In English, Trump has conceded that seasonal Mexican labour is essential to the US at present wage consideration. So much for outsourcing US jobs to Mexico and restricting the influx of Mexican labourers...not to mention, the need for a wall.

There's ~700 miles of "wall" already there... it's called "the fence"... technical term. Do you think the Orange Blowhole even knows about it? ;)

I suspect this codicil won't get much air time when the agreement hits the spam. Meanwhile, the Mexican president-elect won't ratify any US-Mexico NAFTA agreement bi-laterally...ergo, another Trumpian 'deal' gone horribly wrong.

But JTC... wasn't that the only "deal" he's actually made? Because all his "deals" are actually where he tore up other deals?

At a minimum, Avenatti and his client will be interviewed on The Circus on Showtime. The interview was filmed at one of the WAS aiports, as they were either coming or going. It was Tue. AM, I think. Time has blurred. It should be interesting, because the allegation was only a day or two old, and the odds on the FBI investigation were pretty damned low.

They may give other interviews, of course. Avenatti has Rudy's Disease; getting between him and a microphone is as dangerous as crossing against the light at rush hour.

Even my scroll wheel doesn't save me from everything. My burden is heavy.

Nice post, JTC. Your friend you call the ambulance chaser is all over this too.

JTC, though... seriously now... repeat after me:

Av is a race car driver... not an ambulance chaser.

Got that?

I do like to keep up. Thank you.

Regarding the "Feinstein sat on it" angle, Repubs should have been willing to evaluate the claims once they were raised, period.

I totally agree. I don't even think she "sat on it" really... just FUBAR the way the whole thing was handled. Not just the Dr. Blasey Ford issue but also the whole documents SNAFU, obfuscation, and subterfuge. What a mess. I would have bet a chunk of change they were going to ramrod him on the SCOTUS. Weird day.

I lost a bet to multiple of my peeps! :)

They didn't make any pretense of even considering them initially - they went straight into denial mode.

And that whole documents issue and the perjury beforehand. I think they got lulled into thinking they got a clean getaway and then... BAM! #Pathetic

Having said that, I think they knew something like Ford and others were lurking in the bushes because they managed to cobble together the famous 65-woman letter in record time. Furthermore, this group of people is insular (prep school, Ivy League, DC) - they share common friends, histories, schools, etc.

Yes, and they're not rapey and assaulty with their friends that are girls; they go after the acquaintances that aren't their frat boy buddies' sisters.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if people surrounding Kavanaugh had some idea about his drinking history if nothing else. Furthermore tons of his information was suppressed and that wasn't done because the stuff was going to make him look good.

Zactly!

McConnell said from the beginning Kav was a bad choice. Blotus overruled, so Operation-Cover-Up-Hurry-Up began.

Turtle knew. Trump knew. Trump wants him bad, though, and Kav likely hates Trump and everything he stands for and likewise, but they need each other because... okay, I know you know the rest. :)

It took me a few threads.

It is important to note that for judicial nominees the check is much more subjective than substantive as it all centers on "THE QUESTION" Are you aware of anything that might embarrass the President of the United States if your nomination goes forward?”.

Yes! Exactly this! I had to get a security clearance once just to transport the luggage of the POTUS... Reagan. What a f'n nightmare. No worries, though. We got his stuff from one place to another without a SNAFU or FUBAR or incident or accident. :)

Sure they do the usual trawl, and check out any blips, but really the whole thing is guided by "the Question".

A deep dive into a lot of your spit! They don't care if you smoked MJ; they just care if you did it and lied about it. The issue is credibility, and Mr. Kavanaugh did not do himself any favors yesterday at all. He lied multiple times. You know it. I know it. He knows it. :)

I suspect that with the case of afluenza we have going on here he did not consider his HS antics to be anything out of the norm... as for him it was the norm.

