budaatum:
People still get to have rights to their opinions, whether one likes what they say or not?

Do you know many times we have overstated that fact to Lucasbabboon in many pages past since time memorial?, and him still dey form dumb and dumber? He is the reason why this thread has become known for weirdest insults Instead of normal civil discourse. At least I commend you for pointing it to him.

Brett Kavanaugh has the votes, he will be confirmed tomorrow and the democrats can wail all they want. These nonsense by democrats has energised the Rebuplican base and they will come out again in their numbers to kick democrats asses again in November

I see riots just like the aftermath of Nov 8 2016

Headboy2000:
Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed. the huge loss the republican party will get in the Nov 6 elections. Most people will vote to spite Donald Trump and the GOP.

Red Wave

Happening: KAVANAUGH-CALYPSE Approaches. To be Confirmed OR Not to be Confirmed?. Hit Like if he'll be confirmed, hit share if he won't be Confirmed

Then every man who drank in the eighties shouldn't be qualified for any post if we follow your reasoning since there is no way they couldn't have sexually assaulted girls , but since there is no way you would have known every single person who got drunk in the eighties or what they did when they were drunk, I will rather advise you not to generalize. The fact that people you know are doing something or that it is been done in movies doesn't mean that everybody else is doing it.

I didn't even bother to respond to his comments because if this same logic is applied, even the liberals themselves will fall foul of it. Nearly everyone will be vulnerable. They don't know when they shoot themselves in the foot or even chase their own tails.

Useless Article, Full of hate...Just another Trump-Hater Spotted

wirinet:
An FBI investigation that the accusers and key witnesses were not questioned? What kind of investigation is that?
At the rate trump and his white supremacist, misogynistic and nationalistic supporters are going, the US might be pushed into a second civil war. The difference being that this time, lots of blacks would fight on the side of the confederates (slave owners).

Sorry! the public had already heard from both sides when they testified. The Democrats should even be thanking the FBI for not questioning Ford any further cos we all know her stories have been changing ever since the allegations came out, and I don't think they can hold up. She has already perjured herself.

itchie:
The Democratic party cry babies have started whining all over again after reading the FBI report. Kavanaugh has had seven background investigations by the FBI and these losers are still crying that it's not thorough enough. Trump says that even if the FBI does 100 background checks on Kavanaugh, these losers will still not be satisfied and he is right

I no fit laugh... Chai!

Senator Feinstein on the FBI report of Kavanaugh Investigation: "We have seen even more press reports of witnesses who wanted to speak with the FBI but were not interviewed"

Oliver Twist: I want more... Never enough for the old lady. Time's up!

stanech:
Obama: I used illegal drugs in my teens and I got into fights

Media butt kissers: We love you Barack, we have thrills up our legs

Kavanaugh: I drank in my teens and college

Same Media loons: You’re a serial sex abuser, gang rapist, and a helpless drunk with a bad temperament.

Like the old Seven Up drink Ad, The Difference is Clear

Boom!! Kavanaugh's Accuser, Ford, had her whole testimony destroyed when her Ex-boyfriend hinted that she may have perjured herself while under oath. Despite Ford initially testifying that she didn't help, prep or assist anyone on how to pass a polygraph test, and also claiming she had Fear of Flying, her ex-boyfriend now asserted that she indeed helped some other folks on passing a polygraph test, and also that she had flown so many times via aeroplane to numerous destinations, contrary to her earlier testimony.
**What a bombshell!!! I've always believed that there's nothing hidden that won't be brought to light eventually. When you expose yourself to the public and you bring false accusation against an innocent person while at the same time claiming you "don't remember", well somebody somewhere who remembers will expose you to your shame.

stanech:
If getting drunk in college turned Kavanaugh into a gang rapist, what did all that coke Obama was snorting make HIM do?

Lol...Exactly! And To think that they dug out his old letter during his school years was quite creepy. These folks have no shame at all. Don Lemon of CNN was literally drunk in one of the new years' eve, did that disqualify him or caused him to lose his job? Can't they see that the pendulum swings both ways? Do unto others what you would have others do unto you.

The U.S First Lady, Melania Trump, Makes Major Style Statement in Ghana

First Lady Melania Trump made a major style statement in Ghana on Tuesday as she met with schoolchildren during a stop on her Africa tour.
Stepping off her plane in Ghana, Mrs. Trump looked chic and minimal in a striped shirt dress in burgundy and white by Celine, a brand that was formerly headed by Phoebe Philo, the most copied designer of the 21st century.
Mrs. Trump’s wearing of Philo’s Celine design is a major salute to the renowned designer, hinting that the former Slovenian-born model will miss Celine’s days of elegant minimalism.
The First Lady paired the striped shirt dress with a pair of stark white Manolo Blahniks, a color that stands out against her dark, European complexion.

