Wow, Cruz tweeting this. How many txbills are out there to vote for Cruz??

It's Texas. Lots and lots of him exist there. I lived in that state for 10 years and lived in varying levels of rural/urban. I lived in towns as small as 505 people, to a city in the 70k range, to a huge city in Houston. Bill exists in all of those places in large numbers.

One positive in the discussion of whether the Supreme Court nominee assaulted someone is that Keith Ellison is getting asked some questions about the abuse claims two women have made against him.

This is nub of the issue, a lot of people don't care if he did it or not, they don't see a problem with it.

This is a really odd strategy. For a start it appear deeply weird to most people for a teenage boy to make, let alone keep for decades, a detailed high school calendar of events. Also will open up a whole new line of questioning if those calendars don’t include parties that list the other alleged witness Judge who appears to have referenced Kavanaugh in his own book. Even if he is totally innocent and he just missed off his calendar one unrelated party that the dems have a witness/photo of him at then his whole truthfulness will be questioned.

The problem is that if there are teenage boys in the US who keep detailed calendars / diaries then (a) they are probably Republican and (b) will probably become some form of lawyer.

Ha, true! And Kav has already demonstrated a questionable memory for pesky details (like having to mouth the name of the law firm his best friend has worked for several years as if he’d never heard of it before) so a detailed calendar/diary might be helpful

I’m guessing in reality it has some useful info like he was in France for the whole summer, a broken arm or something similar.

Is there a Republican that isn't a horrendous scumbag?

“Senior Republican staffers also learned of the allegation last week and, in conversations with The New Yorker, expressed concern about its potential impact on Kavanaugh’s nomination. Soon after, Senate Republicans issued renewed calls to accelerate the timing of a committee vote.”