Afluenza! Yes! Proud... not proud... to be from the state where that term originated. Exactly right too about it being a normal frat boy situation and quite the norm for the 80s. As for the security clearance/background check, they're not even concerned with the drinking and smoking as long as you own up to the doing of it. It's about credibility. If you smoked it or drank it, let them know and give them your urine sample. Mmmmmm… tasty! ;) *winks*

I would appreciate that and promise to do better on due diligence in the days ahead.

Yes. Many of them already have been. :)

Yeah, most of the other message boards I have seen are ranting about the FBI investigating Ford’s accusations, but they are off base because the FBI will be focused more on Kavanaugh’s responses than to her allegations.

Yes, sir. They've probably already determined Judge's employment dates at Safeway and will be able to narrow down the date of the alleged assault. With more questioning of Judge under POP CI/T1, they'll likely get the majority of their information from him. If he continues to maintain he doesn't remember, Kavanaugh is likely home free there. They'll then likely speak with as many of Kav's former classmates as they can. They're coming out of the woodwork too, and they're pissed.

I am not saying that they won’t be asking questions regarding Ford’s allegations, but other than Judge, there is no one who could confirm Ford’s claims.

Yes, sir, with the exception of Leland who doesn't remember but does say she believes Dr. Blasey Ford. Does anyone remember every party they went to in high school? I don't. I do remember one where I kicked a guy in the nuts in front of God and everybody, but don't ask me to give you all their names and a headcount of the party attendees. *laughs*

What the FBI will be focused on is whether Kavanaugh lied during the confirmation hearings. Was he a pass out drunk? Was the legal drinking age 18 when he was a senior in high school? What do friends remember Kavanaugh’s yearbook posts as meaning at the time? These are things the FBI can easily answer that will help determine whether he deserves being confirmed.

Bingo! I would wager he didn't provide the names of his college friends on his SF-86 who would say negative things about him, but now he doesn't have a choice, and they're coming out of the woodwork! :)

Awesome post!

But it was his claims of treating women with respect that was the biggest lie.

Yes. His credibility took a huge hit there. He lied under oath multiple times. He knows it too. He had all the demeanor of an elitist snob who was being held accountable for his actions for the first time in his entitled life. I've seen it before. I would wager you have too. I would also wager he gets his "drunk on" tonight -- hopefully in the privacy of his own home. He knows he lied under oath. He's not stupid, but he projects that air of entitlement that is so typical of his ilk. I'm surprised the Trumpers would want him on the SCOTUS since he's the living embodiment of everything they whine about... a corporate elitist snob who will put their fat cat donors before "we the People."

He claimed to always treat woman respectfully, but his yearbook postings proved that to be a lie.

I know, right!? Kavanaugh brought up Renate in his statement and then whined like a toddler when they asked a question about her. If that would have been me doing the questioning, I would have been like: "Calm down, Bartleby... you brought her up so zip your lip now, skippy!"

Friends have come forward willing to testify that he was often pass-out drunk when he partied. He claimed it was OK for him to drink as a senior because the drinking age was 18...except it wasn’t 18, it was 21... and despite this being pointed out multiple times, Kavanaugh still makes this false claim!

Yes, sir. He lied about this big time. He knows it too.

It is obvious that the Republicans want this “party before country” hack on the Supreme Court above all else! They prove themselves unfit for office more and more with every passing day!

Yes, sir. They held open a seat for almost a year and then whined about having to "slam bam" this guy onto the SCOTUS now. Stupid move too for Trump to claim "the FBI doesn't do this." Do you think his minions have figured out yet that Trump was lying about that? :)

Exactly.

I learned today FBI normally does not go back further than age 18 in their checks - presuming they're given no reason to do so. Also they start by talking to people provided by the candidate.

Hey! That is exactly correct. :)

That combination of factors has protected Kav up til now, and enabled him to pass previous screenings.

It's not at all difficult to understand that people don't provide names of people they assaulted. Most people don't include people they think will disparage them in any way. Some past employers won't divulge any information for fear of reprisal of their former employees, etc., etc.

When Kav was shortlisted Dr. Ford began her efforts to alert the committee. Had the Repubs actually cared about doing a real vetting they'd have had the FBI take a look back then.

