Mr. President is exploring the legality of firing the Fed Cheif. The Fed exec apparently is responsibly for tanking 1/6 (4600 points) of the US economy with rate hikes since Oct??

You guys wont get your impeachment but the chances of assissination are increasing rapidly.

Stock market indexes are not the economy.

Trump and I are on the same page:

Donald J. Trump

‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump

The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?

If by "On the same page" you mean "Don't understand the facts"

Anyone else think that Shogun should be banned from posting in the Trump thread until he pays Chup the 20$ from the mid-term bet?

Lets finalize this Midterm bet.

I have no time for a beer sadly.  20$ says the Dems take control of the house.

Let me guess - Shogy's check is in the mail.

If the people of California would get out and rake around the shrubs (like they do in Finland), there wouldn't be a fire problem.

Dude, look at the context of the first three accuser's; not one of them apparently remembers anything other than Kavanaugh was there. I've met people who remember the day they got a DUI that changed their life let alone how good my own memory sadly is and these three lady's cant recall a date, month, year or a freakin' season until Kavanaugh released his calendar? Riiiiiiiiight.

If I can remember correctly, both the first two accuser's only remembered the event after talking it over with a lawyer. If that was in the courtroom, it'd be construed as leading the witness.

Give the moral high horse a rest because given the actuality of the claims pertaining to the gravity of a nominated Supreme Court Justice, I think them and their claims need and deserve some scrutiny.

nope. 

First accuser recounted the details in counseling in 2012.  Sent a letter to her congresswoman in July when Kavanaugh was on the shortlist.   As for the details, she seems pretty clear that she remembers more than just that "Kavanaugh was there".  Excerpt from her statement to congress:

"When I got to the small gathering, people were drinking beer in a small living room on the first floor of the house. I drank one beer that evening. Brett and Mark were visibly drunk. Early in the evening, I went up a narrow set of stairs leading from the living room to a second floor to use the bathroom. When I got to the top of the stairs, I was pushed from behind into a bedroom. I couldn't see who pushed me. Brett and Mark came into the bedroom and locked the door behind them. There was music already playing in the bedroom. It was turned up louder by either Brett or Mark once we were in the room. I was pushed onto the bed and Brett got on top of me. He began running his hands over my body and grinding his hips into me. I yelled, hoping someone downstairs might hear me, and tried to get away from him, but his weight was heavy. Brett groped me and tried to take off my clothes. He had a hard time because he was so drunk, and because I was wearing a one-piece bathing suit under my clothes. I believed he was going to rape me. I tried to yell for help. When I did, Brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming. This was what terrified me the most, and has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me. Both Brett and Mark were drunkenly laughing during the attack. They both seemed to be having a good time. Mark was urging Brett on, although at times he told Brett to stop. A couple of times I made eye contact with Mark and thought he might try to help me, but he did not.

During this assault, Mark came over and jumped on the bed twice while Brett was on top of me. The last time he did this, we toppled over and Brett was no longer on top of me. I was able to get up and run out of the room. Directly across from the bedroom was a small bathroom. I ran inside the bathroom and locked the door. I heard Brett and Mark leave the bedroom laughing and loudly walk down the narrow stairs, pin-balling off the walls on the way down. I waited and when I did not hear them come back up the stairs, I left the bathroom, ran down the stairs, through the living room, and left the house. I remember being on the street and feeling an enormous sense of relief that I had escaped from the house and that Brett and Mark were not coming after me."

Public testimony, you should read it:  https://edition.cnn.com/2018/09/26/politics/ford-testimony/index.html

It's one of the two (?) lines on this rock face. I can never remember if Big Stupid or Semi Retarded is on the right.

Semi is riders right. BS is left.

Rock faces at bottom of Ladies Only, but now you might miss it with the swoopy ride around.

Nothin like paying $40,000 for a $30,000 used car (assuming 5 years payments).

Save up your dineros and pay cash.

Yep.

Great news conference. "Gotta stop the leaks - it's fake news".

"Biggest Electoral win since Ronald Reagan"
"This administration is running like a fine tuned machine"
"I inherited a mess"
"That circuit is in chaos, that circuit is frankly in turmoil"
"Bigly"

:lol:

Thanks - that adds a lot more detail/context. Everything I was reading on the news was overly vague.

Wonder if anything further will come of this? The GQ video makes it seem like it could be a big deal.

If evidence comes out that Trump was in the loop or in any way coordinating this communication with the Russians, then it has the potential to be a very big scandal.

Now, whether or not the Republican controlled house or senate would agree and/or act is another question entirely.
