“One of the most investigated we’ve seen, from the standpoint of investigating.”

Here we go and she hasn’t even read the report!

Her two hands are sore from wringing, so now she will be using both sides of her mouth for talking.

Sadly, I’d have to agree that the fix is in.

I don’t think voting for Kavanaugh helps any red state Dem as much as they think it does, but in Manchin’s case, if the GOP already has 50, he might not take the risk of finding out.

The FBI is now the corrupt, politicized organization Trump has been railing about since 2016.

Ironically, due to Trump.

Are the Democrats going to fight until the end? Or just say weak things like the report is “incomplete”?

Of course they didn’t do a thorough investigation. They didn’t want to gather facts, they wanted to put as thin a cover of veneer over this to make it look at is if there was a legitimate investigation without actually uncovering any contradictory or unflattering information. That was McGahn’s plan all along. A complete con game.

The WH and the Senate Repubs will now claim that a thorough investigation was undertaken and the Dems are “moving the goalposts” and going on a “fishing expedition.” Of course that’s not true, but as we’ve seen, the truth hardly matters.

This whole process has been a sham that has further degraded the institutions of democracy.

And, Susan Collins would first have to find the word shame in the dictionary in order to understand how it applies to her.

Wray and Rosenstein are friends and supporters of BK. They clearly did not recuse themselves, as having a friend on the SC is better than maintaining ethical standards.

At this point, the fight we are left with is Nov 6.

In Rosenstein’s case, I think a deal was struck that he would get Senate backing and protection from Trump so long as he helped the Kavanaugh process. In Wray’s case, Wray probably also got similar assurances.

“Thorough” investigations have neither artificial time limits nor artificial constraints on the breadth of the probe.

Collins always teases she’s going to do the right thing, like stopping those tax cuts and protecting Planned Parenthood. She’s weak, loves cultivating the notion she’s more independent than the other crazy Reeps. She, not unlike Lindsay, love the media attention.

Also, remember those promises McConnell gave her regarding healthcare to get her vote on the tax cuts? Well, she never got what she’d allegedly asked for in return and now says it’s no big deal.

She doesn’t seem very bright and can always be depended on to tease she has scruples. She doesn’t and peopleist stop holding their collective breaths she can ever be depended upon to do the right thing. She mostly liked McConnell’s so called “skinny repeal” of ACA, though only decided her vote in the final minutes. Again she later negated that vote by signing on to the tax cuts that did in fact essentially terminate funding for Planned Parenthood.

The only thorough investigation Collins can truly be sure of is the one she does hourly of her own colon. How she can breath with her head that far up her ass in an ongoing mystery that will likely never be solved.

Pffffffffffffffffffft. No surprise there.

You can drive a convoy through “It Appears To Be…”, but her bait is toxic.

Well, it seems like the Corporatists have secured a long-term victory. The erosion of our individual freedoms and consumer protections continues.

What a sad moment in history.
