Great picture of Lindsey. Lindsey has had a good couple of weeks.

Raising the MW to $15 per hour will mean employing fewer people and will make it harder for young first time workers to get a job if 16-year olds also have to be paid $15. Companies if forced to pay more won't necessarily increase their payroll expenditures. Many will find ways to reduce headcount or hours or other benefit costs. Low skilled workers will find employment tougher. Good for Amazon if they want to go to $15. I'm sure their calculus is that for a $15/hr wage they'll demand and retain the better performing people and that there is a return on the investment in their particular org.

They never expected an investigation to be ordered and were probably shocked when it was announced and that it would be limited in time and scope. Nothing done in Washington is limited in time and scope.

Her lawyers specifically negotiated the rules under which she would testify and they were not agreeable to long protracted lines of questioning. Grassley and DF agreed to the alternating format and the R's chose the prosecutor to be their shill attorney.

Rules that her lawyers wanted.

Why on earth would any credible witnesses hitch their wagon to Avenatti? If they're legit witnesses they have to know that associating with him sinks their credibility right out of the gate.

Because they refuse to pay for the wall!

What are the chances that Dr. Ford's schedule won't make her available for an interview for several days or a week or more?

I would argue that the control apparatus has only been damaged and remains mostly in place. It'll take many years of sustained effort to bring it down.

The miracles of modern medicine

Unless he craves the limelight enough and hates Trump and his party enough to torpedo Trump's re-election.

Fienstein you dumbass. At your age everything should be done in a hurry.

Not true. Messages were possibly sent before her story was public. It's likely BK knew the accusations were coming before the Ramirez reports came out because he learned about it through something other than a print or TV news story. He's kind of an insider on this whole deal.

Bills scouts must have determined that with some new coaching these guys could be good or they were only expected to be depth players. Personally I don't think the line is as bad as it may seem. When a defense doesn't respect your passing game, they can throw the kitchen sink at stopping the run and rushing the passer and that may be a contributing factor here. The packers brought pressure and the Bills didn't make them pay. Somehow it didn't seem to be in the game plan to run the ball much as the Bills passed the ball a good majority of the time even before the game was out of reach. You have to run the ball unless your passing game is superior. The Bills' passing game is anything but superior and when you can't run effectively everything gets harder offensively.

In Ford's mind, anything is possible.

Ford's end game has to be a civil suit, right? The Gofundme effort is the war chest for that. Not a bad gig for the attorney's who have to do a few weeks work so that they can access a 7 figure legal budget.

Need to do that. Absolute must.

Until the Bills can prodiuce an effective running game, they won't have much chance to win.

You have to admire Democrats and their unwavering commitment to their cause. Predictable but unwavering.

More like Booker and Harris. A lot of hot air coming from those 2.

Unlikely to happen. Most of the media has had their back all through this and will continue to. When the judge is confirmed, the narrative will simply be that the R's ran a sham investigation to give themselves cover and put an abuser of woman on the Supreme Court. That and the voting public is so loyal to whoever is their "team" that it takes a series of events larger than this to even move a small number of voters. It's much harder moving people from D to R because free stuff, attacking the white and the rich and the media's complicity make it a very heavy lift. It took 8 years of Obama and his crew continually !@#$ing up to elect Trump and to move the house and senate. Repubicans don't govern well enough to hold on to their seats. The pendulum shall swingeth back to the D's at some point in the not too distant future.

Y'all have a great time and Go Bills!

How on earth can someone think, write and click enter as Tom Arnold did here?

It''ll be pursued with the same vigor as was with Hillary. Oh and don't call it an investigation. It is the Kavanaugh matter.

The right way to do this might be to call in those that could have been witnesses and question them. There will be a cloud over the judge for a long time if he's confirmed or not confirmed. Better to get closer to the bottom of this even if it takes a month.
