    I got tired of shaving my face. My wife likes fuzzy, so I grew my beard.

    My last two weeks at this job are looking to be pretty frustrating. The project we’re trying to get the team onboarded for is poorly documented and bug-riddled, and the people who wrote it are in Ukraine and won’t give us more than one hour of video chat (at 8am) with their lead developer next week. They really don’t want us to take over until January, so they can keep billing 300 hours for moving a couple buttons. I am getting out just in time!

    Sweet tapdancing Christ on a Krispie Kream. STFU George, you still-worthless POS. Loomis turns over a turd to find this.

    Former President George W. Bush has been advocating for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh with wavering senators in recent days. That’s according to a person familiar with the outreach who wasn’t authorized to discuss the development publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

    Kavanaugh is a former top aide in Bush’s administration.

    Bush has spoken to Republicans Jeff Flake of Arizona and Susan Collins of Maine as well as Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia over the past several days — in an effort that the person familiar with the outreach says Bush initiated.

    Is George W. Bush fine with a rapist on the Supreme Court! Yes, of course he is! This is because the Republican Party is a moral cancer on the nation.

He created patriotism and taught the nations war— founded theology, philosophy, law, medicine and Chicago. He established monarchical and republican government. He is from everlasting to everlasting— such as creation’s dawn beheld he fooleth now. In the morning of time he sang upon primitive hills, and in the noonday of existence headed the procession of being. His grandmotherly hand was warmly tucked-in the set sun of civilization, and in the twilight he prepares Man’s evening meal of milk-and-morality and turns down the covers of the universal grave. And after the rest of us shall have retired for the night of eternal oblivion he will sit up to write a history of human civilization.

    @Corner Stone: she keeps calling Kavanaugh’s lies– about the night of a sexual assault, the public sexual denigration of a 17 year old girl and god knows what else– “white lies”…. could somebody call her on that?

    I think she’s useful to watch because she’s pretty much every stereotype of the upper middle class, college educated “suburban” woman who calls herself “socially liberal and fiscally conservative” and, I would bet, has voted R in every presidential election except ’08 and ’16,

    I miss furry things. Our life is so complicated now we can’t add any more living creatures, but after waking up at 4am this morning to a long anxiety reel consisting of memories of every sexual assault I have ever experienced (they started at age 4 for me, so, yeah, not fun stuff) interspersed with visions of Kavanaugh’s evil scowling face, I finally gave up and got into my kids bed. They reflexively snuggled with me and snorted a little and while I never did get back to sleep, it did give me some immense relief. Warm, fuzzy-headed kids and dogs and cats are a pretty good antidote to hellish supreme court hearings. Oh, and Zanax (though I just ran out…)

    Right now they’ve agreed to a delay for a limited scope FBI investigation. There’s too many icebergs out there for their man that they just don’t want nosy inquiries about: Whelan’s connections, his employer’s connections to Manafort and Ukraine, the stolen docs re Senator Leahy, debts/gambling etc. I’m wondering if there was ever a stint in rehab somewhere.

    @trollhattan: At the beginning of his nomination i was surprised to read that a LOT of people–some on our side– seemed to think Kavanaugh was at least someone of substance and character who’d be a fair yet conservative judge. I don’t know how many people would have even bothered to look further had the Dems not screamed from the rooftops about his missing work product, failure to talk about his work with Ken Starr, his involvement in hacked emails he apparently lied about in his previous confirmation. That stuff didn’t fully come out until a week or so ago. Brett has been conning people for quite a while, and he got a lot of help from the pro’s doing it for this nomination.

    I would really like to corner GWB at a fundraiser and ask him how he feels now–actually, how his wife and daughters feel– after what’s transpired in the last 24 hours. Just to watch him squirm.

    After Thursday, a lot of otherwise marginal Republican voters will be motivated by the Kavanaugh travesty and the Democrats’ disgusting tactics. There is nothing that Republicans could have done that would have motivated their voters as much as what the Democrats have done by their attempt to destroy Kavanaugh.

    Democrats’ relationship with the rule of law has reached an unprecedented place. And in addition to what we witnessed during the Kavanaugh confirmation, it is worth remembering that the Democrats are the party that enthusiastically backs making it easier for felons to vote and for illegal immigrants to be granted amnesty in large part because they think it would help them win elections. Now they want a confirmation process, designed specifically for Republicans, in which nothing more than an allegation is sufficient to stop their political opponents from holding office. The Democrats still don’t have a message on the economy or foreign policy. The only thing they can claim to be theirs is a growing but vague flirtation with socialism and the support of the so-called resistance, which has disintegrated into cowardly protests and attempts at personal destruction.

    We are going to destroy these folks in November – we are coming for you, GOP

    …In the Bible, Thomas says he will not believe what Jesus has survived unless he can stick his hand into the wounds. But this is not a reasonable thing to ask of someone who is not God, to stick your hand into their wound. I am tired of watching people become wounds. Half the Internet is a wound. Have you stuck your hand in it enough? Do you believe yet? The #MeToo movement lurches forward over a path of scars. The change is so slow and the sacrifice it demands so great.

    Even as she testified Thursday, Christine Blasey Ford kept apologizing. (“I’m sorry,” she said. “I can read fast!” she said. She was here to be “helpful,” she said.)

    Someday I want to not be tired.
    Someday I want us not to apologize.

    Women are used to squinting to see our own stories in the stories of others. To reading ourselves into the words “all men are created equal.” To being the thing tied to the tracks to raise the stakes.

    I am so tired of the moment when you discover how little your weight counts against the train’s.

    I want us to be the train and not the thing thrown under it.
    I want us to be the thing too urgent to be stopped, not the thing that must curl up apologetically to make room for it.

    Is it too much to ask to be the train sometimes? Not all the time, just sometimes.

    @trollhattan:
    A periodic reminder of just how awful W was as a president and a person. The only reasons he gets such a pass compared to Trump:

    1) We’ve had the whole of the Obama years to forget how awful he was. He helped by staying in the background during that time.

    2) He grew up in a political family, so he learned from an early age to act the way people expect a politician to act.

    It’s amazing how important 2) is. Part of the reason people react so strongly to Trump is because he doesn’t act “presidential”. That failure of presentation alerts people to all the other awful stuff he’s doing. Since Bush knew how people expected the president to act, he could get away with a huge amount more; people just couldn’t believe somebody who acted so presidential could be as awful as he was at the actual job of being president.

    That surgical glue is great stuff. When my dad had open heart surgery to have a valve replaced, they used glue to close up his incision. Four months later, he had no scar other then a very fine white line down the center of his chest that you could hardly see.

    Do you use an electric razor? Maybe he thinks you have a small vacuum cleaner attacking your face.

    @NotMax:

    We never heard a hint of him being rapey, and now there’s an anonymous allegation that he assaulted a Republican staffer when he was working with Ken Starr. Institutions hide this shit when it makes their guys look bad.

    I don’t think Kavanaugh was drunk yesterday. I think yesterday was theater day for Kavanaugh. No doubt Trump would implore him to do exactly what he did. No I think some told Kavanaugh to go right over the top and keep it coming. And so he did. I was unimpressed.

    @Millard Filmore: No, I’ve always (well, almost always) used a plain cartridge razor. It was after I finished and came out of the bathroom that Murphy went into a frenzy. (It eventually occurred to me that there might be minute, invisible to the human eye, amounts of blood on my face….)
