Congrats No Child on your awesome fine Au ⭐
Thank you, NW.
Bring this from the last post.
NEW: A former schoolmate of Dr. Ford writes on social media that she recalls the alleged Kavanaugh assault incident being discussed at their school, but adds that she has no first-hand information to corroborate the accuser's claims. https://t.co/z3lJmHAj4W
Women have learned sooo perfectly to shut down and say nothing about every subtle and terrible kind of abuse. So imo when a woman decides after decades of putupandshutup speaks up for the good of the country and puts on the boxing gloves, we know she’s not playing that game any more. my love and thanks to you Christine.
Aloha desert flower 😊. I’m with you– polls had me convinced that Hill would win in a landslide. I’m not looking at the scoreboard till the game’s over any more.
PBO always said to keep our heads down and work, to ignore polls. We have seen that many of them have been wrong. The sole purpose is to suppress the vote, to bring about a feeling of helplessness and to convince us of the inevitability of the opponent winning. I live in a part of Fla. where Gillium was barely mentioned and he won the whole damn thing.
Keep posting on previous threads, while y’all are on a new one. Ha. This one’s worth a repeat, in my book:
Today, I am filing my organizational papers in a bid for local office in Loudoun County, Va. Loudoun deserves transparency in government, fully funded schools & smarter solutions to growth. It's time for a change. https://t.co/OutRrIf40K
.@PeteWilliamsNBC: note that Md has NO statute of limitations on sexual assault of a minor — and that no WH request is needed for FBI to investigate violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1512, which would necessarily lead to investigation of the assault to which the witness would testify. https://t.co/SyVIh4LjW2
GOP women are told what to do and must OBEY the GOP men. I hope they vote her OUT for good. She can’t be relied upon to protect healthcare or women who have been assaulted.
I think if she does not testify which I think she should NOT, it’s a total setup.
Maybe that was last week or Monday but today the GOP are going ahead with this loser Kavanhaugh. The DEMS need to make noise that they will have the MD AG to look into whether this sexual assault was a crime. Investigate everyone. If he is found to have committed a crime, he should step down as SCOTUS. This will be a black eye for the GOP and SCOTUS for a generation.
5. Kavanaugh is now a test case in whether this aristocracy — Georgetown Prep, Yale law, Chevy Chase — is in fact beyond reach of the rabble. And that outcome mattes as much to the conservative movement as any court case.
Flake needs to SHUT UP or STEP UP! Delete your account if all you can do is retweet sicko tweets and say “what a shame”. FLAKE is a FAKE! If he runs for President that should be his meme
I was thinking the same 0388jojo. Jeff Flake has no credibility. Collins and Murkoski can not be trusted either. They screwed everyone on those tax cuts.
He thinks people are stupid with short memories that by 2020. He will TRY to run unless Resident is impeached and Pence picks him as his VP, God forbid.
To forward their agenda, Republicans would accept a traitorous president who bragged on tape about sexually assaulting women, a Supreme Court justice accused of attempted rape, and a child predator as senator.
Never forget that. This is a party that deserves to go away.
Why do people leave their pets behind? Hope they get sent to other states for adoption. This family obviously did not want this dog. YOU CAN TAKE PETS TO SHELTERS NOW.
Dr. Ford needs to do an exclusive one-on-one interview on live TV tomorrow night. The first thing that she should say is that she accepts the Senate invitation, and she will be bringing witnesses with her to testify. Then she should tell her story, in uninterrupted vivid detail. The interviewer needs to be friendly but with journalistic weight. Maybe Rachel? Or someone more mainstream?
All the RWNJ’s on CNBC Financial show are touting how Resident has China in a corner they can’t impose that many tariffs on the US as we can on them, blah blah. Resident is winning, blah blah and all the while companies are looking for ways to work around it by moving their china factories to other countries.

It's disgusting to see paid ads across the country for KavaNOugh, starring dreamy-eyed women with the Stepford Wife look, talking about his integrity, while another woman fears for her family after coming forward with the story of his sexual abuse during her formative teen years.
I seriously don't recall seeing paid ads for a SCOTUS nominee before KavaNOugh. Are he and his "supporters" truly ADMITTING they see that role as a political office? Why is he RUNNING for the Supreme Court? We're not voting on it. And what is he hiding? cc @SenatorDurbin
I believe the John Tower hearings set the precedent here. New information was introduced late in the process that had not been uncovered in the FBI background check. The Chairman, Sam Nunn, immediately referred the matter to the FBI Director to reopen the back ground check.
I’ve spoken with guys who went to Georgetown prep high school in the early 1980’s with Kavanaugh (and Neil Gorsuch for that matter). There is no dispute that Kavanaugh, basketball captain and football player, was a partyer + drinker. Gorsuch never drank or partied. #Kavanaugh

