The threats against Susan Collins and her ability to not be bullied are something else, huh?

This is the most disgusting aspect to me. Lying about inside high school dumb jock jokes and drinking and yet somehow we are okay giving him a lifetime appointment. I do not agree with him politically but I would have had so much more respect if he said "Yeah Renate Alumni is exactly what it sounds like. I was a teenager with undeveloped executive functioning and know it was not appropriate to make those statements nor indicative of who I am now." Based on the testimony alone that cannot be corroborated he should get the nomination and in my opinion would have with out lying.

I know as you pointed out the toxicity of Capitol Hill this approach would've been polarizing there, but I have to believe that he would've been appointed and that it had the opportunity to have a galvanizing effect and not have the dividing effect that it will.

Well said, you might be right. If DC is going to start acting like adults again it has to start somewhere.

Honest question, do you think that can happen with trump in the WH?

His drinking was a gotcha question. The worst sneaky fucking kind. If he answered yes, he got black out drunk before, the next question is so you have no way of knowing you assaulted Ford or whoever else they want to throw forwards, because you've been blacked out before? We all know blackout drunk, doesn't equal sexual assault, otherwise many of us, myself included, should be in prison. But that's not how that would have went down. We're in a sad place, on both sides (probably been like this before my time too), where party matters over truth. The ends justify the means.

In regards to whoever is on the supreme court, if you don't make your rulings based on the constitution, you should not be there. Don't care what side you're on. The SC was never supposed to be politicized like it is now. Says a lot about the "leaders" we have voted into office.

You’re right about the gotcha aspect.

As for the politicization of the SC, I actually think that’s overblown by a) people’s fears over Roe v Wade and b) the media highlighting all the times a judge ruled in favor of one political mindset and failing to mention all the times he voted in favor of the other.

We’ve seen Roberts go in unexpected directions as a SC justice and he was supposedly one of the most conservative. I think their leanings are consequential, but they still stick to the interpretations of the written statutes and constitution.

Trump’s new loyalty test: Don’t make trade deal with China

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/trudeau-affirms-china-trade-aspirations-after-some-say-usmca-impedes-any-deal-1.4118165

Fucking Ruthless by Trump and Administration. Talk about cut throat...

The new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement allows any of the countries to withdraw from the deal on six-month's notice if one of the partners enters into a free trade agreement with a non-market economy -- language widely seen as referring to China

The USMCA also requires a member country to provide notice and information to the other two partners if it plans free trade talks with a "non-market" economy

The clause in the new agreement -- which still needs formal approval in all three countries -- gives the other partners a say in the text of such a deal.

Conservative MPs repeatedly referred to that clause as a "Trump veto" during question period, while trade experts remained divided on whether that was in fact the case



This is the type of deal Trump practice in private...just fucking ruthless.

The case against the President
Many of Trump's perceived achievements are hugely controversial, and his opponents will argue that they stain America's image, reverse a march toward human progress and justice, and will ultimately exert a price the nation will be paying for many years to come.
And Democrats carp that Trump is only building off the far more significant economic work of his predecessor Barack Obama in the wake of the Great Recession and argue that his tax cuts sharply worsened inequality and exploded budget deficits in a way that will haunt the economy for decades.
Trump's critics say his approach to the world threatens to buckle the international system of alliances and a rule-based trading system that made America the richest and most powerful nation in US history and a beacon of democracy.
They say his presidency is in fact most notable for a culture of corruption, falsehood and demagoguery.
There is a case to be made that Trump's constant twisting of truth, invention of false political realities and strategy of tearing at the country's racial, gender and societal divides in order to capture and wield power threaten the eternal values and institutions of the nation itself.
This week, the President stood accused of tax fraud after a New York Times investigation into his family finances in the 1990s. And, though special counsel Robert Mueller has gone quiet in election season, Trump's campaign is under investigation to see whether it conspired with a foreign power to win his election.

{cnn not getting it}

I said CNN was STARTING to get it. They aren't going to just roll over and start singing Alleluia, their readers would go ballistic. BUT my guess is that they have had more positive Trump pieces, and headlines the last few days then in the last two year. RCP economic polls, even CNN's all reflect greater than 50 approval for Trump's handling of the economy, and even general Trump approval numbers seem to have slowly climbing toward the 50-50 mark.
