…This whole business seems to be pulling Trump’s approval ratings up, probably because it’s bringing anti-Trump conservatives home.

Too logy (it’s been record breaking hot all week) to work up new lyrics for the song, substituting “It’s Kavanaugh” for “In Camelot.”
Maybe later on.

That Pulp Fiction video was hilarious. I loved it when Samuel L Jackson shut Lindsay Graham up.

Ya know, if the Republicans can bring in a random prosecutor from Arizona, why can’t the Democrats let Samuel L. Jackson lead their interrogation?

Didn’t Kav’s opening include outrage over the boat rape and the other story the GOP ops dumped late Wednesday. A couple more rehearsed lies.

Polling seems a bit flaccid, but perhaps if they keep flogging the bish…er, judge, they can stave off inevitable shrinkage.

ICYMI, Colbert just had The Dude on as Trump’s lawyer. Well, not literally The Dude, but Jeff Bridges did tell Trump he’s out of his element. Brilliant segment.

Jerry Brown vetoed a bill tonight that would’ve let some municipalities decide whether to test out a 4am last call. He said you can get up to quite enough highjinks with a 2am last call thank-you-very-much! Sorta came out of nowhere.

@Major Major Major Major:
He also left SB 320 unsigned, that would mandate UC and CSU campuses provide abortion medication.
I think he vetoes it, CSU can’t handle the medical costs and UC has all the hospitals anyway.

@Mart: Wait, what? I only heard some vague remark about a rape on a boat, but never any details, mainly because we were on the road in the hinterlands of SoCal with lousy radio reception most of the time. You’re saying that was a set-up by GOP operatives just so he could deny it? I don’t know if that’s incredibly stupid or what.

Not too bad a night. I came home to, er, well… my kitchen is a disaster. For only one meal, but… The housemate made homemade pasta and marinara, plus sweet potato fries.
He seems to feel he can cook me into a good mood. I can’t complain. Except the floor now needs a good washing, stat.

Yes, my mistake, it was Weiner, easy to lose in the legislation that was signed.

@Steeplejack (phone): Girl, there are tomato sauce drops everywhere & I cannot even with the counter where he rolled out the pasta dough. But he did clean up the bulk of it. You can’t complain when someone cooks for you for several hours.
Steeplejack (phone)
@ruemara:
(I know you weren’t replying to me.)
I’m mostly a “clean as you go” cook. Years of working in small kitchens. I really don’t like people trashing the whole kitchen with their diva cooking routines.
ruemara
@Steeplejack (phone): lol, I have no idea how you got included, but all good. Oh, he’s no diva. He’s just a messy guy. But he cleans up after himself & there are far more important things to fret over.
opiejeanne
@ruemara: I think that’s a healthy attitude.
anything else and you’d make yourself nuts. My husband has decided he’ll clean up if I cook for him. It’s worked out pretty well so far, and we both tend to lose weight more quickly than when we’re eating out (not because I’m a bad cook).

@opiejeanne: We had a few bobbles when we started living with each other, in the vein of “I’ve had previous arguments with women about this & I am pre-defensive before I know what you want”. I carefully but firmly explained that unlike his past girlfriends, I’m a grown ass woman and I’ve been grown about my shit longer than he’s ever even had his balls drop, so understand that I am fully capable of discussion, negotiation & acceptance of difference. Some people don’t become grown ass adults until they die. I’ve been grown since before I was 11. This is not anything to have huge fights over. I can’t imagine a relationship where you have a fight that lasts a week when someone is just trying to please you with a meal. Weird.

@Yutsano: What in the world of wonder?
Mnemosyne
@ruemara:
Well, at least he tried to clean up even if he didn’t quite get everything. Maybe encourage him to make something less messy next time? ?
Otherwise, A for effort (assuming it was tasty) and C for cleaning ability.

@Yutsano: good for him I guess.
ruemara
@Mnemosyne: he does his best on cleanup and anything else I can handle with my normal chores. A for everything. I don’t mind. His meal prep skills are superb though. I will take a willing food chopper. And he will take on any chore that means I make things he can stuff in his face. Men – natural high metabolism or deal with the devil? The world may never know.
Mnemosyne
@ruemara:
Oh, I have no room to criticize anyone else’s cleaning abilities. Living with me is like living with a frat boy, which is why we have cleaning people once a month. My own mother (who died when I was 7) was apparently a bad housekeeper herself, and my stepmom (current mom) came along too late to be able to teach me. Plus my undiagnosed ADHD didn’t help. So I am a terrible slob who feels guilty about having to be reminded, but still has to be reminded.

@Yutsano: Well good for George Will to be human for a minute, or likely just advocating for the most cost effective solution to the death penalty. Another conservative proving weighing facts results in progressive solutions. (FBI investgations included.)

Struck me this morning that it might not have been a good Presidential strategy to have been trashing the FBI for months leading up to them handling the investigation of the man you desperately want on the Supreme Court.
PST
@BretH: it struck me the same way, but maybe we’re dead wrong. Maybe it’s exactly the right way to make the FBI want to placate and appease him. If there is one thing Trump seems to understand, it’s how to use trash talk to get what he wants.

I am still staggered why the popular fixation doesn’t seem to give a shit about what Judge McRapeyCryBaby did at the hearing and it’s all about what happened when he was a teen. You ask me the people who are supporting him after that rant are utter idiots and don’t see how out of control that guy is. Judge McRapeyCrybaby will be handing down decisions based on who didn’t say hello to him the elevator and crap like that. People are calling him Trump II and like Trump, what will be coming out of this idiot once he is a justice will be be far stupider than we can imagine.
