If all of these Kavanaugh accusations were manufactured by the left then where was this during the Gorsuch nomination?

[Freddy Rumsen]

Gorsuch was replacing Scalia, Kavanaugh is taking over the "swing vote" of Kennedy. Stakes are higher.

In the Florida U.S. Senate race, which could be critical to control of the Senate this year,
Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson moves into a 53 – 46 percent likely voter lead over Gov.
Rick Scott, the Republican challenger, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll released today

I think a result like this could put Cruz in big trouble, which would create a path for the Dems to take the Senate while still losing both in MO and ND.

I think QU just produced a total outlier (which are meant to happen occasionally). 538.com has the race as even as it can be based on the poll aggregation:

It's a start...

Nice.

53% is definitely impossible for this race.

I finally got where the FFFFFF reference came from:


Frankly, I see this picture and I hear "Christmas in Gstaad is gonna cost us!"

[Troy Loney]

That "Renate Alumnius" line has also sparked some controversy.

Judge - Have you boofed yet?

[dodint]

The investigation needs to uncover whether or not Judge has indeed boofed yet.

Trump says his admin "accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country...So true." [Audience Laughs]
"Didn't expect that reaction but OK"

Starts at 46 seconds. It's legitimately funny, he at least seemed to take it well.

He played that off far better than I would have expected.

With Trump in his first year, and with Ginsburg's and Breyer's ages?

[Freddy Rumsen]

Are we really with straight faces trying to discern crazy things in a high school yearbook and then pretending like they matter?

My junior year yearbook had a whole section about kids sneaking out of the house to drink. Guess that means we're all alcoholics down there in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

BTW, strictly to enhance my understanding of English (besides the new phrases explained at the end of that link above ) - isn't "Alumnius" grammatically incorrect?

[Freddy Rumsen]

Those coming Avenatti allegations are something else...

Avenatti has locked his twitter account because Shad

[shafnutz05]

Avenatti is just the kind of guy that would fall hook line and sinker for that kind of prank.

Well, since there were at least two letters stating that Mr. K is the awesome man who in high school and college treated women with 1,000% respect and would never, ever, even dream of doing the bad things he was so unfairly accused of...

[Freddy Rumsen]

I did all kinds of drinking, burning stuff down, normal high school idiot stuff, but I still managed to not do illegal/inappropiate stuff with chicks. There is not a correspondence between the two.

[slappybrown]

citing his high school yearbook page as evidence of anything is dumb as hell imo

Alumnus are men.
Alumni is mixed gender, also plural of above.
Alumna are women.
Alumnae is plural of Alumna.

Alumnius is...nothing.

Avenatti has locked his twitter account because Shad

If that's true, that's truly damaging and somewhat not surprising. I guess the new gripe is that he's said at least 2-3 times she's totally vetted.

/edit - the only place I see that Avenatti is wrong is Brietbart, which, how could anyone trust that site?

That would be hilarious.

He certainly went dark real quick. It is not in his personality to not be the center of attention at all times.

Alumnius is...uneducated.
