 2017? Is your financial situation pretty similar in 2018? If your income supports a ~$1M mortgage, you have to be in the AMT; and if you are, you haven't been fully deducting property taxes and CA income taxes anyway. Deductions are always voluntary.

10Y UST is up 64 bps this year, and 20 bps this month. Looks like it dropped 4 bps after today's Fed announcement. https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/Pages/TextView.aspx?data=yieldYear&year=2018

Fed raised the Funds Rate 25 bps, again. The 10Y UST has held above 300 bps for a few days. Housing prices are under rate pressure. Where will the 30Y fixed rate be in 2019?

Haley nailed it! The UN wasn't laughing at Trump. They were respecting him. Yep, that's it. That's the only reasonable conclusion. Nikki Haley: United Nations Laughter Not A Diss But A Sign Of Respect For Trump?s ?Honesty?https://www.yahoo.com/news/nikki-haley-says-united-nations-122745414.html

This is crossing the civilized discourse line for me. Maybe gather outside the restaurant, engage arms, and sing "We Shall Overcome" or something. That would seem to carry more emotional weight, and be far more respectful behavior.

There's a thread for the SCOTUS issue. I was responding to a joke about sexual assault.

Good job - more jokes about sexual assault. The Reps are trying to lose every woman voter in these mid-terms.

That's what we have to hope. The alternative is scary - that things are so insane in this White House, that recording Trump could possibly reveal info that could overcome the steep 25th Amendment hurdles.
