actually no, you're right

nothing to see here don't mind me

[kingv]

How do you actually get the tweets to show inline?

I can’t figure out why mine never seem to work correctly.

Edit: maybe it needs to be in a quote?

[Joe Molotov]

No, Judge Kavanaugh doesn’t post in this thread.

You need to stop the URL after the tweet ID number. The "?s=21" bit, to take the post upward with a failed Twitter embedding, needs to be stripped off.

Thanks!

Brett is now saying he “wasn’t perfect in high school” and “drank beer with friends”. Wasn’t he literally on the news two days ago saying the opposite?

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, that's some pretty major stuff.

Also, I sent Nintex to his room for a day.

[agrajag]

Anyone see the pic where crosses lut PARTY written in black ink with a blue pen on his calendar? And you can still see what it says?

Who hasn’t had to walk a few things back after turning in your 35 year-old daily planner to the Senate Judiciary Committee? As you can see, it doesn’t list “attempted rape” anywhere, don’t worry about the rest.

[agrajag]

I better hope for Michael that he's right because 4chan keeps the evidence. 

Reposting for posterity. Should be added to Nintex's greatest hits, next to "the madman has done it"

[Kara]

Leper Nintex.
Free etiolate.
Icon Creepy Stalker.

[kingv]

I don’t think Avenatti should be President... but as a lawyer he tends to bring receipts.

He’s a showboater, but I’m not sure he’s bad for his clients either. Like, if you look at Stormy Daniels case with her perspective, she’s come out ahead. She may settle, and get minimal winnings from the case, but she’s now more famous than she ever was before, and widely believed. The actual case is just a formality at this point.

[Brehvolution]

Kavanumbnuts going of state tv saying he was a virgin in high school and years after might turn out to be one of the best self owns in recent memory.

[james]

I love how the idiots at poliera spent a day repeating "slimy lawyer," literal right-wing propoganda, simply because hes not hillary clinton

Dude is GOAT.

[james]

Dude went to a public high school outside of St Louis, so unlike 99% of the Democrat leaders, he can actually pull the privileged elite card.

Unlike fraud Gillibrand

"1984, she graduated from Emma Willard School, an all women's private school"

[shosta]

[brawndolicious]

Trump's surprise press conference is pretty rough so far.

[agrajag]

I'm tired of all the winning.

[shosta]

I caught five seconds of Trump's UN speech and I actually did feel a pang of anger that my president was up there saying "we reject globalism". At the UN. United Nations.

[kingv]

There’s a reason he didn’t give a solo press conference for almost two years.

[kingv]

He’s gotta be about 2 minutes away from just walking away. Lol

[kingv]

I hope he starts doing these every week. He’ll be gone in 6 months.

[Mandark]

All these new accusations have made something very clear: Kavanaugh's doppelganger is on a rampage and someone needs to find and stop that guy.

[kingv]

Pretty fucked up they let that guy teach middle school.

[agrajag]

I hope he starts doing these every week. He’ll be gone in 6 months.

Bro, he could have a full on schizophrenic LSD trip on live television and Ryan, Lindsay and Mitch will rationalize it somehow.

[Boogie]

holy shit, this presser is still going on? 

[seagrams hotsauce]

this is incredible. Trump just pulled an 'i don't know her' about Kavanaugh lol

[Mandark]

I get why Republicans need to project a certain image of Trump, but can you imagine having to act like he's smart and sane? That seems like it would be exhausting.

[james]

Interesting article

“I remember thinking, ‘Ugh, this is bad’”: Scenes from teenage party life in the ’80s

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/i-remember-thinking-ugh-this-is-bad-scenes-from-teenage-party-life-in-the-80s/2018/09/26/dba546e2-c0d7-11e8-be77-516336a26305_story.html?utm_term=.792a22f3f86e

[kingv]

It’s interesting the amount that he is treated as “not quite President “.

Like they try to hide him, ignore him, and build up a pseudo-image of him that would be blown apart pretty quickly if they uncaged him to give a presser once a week.

He says a lot of dumb shit at rallies, but those aren’t really covered anymore.

[Mandark]

Senate probing new allegation of misconduct against Kavanaugh

[agrajag]

Well Miss Lindsay did say if you're a sexual predator you don't just do it once and stop..

[james]

1998 huh?

LOCK HIM UP

[kingv]

“The remedy for speech that is false is speech that is true justice Anthony Kennedy

“Hit ‘Er in the shitter” Justice Brett Kavanaugh

[james]

At the rate things are escalating, there will be a video of him raping someone in an alley by Sunday night

[Mandark]

Been pretty remarkable seeing how many GOP politicians and pundits have talked about the accusations as if they're clearly, undoubtedly false. Along with various Republican senators saying they'd keep pushing Kavanaugh through, which carries that implication.

After the last year of #metoo and everything that's happened, they don't even feel obligated to pretend that this is serious to them.

[agrajag]

They're willing to sacrifice some House seats for a lifetime SC confirmation.

Wtf? He really does find a way to out do himself every day.

[Brehvolution]

Yet he says China is rigging the midterms against him.

[Great Rumbler]

If you can ignore everything in this record, look in [sic] an allegation that’s 35 years old, that’s uncertain in time, please, date, and no corroboration—if that’s enough for you, god help us all as Republicans. ‘Cuz this happens to us, it never happens to them.

Graham then issued a bizarre threat, saying, “Let me tell you my Democratic friends—if this is the new norm, you’d better watch out for your nominees.”

Somebody find Linsdey his fainting couch.

Kavanough does remind me of an Eastbound and Down character.

[Mandark]

Did that dude seriously say he never blacked out, he just "fell asleep"?

[Dickie Dee]

Leahy asks Kavanaugh if the character “Bart O’Kavanaugh” who appears in Mark Judge’s memoirs refers to the nominee.

[Brehvolution]

Blackout brett so triggered rn.

[TakingBackSunday]

Still going to be confirmed.  Fuck this country.

[Mandark]

The idea of American meritocracy taking a real beating today.

[Dickie Dee]

uh oh - Lindsay's hitting the fainting couch

[Stro]

This entire thing since Kav started has been the most absurd theater, even by modern US politics standards

[Brehvolution]

His unhinged, partisan screed should be more damaging to him than anything else that happened today.

gop doesn't care because that is just what a normal conversation sounds like to them.

[Mandark]

Kavanaugh admits that "Beach Week Ralph Club" is a reference to throwing up, but that it's cause of his "weak stomach," not from drinking too much.

Of course it was from drinking, IT WAS BEACH WEEK. What's the alternative, he ate too much funnel cake? Nobody who went to high school in the DMV could pretend to believe him right now. I'm irrationally irritated by this.
