Like, I'm aware of how absolutely Steve Bannon-ian this sounds, but at what point do we get a Trumpet claiming to have been assaulted only to recant later to muddy the waters and further slide us into 1984and?

I just can't believe they continue to nominate people with this many damn skeletons in their closets.

That's not as fringe as Steve Bannon--I wouldn't be surprised if Rush Limbaugh wasn't saying that very thing right now.

Like after the Deepwater Horizon when he said it was probably done by environmentalists in super-deep-water submarines. Like being completely serious.

But seriously how many Yalies need to be emailing each other about "Merv the Perv"s shocking Supreme Court nomination before anyone decides there's no going back?

but they obv learned about the Ford allegations at some point in this process given that they had that letter signed by ~65 girls saying he was a good guy like 2 hours after the story broke even though he went to an all-boys school lol

i guess i'd be a little surprised if they knew all along that this was a dude who LOVES RAPE, but then again this is the Republican Party in 2018 so idk, have sorta lost the ability to be surprised by anything

I would say this would be a fair thing to be a little surprised by.

I'm *probably* leaning towards they're just insane and obtuse, but then again old boys' club gonna' old boys' club.

He might be the single greatest journalist alive. Followed closely by his coauthor Jane Mayer. Absolutely fearless reporting on deep corruption. The blackmail threats and harassment by R opps and spies must be enormous.

now we're going with the i couldn't have sexually assaulted a bunch of women bc through several years of college i was a weird incel dork who coped by getting blackout drunk on the reg, and for no reason at all i retained my calendars from 35 years ago that i dutifully signed "did not rape anyone" when i got home every night defense

bold strategy

even his college roommate has supposedly been saying yep he was a complete creep and all of these accusations make total sense lol

Graham and especially Flake and Corker are probably compromised, likely due to hacked e-mails.

In one of the more remarkable moments in the history of the annual UN summit, the chamber broke out in spontaneous laughter at Trump’s claim that “in less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country”.

Clearly taken aback, Trump said: “I didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK.”

Well, I assume an allegation of gang rape will foreclose the “boys will be boys” line, but with the GOP, who really knows.
