crazy thing is, they have no actual reason or evidence to impeach

but if they have the numbers, it won't matter

Book deals today are the new method of money laundering, similar to expensive collector art.

Dude it’s clown world

They don’t need evidence

yeah

I want to see these #metoo types sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress, perjury and defamation/libel

they need to, but won't

Kav should sue his accusers.

after he's confirmed...

The dems tactics are so radical and heartless that they’re pushing republicans in our direction

or before? not sure

Maybe more so if he’s not.

"powerful" people are paid ridiculously large amounts of money to "write a book", which ends up only making a tiny fraction of that amount in sales. But it doesn't matter, because very wealthy people give that money to the publishing company, which the publishing company gives to the "author" as part of the contract. Money laundering 101

Like H Clinton

So it's finally over.

I’m sure

When we get to install him?

@Clayton_H_ATX nobody has done that yet as far as I know but it has to happen soon or this will continue unmitigated. We need a case law precedent clearly showing that crying metoo will result in countersuit

Voting tomorrow

never thought of these crazy book deals like that 🤔

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL are you recently learning details of this stuff ?

They (Rs) better not screw this up.

i have no real confidence in the GOP

Would it surprise me? No

It's as obvious as the sun rises and sets each day. How else can publishing companies stay in business after so many massive failures of book sales? @Undercover Academic - IL

but this seems pretty obviously political and a lie

I never paid attention to the book sales

I was infuriated seeing conservatives talking about how “genuine” Ford looked and sounded.

@Undercover Academic - IL Seriously. Hillary got like a $30 million contract for her last book that, last I checked, barely made $10 million in sales.

I typically just roll my eyes at them @Phillip Wiglesworth - FL

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL not surprised

Her name was the first to my mind

Keep in mind all GOP politicians now have to worry about being #metoo'd

And she's writing another one...apparently? I can't wait to hear how big a contract that one is.

They can't afford that heat and have to confirm

If they don't it'll open up Pandora's box for all of them

@Undercover Academic - IL I believe the Senate will convict.

@Deleted User no way dude

Why not?

Because the Senate isn’t getting flipped blue

Not even all Dems are on board with impeaching

I’m saying the Republicans will convict.

No

We will see

I think it’s far more precarious than it looks.

Dude even Graham, the cuck, defended Kavanaugh

I’m putting it out there: I think the Senate will convict.

Graham was on fire.

I strongly disagree

@Undercover Academic - IL "Ghost writers" are the second clue. You _really_ think Hillary sat down at a computer, typewriter, or w/e and wrote a several hundred page book? Nope. Someone came in, took notes from her and got comments on stuff she wanted to talk about, advisors _advised_ on how to word it, and away they went

I could be wrong and you can make fun of me later.

i think the House would impeach, Senate would deny it.

Lol of course not

Dude if the house ever impeached, republicans would lose their shit

It's completely unregulated and unmonitored. Mega book deals are simply laundered money.

Honestly, impeachment proceedings with literally no evidence could be a good thing to galvanize the right for 2020

They wouldn't have the numbers to actually remove Trump or Kavanaugh from office

I feel so bad for kavanaugh. But did anyone cat h who advised Ford to use the Katz firm?

Some fellow white ?

"Impeach Fotey Fyve!" 👩🏿

Her lawyer to her right looked like such a rabbi

European style socialist

Of course it was. Feinstein. And ohh yeah, they pulled that guy straight outta synagogue

So the probability that this whole thing originating from the tribe is off the charts.

i really hope he's confirmed...he is going to be relentless against the left after this character assassination.

@Jacob I don't think Jeff will Flake, and if so Kavanaugh will still probably be confirmed. There are Dems that are actually really under pressure to confirm. Plus 50 senators plus Pence is enough

Why would Democrats vote for him?

If this doesnt bring him to our side (or possibly farther) I'll be shocked

This is such a hard choice. I don't wanna miss out on those prediction market gains, but I'm also not confident that he will be confirmed.

I'd say chances are he will.

@Jacob a lot of Dem senators up for reelection in deep red States that Trump won by huge (yuge) margins

Heidi heitkamp

Manchin

Jones

There's a few others

Good point

There's just too much against the narrative. He has a calendar for that exact time for Christ's sake.

Another point to consider is that Jeff Flake is not up for reelecation, so he doesn't really care

Also murkowski has basically said in very politically correctese that she will support, also collins

Source?

Or, what was the quote, if you remember?

Times did a piece on Murkowski a few days ago. You have to read through their BS and just read the quote of her literal words

@Jacob https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/25/us/politics/lisa-murkowski-brett-kavanaugh.html

Read the quotes directly and ignore the interpretation of the NYT

Why the hell does Alaska have such a moderate senator?

the big city?

It's exactly the words carefully chosen by someone who wants to do some women respecting but has no problems confirming Kavanaugh so long as he doesn't blow up

Alaska isn't as conservative as you think. It's only like 60% white

@Asatru Artist - MD Isn't their "big" city not really a big city?

Kind of a "fellow big city", you could say

big enough to control the state still i would think

That's not what I meant

Kavabrah is a shoe in.

Of course in such a barren state, the biggest city is big enough to control the state. But is it big enough to be soyboy central?

@TMatthews That explanation makes more sense to me tbh

I imagine all the Eskimos up there aren't too big on free markets

Wiki says Alaska is 66% white, 14% native, 5% Asian, 3+% black.

wow

3% black is a lot