White House Smashes New York Times for Story on Fred Trump’s Taxes
https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/10/02/white-house-smashes-new-york-times-for-story-on-fred-trumps-taxes/

The White House criticized a story the New York Times published Tuesday about the president’s father, Fred Trump, and his tax filings when he was a real estate mogul.

“Fred Trump has been gone for nearly twenty years and it’s sad to witness this misleading attack against the Trump family by the failing New York Times,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement sent to reporters.

Sanders accused the New York Times and other media of losing their credibility for hit pieces about members of Trump’s family.

“They are consumed with attacking the president and his family 24/7 instead of reporting the news,” Sanders said, noting that the Times rarely reported anything positive about the president.

Trump mocked the New York Times on Tuesday night at a campaign rally in Mississippi, specifically calling out one of their reporters for laughing in 2016 when a Democrat warned of Trump winning the Republican primary.

“All my life, I have had very few stories, but some on The New York Times,” Trump said in a September press conference. “Now I average about three or four a day … they’re all negative. No matter what I do, they’re all negative. But you know what? That’s okay. I still love the paper.” - President Trump on the New York Times

Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father - NYT

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/trump-engaged-in-suspect-tax-schemes-as-he-reaped-riches-from-his-father/ar-BBNRbPM?ocid=spartanntp

President Trump participated in dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud, that greatly increased the fortune he received from his parents, an investigation by The New York Times has found.

Mr. Trump won the presidency proclaiming himself a self-made billionaire, and he has long insisted that his father, the legendary New York City builder Fred C. Trump, provided almost no financial help.

But The Times’s investigation, based on a vast trove of confidential tax returns and financial records, reveals that Mr. Trump received the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father’s real estate empire, starting when he was a toddler and continuing to this day.

Much of this money came to Mr. Trump because he helped his parents dodge taxes. He and his siblings set up a sham corporation to disguise millions of dollars in gifts from their parents, records and interviews show. Records indicate that Mr. Trump helped his father take improper tax deductions worth millions more. He also helped formulate a strategy to undervalue his parents’ real estate holdings by hundreds of millions of dollars on tax returns, sharply reducing the tax bill when those properties were transferred to him and his siblings.

Nice one from the failing NY Times...Now let's arrest and impeach President Trump

Trump reaped millions in shady tax schemes from father's business, report says; NY Tax Department 'reviewing' allegations

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-reaped-millions-in-shady-tax-schemes-from-fathers-business-report-says-ny-tax-department-reviewing-allegations

Tax officials in New York are "reviewing" allegations in a lengthy New York Times report Tuesday that claimed President Trump received at least $413 million in today’s money from his father’s New York real estate business, with much of the money coming through questionable tax schemes in the 1990s.

The president declined the newspaper's request for comment, but a lawyer representing Trump, Charles J. Harder, provided a statement to Fox News on Tuesday that blasted the paper’s reporting as “highly defamatory” and “extremely inaccurate.”

"The Tax Department is reviewing the allegations in the NYT article and is vigorously pursuing all appropriate avenues of investigation," a department spokesman told Fox News.

According to confidential tax returns and financial records obtained by the newspaper, Trump and his siblings set up a phony corporation in an effort to disguise millions of dollars in gifts from their parents. Records examined by the Times also indicate that Trump helped his father take millions of dollar in improper tax deductions and formulated a strategy to undervalue his parents’ real estate holdings in order to reduce the tax bill when the properties were transferred.

In total, Trump’s parents, Fred and Mary Trump, transferred over $1 billion to their children. The money would have created a tax bill of at least $550 million given the 55 percent tax rate then imposed on gifts and inheritances, but the family only paid $52.2 million, tax records indicate.

During Trump’s campaign for the Oval Office, the then-candidate faced a swath of criticism for not releasing copies of his tax returns. The former businessman refrained from making his filings public, saying they were under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and said he’d release them once the review was complete.

Even after winning the White House, Trump continued to face pressure to release his returns, including from protesters across the nation on Tax Day in 2017.

...no wonder, Donald Trump hasn't and won't release his tax returns...

Bla bla bla Back to Tax returns

itchie:
Look, I'm not interested in unnecessary argument this morning. Like I said before, goodluck to you guys in trying to use these as an argument for perjury. Perjury is a federal crime you know. If he committed perjury, he will be prosecuted for it. But I've seen all the funny evidence been put out by you guys and I can assure you that no case of perjury can be brought against him on those basis. Only a lunatic prosecutor will stake his or her reputation to bring these laughable case before a judge

Bottom Line is, they're desperate for anything! Just about anything to latch on to. You can literally see them shifting the goal post, In fact, I can both see and hear the sound of the goal post being shifted

Trump approves FBI expansion of Kavanaugh background check
President Trump has instructed White House Counsel Don McGahn to allow the FBI to speak with anyone the bureau deems appropriate in connection with the supplemental background investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh
During a Rose Garden news conference Monday morning, Trump stressed that he wanted the probe to wrap up quickly and called the allegations "so unfair" to Kavanaugh and his family. But he added that "my White House will do whatever the senators want."

