KavaNaw on Fox

I refused to watch the KaFoxNaugh interview, but heard that he CLAIMS the drinking age was waived for high school seniors in 1982 Maryland...
BIH, where?
You KNOW that's a lie. Perhaps for 18-year-old ACTIVE MILITARY (as is sometimes the case), but CERTAINLY not for privileged high school preppers.
So here we have a sitting judge... lying on national television... ABOUT THE LAW... to cover his underage drinking (100 Kegs or BUST!)... which was, by definition, ILLEGAL (if not widely prosecuted).
I don't hold underage drinking against him. Frankly, I don't hold any other youthful flirtations with intoxicants against him either... But to tell such an easily disprovable lie... In the midst of a whirlwind where CREDIBILITY is the coin of the realm.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BRETT?
He's literally got Yale roommates and acquaintances calling him out on his BS... and newsflash, Yale freshmen (who were 18 in 1982) were STILL underage in 1983... and 84.
Is lying about your drinking habits a crime? Nope. But when you're applying for a lifetime position on LITERALLY the most powerful court of the (formerly) most prestigious country in the world, one has to expect that you can comport yourself better than this.
He is a SHAMEFUL liar. The credibility of the accusers is spotless by comparison. At least THEY had the presence of mind to admit the gaps in their narratives and recognize how it might cast doubt.
Brett, on the other hand, seems hell bent on lying his way through the process. He has NOT conducted himself as a person of integrity. His lies before the Senate in 2006, and his lies to the committee AND the national press during this confirmation are pathetic and disgusting.
C'mon, Thursday. (and we need receipts, Avenatti...)

The Two Parties are NOT the same.

Thinking about the differences between the Dems and the Trump. Trump is promising "America First" jingoism without delivering anything but racism, while riding the economic tide of his predecessor. Consider what the Dems have been DEMANDED to fix. 1) Healthcare for all Americans 2) Student loan relief 3) A workable immigration solution 4) $15 min. wage and/or guaranteed income 5) Incremental gun regulation 6) Protecting the environment 7) Iran nuclear treaty 8) Thwarting Russian election interference 9) Reparations 10) Lowering taxes for middle class 11) Raising taxes for the 1% 12) Improving K-12 education 13) Rolling back Citizens United 14) Protecting Roe v. Wade 15) A satisfying DC Cinematic Universe (why not?) It's perfectly fine to be in your feelings if you are upset that this country is so f*cked that your particular issue is not being trumpeted by all (or any) of the Democratic primary candidates. It's even OK if you feel that the cur...

Ashley Todd

Y'all know the story by now. White, female McCain phonebanker, Ashley Todd, leaves Texas to venture North to support her candidate. After a stint in New York, she ends up in Pittsburgh until Thursday, when she lost her effing mind and became Susan Smith Part Deux . The McCain campaign can hardly be blamed for this girl's actions. However, they need to be questioned on their response. Within hours of the incendiary allegations, two things happened. McCain and Palin called Ashley Todd. A press flack from McCain's Pennsylvania operation started pushing the story and adding salacious details. Consider what was at stake here. In a campaign environment already marked with strained racial tensions, Todd's story was potenitally explosive. It would have made a lot more sense to issue a generic statement (like Obama's campaign did). Instead, McCain and Palin lent legitimacy to the allegations (at least for a few hours) by calling her. They vetted Todd's story abou...

Missy DID HER THANG!

So it's a MAJOR night for some of my faves. Missy. DID. the DAMN. THANG. Side note: Describe J Lo's performance from last year. Can't do it? Thass what I thought. NikkiFree Wiggins  said she will have floor seats if Missy goes on tour. Hell, I wanna be the dude pulling her off stage on the wheeled transport for costume changes. Note to camera operators. When you have a BUILDING FULL of people singing Missy lyrics word for word, DO NOT WASTE CUTS to Taylor Swift's poseur azz shimmying her narrow shoulders in a jacket designed to be editorial. Ma'am, you don't deserve to be featured if you're not a fan. And certainly not multiple times. And CERTAINLYcertainly not in an extended take that took precious seconds from my Missy stanning during Lose Control. Also: Put your tongue back in your mouf, Swift. Back to Missy... Am I the only one who thought that they built the entire VMA set specifically to highlight Missy? That was DAMN-ed impressive. FRfr. I m...
