There are other perspectives on the Jesuits . . . and their goals, deeds etc. Some from former members.
Flake could have killed the nomination Friday with a No vote.
Yes, thank you, I have heard all of your perspective on Catholicism that I care to hear. I find much of it to be highly misinformed. Thank you. That is the end of this discussion.
Thank you I am all in, let’s vote.

Q doesn’t sound so confident now....
Ping for later.
I can’t believe I just read something by Andrew Sullivan that didn’t leave me screaming. The man was absolutely trying to be honest and analytical. Quite impressed.
Everyone Lost at the Ford-Kavanaugh Hearings
Yesterday was a spectacle I hope we do not have to experience again. We watched two human beings, Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh, exposed in the rawest possible fashion to the entire world, over the gravest of accusations, with no definitive evidence apart from personal testimony to draw on, 36 years after an alleged crime took place. It was a grotesque political drama, in which everyone lost.
Both Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh have been traumatized and ill-served by the process. At the all-day Senate hearing, there was no real sifting of evidence about her allegation that he sexually assaulted her, because nothing but memories were on the table. (We still dont even know when or where the alleged attack happened.) Other witnesses were not called to testify, which they obviously should have been, if only to say (as they all have) that they had no memory of the event. So we were left to judge the credibility of two individuals, who both said they were 100 percent certain.
...
As the afternoon went on, I found my mood swinging back to Kavanaughs defense. At first, I was shocked by what seemed to me to be his shouting and belligerence. But then he drew me in. Of course he was angry. Wouldnt you be if you were innocent or had no idea where this allegation suddenly came from? He wasnt being accused of sexual harassment, or sexual abuse as an adult in a way he could have refuted or challenged. His long-lost teenage years as a hard-drinking jock were now under the microscope. Even his yearbook was being dissected. Stupid cruelties and brags from teenage boys were now being used to define his character, dismiss his record as a judge, his sterling references, his respected scholarship, his devoted family, his relationship with women in every capacity. He had to fend off new accusations, ever more grave and ever more vague.
And there were times, it seems to me, that he simply couldnt win. If he hadnt hired and mentored many women, it would be proof he was a misogynist and rapist. But the fact that he did hire and mentor many of them was also proof he was a misogynist and a rapist, who only picked the pretty ones. If he hadnt shown anger, he would have been obviously inhuman. When he did express rage
well, that was a disqualifying temperament for a judge. It didnt help that the Democrats made no pretense of having an open mind, or that any glimpse at mainstream media let alone media Twitter revealed that it had already picked a side. This was, for the major papers, especially the New York Times, a righteous battle against another white straight male, and the smug, snarky virtue-signaling on Twitter was in overdrive. Even Kavanaughs choking-up was mocked just another contemptible bro-crier.
...
At lunchtime, I thought he should withdraw. Ford was unforgettable, dispositive. But then the afternoon had me drifting back toward the Republicans. I doubt I am alone in this, just as I doubt my liberal friends understand how deeply theyve alienated so many with their reflexive prejudices. By dinnertime, I felt like Id vote for him, if I were a senator because I found the Democrats so nauseatingly priggish. Then I remembered I was against the Kavanaugh nomination for other reasons entirely: especially because of his deference to presidential power when we face a president who would dearly like to blow a giant hole in the rule of law. And since I couldnt in good faith choose between Ford and Kavanaugh about something that happened 36 years ago, I simply decided to put this accusation in a box. Ill make a judgment on what I can know, not on what I cannot possibly judge.
...
Thanks I am all in, thanks to Freepers...
He did say:
"PREPARE. RED OCTOBER."
That sounds confident to me.
Look at the slight delay as a DS "dead cat bounce".
RED OCTOBER makes SO much more sense to me now in the context of a red tsunami.
Thank you for catching me up on that wrt ms13. I came pretty late to this party.
I just checked LS’ twitter; it’s up but last twat was 18 hours ago.
Ummmm.
