I didn't realize that Ford said the house where she was attacked was "somewhere between my house and the country club " https://t.co/VRMN3Kaije That would seem to rule out "Timmy's" house in Rockville and cripple the July1,1982 theory, no?

I was on a radio show with him once. He was an amnesty supporter. (I.e. he was for a "compehensive" amnesty-first bill). This would have been around 2010. https://t.co/iknDZnrMCj

"The problem is, there is nothing in Ludington's statement that actually contradicts Kavanaugh's testimony." Did Kavanaugh deny getting drunk, getting really drunk, getting stumbling drunk, "carousing," or even getting into fights? I don't think so. https://t.co/k01dcyt6Gt

Well, Nunes is weak on immigration — backs "comprehensive" Amnesty-First bills — so he's not such a hypocrite … https://t.co/AdipSOGGke

In other words, tweet should have said "Tribe, Holland eagerly fall for …." Yglesias and Blake seem to have expressed some skepticism (while nevertheless RTing). https://t.co/nnZ60GOL9X

NO SPARTACUS POINTS FOR YOU: ACLU has opposed 4 of the last 18 people nominated to the Supreme Court. Sorry, this doesn't seem like such a "rare" break from "policy." https://t.co/qD1onaWF3p via @HuffPostPol

Wages for lower-paid workers (10th percentile) are indeed growing "at a strong clip", says @econjared. He cites two factors; "low unemployment and higher minimum wages." I can think of a third.

7/1/82: So "Timmy's" house was or wasn't in Rockville, which seems to be 10 miles away from Columbia Country Club (in seeming contrast to where Blasey Ford says it was)? https://t.co/ZbBEuXnlko

Trump badly needs something to distract from the coming week-long festival of MSM attacks on Kavanaugh. He could have a useful shutdown fight over the wall–oh wait, he can't because he signed the spending bill yesterday. Which genius aides told him to do that?

A shutdown fight would have fit beautifully into the waiting-for-FBI period next week. Just saying.

Seeming problem with 7/1/82 Theory: Tim Gaudette house-"less than 11 miles from the Columbia Country Club"- isn't close to club, nor would it seem to be in "Chevy Chase/Bethesda area" (where Ford's testimony puts it). Most of DC area is within "11 miles" of Country Club https://t.co/x2MxrQFDQv

We disagree! I saw him & thought, OK, he's *that* guy. I'm fine with that guy. He's human-as are most judges! Wouldn't want 9 of him. Anger not excessive if he's innocent. A pol but didn't seem like somebody with closed mind whom you couldn't argue with–that'd be dealbreaker. https://t.co/aCoXHfu5ZC

True. OTOH was just at party with ordinary citizens who don't like Kavanaugh. They actually want FBI investigation (not just delay), Will feel better about him if it turns up nothing. At least the right thing was done. Process values! Might help him. FBI Seal of Approval https://t.co/qzKnra57l5

Kavanaugh's pissed-off testimony gave us unusually clear picture of who he is (where he comes from, what drives him, his virtues, what might be his limitations)-as opposed to usual, oft-fake, "judicial temperament." Do we want this guy on Court? Me: He's fine, as one of nine.

PSST! Kavanaugh is not the only big question coming to a head. There's also the SPENDING BILL. Please CALL the White House at 202 456 1414 and urge Trump NOT to sign it. A veto his only hope to bargain for his WALL. If he signs it, it means Ryan/McConnell have snookered him.
