President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

I am thinking of a number - and I think you know the number - don't you? Come on... you know the number, just tell us.

I liked the early statements from the Ds. Basically - FIXED! But these trap questions :nonono:

Kamala Harris asked Kavanaugh a question she already knew the answer to. Kavanaugh made the brutal error of pretending he didn't know.

Amateur hour. Get this joker out of here.

You mean when they were sitting around the water cooler chatting about it? Or when he was giving legal advice with attorney/client privilege. The who is material.

And he is going through (along party lines) - the rest of this is just theatre. I hate Harry Reid for this...

This is definitely theatre. Morons Pelosi and Schumer already let the cat out the bag that the Dems are not going to obstruct.

Because he never envisioned the Rs taking control of the Administration and both houses. And now we have the unintended consequence.

It's a nice egg on face moment for Trump, but I don't have much respect for this anon source.

You don't get any credit for being part of this cluster **** and then acting all high and mighty, this person is just as much of a problem as the rest of that administration.

Interesting stuff...Kavanaugh is definitely has pro-White nationalist views as shown in the emails. There are several conversations of trying to use the law to enhance discriminatory practices. His discussion with Helgi Walker (some DC swamp creature) is pretty damning...they OPENLY talked about using racial profiling at airport security not only for the short term, but as a LONG TERM strategy:

Not sure I understand this comment, but neither the identity of a client nor the fact of representation are generally subject to attorney client privilege. Maybe that's not what you meant.

Also an entirely meaningless measure, Nike is still up 27 points compared to this time last year.


Someone else was pointing out that Adidas/Under Armour are also losing money.

Considering Merit Garland never even got a hearing, I have absolutely zero problem with that line of questioning.

I have no problem with either the question or the answer. Or just ignoring the question.

She's not a lightweight by any stretch...she has star power and name recognition. But she's not presidential material either. Her track record in California is just BAD. She's the female Corey Booker (and while I detest Booker, I give him tons of credit for what he did).
