President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Bad comparison! Nathan Peterman is STARTING at quarterback for the Bills on Sunday. SMH

 

They can gaslight: say it doesn't say what it says.

 

Trumpism isn't built to last.

When it's gone, who will be left in position to pick up the pieces of the Republican party and move forward?

There's an opening and I thought Flake would position himself to be there to carry the Republican banner. Be what Trump isn't and die on that hill, but rise from the ashes.

Now, no one, no side, sees him as anything other than empty gestures and hollow statements. Why'd he do that to himself?

He had an opening and took a knee.

 

I can relate

 

Ugh. I hadn't thought about that.

 

Lord, I hope this is true

 

Okay, Rick Wilson retweet..

Personally, I woulda gone with the Jiffy Pop outfits, but whatever

 

I bought some ABBA records a couple of weeks ago. True. Wife likes them.

 

Apologies, forgot to add I am not making any meaningful contribution right now.

@hondo I strive do do better no I don't.

 

He's good

John Hawkins, a veteran conservative blogger who runs a Kavanaugh-inspired “men’s website” called Brass Pills, organized the fundraising campaign. On Tuesday, Hawkins posted what he referred to as an “official statement” from Kavanaugh’s representatives distancing the justice from the effort:

“Justice Kavanaugh did not authorize the use of his name to raise funds in connection with the GoFundMe campaign. He was not able to do so for judicial ethics reasons. Judicial ethics rules caution judges against permitting the use of the prestige of judicial office for fund-raising purposes. Justice Kavanaugh will not accept any proceeds from the campaign, nor will he direct that any proceeds from the campaign be provided to any third party. Although he appreciates the sentiment, Justice Kavanaugh requests that you discontinue the use of his name for any fund-raising purpose.”

Hawkins said that he received the statement distancing the judge from the fundraiser about ten days ago from Travis Lenkner, a former clerk of Kavanaugh’s. Since then, Hawkins said, he took time to arrange an alternative destination for the funds. In an update posted along with the statement, Hawkins said he “did some research on charities supported by the Judge and settled on the Archdiocese of Washington which runs the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO).” GoFundMe will allow donors a week to ask for refunds if they are not happy with the fundraiser’s new destination.

Well, this makes me smile.

 

Oh, I forgot the best part

“This is a funny story which might be a bit too risqué for you to print … I was talking to a woman and … she was like, ‘Christine Blasey Ford has these GoFundMes up; I wish someone would do a GoFundMe for Brett Kavanaugh so that when this is over, he could sue that bitch,’” Hawkins recounted in a phone conversation on Tuesday.

Hawkins said he assumed Kavanaugh would not sue, but he figured the judge might need money for a lawyer or security.

“So I figured, hey, let’s do a GoFundMe — and that’s actually how it got started, as crazy as that sounds,” said Hawkins.
