Donald Trump (r) traveled to Springfield, Missouri last night to speak at a campaign rally on behalf of Josh Hawley (r), who is attempting to climb the ladder in his challenge to Senator Claire McCaskill (D) in the November general election:

Trump urges Missouri supporters to back Josh Hawley ‘because you’re voting for me’

Yep, he just wants another sock puppet in the United States Senate.

Tantrum

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Senator Feinstein and the Democrats held the letter for months, only to release it with a bang after the hearings were OVER – done very purposefully to Obstruct & Resist & Delay. Let her testify, or not, and TAKE THE VOTE!
10:29 AM – 21 Sep 2018

In 2016 Merrick Garland’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court languished before the republican controlled U.S. Senate without any hearings and without any votes for 293 days.

Previously:

Clueless (September 21, 2018)

A sinking land yacht (September 21, 2018)

What fresh Hell awaits us on this 606th day of Trump?

We knew before Day One.

This morning, via Twitter:

pourmecoffee @pourmecoffee
Goofus and Gallant
Goofus releases classified documents to discredit investigations of himself
Gallant releases his taxes to build trust in himself
6:38 AM – 18 Sep 2018

Goofus is compromising methods and sources, eh? Why are we not surprised?

Claire McCaskill (D) has got to be the luckiest politician on the planet

Her political opponents always seem to suffer from such bad timing.

On Friday:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
US Senate candidate, MO
Our first media debate is today – @clairecmc still hasn’t hopped on my debate trailer, but like I’ve said, I’ll debate her anytime, anywhere. Follow @TeamHawley and @MissouriGOP for updates during the event! #MOSen
2:30 PM – 14 Sep 2018

Oh, so now it’s a trailer? Got schooled, eh?

And then, today, via Jason Rosenbaum:

Jason Rosenbaum @jrosenbaum
Here’s @HawleyMO on Kavanaugh:

Response from Attorney General Josh Hawley:

“I’m concerned that Senator Feinstein and the Democrats waited until the last hour to bring this 30-year old allegation to light.

“The Democrats have played politics with this entire process and were opposed to Brett Kavanaugh before he was even nominated. They don’t care about the truth.

“I believe allegations of sexual misconduct should never be disregarded. That’s why it’s important that both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh be heard immediately and under oath.”

3:48 PM – 17 Sep 2018

Just perfect.

Oh, by the way, Merrick Garland.

The GOP plan for universal access to affordable health care: if you ever get sick, just die already

Today, via Twitter:

Carolyn McMahon @cmc21
I asked why we haven’t heard an answer on #Kavanaugh yet. @clairecmc asks Missourians to trust her process, and says when she gives her opinion it will have an explanation to how she arrived at it.

Um, let’s see.

He was nominated by a self-serving moron. For a reason.

The hearings were rushed through at the direction of the majority party.

He’s a partisan hack.

He lied to the Senate. More than once.

We don’t have access to his complete public service record. Neither do you.

Putting this partisan hack on the U.S. Supreme Court will affect the country for at least the next three decades.

He has no intent to ever understand basic reproductive biology.

As much as he tried to mask a predilection for bad manners and a lack of empathy, he has shown us who he really is.
