Safe at first. 😜
Congrats df! 👏🏾
HEY NO CUTS!!!
ok, 5 min later…..Never Mind!
Tsk,tsk. 😁
😄
Congrats {{{{{df}}}}}
Mr Avenatti is just too into himself, imho ….
Totally agree with you, he’s got a big ass ego !! Needs to stay in his lane.
Not for nothing, it is said that the most difficult thing in the world to do is to have sex with yourself. I think that Hatch, Grassley, and McConnell should try while getting directions from Graham. 🖕
If I were her, I would do this in a heartbeat if they ignore her and vote on Monday without her testimony.

Still can’t
Me too
Under the assumption that he has any…the word eunuch comes to mind.
come to think of it, he probably doesn’t. Eunuch it is.
🤣🤣🤣👍
And THEN go file charges with the Maryland AG
Telling, no?

We should all do this

Dont know what the GOP’s motto is but it should be = ‘For Russia With Love’. Isn’t it why they are trying to rush Kavanaugh? So that he can save their collective rear-ends at some point? They are all guilty of something, I am guessing.
Get rid of electronic voting system and the electoral college.
Good Morning!
TODers will remember that Mrs. Obama displayed Alma Thomas’ work in the White House.
Yay Elvin! 😄
So cool!
🚀 I wanna go too! 😫
Um, riiiiiiight, I think I’m going to sit this space trip out.
Aw man, woulda been fun! Guess I’d have to bring you back some moon rocks! 😎
Don’t get me wrong, I do want to go, but I just want them to get the kinks out before I jump on the spaceship.
I hear ya!
The Twitter TL was interesting in that the Gosar sibling misunderstood the use of “petty” as a compliment in current slang, and many people, including him, are missing the fact that Mr. Wesley is referring to the Dem opponent – not the siblings – as the petty one for employing this campaign strategy.
But I agree with another comment in the TL: The better term to use is “savage”. I love it!
I believe he did! He’s lucky he didn’t say anything even more conspiratorial.
“Indecisive” my foot! If this attempt at chaste well-meaning is from Grassley it is utter crock.
Grassley has never been PUSHIER and more FAKE about what should be an extensive FBI investigation background check, corroborating witnesses, etc, commensurate with an SC hearing. Grassley the bully and co-conspirator. This is a pathetic tweet written precisely for us
to read claiming he wants to “hear her”. In fact his buddies have already rushed to judgement with McConnell saying they will RAM Kavanaugh through no matter what. And this before Dr. Ford has spoken a word. This un-process is RIGGED before it starts. imo Grassley should be the focus here = stripped of his position on this committee.

WASHINGTON — A press adviser helping lead the Senate Judiciary Committee’s response to a sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has stepped down amid evidence he was fired from a previous political job in part because of a sexual harassment allegation against him.
Garrett Ventry, 29, who serves as a communications aide to the committee chaired by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, had been helping coordinate the majority party’s messaging in the wake of Christine Blasey Ford’s claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her 36 years ago at a high school party. In a response to NBC News, Ventry denied any past “allegations of misconduct.”
Oh look! THIS GUY!
THIS GUY. Optics are bad…forget the actual acts.

“Dr. Ford Found WHELAN Checking In to Her LInkedin before Her Name Went Public but After the White House Knew.” (dk)
GOP SC adviser Whelan was seeking information about Dr. Ford even before her name became public:
Linkedin allows some subscribers to see who views their pages and she saw that Whelan had already been snooping. She emailed an associate 90 minutes AFTER Wapo shared her name with the White House but hours BEFORE her story was out.
And weren’t half of them reached by phone with only two in fact supporting Kavanaugh?
One thousand women who attended Holton-Arms school signed a letter supporting Dr. Ford.
2 days ago.

