Interesting little news bit: Kavanaugh disses Parkland father after hearing (Media Matters retweeted as it is pointing out: do you believe Lester Holt or do you believe your lying eyes?)

First case on the Kavanaugh docket - did Trump conspire with Russia via a former Justice's son to illegally install a new Justice? wonder if Kavanaugh will recuse. Also a question whether an appointment made under investigation leading to indictment and conviction is still valid?

My new profile: "dumb Southerner, probably mentally retarded". Thanks for showing me the way, DT - white non-supremacy is the new white. Looks like the GOP has a new angle for holding onto control: make fun of the rubes, the base!!! See y'all in November.
PS - bring that Kav guy, hear he's a-okay.

Queens. Projection, always projection.
Saw a clever Trump rally video clip the other day pointing out that the crowd noise turned to low mumbling and rustling sounds when he started on a side rant about how he has yuger elite *classier* status homes and brains and stuff than the supposed elites.
Which got me thinking: his strong skills at manipulation are only to a point. From years of trial and error, all in support of getting narcissistic ego strokes. Perhaps the one danger for those of us who'd like to see him gone from power is to attribute genius beyond that point. No, he is not Goebbels reincarnated, far from it.
Likewise, it is probably a big mistake to assign brilliance in money laundering and the like. If there is any, it comes from other parties involved. Even right now, supposed brilliance in hiring to handle things for him wisely is being proven wrong right before our eyes. In the past: Manafort lasted what, 5 months?.
Reminder to self: the bozo caricature is the most accurate one. He did not create or direct The Apprentice, he merely played a character in it. I am finding Our Cartoon President is a very helpful show to watch along these lines.

Bronx girl/transplanted cheesehead gets her revenge. Projection, it's always projection...
Fight between boroughs, Fort Apache comes out on top. And to think they used to try to make Flatbush seem edgy...

Why the fuck are "hypothetical" questions off-limits? Don't Justices spend a lot of time asking what-if hypotheticals to litigants to see if the law's deficient? Don't they ask these same kind of hypotheticals - ticking bomb, 1 million people can die, do we allow torture...? How the fuck can we evaluate a judge except to see how he/she responds to situations that aren't in case books, i.e. "hypotheticals"?
