Diamond_Dog's JournalTrump's response to this question just floored me
In Erie last night, a local reporter asked Dummy about the deep divisions in this country.
He replied that the Kavanaugh debacle has united the country! I kid you not!
How can this total loon be any more delusional. What an appalling total disgrace this ignoramus is.

"While the President admits to ongoing divides racially and economically, he also says he finds a silver lining on unity in one of the most unlikely and bitter of places - the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
“The battle has been won, and very rightly won, but that battle has been won. I really see a lot of people coming together and saying we don’t want to see that happen again. Democrats have come to me and said we don’t want to have that happen again,” Trump said."
*****well he's right about one thing .... Democrats don't want to see this EVER happen again!!!!

*********** Who are your favorites?
Happy Birthday, Jackson Browne
From Wiki:
Clyde Jackson Browne (born October 9, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who has sold over 18 million albums in the United States. Coming to prominence in the 1970s, Browne has written and recorded songs such as "These Days", "The Pretender", "Running on Empty", "Lawyers in Love", "Doctor My Eyes", "Take It Easy", "For a Rocker", and "Somebody's Baby". In 2004, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and given an honorary doctorate of music by Occidental College in Los Angeles, California. In 2015, Rolling Stone listed him as the 37th greatest songwriter of all time in its list of "100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time".
My own note: Browne has been involved in many social justice and environmental causes as well, including Farm Aid, Amnesty International, and March 1979, Browne joined with several musician friends to found the antinuclear organization Musicians United for Safe Energy.
Today John Lennon would have been 78.
A brilliant musician, peace activist, and great life taken away from us too soon from a crazed gunman.
From Wikipedia:
John Winston Ono Lennon[a] MBE (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980), an English singer, songwriter, and peace activist who co-founded the Beatles,[2] the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. He and fellow member Paul McCartney formed a much-celebrated songwriting partnership. Along with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, the group would ascend to worldwide fame during the 1960s.
He was born as John Winston Lennon in Liverpool, where he became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager. In 1957, he formed his first band, the Quarrymen, which evolved into the Beatles in 1960. Lennon began to record as a solo artist before the band's break-up in April 1970; two of those songs were "Give Peace a Chance" and "Instant Karma!" Lennon subsequently produced albums that included John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and songs such as "Working Class Hero", "Imagine" and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". After he married Yoko Ono in 1969, he added "Ono" as one of his middle names. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to raise his infant son Sean, but re-emerged with Ono in 1980 with the album Double Fantasy. He was shot and killed in the archway of his Manhattan apartment building three weeks after the album was released.
Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, writing, drawings, on film and in interviews. Controversial through his political and peace activism, he moved from London to Manhattan in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a lengthy attempt by the Nixon administration to deport him. Some of his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement and the larger counterculture.
By 2012, Lennon's solo album sales in the United States had exceeded 14 million units. He had 25 number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart as a writer, co-writer, or performer. In 2002, Lennon was voted eighth in a BBC poll of the 100 Greatest Britons and in 2008, Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer of all time. In 1987, he was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Lennon was twice posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: first in 1988 as a member of the Beatles and again in 1994 as a solo artist.[3]

When will this ugliness ever go away? 
How is it possible that
Flake sees "no corroboration" in the FBI report?
They talked to Judge, didn't they? What the hell did Judge tell them? "Golly gee, I don't remember anything like that"?
Did they not warn him it is a felony to lie to the FBI?
