OMG, Trump Got His Advice on ISIS and No Korea From Kid Rock!

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Kid Rock, who's real name is "Ritchie"( I know, I know!) reveals to Tucker Carlson, the Kremlin's favorite American "news" commentator, that Trump called him for advice on how to proceed with both ISIS and North Korea! 
"I'm like, what?" Kid Rock remembered thinking. "I don't think I'm qualified to answer this." No shit!

The "moron" here is someone who thinks questions from the GOP such as "what is a woman" are somehow legitimate queries of supreme court nominee. 
Like Mitt Romney said after listening to the nonsense from the GOP circus performers:

“It struck me that it was off course, meaning the attacks were off course that came from some,” Romney told The Washington Post on Tuesday. “And there is no ‘there’ there.”

"The White House is targeting Republican Senate Judiciary Committee members who went after Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson this week for her sentences in some child pornography cases, saying those same members backed judges nominated by then-President Donald Trump who also imposed sentences below those sought by prosecutors or suggested by guidelines."
"Tellingly, the same GOP senators who have leveled these smears voted for Trump-nominated judges who sentenced the exact same crime in the same fashion -- below guidelines that are widely considered out of date and below sentences sought by the prosecution, as is the norm," White House spokesman Andrew Bates said Thursday."
"These members are not only smearing Judge Jackson -- they are excoriating their own records," Bates said. "Quantitatively, Judge Jackson departs from the guidelines by less than the average judge."

The Senate is set to confirm Judge Jackson

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation as the first Black woman on the Supreme Court was assured on Monday, when the Republican senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah joined their colleague Senator Susan Collins of Maine in pledging their support. Their backing gave Judge Jackson’s 50 Democratic supporters a vote cushion and some bipartisan bragging rights.
Well, there's Marjorie Taylor Greene's "commentary" on those Republicans voting for confirmation:

I'm sure Davis carefully weighed the expert commentary of such unbiased sources as Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Lindsey Graham before arriving at his conclusions. Of course, this only occurred after his careful review of equally unbiased multimedia sources such Breitbart, The Townhall Tipsheet, Fox News, and similar epitomes of unvarnished journalistic endeavors...

"Babs" and I didn't agree with a lot of what was being posted at the time of his participation as much of it concerned the war in Iraq. But we did agree with the presence of American forces in Afghanistan and I recall he even refuted a mighty righty on the forum for stating that I didn't support our effort there.

Manafort Removed From Plane

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"Public information officer for the Miami-Dade Police Department Detective Alvaro Zabaleta confirmed to The Associated Press that Manafort had been removed from an Emirates Airline flight to Dubai on Sunday night."
"Mr. Manafort was denied travel by [Customs and Border Protection] on scene and his US Passport was revoked and he could not take his flight."
"Manafort was previously the campaign chairman for former President Trump's 2016 campaign. In 2018, he was convicted on eight counts of bank and tax fraud by a Virginia jury. The case against Manafort had to do in part with whether he engaged in a scheme to avoid paying taxes on income he received for working as a political consultant for pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine."

Maybe he could complain like Ted Cruz and throw an entitled tantrum...