President Trump had announced a New NAFTA deal called The USMCA (The United States Mexico Canada Agreement). Another Win for Trump as he keeps a major Campaign promise.

Kanye West delivers pro-Trump speech on 'Saturday Night Live,' receives boos from audience
Kanye West delivered an impromptu speech defending his support for President Trump at the end of his “Saturday Night Live” appearance, receiving boos from the audience and causing some of the cast members to shake their heads in disapproval.

“I wanna cry right now, black man in America, supposed to keep what you’re feelin’ inside right now…” West says with a melody playing in the background. “The blacks want always Democrats…you know it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare… does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan.”

In another clip West continues, “There’s so many times I talk to a white person and [they] say, ‘How could you like Trump, he’s racist?’ Well, if I was concerned about racism I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.”

When the Left can't win on ideas, they resort to DESTROYING good people’s reputations and ATTACKING the character of anyone who dares to stand up for him

End the sham.
Confirm Kavanaugh now!

After dragging Kavanaugh through the mud using their own standard of false accusation they turn around and then say he's unfit for the SCOTUS based on how they treated him Let the FBI finish the investigation and then you'll see how Democrats would react to it, it may shock you but at the same time remember (for them) it's just a game of delay.

Anyone else noticed that Mrs Ford was laughing and smiling throughout the whole hearings even when she was questioned by Mitchell?

LordReed:
Search warrant for what? Ford didn't accuse Kavanaugh of rape so what would they have need of a search for?

How does a person who strenuously voices his own innocence also not want an investigation?

Since July when the demorats had this letter... No call for Investigation. Why did they wait till the final moments in which he was to be confirmed?

coluka:
any kind of Sexual assault is a crime, it doesn't have to be rape, you should ask bill Cosby and Harvey Winston about that. The prosecutor is simply saying that if Ford had presented the same evidence she did today to a criminal prosecutor, it wouldn't have been enough to prosecute Kavanaugh or even get a warrant against him

True

coluka:
And even more bad news for liberals, the female sexual assault attorney that questioned Ms Ford at the hearings told GOP senators that based on the evidence presented by Ford, she wouldn't have been able to even get a search warrant against Kavanaugh talk more of prosecuting him. How else could it have turned out? This woman named three other people to be present when the assault occurred and all of them including her own longtime friend said it didn't happen! So we have four people including her own friend on one side saying the same thing and only Ms Ford on the other side saying something different. The balance of evidence is all in Kavanaugh's favour

Talking about bad news... The most baddest of all bad news to liberals is that President Trump will still appoint at least 3 more Supreme Court justices

LordReed:
LoL! Did you see it yourself or are you relying on twitter reports?

Kavanaugh was ranting about his innocence but when asked if he thinks it would be the best decision for the committee to ask for an FBI investigation, he lost his voice. LMFAO!

You must have been high on Origin Through out the hearings.

Abbeybailey:
It's amazing how people that have no clue of what Americans go through have the highest junk and garbage to post. Obama was a man of high intellect, grace, humility and wisdom unlike the scandal plagued, thrice married and serial cheater who cheated on all his three wives. The worst part of it is his racism and not single one of his ill informed Nazi boot lickers here on Nairaland can go to the US Embassyin Abuja or the Consulate in Lagos and come out with a Visa. They even have a better chance of obtaining the elusive visa when Obama was in charge. The brainfarts here don't even realize a guy that call their country shiiithole don't even want them in America. Browning of America is the buzz word the right wing racist loonies have been spouting since I was a little boy and Trump is carrying the torch for his Nazi supporters. Nov 6 on my mind and not single one of the loud mouth rabble rousers on Nairaland can say that. Our nightmare will end one day and it's gonna start from Nov 6 when the judgement comes in.

Lest we forget and pretend it never happened, The Hawain Democratic Senator had told the American men to "shut up.... " Lucasbabboon I guess that included you. So shut up and fly straight

...Donald Trump appointed both Session as AJ and Rosenstein as DAJ...also both of them as staunch Republicans...unfortunately for DT can't fire both of them now...unless they resign themselves..because the Republicans in Congress will not be pressured to vote on new appointees until after the mid term elections...

It's already obvious that Sessions will likely step aside after the mid terms. And just so you don't distort the facts, President Trump can fire both (if he wants) It's still within his prerogative as President.
