Senate Dems say Kavanaugh's performance raises questions about his judicial independence.

An absolute MUST read NYT fact check of Kavanaughs testimony — which leaves little doubt he was being knowingly dishonest in his sworn testimony about his days as a young man: nytimes.com/2018/09/28/us/…
Something to consider as Republicans say they believe Kavanaugh.
He has been before the Judiciary Committee four times, and each time, he appears to have lied about crucial issues.

After 18 rounds on his Virginia golf course Trump and his motorcade headed back to the @WhiteHouse.
He will be in Wheeling, West Virginia for a rally this evening.

The FBI has not been permitted to investigate the claims of Julie Swetnick. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
WSJ confirms NBC report that the White House has directed the FBI to look into the allegations of Ford and Ramirez, but not the allegations of Julie Swetnick.
This. Is. A. Cover-Up.
wsj.com/articles/white…
It’s not just that they aren’t allowed to investigate the third accuser’s claims.
They also won’t look into his drinking at Yale or pull Mark Judge’s employment records or take other basic investigative steps. Unless something changes.
nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
In the end, three senators, Flake, Murkowski and Collins, have it in their power to set the terms of the investigation. Not satisfied? They can vote no until they are.

TRUMP: "Honestly, the Democrats are a disgrace. And the number one enabler of the Democrats is the fake news media, right back there."
Crowd responds with boos and "CNN sucks!" chants.
Within 60 seconds, Trump calls the media "the enemy of the people" and uses a racist slur against Elizabeth Warren, calling her "Pocahontas"
TRUMP: "Democrat-controlled Senate will try to take away your 2nd amendment. They want to take over healthcare & destroy it. They want to make us Venezuela. That's what they want to do. You will have Venezuela, big version. Erase America's borders."
TRUMP smears Democrats with assertions that are the opposite of true: "It's the party of crime is what it is... Democrats want to raid Medicare and destroy Social Security." #WarIsPeace
Trump, who has worked tirelessly to strip legal protections from people with preexisting conditions, says "I will always fight for and always protect patients with preexisting conditions... all of the Republicans are coming into that position now."
TRUMP on SAUDI ARABIA: "I love Saudi Arabia. They are great."

"Why are we subsidizing their military?"
Trump says this -- earnestly! -- about Kim Jong Un: "We went back and forth, then we fell in love. He wrote me beautiful letters. And they are great letters. We fell in love."
"We. Fell. In. Love." Let that set in.
