    Murkowski changed her vote to present. Watch CNN or Google it.
    There is no such thing as an unknown Senator.

    I think it’s hilarious - heavy drinking in college having an affect on someone 35 years later.
    Let’s fire all professionals who were heavy drinkers during their college years! All of them!

    No, he had a deal with a Senator who voted "No" on Kavanaugh. I can't remember who it was. It was a woman. She voted "No". But, after her vote, she told the Senate that the senator who was attending his daughter's wedding would have voted "Yes", so she withdrew her vote of "No". Her vote officially goes as "Present". That's why the 50-48 vote. If the senator who was at his daughter's wedding had been there, he would have voted "Yes", and the other senator would have voted "No", and the final tally would have been 51-49.

    I really take umbridge with anyone trying to falsely or ignorantly equate Statin, Beria or any of the terrorism that Russia vested on it's neighbors and occupied lands with the USA. Both of my grandfathers were considered enemies of Russia-Stalin -Communism and they ended up in Siberia. My father was targeted also but the Nazis got him before the Russians did. So I know very well of the evils of Stalin-Russians-Communists believe me there is absolutely nothing in this country that comes even within 1000 light years of what Stalin-Russians-Communists did to their neighbors and those that they invaded. When you take such ignorant comparisons you do a great disservice to the millions and millions of victims of Russian-Stalin -Communist atrocities.

    PS One of my grandfather did not survive Siberia, my dad obviously survived thecNazi camps since Inwas born after WWII.

    They don't get the Constitution and the laws in America that say "Innocent until proven guilty". Allegations leveled at Conservatives are supposed to be unquestioningly obeyed without any proof while overwelming proof against a Democrat is to be discarded. Double standards. Hypocrisy.

    Party > Country for these far left nuts. It's a disgusting stain on our country. The American people took a huge step forward today. Their tyranny will no longer be tolerated.

    But you're okay with the Left employing the same tactics here in America.

    Spare me your "umbridge"...

    The only thing that you can count on is that as stupid as the Republican Party gets, the Democrats will match them ... we need new parties in this country.

    I will take as much umbridge as I want .. where did I ever say that it would be ok for anyone to employ Stalinist Russian tactics here? You know that I never said that. I have not seen any Stalinistbtactics employed here by Americans and if you want to make thatvacchsation against our fellow American you need to shows proof. All you have is fantasy and opinion of Stalinist tactics here no proof.

    You said the DNC is cutting orders to ANTIFA. That would be against the law, so show proof.

    Yea that means it was great back then, since I was never shot by police. I guess the countless other who were don't matter in your BS world.

    Of course it's better than when folks were being lynched and those responsible for the lynching were never brought to the Bar of Justice.

    I know it's easy for you to run off at the mouth about it since you really don't have a clue.

    You just left the Trump off. How many black folks have stopped seeking employment during this period.

    Trump had another incredible week.

    Trump’s Remarkable Week.

    In just the last seven days:

    TRADE: The Trump administration announced it had reached an agreement with both Mexico and Canada to revise and rebrand the North America Free Trade Agreement as the United States Mexico Canada Agreement. This fulfills one of President Trump’s key pledges on the campaign trail while benefiting constituencies in important states such as Michigan (autos) and Wisconsin and Minnesota (dairy). Trump also renegotiated the Korea Free Trade Agreement and has made progress with the Europeans as well as the Japanese.

    ECONOMY: The Trump Bump continues, with Friday bringing news that unemployment has reached its lowest level since 1969. Consumer confidence is high, and data from the manufacturing and service sectors indicate continued growth.

    JUDGES: Kavanaugh’s elevation secures a five-vote majority of originalist and textualist judges on the high court for the first time in modern memory. Such a transformation of the federal judiciary has been a goal of Republican presidents since Ronald Reagan. The fact that it will be Donald J. Trump who will cement this victory is no small feat. It may turn out to be his greatest and longest-lasting achievement.

    FOREIGN POLICY: President Trump is slowly and steadily re-orienting U.S. foreign policy to face the central challenge of the twenty-first century: the rise of China to great power status. Beginning with the national security strategy released at the end of 2017, and continuing through today’s announcement of a landmark review of the defense industrial base, Trump has accomplished the “pivot to Asia” that the Obama administration so often talked about.​

    Yeah, and we all know what happened to Che Guevara.... As far as people like Che and other 'revolutionaries', who think that guilt does not to be PROVEN, and that people can and should be executed on unproven WHIM -- we've got a whole hell of a lot more ammunition waiting for them, too!

    This horrific debacle with radical Democrats has been useful in one way... now we know EXACTLY who these people are, and EXACTLY what they believe in, and aspire to. It is beneficial, if often disappointing, to have an enlarged, more accurate understanding of who and WHAT your enemies are.

    They've begun to taunt the rest of us by squalling that, "November is coming!". Yes, Democrats, November is coming. We on the Right are very well aware of you, and the dirty crap you are very willing to pull now, and we will meet you then....
