Actually, that's a fair point. If you want to poke her for still getting all the advantages of being white and then also for claiming that he's Indian, that's fine by me. Whether Warren is deserving of scorn is not mutually inclusive to Trump being a lying sack of **** who couldn't be trusted to keep a promise to not light himself on fire.

You mean, the professor whose specialty is "tracking population migration via DNA analysis". Literally, someone whose job it is to see how populations move. https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2018/10/15/warren-addresses-native-american-issue/YEUaGzsefB0gPBe2AbmSVO/story.html So, when I respond to your question of "are you really this stupid?" I should really be asking you that. A big loudmouthed bully made a bet. Someone did what he asked. He responded like a mewling coward and reneged on a promise...again. Like when he repeatedly stiffed his contractors. He denied what he said on camera, despite the fact that there is literally a recording of it, like when he mocked a disabled person and then denied it. So it tells me a great deal when your response is "Well, she isn't AS Native as I think should count, so anything Trump says doesn't count"

I'm sorry, I'm sure that was funny, but I couldn't understand you over the incredible mental gymnastics people here are doing trying to work out how 45 isn't a lying POS, and that he totally didn't promise to make a donation, and how it's all really Warren's fault for complying his challenge. ? Or hell, maybe he's just senile.

Hey, she took the test! That means Trump will live up to his deal and donate a million dollars to charity, right? I mean, here is Fox News video of him saying it. Not some "liberal cabal", Fox News: Annnnnnd he won't. Here's him denying what he said on video. Again https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/411414-trump-denies-offering-1-million-for-warren-dna-test-even-though-he It is hilarious that people here believe this putz.

I'll be honest, that would be big

I heard someone on Philly radio say they would give a 5th. To that, I say "get the hell out" Shady is on the down side but he's easily the most explosive player we have on offense. You don't get better by trading star players for peanuts. We should know by now

I love Shady. He has been a delight to watch these past 3+ years. When my wife (the Eagles fan) called me to tell me Shady had been traded to the Bills she prefaced it by saying "Something terrible has happened" But if we can snag a 2nd and 3rd for him, and considering the money we save, I am for it. We are wasting him this year, and we can pick up someone serviceable in the 1st or 2nd next year.

I know it does. So I was a bit hesitant when I first heard. I mean, I disliked the choice because I find his ruling on contraceptives to be laughably stupid, but there was a grain of salt. And then two more, independent claims cane in. And then the FBI has not allowed to corroborate or disprove them. Then I saw this rambling incoherent mess of explanations. I'm sorry for you man, but at this point the way Kavanaugh handled it is indefensible. And yet....so many nutbags are intent on doing so.

You clearly sliding down Trumps. How is that working out for you? Source please

So...what *is* happening, since you claim to know? And if I am accused, I would want to clear my name. And I don't think I could look guiltier testifying if I had a death wish to be strapped to Ole Sparky So...you are saying that she wasn't grilled over her fear of flying? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/donald-trump-jr-mocks-christine-blasey-ford-twitter-selective-fear-of-flying-kavanaugh-hearing-today/ So, what you are saying is that you better trust the exploding, rambling, conspiracy spewing person who broke down crying over his accuser, who sat and took stupid questions because people were desperate to prove her wrong.

Did you actually check in? She was raked over the coals so hard she got grilled about her fear of flying. That's how far the Republican appointed lawyer had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find anything. In contrast, Kavanaugh looked like he had the fortitude of Nick the Squealer from the Simpson's. But somehow, he is the victim of a conspiracy so vast that we can't bother to investigate. ?

Jesus. I listened a bit to Kavanaugh. Between his pouting, the petulance, his random asides about spaghetti on ketchup and how he made varsity, refusing to answer questions and a desire to see his name cleared....but not actually let people investigate I don't think I could imagine a guiltier looking perp. How people here can defend him makes me fear for the future of the species.

I love how people get a massive stiffie on the idea to "go and declassify them" Do you honestly think that if they were of any use, we wouldn't have seen them declassified by now? Now many times has Nunes released stuff that was supposed to taint the entire investigation?

I don't think I have ever seen a player paid so much to do so little. This isn't even Haynesworth bust money, he continuously gets contracts to be meh and lose the job to the next guy.

I am a little surprised that I am not hearing more about Allen from the pundits. I mean, I know they have labelled him a bust and they are loath to move on from that, but he put together a far better game than Darnold or Rosen in a spectacular upset.

