"We're now stuck in some awful Wizard of Oz parody of politics. The right has no heart, the left has no brain, the centre lacks courage and the sane ones are frantically clicking their heels together."

"Canada's trade deficit shrinks in July, surplus with U.S. highest since October 2008"
Trump is so fucking dumb, he's in a trade war with us over wanting to sell more milk to Canada by taxing our steel and oil exports... jeez, I wonder why it's not working! #stablegenius

- harris is an idiot. I've watched the entire thing so far and kavanaugh has pretty much killed each lame attempt to trap him.Gnash
- No she isn’t.monospaced
- here, she is. so desperate to try and "catch" him. it's pathetic.Gnash
- her delusion that it should be up to the judiciary to correct the failings of congress is telling.Gnash
- no, she isn'tmonospaced
- the fact that congress failed doesn't mean she's an idiot for pointing out this man is a fucking piece of shit scumbag and liarmonospaced

- nobody should praise this CLINT for getting away with this shit, simply because he can't answer a question honestlymonospaced
- Everything is a hypothetical with this fucktard.Ramanisky2
- where the fuck is he lying? they are grasping at straws. in each case they had a problem with his court decisions, it's been a flawed law -- congress's problemGnash
- I've watched all the testimony so far and I've yet to see the dems bring up any of his previous rulings that weren't correct to the law.Gnash
- it's these elected fuckwits that need to make/change/update the laws. they can't criticize his judgments so they try and "catch" him in a lie.Gnash
- and I'm not 'praising' him, the dems are fucked here and their theatre is just thatGnash

- how can you people be so fucking dense? Obviously, from the documents the (D) received, they know he met with Trump's personal lawyer...hobgoblin
- ... to discuss the Mueller investigation. This is a clear conflict of interest and this alone should be enough for him to acknowledge and step away. except,hobgoblin
- he won't, because this whole fucking thing is rigged, and he's being put in proactively so he can pardon Trump. Fucking hell. If Obama did even a tenthhobgoblin
- of the shit trump and his administration is (treason, then, nominate a judge to pardon you in the future) your simple minded brains would have exploded.hobgoblin
- the fucking fact that you dismiss it as "omg she was so bitchy amirite?!" is a travesty in of itself.hobgoblin
- @hobgoblin dude, calm yoour tits. I agree w/ the challenge and what's being brought to light. Her attitude & approach, however, is bitchy, disrespectful &nasty.chukkaphob
- +100 hobgoblin
-100 chukkaRamanisky2 - bullshit. if the dems had any, any, documents showing that Kav. was colluding in any way they'd have slammed them down. no questionGnash
- like the documents the Kooker released to day "illegally" (what a hero)? Trying to show Kav. was a racist, when in fact they showed the opposite.Gnash
- Trump may very well think (and pray) that Kav. will have his back but no way Kav will cook any judgment that's outside the law.Gnash
- and "fixed" -- are you kidding? every dem has nominated a dem, and every rep has done the same.Gnash

+1000 chukkachukkaphob - Bitchy and disrespectful, first of all, aren't the same as stupid. They are also warranted compared to Kavanaugh's despicable levels of contempt.monospaced
- x infinity hobgoblinmonospaced
- who said bitchy and disrespectful are the same as stupid? huh??chukkaphob
- He called her stupid. We said she wasn’t. Then you said he was right, she was bitchy. They aren’t the same.monospaced
- you gave him a +1 for it evenmonospaced
- @mono huh?? where did he call her stupid?? dude.chukkaphob
- I called her an idiot.Gnash
- Right, Goes to show Mono hears what he wants to hear and not what others say. Fact.chukkaphob
- I thought she was pretty good...especially pushing on the Kasowitz Benson Torres question. Not bitchy at all.see_thru

