So Chris Coons did all that for nothing. Republicans have made clear that they won’t actually investigate Kavanaugh, because if they did they couldn’t get him confirmed. They’re OK with that, having decided that the House is already lost but fighting for Kavanaugh will help the GOP’s chances of keeping the Senate. Expect the clamor over the sham investigation to grow louder, as more people like this guy come forward with tales of Beer-Breath Brett’s ugly drunken behavior.
The other prong of the Kavanaugh defense involves attacking the assault victim, which, let’s face it, is something Republicans love to do anyway. Even Grade-D shitbag Joseph di Genova, Salesianum alum and GOP bootlicker since the Clinton administration, made headlines by attacking Christine Blasey Ford:
“Quite frankly, her testimony the other day was far from credible. She’s a very, very disturbed woman with clear emotional and psychological problems. This is a 55-year-old adult who testified like an adolescent. Not a single corroborating detail.”
In fact, the whole Kavanaugh candidacy is a rank power play by the GOP, a test of how far they can ride the resentment train.
Trump humper Devin Nunes has been hiding a big secret for more than a decade: The family farm in California that he references incessantly was sold in 2006, and the rest of the family bought a new dairy farm in Iowa, which they apparently run with the help of a lot of immigrant labor. This can’t possibly help his re-election campaign.
A staffer for Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum was fired over some old tweets, including one in which he said Trump deserved to be executed. Which just goes to show that telling the truth can be fatal in politics.