It wasn't perfect, and those illegal formation penalties certainly show it. But overall, this was a tremendous bounce back. His numbers would be even better if Benjamin and Foster didn't have a case of the dropsies. He managed the clock, he managed down and distance and he looked a lot more relaxed. I think we are going to keep seeing rookie mistakes all year, and gradual growth, and then I hope it's off to the races next year.

The thing is, I like the Big Nickel. But with our scheme, I have zero idea why we are going to a 3-3-5 when we are far better suited to a 4-2-5. I thought the whole point was to get Alexander out of SLB, and onto the line. You get a safety to pair off against TE and plug the run. We should have the personnel for it.

Well, I will owe up to one thing: it doesn't seem to be perjury, just intensely misleading. But as to the others: But in regards to prosecution of crimes, here is his law review article: http://www.minnesotalawreview.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Kavanaugh_MLR.pdf Here are the quotes from it. And here is the clip of him on C-Span explaining his argument in backing Catholic charites over providing birth control: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4747818/kavanaugh-calls-birth-control-abortion https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2018/09/06/brett-kavanaugh-supreme-court-confirmation-abortion-inducing-drugs/1217561002/

The man should be disqualified for a number of reasons. First and foremost his unfounded belief that a sitting president is immune from prosecution for any and all crimes. Close runners up are Perjuring himself under oath during his hearing, and his complete lack of understanding of the difference between birth control and abortion. So while I think that some healthy skepticism about the accusation of sexual assault is warranted, what the hell made people think he was a good choice to begin with?

He certainly has his issues. But to me, it seemed like when the coaches and the line gave him time to sling it, he did it with aplomb. I mean, holy hell, that bomb to Zay was underthrown, but let's appreciate the distance on that.

Well, they claimed to have checked that the authority was a member of the administration with some clout. If this person has a story in which they claim to be operating a shadow government, that's absolutely a story. It is their reputation and credibility on the line. So, assuming that they actually did verify the identity of the author, the Times is actively working as a free and independent press, which is what they are supposed to do. The question is the identity of the source and the veracity of what they say. I tend to believe it, as it tracks with what we've seen as outside observers: the biggest policy changes being deregulation and tax code, the orgasm inducers of the conservative wing. Everything else has pretty much ground itself out. The petty backstabbing and paranoia jives with what we heard in Fire and Fury and the Fear books. So either all these separate competing journalists all fabricated sources and documents to spin coorborating lies...or the dude who claimed to clean up 9/11 rubble personally while also watch Muslim in NJ celebrating is full of a metric ton of crap. Considering that their readership has been increasing...i am guessing no time soon. With two...i don't think you understand how journalism works. Or what complicity is. They would be complicit if they KILLED the story alerting people to this news. Publishing it has alerted people to a need to remedy the problem. Even progressives think it's dangerous to let those cowards be kleptocrats

Huh? If it's quality reporting, then how are they anything other than a responsible press?

That's my point. People are having it both ways. If it wasn't a legitimate threat to our Constitutional checks and balances, and raises the possibility that the POTUS is a borderline senile and easily manipulated man-child I would find it hilarious that the Deep State wasn't his political opponents or a secret cabal of intelligence officials but his reality show casting by hiring of petty, backstabbing sycophants out purely for their own gain. But it is, and I'm not laughing.

So, what I am hearing is that the Op-Ed simultaneously: A) completely made up by some rando at the "failing" NYT as part of the "lamestream media's" war on Trump, in spite of the fact that it meshes with numerous accounts of people who left. And B) Absolutely validates a Deep State conspiracy, probably done at Obama and/or Clinton's behest.

Ok, this might surprise some people: I think the author of the article is a coward. If you truly think that Trump is so unfit to run the country that you are actively undermining him, that you are working contrary to him to the point that you consider yourself a "Resistance" than what the hell are you doing? If there are so many of you, stand proudly and resign to tell your story. You could try to convince people to invoke the 25th Amendment which would place Pence in charge, and in spite of my feelings on the man, no one can deny that he is a bona fide social conservative. No, instead you have what you feel is an easily manipulated dupe and you are maximizing your opportunity. You can go do the things that you want to do, knowing that no one will be able to pin it on you and will blame Trump for anything unpopular. Once you leave, you can go make bank at a lobbying firm Of course, I think there is now ample evidence from multiple sources (Omorosa, Woodward's book, this Op-Ed) that the Trump White House is a dysfunctional mess, and that the man is especially inept, but that is nothing new.
