From a post I saw on FB. Re: Collins hypocrisy on Kavanaugh / Franken

"Shame on you, Senator Susan Collins. Shame on your hypocrisy. You called on Al Franken to resign without the due process or presumption of innocence you claimed to be defending when you confirmed Kavanaugh. You had an opportunity to stand up and be a champion for the millions of women who are silenced. History will instead remember you for putting partisan politics over doing the right thing. History will remember you as a coward, and that’s the best you deserve. Shame on you, Senator Collins."

Sooner or later the FBI needs to be freed up to take a hard look at Kavanaugh

A full investigation once Dems have the power to put it into play. Look, the GOP did endless investigations into Hillary and came up with zero. Dems need to be playing the same game but for legitimate reasons. We can't ever forget what was done here to women who have suffered through any kind of sexual assault and how disrespectful Trump and the GOP have been. They are bullies and they need to pay for this sooner or later. Period!

Retired Rep judge flips on Kavanaugh over yearbook lies: 'If he'll deny that -- what won't he deny?'

Retired Republican Judge Robert S. Smith explained Thursday night that despite his admiration for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, he opposes the nominee’s appointment to the Supreme Court after seeing his Senate Judiciary Committee testimony last week.

In the hearing addressing an allegation of sexual assault made by Christine Balsey Ford, Kavanaugh launched into a fiery partisan screed, denouncing the Democratic Party and “the left.” He also engaged aggressively with the Democratic senators, interrupting them, shouting, and rudely questioning them in response to uncomfortable inquiries. He also on multiple occasions told falsehoods or outright lies.

“I was unhappy with his testimony,” said Smith on “The Beat w/ Ari Melber.” “I was particularly upset with the one that someone referred to earlier: The idea that you use a girl’s name with the word ‘alumnus’ as a caption to a group of football players, and he tried to sell the idea that this was a respectful display of platonic friendship. I just don’t buy it.”

He continued.”It’s upsetting because, it suggests that if he’ll deny that, what won’t he deny?”

To recap what we have learned this week

Trump has a tiny mushroom shaped "nubby" member and he has been supported and bailed out by his wealthy Daddy his entire life.
