Washington Post - Opinions - We need to stay angry about Kavanaugh
(extracts)
The Supreme Court’s legitimacy is in tatters. Conservative forces in the country, led by the Republican Party, have completed a judicial coup, decades in the making.
Republicans rushed through Brett M. Kavanaugh’s confirmation to avoid the possible consequences of an election.
They aborted a full investigation because they feared what it might find.
They made themselves complicit in a presidential attack on Christine Blasey Ford, a brave woman who asked only that her case against Kavanaugh be taken seriously. ...
In the process, the White House turned the FBI investigation of Ford’s claims and Kavanaugh’s (questionable) credibility into a whitewash. ...
A generations-long conservative majority on the court has been cemented in place by a political minority.
Kavanaugh was named by a president who won 46 percent of the popular vote and confirmed by senators representing 44 percent of the population.
When you lack a majority, controlling the branch of government not subject to the voters is vital to working your will.
Democracy is all that opponents of the coup have left. In next month’s elections, the party responsible for this travesty must be punished.
The idea that “both parties are equally to blame” is an unadulterated falsehood.

CNS News - Extra! Extra! 'Devil's Triangle' is a Drinking Game, Confirm Kavanaugh's Classmates
For "Devil's Triangle," Kavanaugh explained that it is a drinking game involving three glasses, placed on a table like a triangle.
One person tries to bounce a quarter into one of the cups and if it goes in, whoever is sitting closest to that cup has to drink the beer inside it.
The Urban Dictionary offers another explanation ...

Just posting this because Trump still likes her 75% as much as he did a few days ago.
Oh wait - he like her 25% less.

This is one of several current Kavanaugh cartoons using the same shredder metaphor.

Politico - Trump, no longer ratings gold, loses his prime-time spot on Fox News
In a crucial period with the midterms less than a month away, some in the White House are worried that the president is losing a megaphone to his base.
As he’s ramped up his rally schedule ahead of the midterms, viewership numbers for the raucous prime-time events have been roughly similar to - sometimes dipping below - Fox News’ regular programming, and the network has recently stopped airing most evening events in full. ...
A source close to Trump described the declining coverage as a “huge loss on the state and local level for Republicans because they’re certainly not going to get any of that on other cable networks.”
“If they stop taking them completely, that might create a problem,” this person said. “Trump is a massive consumer of the media, so he may be disappointed.” ...
Little Donald just hates being ignored ...
