President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yeah, back in high school, Garland was nominated to be hall monitor by the student body president. But since the student body president was black, the student council decided to let the next president (an unfunny class clown who never studied or did homework) pick his own monitors.

 

How would anyone know?

 

Nah, he was just getting eviscerated in the public eye before even getting a chance to field questions.

 

I thought there was humor to be found in the absurdity of what might have been a guy awkwardly losing his virginity costing him a Supreme Court seat 30 years later.
I forgot, there is no humor in politics. Not 'round these parts. Deadly serious stuff, this politics.
Carry on.

 

This story is gaining legs.
It's very funny to me that Kavanaugh looks like he's going to be yet another person destroyed by his association with Trump.

 

I would love for Kavanaugh not to get the seat for a whole bunch of reasons, but even a virulent anti-Trumpist has to see there's nothing to this little tempest. It's not even a tempest. It's a cloud in the distance.

 

Nah, I was riffing, too.

Needling! Rollicking good time!

 

"I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. "That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision."

This isn't going anywhere.

 

Doesn't help when you lie to Congress repeatedly and should be impeached and removed from the Triple-A gig you now hold. You become vulnerable, in theory, to old accusations that would otherwise be irrelevant.

 

Does that tweet mean Manafort doesn't have to give up the goods on his boy Trump to get leniency? Is Trump assuming facts not in evidence, so to speak?
Seems odd of the prosecutor to make a deal when the judge in this trial, unlike the obviously disappointed Trumpist in the previous proceeding, hasn't clearly identified herself as a partisan superfan of the defendant.

 

I am willing to admit it will probably go nowhere.
But I remember when Stormy Daniels and Mike A. were considered a joke, and ... that did not at all fade away.
If I held some of the unpleasant positions of Kavanaugh and were on potentially the last job interview of my life, I might expect all kinds of goblins from my past to spring up.
