I watched the ceremonial swearing in of Justice Kavanaugh last evening.
When it concluded I continued watching Chris Matthews and his liberal
"panel" (MSNBC) go apocalyptic, especially about Trump's apology to
Kavanaugh and his family for having to endure what they went through
and finishing with, "Sir, you were found innocent".

I thought Matthews's head was going to explode along with Eugene
Robinson's.Â* They were attacking Trump with everything they had.

Obviously they totally missed a critical part.Â* Trump's comments
were written by a speechwriter.Â* He was reading them from a teleprompter
displayed on two large monitors in the back of the room.Â* There is no
question that his comments were specifically intended to deliver a
political punch in the nose to the Democrats who had found Kavanaugh
guilty with no collaborating evidence.

Well done.


It's been sad to watch your devolution into a complete Trump fanboy.
Anyone with a reasonable sense of decency recognizes Trump as the worst
human being to ever occupy the Oval Office.

Kavanaugh wasn't found innocent. There was no trial. There wasn't even a
decent investigation of the charges against him. And it doesn't matter
who wrote Trump's little speech because Trump delivered it, and that
makes it Trump's words.

If the Dems take the House, there will be serious and substantial
investigations of Trump and his gang of criminal cronies, and that
includes Kavanaugh. There's plenty of evidence Kavanaugh had a habit of
lying to Congress recently and in the distant past, and who really knows
what might turn up with a serious investigation of the sexual predator
charges against him.

I have to admit, though, it is funny to see a sexual predator like Trump
defending another sexual predator like Kavanaugh.

Too bad all of these investigations are coming up dry isn't it?
We have proof Donald had consensual relations with a number of high
profile women and that some were paid handsomely for it but the
predator claims seem to fade away for a lack of proof, just like
Kavanaugh. I understand you never heard an allegation against a
republican that you did not believe and democrats can do no wrong but
that only demonstrates your prejudice.


What investigations? There was a lip service investigation into
Kavanaugh's attempted rape and other misbehaviors, but nothing
substantial. Oh, wait, you think the FBI pseudo-investigation of
Kavanaugh directed by the White House and Repubs in the Senate was an
investigation... Yeah, just like the House investigation into Trump's
misdeeds with the Russians was an investigation. Right. Got it.

What would you have them do? They interviewed a dozen people who were
supposed to be able to shed some light on this and to a person the
people said they never saw anything like that take place and they
never heard about it.
I suppose they could try to recreate the seance where Ford dredged up
this repressed memory but I am not sure it has any evidentiary value.

As for the Russians, are you now saying Mueller is another Trump
lackey? A week or two ago you were saying he had all of the evidence
he needed to "nail" Trump. He certainly has't hinted at any so far. He
has managed to do some work for the IRS and catch some tax fraud by 3d
parties and they have set up some very good perjury traps to try to
find cooperators. Still no smoking guns.
The idea that this is anything like Watergate is ridiculous. Within
days they had direct links between Watergate burglars and Nixon. They
also had a slam dunk crime to lever off of. In this case Zuckerberg
has more liability than anyone in the White House because he monetized
the meddling.