I hate to sound like I'm siding with Kavanaugh, but DiFi kept Ford's name confidential until recently.

Instead they pushed to hurry Kav through hoping they could get him on the court before any of this came out, or gained enough momentum to affect their timeframe and their objective.

They could have already been done with this by now, for sure.

They may still slither him through but at least it's being made really difficult for them.

If he's going on the SCOTUS anyway, I personally would have much more preferred that they ramrod him on there and pissed off a whole lot of wimmin. Probably not a nice thing to say, but I'm simply being honest about it. :)

I am not saying that they won’t be asking questions regarding Ford’s allegations, but other than Judge, there is no one who could confirm Ford’s claims. And even if Judge remembers Kavanaugh attacking Ford, it doesn’t mean Kavanaugh is lying when he says he does not remember that ever happening.

What the FBI will be focused on is whether Kavanaugh lied during the confirmation hearings. Was he a pass out drunk? Was the legal drinking age 18 when he was a senior in high school? What do friends remember Kavanaugh’s yearbook posts as meaning at the time? These are things the FBI can easily answer that will help determine whether he deserves being confirmed.

Blotus orders the FBI inquiry with a 1-week limit. Avenatti's client may be appearing on TV this weekend.

I wonder if the FBI will question his client regarding Kavanaugh. The right-wing propaganda machine has sure gone into overdrive in mischaracterizing her statement to their gullible minions. They're like bleating sheeple overblowing what she said. She's just describing a typical elitist frat boy party scene where the punch is spiked without the girls' knowledge. Pretty common stuff in the 80s actually. Sad.

Really??

Yes, really.

So, Kavanaugh can give permission to delve into Mark Judge's life??

No, moron, they will speak with Mark Judge regarding Kavanaugh, and he will be able to testify as a confidential witness. They will likely speak to more of Kavanaugh's classmates under condition of anonymity.

To Ford's friend's life???

It's a suitability/background investigation. The FBI is not investigating Ford's friend's life at all. They are investigating Kavanaugh and Ford with their permission. Ford gave her permission under oath as well as submitted to a polygraph test. They will speak to Ford's friend Leland regarding Ford, and I would wager she will be glad to proffer her testimony freely, under penalty of perjury via T1 or T2 confidentiality.

You really are a sad simple creature, aren't you???

You really are a repetitive moron, for sure. Anything else you need to know, moron... just ask! :)

And here I thought ya were a playa... :D

He was said offended that after he was accused of drunkenly attacking a young woman in high school that they would dare ask him about his drinking habits. But it was his claims of treating women with respect that was the biggest lie. As Paul Waldman wrote in the WAPO,

In what may have been the most despicable moment of the entire day, Kavanaugh was questioned about how he and his buddies had claimed in their yearbook entries to be “Renate alumni,” referring to a girl at a nearby school — an obvious attempt at sexual boasting and slut shaming. He not only claimed ludicrously that the references were only there because they all valued her friendship so highly, but pretended to be outraged that a senator would even imply otherwise, posing as the gallant defender of her honor, the girl he and his friends set out to make an object of ridicule and humiliation.

He claimed to always treat woman respectfully, but his yearbook postings proved that to be a lie. Friends have come forward willing to testify that he was often pass-out drunk when he partied. He claimed it was OK for him to drink as a senior because the drinking age was 18...except it wasn’t 18, it was 21... and despite this being pointed out multiple times, Kavanaugh still makes this false claim!

It is obvious that the Republicans want this “party before country” hack on the Supreme Court above all else! They prove themselves unfit for office more and more with every passing day!

Of course there is no warrant required to OPEN an investigation moron...

Are you talking to yourself now? Okay. I'll wait until you're finished.

*elevator music*
*music from Jeopardy*

But do you honestly believe that the FBI is going to be able to delve into records and compel witness testimony and search locations WITHOUT a warrant???

