    We're going to dinner later and I'm forcing her to wear her uniform .. which she doesn't want to do. But I hit her with 'cough, cough, do this for your ailing father .. who raised you by myself.' :0)
    Have a lovely time. It’s the way I feel about my niece, so proud of her, excelling in Army life! She’s at Columbia right now going through dental school.

    Kindred spirits for sure.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    Catch 22.......delaying the confirmation vote likely will cost them two additional seats in the senate in addition to the two they will already lose.......

    Make no mistake about it, democrats will come after him after they retake the House and quite possibly the Senate.
    Even if the Democrats win a majority in the Senate they will not have the 2/3 majority necessary for conviction. And it is certain they will not try to impeach both Trump and Kavanaugh.

    Impeaching Trump is a done deal .. and feel free to believe they won't do Trump and Kavanaugh.

    Let's all play by the same biased and no-holds-barred rules that republicans do.

    Trump gets removed in 2020 or sooner..

    Impeachment and removal are two separate acts. It only takes a majority to impeach but 2/3 to convict and remove. Democrats will not have close to 2/3 even if they win a Senate majority. Since Democrats don't have the 2/3 to convict it would be a huge waste of time for them to impeach both Trump and Kavanaugh and fail to convict because it will create a strong backlash against them (except among the most partisan).

    He's a beauty! He's not fat, he's fluffy.

    Tell me about the waste of time impeaching Bill Clinton was. Time didn't seem to be an issue then.

    I know the difference between impeachment and removal .. and I know what it takes for both.

    Trump will be impeached .. you probably already know that .. and if you don't, that's another story.

    The case to impeach Kavanaugh is already building.

    You hoping that democrats won't impeach THE worst president in history .. and THE most disapproved SC nominee in history is kinda' laughable.

    Democrats should not shy away from what must be done because it won't be easy.

    Democratic voters are tired of the weakness of too many of their politicians.