Home and business owners who have been devastated by damage from Hurricane Florence are now facing another disaster: the costs of rebuilding.
According to an article in The New York Times, the costs to rebuild after the flood waters recede in the Carolinas and Virginia will be in the range of 20% to 40% higher because of Donald Trump’s trade war.
The Party of Sexual Assault must not be permitted to gag us, bind us, and screw us over.
Garret Ventry – spokesman for GOP on Kavanaugh and communications aide to Grassley, has stepped down due to previous sexual
harassment allegation.
STOPGOP.
Grassley and his men can’t even investigate the backgrounds of the people working for and with them. He’s got to go.
I guess it’s on. Not sure what day

A man with proper morals and convictions. I like it.
bravo, bravo. fantastikarola.
WHOA, this is likely a battle royale.
True … and same applies to every @GOP Senator ….

Wonder if this made him seem invincible enough to do this to her? And others?
There’s that. Everything they touch turns to shit
Stephen Colbert for the win:)
Is he writing a book? He missed color of underwear.
Any questions? Absolutely ANY fucking questions?
I’ve never trusted the KOCHs (since I discovered somewhere during PBO’s reign that they were paying universities to offer biased education). I find this 5 min segment with author Nancy MacLean very interesting,…. and somewhat scary. It points out, among other things, our susceptibility to Idiot-45’s and other GOP distractions while they are quietly implementing their – and the KOCHs’ long game behind the scenes. TODers really should watch it, and share.
well done VC thanks. Rolling Stone Mag has intrepidly written in-depth coverage about the KOCH brothers a few times. They seem to really want their white supremacist, Russian kleptocracy, tar sands. networking polluting pipelines all across America, greedy, anti-health care, Oil & fossil fuel anti-renewable, endangering, planet demising, truth free, zero government for the people, power mad, ethics-free, ruthless and heartless, Trump treason version of the world to take hold before they shuffle off. (Not human. Probably from Andromeda 8.)
People only a grandmother could love.
What a horrible travesty.
Six months. When will it stop?
She is legal and had to sue to get her child back.
And this is only ONE story among the countless others, I’m sure.
Thousands.
Gross racism and indifference to human suffering. U.S.A. back to WW2 only this time the ‘bad guys’ are little kids from Central America.
One day….if these private prisons are taking state cash they will be accountable to state law…right?

This whole thread is just nauseating.
How do you work legally without a green card? VICIOUS.
NO.
GOOD.
Good Evening TODville Community.
Congrats, DF on Your Au ⭐ Furst 😉
VC is in the House, I see 🙂 Hello VC.
This guy is so freakin’ ARROGANT.
And there are a whole helluva big bunch of them around. Guess it’s good to get some sunlight on as many of them as possible, but not good to witness it or hear about them much longer. Ugh.
Hello, Nena. I’m almost always in the house looking over your shoulders (when I’m not called in to work). 😉 These days though I find I have precious little to add to the discussion so I mostly just read.
You think? Only if they see him as areal liability now

She won. Yes!
🙄 I wonder why the reporter felt it necessary to add ‘assault from decades ago’. I guess maybe some reader (who’s been living under a rock) might think it happened yesterday.
That it to 60 Minutes because it will be watched nationwide. Oprah no longer does talk shows. The Cable shows are 2nd tier and most of the poor GOP won’t see it because FAKE News is 1st tier so everyone gets that nonsense.
Winning? Damn fools

🤔😮👀👀🙏
Michael Avenatti has been 98% with his predictions on Trump & Co
🤞🤞🤞
I don’t get it. Is he taking credit for Dr. Ford’s attorneys?
Nope, I took it that there just might be another shoe to drop.
Meaning not Just Dr Ford, there could be another person. That was my take on it.
Do you know what he means by “our media strategy”?
Nope.
That one I could not crack.
OK, thanks!
LOLz. Cruz probably went home and kissed himself in the mirror. Hahahaaaaa!!
Meta, where in the world did you find this? I absolutely love it. 🙂 This guy has so much energy and is so down to earth.
twitter giveth!!
I hope this mofo gets blasted out the door.
Everything Trump touches…
Exactly.
Soon to be going to jail, I hope!!