It's a background check, not an investigation. All one needs is the permission of the subject in order to delve into their life and a request from a sponsoring agency or committee/POTUS to do so. One cannot secure federal employment without it.

That's why the Senators kept asking Kavanaugh if he'd be willing to submit to further background examination. All they need is his approval and request of his sponsoring agency to delve further into his life. The subject being investigated is the one who supplies the names, and it is fairly common that you wouldn't supply the name of someone who would disparage you since they're under penalty of perjury. The depths to which they delve into naturally depends on the position for which you are applying.

Now watch the Dems all start to cluck that the scope isn't going to be broad enough. It'll be broad enough to avert civil war, and that's what matters most right now.

And what makes it so sadly hilarious is there are actually people who think Avanetti and his children-drugged-and-gang raped-loving-parties bimbo has a SHRED of credibility....

That simply boggles the mind...

See, sunshine. Just like I told you... no warrant required.

Wonder if Judge will be a CI/T1 or CI/T2 designation?

There's a website called Car Gurus, where you shop to get a good deal on a used car. Av is a little like what the left would have bought if there were an Asshole Gurus website, and they put in the search term "trump like."

Sure.. Let the FBI investigate as long as there is no open-end clause and a definitive time limit....

What's waiting 7 days to shut the Dumbocrats up??

I mean, we already have Victoria's stipulation that she will support Kavanaugh's nomination if the FBI signs off on it..

Anyone else want to go on record???

Com'on! Don't be wimpy.. :D

that the investiation cover all current accusations.

All current CREDIBLE accusations..

As we have agreed, Sweathog's accusation is not credible..

Given that even the NY Grime passed on Ramirez's accusation, that would be deemed as NOT CREDIBLE either...

So, it's just the FORD accusation...

Which, logically, Ms Mitchell's actions will play prominently in the FBI investigation... :D

Yep.. I can definitely live with this.. :D

OK, OK.. I am liking this more and more...

Limit the investigation to ONLY Ford's allegation and no branching off to "or where ever it leads us"... And a hard and firm END date of next Friday...

OK, I can live with this.. If it will shut Demcorats up, I can live with this...

2 factors are still in play.. It's up to President Trump.. He's pragmatic and can see the logic..

And that's if the FBI actually NEEDS 7 days to investigate this fact-less claim...

So, stipulation time..

Who here, come next Friday will support Kavanaugh's nomination when the FBI signs off on it???

This could actually work to the GOP's benefit..

There can be NO CLAIM that the GOP didn't exhaust ALL requests by the nefarious and scheming Democrats...

So, who here will take a Sherman???

Anyone??? Anyone????

See?? They don't want to bring in Ramirez or Sweathog..

OK, so it's not perfect.. But if Grassley or President Trump goes along with it, I spose I can accept it to...

But when Kavanaugh clears this FBI hurdle.. AGAIN, Victoria will support Kavanaugh..

That alone is worth the price of admission.. :D

You should be happy, then, about a broad FBI investigation, particularly if the deal is, as Jeff Flake proposed as his pre-Comm confirmation vote condition, that the investiation cover all current accusations.

I don't think it will.. If there really is an FBI Investigation, Democrats will want to steer it away from the bullshit accusations of Ramirez and SweatHog...

If it would include the SweatHog bullshit, I would be all for an FBI investigation..

Wit were that to be true. Avenatti is like a fart in a phone booth... I'm afraid he's here to stay, like a wart subjected to over-the-counter medication or Trump-care... Take your pick.

LL&P

Grassley is the ONLY one who can call the FBI in. He has already said NO...

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Your Orange Worship can request the FBI for additional research into Kavanaugh's background. The reason this is preferable to correspondence to the Senate Judiciary Committee is that multiple witnesses are then free to speak to the FBI under condition of anonymity so that the subject of the investigation does not know which witness may have supplied any disparaging information that might defame the subject. That's how the truth is ferreted out. People are allowed to speak freely, however under oath, and without fear of reprisal.

