"I Like Beer"-- The Kavanaugh Spectacle


 “I like beer... I still like beer.” - Brett Kavanaugh, Supreme Court nominee

Their expressions say it all:

He doesn't belong on the court.

Ford was incredibly credible:
Kavanaugh's famous calendar may actually point to his guilt.

Lindsay Graham goes on the attack to help ol' Brett.

If This Happened in the Obama administration, This Would Be the Biggest Scandal Ever

... instead, it's totally lost in the corrupt madness of the Trump administration: In Trump's first year, FISA court denied record number of surveillance orders More surveillance orders were denied during President Donald Trump's first year in office than in the court's history. Annual data published Wednesday by the US Courts shows that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Court last year denied 26 applications in full, and 50 applications in part.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is considering a set of proposals developed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a retired CIA officer — with assistance from Oliver North, a key figure in the Iran-Contra scandal — to provide CIA Director Mike Pompeo and the White House with a global, private spy network that would circumvent official U.S. intelligence agencies, according to several current and former U.S. intelligence officials and others familiar with the proposals.

The creation of such a program raises the possibility that the effort would be used to create an intelligence apparatus to justify the Trump administration’s political agenda. “Pompeo can’t trust the CIA bureaucracy, so we need to create this thing that reports just ...

The Most Irreversible Effect of Trump and the Modern GOP Is

the terrible damage they are doing to the planet's climate by not taking the threat seriously. A study recently published in the journal Nature brings grim news: anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD) has officially ended the era of stable climate that has made possible the development of modern civilization. The world we live in today, based on industrial-scale agriculture capable of feeding billions of people and sustaining these vast numbers of humans, is only possible within a stable climate paradigm. The recent study, "Reconciling divergent trends and millennial variations in Holocene temperatures," underscores this by showing that temperatures across North America and Europe have reached levels that are unprecedented over the last 11,000 years. (snip) The study also found that if the planet had not already been in the midst of a natural cooling phase when humans began warming it with our emissions, Earth's atmosphere would be nearly an additional 1°F warmer now ...
