Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The vote was 50-48 in favor of Kavanaugh.
Senators Collins, Flake, and Manchin had already announced their intentions to confirm Kavanaugh before the vote was held. Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was previously ready to vote "no", agreed to vote "present" instead so that Senator Steve Daines could attend his daughter's wedding instead of being present in the Senate to support Kavanaugh.

I believe QAnon was High Level Insider. My psychoanalysis of High Level Insider is that he is a mid-twenties Catholic male with a private educational background of philosophy, maybe even theology. Then, when known as High Level Insider, he became bored with people actually believing his LARPS and not offering real creative challenges. Then he started making ever-increasingly idiotic comments such as "Obama is Osama."
Qanon tells tales like Tori Amos writes lyrics -- vague word-salads that compel others to interpret them how they see fit, and since the directions are so vague, anybody can correlate the information to anything given only a few degrees of separation. In short, it's the same shit that fortune tellers do.
Don't get me wrong, I love conspiracy shit. But sometimes LARPS can get out of hand. Look at organized religion, for example.

Wait, wait, WAIT!
Fortune tellers? You have a problem with Gypsies? You don't like the Romany? Dude, I thought you were "woke". It's the Jews who have spread all the propaganda against the Romany. Romany are real, and Jews are fake. Fortune tellers know the truth, and Jews lie. What are you, racist?

Even Thomas Harris hates the Roma, he (is an American expat who feel in love with living in Italy) doesn't call them "Gypsies" in his book but he goes to great lengths to discuss how scummy the Roma are:

Don't count on Trump to release those. Senator Hirono from Hawaii will tell us exactly how this is the fault of all men, and how Murkowski and the other 53% of white women who voted for Trump were just being mind controlled.

Start with the documents he already ordered declassified and released and the Deep State simply ignored the order for. If needed he should walk his ass over to the DoJ / FBI and demand the documents and fire on the spot anyone in his way who refuses his direct order to produce them. Not only will a full exposure of those docs end the Russia! Russia! Russia! nonsense it should put handcuffs on hundreds of bad actors. If the Truth is as bad as I expect it to be it will probably produce a public demand to shutter both the FBI and CIA and start over. Why do you think they dare risk defying a direct order? They are out of options.
Then lets get the FBI files on this Kavanaugh mess and find out who attempted to suborn perjury and arrest them. Then find out who created a Deep State windup toy out of Dr. Ford. hint: We now think she wrote her letter with the help of the ex-FBI bestie who worked for Preet Bharara... who wait for it, worked for Sen. Schumer. Three degrees of separation between the shock last minute witness and the Senate stretches credulity too much to let pass without some investigating. If crime is never punished it flourishes into the lawlessness we see here. Just like "broken windows policing" it really matters when you punish the smaller crimes.
Then lets dump the full extent of the Clinton Foundation's criminality. From money laundering, stealing the donations intended for Haiti, being a conduit for illegal foreign contributions to HRCs campaign, etc. Then Trump can keep another campaign promise by LOCKING HER UP.
And after this fiasco if Trump "accidentally" let a flash drive fall out of his pocket with the full background checks of every Democratic Senator as payback, I'd giggle my ass off. But nah, he won't go there.

That was a signal, the "toilet paper" (48 in chaldean numerology) represented the Democrats shitting themselves and taking an ass kicking. The toilet paper was stuck to Trumps "shoe" (20 in numerology), a clear reference to the 20 million viewers who watched the Ford hearing. The rumors are true, Trump is communicating using his back channel... ThanQ!

"If Trump "accidentally" let a flash drive fall out of his pocket with the full background checks of every Democratic Senator as payback"
But, of course, you wouldn't want any Republican background checks in there would you now?
If Clinton (Whom I hate as much as anyone) was really guilty of anything big, then all of those investigations into her by the Republicans can only mean the R's, the FBI, CIA, NSA and whatever other alphabet agencies are completely and totally incompetent. They would of jumped at anything, but found nothing (at least nothing big).
Just love all you partisan hacks. Standing in the shit of your own party whilst throwing that shit at the other and screaming 'Look, they're covered in shit!"
You must be Alex Jone's love child.
**note** Since you are such a hack, you will look at my sig and yell Trump Derangement Syndrome! However, before the election it was "It's the Pantsuited Enabler vs. The Creamsicle Charlatan. This should be on WWE, not our ballots."

Except of course the Clintons DID do that. You are probably too young to remember them being caught with stacks of records on political opponents that they had zero official business for having. It got the catchy name of Filegate [infogalactic.com]. Of course since it was the Clintons nothing happened. The only thing they didn't do was a public dump but then back then there wasn't much of an Internet or a Wikileaks.

I lived through that. (59) I never said they weren't criminals. Just that the congressional hearings that I don't recall the exact number or cost and don't feel like looking up the details to, never found anything to hang her with, and they were the most adversarial panel that possibly could of been assembled. With all the conspiracies floating around at the time and since, you would of thought they would of found something. Hence, there either was nothing important enough, or they are all incompetent or compromised. They would of taken anything they could of found regardless of the relevance to what they were investigating. Yeah, maybe they are such masterminds that they eluded detection of anything major, but they never struck me as that smart. And a conspiracy big enough to compromise that many people without leaks I don't find credible. Nor do I find mass incompetence credible. Therefor, she is either clean (as in rich don't get charged with offenses we would hang for and they found nothing big enough to hang a powerful politician with, or the hanging of her would expose corruption on their side, not out of the question) or she should be the star adversary of the next 007 film.
I voted Green.
Only because Cthulhu/Dagon nor Collosus/Guardian were running.....why vote for the lesser of two evils?