I hear Mark Judge is agreeing to speak to the FBI under condition of anonymity. I would wager there will be other witnesses who will also do so. :)

On other issues, the President was meeting with the president of Chile. I just read a report on lithium reserves. Chile has just over half of the worldwide reserves of mine-able (as opposed to sea water extracted) Li.

Chile is thus important, since Chinese interests already have control over about have of the reserves under Chilean soil.

Lithium, of course, is important because (a) if electric vehicles are to become the majority, it will take more lithium than is currently identified in known reserves, and (b) because it shows that any move away from petroleum to electricity has to also be considered in terms of moving from one national foreign dependency to a different one.

What astonishes me is, Michale sees this as a win... it's a loss. The Dems have been bellowing for more investigation into this matter, had he been paying attention, Michale would have spotted that's all I, and others, have been saying here. Simply put, they didn't have the votes.

When Flake and the two key female R's met with Manchin last night, something was put on the rails. There was speculation that Joe was trading his "yes" to allow Murkowski to vote "no" because she has a singular problem with her key constituency.

I didn't believe that, and the only other thing that could be happening was to re-open an investigation. His demeanor during the Mitchell questioning was often literally close to furtive prayer. In light of all that hindsight, I believe this was the only moral thing a man of great conscious could conclude to do.

I'll be happy to if you make the same plea to Victoria to stop all the name-calling and personal attacks and attacks on my wife...…

Your name calling never stops. Like I said earlier. Do a search yesterday for "slaves" and "bigots" and you'll find your name calling never stops. While you're at it, do a search for "facts to support" where you troll near everyone's opinion posts ad nauseam. You've never stopped calling anyone names; you never do. You carry on and on, and if anyone says a tiny thing about your constant spamming and trolling, you start with the vulgar language and name calling. All I do is ask you why you talk about your family that way. The vulgar language and insulting your family is all your own doing.

Like I said. Do a search yesterday for slave, bigot, etc. You'll see. Your name calling never stops. You want unilateral name calling and hijacking posts and spamming everyone incessantly with the same drivel over and over. Anyone says anything back, you whine like a toddler and start talking about your home life. :)

She stops, so will I...

You never stop. Do a search yesterday. You want unilateral disarmament. You want to spew whatever while you whine about name calling. Do a search. :)

Hehehehehe That's why I consider myself SOOO LUCKY we don't have to deal with cable.. Just get a big video server and download your shows.. With the exception of Jaguar games on OTA, we haven't watched network TV in over a decade...

Build your own "tivo" and stock it with your shows and movies and you'll never see a commercial again.. :D

Did you catch the first episode of MANIFEST???

LOST, here we come.. :D

As Mike points out, the real question is, 'how will the Red State Democrats vote'? They must know that they'll be punished more by Democrats for defection on this vote, than they will be rewarded by Republicants.

Why, thank you... :D Nice ta know yer paying attention.. :D

I'll consider that an olive branch and respond accordingly... Only my wife and REALLY good friends call me "Mike"... :D

Yea, that IS the key.. There are at least 3 Dem In Red State YES votes.. Susan Collins is a YES vote.. Lisa Murkowski is a likely YES vote..

We'll know Tuesday...

I responded to a dial tone with, "you fucking what..hey come back here, you."

Don't need a warrant!!????

The Eff-Be-I does not need a warrant to do a background check. If you think they do, then your so-called LEO bona fides just took another huge hit.

And do you think THAT is going to happen!!!????

You're asking me? Why don't you just make up what I think and put words in my mouth like you usually do? Why not make up some fake quotes and make shit up on my behalf like your normal modus operandi?

The background check was already done, cunt...And the FBI added this information already...

Oh, you want to discuss this with your family now. Okay... fine with me! *laughs*

Gods, I have seen some dumb cunts in my day, but yer the dumbest....

If you're talking to your wife, she was dumb enough to marry you. If you're talking to your spawn... well, they do have your DNA... so there's that! :)

Sorry, I missed this thru all my gloating..

[159] Michale, come on now... your zealot still has a life-line.

