US Politics, October 2018: next week will be even longer

he was a legacy: His grandfather, Everett Edward Kavanaugh, also went to Yale for undergrad, as this yearbook shows.

So Trump just went on about having seen some unnamed Democratic Senator in compromising situations and seemed to be threatening to reveal it if this person keeps going after Kavanaugh.

there's no way he's thinking about anyone in particular here is there

or does he think Al Franken is still in the Senate??

10-d chess, publicly threatening blackmail

it was Teddy Kennedy

Trump to female reporter: "I know you're not thinking, you never do."

Trump: "She's shocked I picked her, she's in a state of shock."
Vega: I'm not, thank you Mr. President.
Trump: "I know you're not thinking, you never do."
Vega: "I'm sorry?"
Trump: "Go ahead" pic.twitter.com/hhfFHDNSXk

WTF? how do i get me some press credentials so i can be the only fucker that calls him on his bullshit crap in person.Like how has not one reported said " Kindly Fuck off Mr President " on live tv yet ?

because the chud hordes would immediately start harassing them out of a job and nobody needs that headache

how do i get me some press credentials

i think you just have to wear a lanyard with a little homemade badge that says "christian conservative news channel" or something similar

maybe trump is getting a dem senator confused with whatever he's got on lindsay graham

well there's Menendez and the underage hookers story

it's hillary clinton

maybe Trump is just saying whatever nonsense he thinks is expedient at the moment

“I was surprised at how vocal he was about the fact that he likes beer, and he’s had a little bit of difficulty, I mean he talked about things that happened when he drinks. This is not a man that said that he was perfect with respect to alcohol. I’m not a drinker and I can honestly say I never had a beer in my life. One of my only good traits. I don’t drink. I never had a glass of alcohol. I never had alcohol. For whatever reason. Can you imagine if I had? What a mess I would be. I would be the world’s worst. ”

maybe he would be a delightful drunk , couldnt be much worse imo

If i was the FBI and Trump had been acting to me the way he has been recently I might just go off and do a proper investigation just to spite him.

to his credit this is the only true thing he's ever said. we're making progress here, people. xp

It's fun to stay in the USMCA

Trump uh....otm?

everytime Trump hates on trudeau I can't help but think of the film Canadian Bacon

A crazy story:

I was surprised at how vocal he was about the fact that he likes beer, and he’s had a little bit of difficulty...

Did Bart really admit to a "little bit of difficulty?" Other than ralphing because, you know, jalapenos.

I think it's pretty clear that beer has at least belatedly caused him some difficulty.

so let's pretend "devil's triangle" is a drinking game. Well i don't remember anyone referencing drinking games in my HS yearbook but it they did i'm pretty certain that person would have had some nights they don't remember.

i'm still lmao at his suggestion that "devil's triangle" is "quarters, but with three beers in a triangle"

like

lmao

you fuckin clown

i wish they would have asked him for further clarification on the rules .

"Please demonstrate using this left over Bud Light from the Obamacare Repeal Party..."

i wish they would have asked him for further clarification on the rules .

what's the point, he doesn't know them

yeah it is so insane that a) he is getting away with making up a fake drinking game and b) he thinks "drinking game" is a good exonerating lie re: him being a problem drinker

so much of this "he was a football player at a prep school with a sterling reputation" stuff is just really so:

i have been thinking about how the american legal system is portrayed in the simpsons... a lot.... lately......

it's based on a series of blowjobs iirc

so angry

Cubs’ co-owners supporting Brett Kavanaugh through super PAC

The Ricketts family didn’t always get along with Trump. Trump tweeted in February 2016, “I hear the Rickets family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $’s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!” It’s all water under the bridge now, apparently.

This Fuckin' Guy...

one of the Ricketts looks like Ted Cruz, too

Imagine going through life like that...

I agree that it's unfair, but do they really have to take it out on the rest of us?

WASHINGTON — In the days leading up to a public allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself to a college classmate, the judge and his team were communicating behind the scenes with friends to refute the claim, according to text messages obtained by NBC News.

SO NOT GONNA.. oh wait

man those guys look so innocent

the peace sign is a nice touch

I assume that's Squeeeee

is that mike love in the cap?

Let's just say that Judge Brett Kavanaugh is the sort of person who would've been drinking buddies with guys named Squi and PJ.

Is that one guy wearing YAGA tee? I haven't thought about those in, like, 25 years!

I loved my YAGA caps in '93.

THEY'RE STILL GOING!: http://www.yagaclothing.com

And of course I now see why I saw so much of their stuff back then: They operate out of Galveston.

@SenSanders: If Brett Kavanaugh knew about Deborah Ramirez's allegation of sexual assault before the publication of the Sept. 23 New Yorker story, then he lied to Congress. That's a federal crime. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/mutual-friend-ramirez-kavanaugh-anxious-come-forward-evidence-n915566

I hope it works against him, but lol at the shocking news that Kavanaugh might have **lied**

Although their respective expressions of such may differ wildly, Treesh and Morbs are too pure for this world (I say with zero snark).

Perfect closing statement.

Mods...?
