A porn lawyer? He represented someone who was threatened by trump. Do you have an issue with someone's profession? Go get a damn job yourself man.

This could be used for either good or completely catastrophic purposes.

Gene editing could make wild populations crash within 7-11 generations. First tested on captive mosquitoes, but who knows what could be next....

Who else would know women that are willing to come forward and tell the truth than a porn lawyer? It makes perfect sense.

The policewoman who killed the black guy in his own appartment has been fired

So, if one day she wants to kill another black man in his appartment, she will have to do it as a civilian

Brett Kavanaugh: Deciding against women's right to choose since he was 17!

[Aeson]

Well if their stated intent is to have a bunch if men dictating what women can do with their bodies, then Brett is sounding more and more like the guy for the job!

[Giancarlo]

Oh but there's more... including a gang-rape accusation that is coming to surface (which would be the third accusation and could have more than one victim). Where is Kidiot Maximus now?

This is all imploding... and just in time for the midterms. Kavanaugh has imploded this last week. Republicans can still get him in, but they'll be damned if they do, damned if they don't. The damage has already been done.

This should start hitting Trump's approval ratings even further now... FiveThirtyEight has kept him low. Be wary of RealClearPolitics... they don't seem to be reporting all the polls being released recently.

Brett Kavanaugh: Second allegation made against court nominee

A second woman has come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against President Donald Trump's US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Deborah Ramirez, a Yale university classmate of the judge, detailed the alleged incident to the New Yorker.

She alleges Mr Kavanaugh exposed his genitals at a dormitory party and thrust them in her face, causing physical contact without consent.

The judge has denied both allegations, labelling the latest "a smear".

Professor Christine Blasey Ford, who last week came forward as the woman alleging Mr Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in 1982, has agreed to testify about the allegation at a Senate committee hearing on Thursday.

The choice of a new justice for the Supreme Court is pivotal, as it often gives the final word on highly contentious laws, with an immense impact on US public life. What is he accused of?


Ms Ramirez alleges the incident occurred when she was a freshman at Yale University alongside Mr Kavanaugh during the 1983-4 academic year.

She says they were both taking part in a drinking game at a dormitory party where people sat in a circle and selected others to drink.

She says at one point, a plastic penis was pointed in her direction by one man, and later another exposed himself directly.

"I remember a penis being in front of my face," she said. "I knew that's not what I wanted, even in that state of mind."

Ms Ramirez said she was mocked and taunted when she remarked it wasn't real, and then ended up touching the genitals while attempting to push the man away.

"I wasn't going to touch a penis until I was married," she said, referring to her devout Catholic upbringing. "I was embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated."

She says she remembers Mr Kavanaugh standing to her right and laughing, pulling up his pants.

The article says the 53-year-old acknowledges gaps in her memory caused by alcohol that night, which is said to have made her hesitant to come forward when contacted.

One for the Kidiot:

https://www.salon.com/2018/09/21/dem...nc-poll-finds/

A republican pollster has stated that a majority of voters would back a candidate picked by Nancy Pelosi over Donald Trump (50-45%).

In other words according to this republican funded pollster, Nancy Pelosi is more popular than Donald Trump by a decent margin.

Again, this is a republican pollster with a oversampling of republicans.

John Kass is a douche. As a Tribune subscriber, I have to look at his thought farts on a daily basis.
It's a travesty that they give this guy page 3.