“If Kavanaugh is innocent and he’s such a fine nominee for the Supreme Court, then why did the GOP refuse to release all the records and why are they in such a damn hurry to rush the result?”
Steven Beschloss’s profound question is begging for an answer from Senate Republicans. The so called “mainstream media” should be relentlessly asking this question to all the GOP Senators, but especially to the Chairman of the Senate Judicially Committee, Charles Grassley. and the other ten Republicans on the Committee.
The only compromised Supreme Court nomination I personally observed via CSPAN was Thomas. There were no TV ads w/ random women extolling his “virtues”. Now in my ad market am being inundated w/ Kavanaugh ads. When did a Supreme Court nomination become a political ad, and who’s footing that bill? And who thinks this is necessary? I honestly don’t think I saw any for Sotomayor or Kagan or Gorsuch. Which brings me to my QED (conclusion): GOP absolutely knows Kavanaugh is seriously compromised & flawed. And have known this from get-go.
This is SO FUNNY (can you tell I’m a “Jersey girl”?) …

Are those rhetorical questions? Booms…put good music on and don’t think about this…too taxing after awhile. Me…I’m going to sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night just to check and make sure that I’m still here (no lie) but sleep is necessary to fight on. Night all.
So I need some advice. My 26yr old D, lost her job July 23. She got a new job Aug 29th, sent her acceptance, Aug 30 and was to start Sept 12th. She received an email on the 11th saying that her background checks hadn’t come back, so she couldn’t start. As of today, Sept 19th, it still has not come back. My question is: is this normal? She got a dui (as a minor-6yrs ago) and was charged with a misdemeanor and has fulfilled all the requirements from that over the past 5 years in AZ and apparently the delay is from there. She’s had 3-4 background checks already and they’ve all come back clear, so what should she do? We are supporting her financially, but can’t do so indefinitely and so do you all think she should look elsewhere? The company is Integro (out of Boston), and her position will be Executive Assistant. They use “CareerBuilder” to run their background checks. I would love your thoughts on this. My hubby and I are going a little crazy… She has no healthcare 😦
Hope you don’t mind that I asked my husband… I’ve worked at the same place for 18 years and am kinda rusty with the hiring business:) He said he would call the background check place and ask… he also said that he thought she should keep looking for another job… just in case. She should also get a copy of her background check to make sure that it is correct…. which totally burns me in light of the morons in THIS administration…. some of whom are felons….Good luck!!
-so sorry Betsy it is such a headache and heartache for all of you. Looks like mistreatment but nobody in Personnel is answerable?
The irony and disgrace of an SC nominee’s background check and hundreds of thousands of documents being blocked his not lost here.
Hi Betsy, so sorry that your daughter did not research how long a dui stays on your record in AZ. According to my google search it only stays on your record for 5yrs. I don’t know if it will show up in a background check or not. Boston also has laws that ban asking about criminal background in the initial hiring process. Since she was offered the position and given a start date they did a background check. Was employment contingent on passing the background check? If it was she should have kept looking or accepted a different position. She should talk to the company’s HR department and explain her situation. State and Federal jobs do background checks but you start and if anything comes back wrong you can be let go for cause. Also she has a right to now what is holding up her background check and if that is the only thing then that’s nuts they won’t let her start. Unfortunately jobs are at-will and the employer is not held to the offer or start date. Maybe she can get a Starbucks job at least she will have medical and maybe they will keep her on part time. This really sucks, I am so sorry.
Arizona has some of the strictest DUI penalties on record books. A first-time offender can face up to ten days in jail with a year driver’s license suspension, among hundreds of dollars in fines and the mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device. A DUI charge will also remain on your record for five years. Feb 12, 2017
California’s is 10yrs and some other states is up to 12yrs.
DUI EXPUNGEMENT IN ARIZONA CAN GET A DUI OFF OF A BACKGROUND CHECK
After a DUI expungement in Arizona, the DUI should not appear on criminal background checks because it is a dismissed case. Most background check companies that are used by employers do not report cases that are dismissed because of state and federal regulations. Law such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) apply to background check companies that provide information for purposes of employment or tenant screening. The FCRA makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of a dismissed case.
The dui in AZ was considered a misdemeanor and she did spend 1 day in jail; she has met all the other conditions for her dui, the last one being this past summer (having a breathalyzer thingy on her steering wheel for 6 months, which she completed). She just was able to get her car registered as that was being held up by AZ, now it’s cleared. She’s already disclosed the dui to her new boss, he said it wasn’t a problem as long as it wasn’t a felony, which it wasn’t b/c of her underage. They classified it as a misdemeanor since it was .07, below the legal limit for someone 21 and over. Sigh. I’ll pass on your thoughts to her. Thanks.

@SenateGOP@ChuckGrassley's refusal to allow a proper FBI investigation of Kavanugh on the issue of sexual assault is PROOF that they don't believe HIM and his denials and instead are participating in a cover-up, which must also be investigated. @SenKamalaHarris@SenFeinstein
He may be correct but since Dr. Ford’s attorney has declined his help, he’s just adding to the pressure put on her now. He can have this conversation in private but he’s starting to look like another guy making demands upon her.
You know, I guess I’m just over the mansplaining we’ve been subjected to on this topic. It’s horrendous. I don’t think he’s evil but he is so aggressive about being in the spotlight and it’s not really the best thing right now when he’s dictating orders to another attorney for a client he’s never met or talked to about the case.
In the face of @realDonaldTrump's constant efforts to turn this into a tabloid story and not only do nothing to stop it but aid and abet and compound the damage to our democracy, connect the dots and do not let this get twisted by the @GOP@HouseGOP@SenateGOPhttps://t.co/oOHRpGjUPc

I hope the women of America (the WORLD) are done with all the mansplaining. We need to do things right, so we need to do them ourselves. So proud of all the women running for office to stand up for women and equality. I’m done with the bullshit. Been done.