- where? Literally his first comment "Harris is an idiot"monospaced
- maybe it's you with the issues reading, chukkamonospaced
- pathetic attempt to call me out though, since it totally backfired on youmonospaced
- and yes, "idiot" implies "stupid," so don't even bother with any petty symantecs shit here ... I don't "hear what I want."monospaced
- and that isn't one of my characteristics either, so what the fuck are you on about?monospaced
- She's not an idiot, she's not stupid, and she is 100% justified in being a bitch to this lying piece of shit, who is clearly a crooked fuck and deserves itmonospaced
- trump is stupid, idiot is different. I don't think she's stupid. Why the hate for this guy? I've watched all the testimony and he seems quite reasonableGnash
- I sure hope he doesn't contribute to overturning Roe, but he's no ideologue, thank goodnessGnash
- And there's no evidence he's been lyingGnash
- LOL @monochukkaphob
- Gnash, they all sound reasonable in the hearings. But of course the whole reason this guy is being nominated is because he's a reliable vote for conservatives.yuekit
- So "why all the hate"... basically because his nomination is going to shift the entire society to the right in terms of abortion rights, workers rights, etc.yuekit
- At this point the court has a majority of these hard right people like Kavanaugh, in spite of GOP only winning the popular vote once in the past 20 years.yuekit
- then congress needs to change the laws rather than rely on appointing like-minded people to the judiciary.Gnash
- It's not quite that simple though is it? For instance when the Supreme Court decided that donating unlimited money in American elections is equivalent to freeyuekit
- speech, that's not something that can be overruled with a law. And there are plenty of other examples like that.yuekit
- it's not the judiciary's job to be an 'unelected' secondary government. they are not supposed to make policyGnash
- By saying "the government can never fix or address this issue", they are effectively making policy. That's how the conservative block of the U.S. Supreme Courtyuekit
- has operated with decisions like Citizens United and many others. So it's a little disingenuous to say "just write better laws" when many of their decisionsyuekit
- prevent the legislature from doing exactly that. That's more of what you'll get with Kavanaugh.yuekit
- all the judiciary can do is interpret the law, not change it. none of their decisions blocks legislators from amending and changing laws.Gnash
- I get what you're saying, though. senate is so useless that they can't seem to agree on how wet water is.Gnash
- Not sure how familiar you are with the U.S. Supreme Court but the past couple decades it has been moving in a very conservative direction, issuing sweepingyuekit
- decisions that take the power away from the legislature. So for instance: you can't regulate campaign donations, you can't regulate guns, unions can't organizeyuekit
- their members etc. That DOES actually block legislature from making laws, because now you can't have an effective campaign finance law for instance.yuekit
- With Kavanaugh in there, reproductive rights could be next, maybe environmental laws, etc. I get that the GOP/ Fox News spin is that "he's just like an umpire"yuekit
- but that's a very naive view.yuekit
- it may hinder, but it doesn't block them. If the decision is based on a law that Congress has passed, Congress can actually change that lawGnash
- If congress thinks that the court has interpreted a law incorrectly, congress can then amend the law to make it clearerGnash
- if a decision is based on the constitution, then that constitution can be amended. Obviously easier said than done.Gnash
- they are unelected - the judiciary should not be making policy, or appear to be making policyGnash
- that's not the "fox news" viewpoint, that's what the founders had intended.Gnash
- I hope Roe isn't overturned but if it is then congress needs to find a way to correct that.Gnash
- Well as a practical matter the Constitution isn't going to be amended. Just isn't going to happen. So the real-world impact of a right-wing Supreme Courtyuekit
- deciding that it's "unconstitutional" for Congress to legislate on something is that it does indeed take it out of their control.yuekit
- As far as what the founders intended, who knows what they intended on most issues. Take the Second Amendment for instance, is it an unlimited right to own anyyuekit
- weapon, or intended more for militias? That's why the interpretation is so important.yuekit
- Someone like Kavanaugh, who is pretty much a George Bush style Republican, is probably going to rule to give the government a lot of power over nationalyuekit
- security (he was in favor of the NSA surveillance program for instance), but much less power when it comes to regulating business. Apparently he sidedyuekit
- with corporations in disputes against workers something like 80% of the time as a judge.yuekit
- You're not wrong in that the interpretation of constitution can have wide outcomes. but I do think the founders were very clear on the role of the judiciary.Gnash

"I mean the true interference in the last election was that—if you look at all, virtually all of those companies are super-liberal companies in favor of Hillary Clinton," Trump said. "Maybe I did a better job because I'm good with the Twitter and I'm good at social media, but the truth is they were all on Hillary Clinton's side, and if you look at what was going on with Facebook and with Google and all of it, they were very much on her side."
