Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: ‘Weird’ To See Kavanaugh FBI Probe ‘Turning Away’ Info | MTP Daily | MSNBC
Gambling lies alcohol and assaulting women, it’s not a frat boy it’s our Supreme Court.
@Ali Durand What assault on the rule of law? What are u talking about? Like what reality do u live in because it isn’t this one? Repeat the editors note from the NYT article VERBATIM
@Ash Roskell The same “Trump Country” that Juicy Smolliet said in his “racially motivated attack” in Chicago at 2 am in minus 16-degree weather?
@ChickenCaesarSalad also there was another black man who destroyed his own building and spray painted the n-word on the wall of his own building
You need information before they find out giving you half a chance. Just follow the MONEY!
Give Kavanaugh a 🍺 another 🍺 and another 🍺 then he will loosen up , admit his transgressions & resign his SCOTUS 💺.
@Mary Elizabeth He probably looks forward to it all year ! Puts on his shorts & Craft 🍺 👕 !
lol.. cavanagh is the man.. all the dems and the fake smears will not take him down..
@jeff mcgowan What is so wrong with your life that you idealize someone who has been accused of sexual misconduct multiple times, specifically because of those allegations? It doesn’t happen for no reason. There are far better folks out there to put on your pedestal. You’re part of the problem here, not part of the solution.
@dbptwg if you are rich.. yes it can happen to you.. if your running for a spot in the gove.. yes it can happen to you..
Thank you so much Senator.
I am very proud of my senator, that being said, the oil industry was very aware of climate change. They had to begin to build well structures in the oceans, higher, but tried to keep this realization quiet. This is just one factor.
of course they are aware of it…it benefits them…meting ice caps and permafrost means easy access to untapped reserves once trapped beneath the ice…..rumor has it the energy barons are pushing for gobal warming for this very reason.
@Amen Knowtech They’re so sick, making us sick in many ways.
And you should be proud, Dorothy.
Are you seeing any effects on the coast line?
Being an Australian I really hope our government does not let us be dragged into another manufactured war – particularly when it’s your #45 is leading the pack!
@screech weiner – Now that #45’s vexed with Fox ‘News’, he’s p!mping ‘another channel’…one with an *actual GRU-financed reporter* on their staff:

#45 – *So* embarrassing for America…and pretty d@mn ‘unpatriotic’, really. 🤔
@Skara Caesar Well we thought we had a reliable ally in USA, it now appears to not be the case. You need to remember we have a population of about 25 million as opposed to 330 million in USA, so we rely on a system of solid alliances to secure our continued existence.
@screech weiner Rupert is now an American citizen but he is still manipulating our politicians – but his time is limited.
@screech weiner He was born in Australia but has given up his citizenship and become an American (and you’re welcome to him).
Thank you, Australia! We love y’all
Blackout Brett BOOF…🍾.🍾🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃.
The US did it to try and start another war!
Senstor Whitehouse is a champion politician. We need more politicians like him
Absolutely, no doubt. A true to his word, honest, extremely well respected gentleman.
Yes we do need lots more like him!
Go Sheldon go. I agree with this 100%. These companies were aware of this 45 years ago. I remember talking about what the repercussions of this would be. We talked about it in class at school.
I love to hear leadership from Sheldon Whitehouse. Such courage ! Bring it!
I think Saudi Arabia or Israel or the trump did it. They look Lie and murder!!!!
I think you did it!
R.I. keeping it real. Rock on Rhode Island!
The government has proven time and again that they lie to drag us into war. I just don’t believe their story.
There aren’t enough investigators in the Universe to do what’s needed to expose all the GOP criminality that’s been committed in the Trump Administration.
as well as factory farming, with government subsidies, such as in the middle of florida, seeping down the rivers to the sea, causing the algae, resulting in economic loss
When I lived on a canal in Charlotte County FL, one summer the water looked like Coke syrup because of the crap being pumped from Lake Okeechobee.
I can’t believe how many people still are denying facts. Lack of education? Lack of trust in science? Lack of trust in the media?
I don’t mind RI suing the companies, at least as a deterrence – but keep the eye on what we can do to combat the climate crisis right now and have that in mind in Nov. 2020.
Senator Whitehouse is great honorable man
Ok Russian
In other words there is no proof yet. Trump has been desperate for war with Iran. I think he hopes it can save his presidency. If American lives are lost over this, trump is history…
Now we’re talking! ALWAYS hit them where it hurts!!!!
