THE KAVANAUGH EFFECT: Every senator in a red state who voted against Kavanaugh lost.

There are two Americas. They are growing further apart. One is mostly exurban/rural, white, non-college, highly religious. The other is suburban/urban, diverse, college educated, religiously plural or non-religious. There are still swing areas and seats. But we are two nations.

This is incredible. One of the jurors from Menendez's corruption trial is at his election night party:

Uh-oh, you white women are in biiiiiiig trouble now!

Menendez? wasn't he credibly accused of favoring child prostitutes at Pedo Island? why wasn't Menendez "Roy Moore"d?

Oh, right, they wouldn't have standards.

Keith Ellison won the race for Minnesota Attorney General. I guess that means violence against women is now condoned in the state of Minnesota. The Vikings will be so relieved - as will any visiting NFL teams.

As long as Democrats continue to endorse and celebrate people like Bill Clinton and Keith Ellison, they have zero credibility in insisting we "believe" all women.

With this vote, the Democrats' insistence we "believe all women" has been exposed as the blatant political ploy that it always was.

Look at the pictures of the candidates. Guess which one is the Democrat and which one is the Republican. Read the article to find out the answer.

Trump is on TV right now spinning the split decision in the election as a "tremendous success" for the Republicans. Um, Donald, it was pretty much a wash.

And the loss of the House was not a referendum on him because he didn't campaign for House candidates like he did for Senate candidates. It's not his fault. "I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn’t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!"

> Trump is on TV right now spinning the split
> decision in the election as a "tremendous success"
> for the Republicans.

For Trump:

* holding Senate allows him to appoint judges
* Democrat majority in the House won't accomplish anything
* any stasis can be blamed on Democrat obstruction
* better to have the House in the hands of the Democrats than in the hands of Never Trumpers
* most (all?) Republicans who lost were Never Trumpers

So not ideal, but not bad either.

In pure Postmodernist fashion, they double down on the stupidity:

A spokesman said: 'The animals are put together to challenge them like this to play with each other.

'It's a piece of enrichment for the animal kingdom. What happened Monday is really a one-time incident. The animals have always lived in good harmony with each other.

'It's always gone well. We decided years ago to put the wolves and brown bears together. That's good for the animals and we also see no reason to break them up now.'

You fail high school logic. I said nothing about what would happen to him if the Republicans lost the House.

Better to deal with enemies than with traitors.

Trump is far more conservative than you.

Subpoenas aren't going to win 2020 for the Democrats.

Besides, Holder shows that contempt of Congress has little impact on one's career.

"So today we wake up to a Republican Party that is decidedly more Trumpian, having seen the elimination of its most moderate and Trump-critical members, and the support of those who embraced Trump emphatically on the campaign trail and in policy preferences."

"I spit on your dictionary"

I remember that one - the failed sequel to "I Spit On Your Grave", vilified for being too violent.

The second film was all about the grammar and ultimately cost the studio a fat stack of Benjamins, IIRC.

Trump asking Sessions to resign bothers me. I never bought into that "Trump=Hitler" nonsense. However, this move seems to indicate that Trump is unaware of (or has not accepted) the idea that the Justice Department is not the enforcer for presidential whims, that an Attorney General should retain some operational independence.

Sessions was not my favorite AG, but he brought some much-needed honesty and ethics to the office after Holder and Lynch soiled it.

The AG is an appointed person Conan. And I don't share your views on Sessions bringing honesty and ethics. His bringing back federal support of civil asset forfeiture was a big issue for me. Honestly he seems like a one trick person. Drugs, drugs, and more drugs are all he worries about. Everything else he doesn't appear to care about. Still, my biggest worry is how long it will take to get his replacement past the senate. Sessions may be acting AG for quite some time.

That was one reason of many why I labelled him, "not my favorite AG."

However, unlike Holder and Lynch, he seemed to be in the job to do the job, not to use it as a stepping stone to political celebrity.

Michael Whittaker is already Acting AG.

And the last election all but assured that Sessions' replacement will sail through the Senate.

That's Matthew Whittaker.

And I see another "Friday Night Massacre" attempt on the horizon. That's gonna be like catnip to the "Impeach Trump" crowd.

Same zookeeper, methinks.

Yes, but it was their release of "Paint Drying" as an appeal to teen audiences that pushed them into the arms of the Japanese.

> Trump is far more conservative

Casper the Friendly Ghost is your superior as a political observer.

You love saying these things in the shortest possible sentences without a lick of supporting evidence. Who on the surface of this planet could regard Trump as figure of conservative presence? Who ever did? Why are you so afraid to substantiate your ticky little utterances?

"Why are you so afraid to substantiate your ticky little utterances?"

Why is Trump your #1 subject, reducing you to pettiness and pouting?

To save myself the trouble, I cite others: What has Trump done to hurt you?

Be sure to suggest an alternative.

I saw the thing about Whittaker later today. And yep on the 'Massacre' thing. The Dems don't appear to have learned anything from the Kavanaugh stuff. So I'm expecting Mr K hearings part deu.

But with the Senate firmly on Trumps side the Impeach Trump folks can yell and scream all they want. It aint going to happen.

To some extent I'd love for Pelosi to focus the House on impeaching Trump. There is less call for it than with Clinton and I expect the same results at the ballot box after she tries. But for all her faults I doubt she is dumb enough to do that.

You don't want the Little Muffin to speak for himself? He doesn't want to speak for himself, either.
