A dispatch from the universe that is *not* being covered on Kavanaugh... I talked to roughly a dozen conservative women activists who are spitting mad about what's happening to Brett Kavanaugh:
theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
I'll share some of the quotes from these conservative activists here:

“Honestly, I don’t think I have ever been so angry in all of my adult life."

theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
From a GOP leader in West Virginia:

“I’ve got women in my church who were not politically active at all who were incensed with this."

theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
From a field organizer in Indiana, on the way Kavanaugh is persuading voters to commit to voting R in the upcoming Senate race:

"This is one of the best things that could happen to us.”

theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
From a political consultant in Arkansas, who is just not convinced about Ford's story:

“It doesn’t matter to me if it’s Bill Clinton or Brett Kavanaugh ... We want to make sure that sexual predators are dealt with.”

Point is: There's more nuance among the conservative women who support Kavanaugh than some have acknowledged.

Also, this:

“The anchors … were just praising this woman like she was the next Rosa Parks or something. I mean, I was screaming at the TV.”

A few observations from Jerusalem today, where I watched the jubilant festivities around the U.S. embassy opening while watching reports of intense violence in Gaza: [1/x]
theatlantic.com/international/…
1. The Jerusalem embassy opening is just one more entry into a week--a lifetime--of wrestling over the narrative of Israel, and of this city. [2/x]
theatlantic.com/international/…
2. Israelis don't care that much. They had Yom Yerushalayim yesterday, the celebration of Jewish reentry into the Old City and other parts of Jerusalem in 1967. [3/x]

#Kavanaugh tweet storm beginning now:

1/
Today’s confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is the most significant judicial victory for conservatives of my lifetime. All conservatives should thank @SenMajLdr & @ChuckGrassley for their extraordinary leadership through a grueling battle.

2/
Moving the court from 5-4 liberal to 5-4 conservative will have sweeping ramifications for the country. Most importantly, it will restore the rule of law & the Constitution. Democrat efforts to end run state legislatures, Congress & the executive branch will now be fruitless.

Let’s break down some this #Kavanaugh bullshit down and have a little fun in the process - although I'm afraid my descriptions may be a little dark and stormy at times.

<I hope you will enjoy this thread>
2) First, can we all agree that while people are able to change their lives, most of us have our basic character established by the time we are 18 years of age? (And probably earlier than that.) Yeah sure. One can break the mold and change dramatically, but most of us don’t.
3) Given that as a truism, let us compare Merrick Garland’s year book to Brett Kavanaugh’s. Garland's shows a studious guy on the honor roll and student council. While Kavanaugh is absorbed with boofing, devil’s triangle and FFFF (Find em, feel em, f*ck em and forget em).

DOUBLE STANDARDS RANT

Y'all Libs call Trump "literally Hitler" then beg him to take our guns!

Trump is called "RACIST" but when minorities support him they are called UNCLE TOM!

Y'all Libs call Trump a "Dictator" and then call for
Socialism
Y'all Libs Demand men be allowed in women's bathrooms and then you yell sexual assault when you see a man's penis on a college campus

Y'all Libs accuse Honorable Men of gang rape
And then stand in the streets butt ass naked screaming with your pussy's
You deny Due Process when it comes to honorable men. (#Kavanaugh) but silence victims when there is medical records videos and police reports

THREAD: #Kavanaugh was an objectively-terrible witness. He was obtuse. He was evasive. He lost his cool. He, at best, was extremely loose with verifiable truths.

How could he be SOOOO BAD, right?

I'll tell you how he could be so bad. Because "Judge Kavanaugh"...

1/
... is not, and has never been, the type of "Judge" most think of and, frankly, the same is true of him as an attorney.

Yeah, he has a Bar card. Yeah, he wears a black robe.

But here is a question that no Senator asked but I wish one had...

2/
"Judge, how many TRIALS have you participated in as a judge, attorney, or law clerk?"

Would you believe me that the answer is likely way lower than his age at the time when Dr. Ford alleges he assaulted her?

Well... it definitely is. Lemme explain.

I would like to offer up a game theoretic perspective on why leadership feels that the nomination of #Kavanaugh must be protected at any expense (even the possibility of taking a hammering in the midterm elections) and why #ChristineBlaseyFord’s life must be destroyed.

Thread.
I apologize to those who see this as obvious, but it seems to me that it warrants being clearly spelled out.
The first thing to note is that no one is convinced that #Kavanaugh is of good moral character in the treatment of women. In a single interaction, the Nash Equilibrium is to withdraw the nomination, even at the expense of losing the opportunity to put their guy on the bench.

Release the #Kavanaugh emails

JL:”Grassley, says they are producing the records required by law under the PRA
Durbin reminds him that they've actually circumvented that law & the process is being run by Kavanaugh's close friend & former employee, Bill Burck.”
⭐️LodeStar⭐️

Sen. Durbin:”Between 2001 and 2003, Republican Senate staffers hacked into and stole 4,670 files on controversial Bush judicial nominees from 6 Democrats, including me.

This scandal amounted to a digital Watergate, not unlike Russia’s hacking of the DNC.”
