Lindsey Graham says: Sen. Whitehouse came to LG and told him about the alleged "boat gang rape" charge. LG took him to the F-I and then the whole thing quickly fell apart.

ROFL!

So I was trying to find something to break the steady stream of "freak-show" news re the confirmation hearings. Staring at slow-mo popcorn, which does help, just may not be enough. If this is true for others, I also recommend the quick little video below.

4 minute video featuring General Mattis. The video started with his explaining to the audience he'd just been told he'd only time for one more question. Mattis said, "But since I outrank them, if someone's got a burnin' one, we'll do it." The audience laughed.

The questioner started by noting the starkly one-sided nature of the sacrifices made by the military which benefit civilians who make no comparable sacrifice. He asked what Mattis wanted to see happen on the part of the public in order for them to help share the burden currently born solely by the military.

I found Mattis' response very uplifting. The overall point of his answer was identified in the title of the video:Gen Mattis on Why Only Military Should Carry All Burdens & Hardships 4 CiviLians

I found Mattis' response inspiring and the cause of even more gratitude for those who serve in our military. Gratitude for some of our blessings is helping me take the edge off the freakish happenings in D.C. :D

Oh, great. Grassley has entertained the enemies of justice for so long that they have now had time to dig up enough “victims” that, as expected, the first Republican, Walter Jones, is also calling for an FBI investigation and questioning why not a “ten day delay”. Isn’t that great.

Kavanaugh is so cooked.