I’ve been doing Resistbot messages, sometimes 2 or 3 a day, always one. Few minutes ago, I called Corker’s office. Tried DC first and it was busy. So called local office here in Knoxville. Knew a female would answer. She sounded young. I started off calm, telling her that usually I had my thoughts together before I called, sometimes even written notes. This time, no. The longer I talked, the more enraged I became. I ended by saying to her that if she has an ounce of respect for herself and fellow women, she better wake up and vote straight blue this fall!

So anyway in support of Dr. Ford a few days ago I told. That I was raped on my 16th birthday. By my first boyfriend. Never told anyone.
Especially not my brother. Or my Dad who might have lost it. I was protecting ALL of them. This has to change.

People think this can’t happen in California but it IS happening in LA county. Last day to register to vote is October 22. Please help spread the word.
They are showing themselves.
Morning everyone. I wonder if Michael Avenatti has reached out to her lawyers? Is that proper?
https://mobile.twitter.com/MichaelAvenatti/status/1042584123737432065
I think he’s correct
He may be correct but since Dr. Ford’s attorney has declined his help, he’s just adding to the pressure put on her now. He can have this conversation in private but he’s starting to look like another guy making demands upon her.
I didn’t see that her lawyers declined his assistance, so what you say I agree with
It’s in that thread.
I believed you:) Just didn’t read the whole thing
You know I’m always in the weeds!!
And it’s a good thing sometimes!!:) You get all the juicy bits that way:)
He may be right but at this point he’s starting to look like an ambulance chaser. He says Dr. Ford’s attorney has declined his assistance.
Agree, Meta. I think he needs to step away for a bit, at least off Teevee.
You know, I guess I’m just over the mansplaining we’ve been subjected to on this topic. It’s horrendous. I don’t think he’s evil but he is so aggressive about being in the spotlight and it’s not really the best thing right now when he’s dictating orders to another attorney for a client he’s never met or talked to about the case.
“…at this point he’s starting to look like an ambulance chaser.”
That’s exactly the way I feel about Michael Avenatti, Meta.
Sweet:) She’s lovely

3 mass shootings in 2 days. I just don’t have the words anymore. Vote out these enablers. Every last one.
Wow. You mean like the F.B.I. are still allowed by GOP to investigate?
Some day, we will get justice.
And we don’t think Putin is behind this reckless push to install Kavanaugh?
Excellent thread
👏. Thanks DF!
Senator Hirono has had enough:)
So the FBI could open an investigation on this alone probably. Saw her say this to RM last night and Rachel did a double take
imo he’d step down if Trump would let him.
I hope the women of America (the WORLD) are done with all the mansplaining. We need to do things right, so we need to do them ourselves. So proud of all the women running for office to stand up for women and equality. I’m done with the bullshit. Been done.
This
This is a BI_ASSED Investigation and if he THINKS women are going to fall for this B.S. he is one senile old fool!
Make sure your voter registration is in order….and register to vote NOW if you haven’t already.
I’m pretty sure Collins is a fraud, so there’s that
(So is Putin still showing off his military in the Bering Sea?)
Will the FBI JUST DO IT and investigate the Death Threats towards Dr. Ford? They don’t need the Dictraitor’s permission for that.
What’s HatchGrass covering up? Rich white boy Kavanaugh culture of booze, drugs, rape and harassment of young teenage girls?
GrassHatch = Two rich white guys breaking the law and trying to DICTATE the future of all who live in America. What is the penalty for that?
How Hell bent are WOMEN on stopping this nominee?
I’ve been doing Resistbot messages, sometimes 2 or 3 a day, always one. Few minutes ago, I called Corker’s office. Tried DC first and it was busy. So called local office here in Knoxville. Knew a female would answer. She sounded young. I started off calm, telling her that usually I had my thoughts together before I called, sometimes even written notes. This time, no. The longer I talked, the more enraged I became. I ended by saying to her that if she has an ounce of respect for herself and fellow women, she better wake up and vote straight blue this fall!
Doug Jones?
Doug Jones said yesterday ,,,he is a NO
What message is GrassHatchTrump sending to our young men? Rape is acceptable = NOT investigatable?
Hatch & Grassley are DUHHH COVERING UP for Trump.
Is this how GOP Congress declares the USA: A Dicktatorship?

So anyway in support of Dr. Ford a few days ago I told. That I was raped on my 16th birthday. By my first boyfriend. Never told anyone.
Especially not my brother. Or my Dad who might have lost it. I was protecting ALL of them. This has to change.
-Thank you Christine, TOD, NW.
