I think this just became my favorite mashup of all time, lol

Yā€™all shouldā€™ve seen it 3 hours earlier when Timex posted it, or 2 hours before that when Abidingdude posted it. ;)

I kid! I kid!

3141

OMG that is awesome.

3142

That was incredible! :)

3143

No sound at work so I didnā€™t know how awesome it was. And yes, it was @abidingdude who posted it.
Reminds me, someone on Reddit I think suggested that the Democrats should have enlisted Avenatti for their consul to question Kavanaugh. Given BKā€™s pathetic screed, that would have been perfect.
ā€¦
Iā€™ve been thinking, if I could ask Brent Kavanaugh a question, what would it be? In my head I composed a long essay on that, but turns out it can be reduced to a simple question:

After Dr. Ford came forward with her story, what should the Senate have done?

3144

closing out the meme. SLJ knows whats up.

3145

I would have gone with Al Franken.

Before this week, Iā€™ve always thought of Chris Coons as being sort of aā€¦bland guy. Nice guy, sure. But does he ever do anything? Didnā€™t know.

Butā€¦yeah. My esteem goes up.

3147

Great read, thanks triggercut.

Full Coons speech (C-span, skip ahead to 2:24:25):

After he finished, and Crapo started, Flake relinquished his speaking spot and left the room with Coons following.

This is a great story and Iā€™d love to see more things like this happen. But why the hell does the GOP have to be so fricking evil? Would make politics much more interesting and less horrific if they werenā€™t such shitheads through & through.

Aside: Chrisā€™s Chief Counsel is Erica Knievel Songer, a distant cousin of Evel.

Petri channels T.S. Elliot or something. Sheā€™s amazing.

Indeed she is. Everyone read the whole thing, itā€™s terrific.

I am so tired.

The train is very, very urgent. It is moving a manā€™s career forward. It is very difficult to get the train to stop.

The presumption is that the train will not stop. The presumption is that you will be a scream thrown on the tracksā€¦

It is painful to watch a woman caught and torn in the gears of a manā€™s progress. To watch the meaning of her name change into a thing that happened to her once. To watch the first sentence of her obituary get rewritten.

Swetnick and Avenatti Iā€™m guessing.

These are my favorite tweets of this whole debacle:

Thatā€™s awesome. All politics is local, indeed!