Please.

I'll be happy to if you make the same plea to Victoria to stop all the name-calling and personal attacks and attacks on my wife......

What I do doesn't happen in a vacuum.. It's always someone else who starts it...

She stops, so will I...

It's THAT simple...

Ya'all lose.. :D

Grassley is the ONLY one who can call the FBI in. He has already said NO...

McConnell is the one who does things in the Senate. HE has already said that the vote is Tuesday...

Grassley and Flake are doing to the Dumbocrats exactly what Odumbo did to the GOP over TrainWreckCare.. Promise them something just to move forward on TrainWreckCare..

I honestly can't believe that Dumbocrats FELL for it!!

BBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh I am going to dine on this for a LONG time!!! :D

Can't Understand Normal Talk

Addendum: Unlikely, Kavanaugh is used goods now and Trump doesn't keep receipts.

Easier for Trump to vilify Kavanaugh, the committee and the Dems for this herculean catastrophe...

Damn that used car salesman that chases ambulances... His smugness will be unbearable.

LL&P

Cunt says waaa waaaa waaaa Michale is always kicking my ass Waaaa Waaaa Waaaaa

:D

BBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yea, that's what Dumbocrats said about Thomas..

"He will have a HUGE cloud over him!!"

Didn't happen..

Quit the fear mongering.. Dems lost... Sei fini...

Sen Flake talks to his colleguaes..

"Look.. These morons are going to argue their bullshit til the cows come home... Why don't I go to them, say I will propose the FBI look at things for 1 week, just to get them to shut up.. Then we get Kavanaugh out of committee. Mitch can do what he wants and I'll just tell the dumb morons on the other side of the aisle, 'well, I tried'..."

And the DUMBOCRATS FELL FOR IT!!!!

BBBWWWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

To be candid Kav was always a no for me, I just don't agree with many of his positions...but if he is cleared and gets voted on thats democracy.

The cunt who should just off herself so she won't be a burden on anyone anymore...

Could you please take your family problems up with them and stop boring those of us here on the board with it? I don't care to hear about your family, and I would wager no one else here does either. Your projection of your doublewide trailer living situation is boring.

But you'll always have my pity, though. *laughs* I can't help but laugh too... every time I look directly at my TV !!!!!

Stop with the 'cunt' stuff, it's un-called for, and quite frankly, beneath your intelligence. Once for effect, sure thing, twice...over-reach.

Please.

LL&P

Not that I expect this floor vote to go the same way. This time there are some true chickenshits over on the GOP side. And Flake is too Flake-y to depend on.

As Mike points out, the real question is, 'how will the Red State Democrats vote'? They must know that they'll be punished more by Democrats for defection on this vote, than they will be rewarded by Republicants.

The real question is the wimmen. How can Collins and Murkowski justify a 'yes' vote now? Recent polls show that their own constituents don't want Kavanaugh confirmed.

*Polishes crystal ball* huh---huh...

Kavanaugh will tearfully withdraw himself from the proceedings, not wanting any intrusion into his past that might involve the word... BOOGER

Water is wet. I'm 5-0. Michale is crying.

When in doubt, bet against Trump...He's 1-1 00,000,000,000,000. He's a gifted loser.

LL&bwahahaha:P

*laughs* ;)

Xananax girl NEVER has any facts to support...

NEVER.....

Bullshit.. You're just lying thru your tooth, now...

I can assure you, the Eff-Be-I doesn't need a warrant and never did.

BBBWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cunt, you DO realize that America is NOT a police state, right???

Don't need a warrant!!????

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They just need a request from the Senate Judiciary Committee or POTUS to reopen the background check on Kavanuagh.

And do you think THAT is going to happen!!!????

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's never been a trial; it's a background check and always has been.

The background check was already done, cunt...And the FBI added this information already...

You lose!!! :D

Gods, I have seen some dumb cunts in my day, but yer the dumbest....

Good heavens, is Flake not flaking?

Facts to support? *wink*

*laughs* ;)
