GOP Pushes for Kavanaugh Vote After FBI Report: A Closer Look- Late Night with Seth Meyers
• GOP Pushes for Kavanau...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth - Komedie
6:20 how can someone look at those exchanges and be like "oh yeah, that's how a mature argument is had." Seriously, it's like middle school. "What are you, stupid?" "No, are you???"
Well, this is the same country that elected a man without a lick of political, legal, or leadership experience at all...
The defendant laid down a rock solid defense of, "I know you are, but what am I?" and the prosecution could only give up at amidst the ultra high IQ of such a statement.
i wish all of those senators had said, mr kavannaugh this is your job interview, you answer questions, you don't ask them, now answer the damn question asshole.
nick gillett - The FBI report was to give waverers cover, not answers. Jeff Flake isn't a fool. Kavanaugh has become a powerful motivator, for Republicans in November. If Democrats and others appalled by the past two years get disillusioned and don't bother to vote in the midterms; then Trump's mocking of an attempted rape victim will have been the best thing he could have done......for Republicans.
Did you find the milk?
I'm sorry, we aren't allowed to look in the kitchen for any food. We're very thorough.
Love your user name! Meow!
Lol! "I Iike catnip, sure I have some catnip from time to time, who doesn't? How about you, do you like catnip? How much catnip do you have?"
Like I use to tell my daughte,you will never find your shoes just looking under the bed you have to look every where.just like Drumpf they are all thinking and acting like toddlers.
It's worse: "Go find the milk, but ... don't look in the kitchen!"
Meanwhile, the audience is told: "We don't mind them looking in the kitchen.".
The fake self-made businessmen is also a fake president, but an accomplished liar.
Miss Kitty Fantastico
Very nice! :)
"I understand college very well." Should have ended with. "I ran a scam one for years!"
^Well, it's clear you're not a college graduate either, judging from that grammar. Trump's a rich guy, he probably bought his degree. Even if you say that he did actually earn it, no one would believe you because he sure doesn't act like it.
This guy is a judge? I would have loved to have seen this work in his court.
"Did you break into this house and rob it?"
"Well, your honour, did you?"
Don't think he ever judged in criminal court though. Second hand info tho'
ahhh, the old switcheroo, I know that tactic well.
So much for FBI being independent of the administration
I believe they were limited in scope because of White House directives, though.
Lyndis S. They were limited in scope. It was reported on. But trump said the opposite in public, classic.
Collective239 yea, man. Maybe any time now he's gonna praise the FBI's integrity and efficiency on this, and say "the democrats don't respect them as much as I do!!!"
If only they gave you what you wanted, then they would really show how independent they are.
We need terms limits. I am tired of politicians making a life long career at politics.
My one buddy said that we should also put tax on political donations. Take some of that 100 million dollars spent on flying around the country to hold press conferences and funnel it back to the people.
@firm1z .. we do have term limits. US senator is 6 yrs and US house 2 yrs
I'm sick of politics in general.
@@Redridge07 that's not term limits. That's reelection. They can get reelected indefinitely.
Maybe also term limits on SCOTUS.
"Alright... so.. let's start this investigation, Agent Bill."
"Ok, Agent Phil... Did you see him do it?"
"Nope."
"Me either... case closed!"
New Message...I'm curious. What do you think of the Senate vote that pretty much guarantees Kavanaugh's confirmation?
It's just like how global warming isn't real because it's cold outside
@@GanguroKonata now i believe in global warming but its disingenuous to state they believe it isn't happening they simply believe we humans haven't excelerated as much as global warming is saying we do and the earth goes in periods of hot and freezing
@@shrekislove3997 sorry, don't know where you've been, but the republicans think "global warming is a hoax" (trump thinks China created it??? Dafuq?) And yes, the Republicans ARE dumb enough and HAVE said global warming is a hoax "because it's cold out".... that's when it was clarified that the term is climate change so dumbfuck repubs don't think it's fake because "it's cold, duuurrr." THEN the Republicans got their knickers in a twist because they pointed out the name change, even though the concept has been the same since the beginning.
hugh jorgan What's there to think about it? It's pretty much over right now. The investigation was a joke, so was the hearing. Flake and Murkowski have at least delayed it. Kudos to them, but they might vote for him still. Manchin and Collins obviously have no guts at all. They will confirm him now, unless any other Rep senators actually discover they do have a conscience prior and say no. That's the way it is right now. But this won't be forgotten still. Midterms are just around the corner now, and people remember all of this.
You can't find what you're not looking for.
And that folks is the judiciary system of the USA...now thats scary
This is just getting ridiculous. People please go out and vote this November. We need need change in our government.
I always feel sorry for all the other people who were on the list they gave Trump. They must be sitting there thinking, "Really? You picked this guy over me?". That's a real kick in the face.
you're right, i had not thought of that , but , yeah....ouch...........they may be needed yet......after INPEACHMENT [ S ] ..................wb
of course...i meant ...iMpeachment...........
Pretty sure they know the reason why (and how it has nothing to do with them or their qualities, or even Kavanaugh's) ...he's the only guy who would signal a) the president can't be indicted, b) he would vote in his favor with the Gamble v. US case, so that Trump can pardon people for state crimes. Some others may have gone along with 'b' as well but none of them were willing to go as far as 'a'.
@@TheNewPatsyBailey are the rest of the GOP that concerned about Trump being impeached, though? They would get Pence, in the unlikely event that he had to step down. I always got the impression that they were just in it for the conservative SCOTUS and the tax break. Then again, they probably wouldn't like Dems getting a win.
They nominated and are getting ready to a point and eminently qualified jurist. All these ridiculous allegations are just absolutely pathetic.
Brilliant. I swear, I need this comedic analysis on a daily basis to get me through all this craziness.
I think it was a tactical mistake to contest the Kavanaugh nomination and fail to block it, it would have been better to focus on the midterms... I'd be honored if some fellow concerned citizens would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of 80s/90s classic songs on my channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Radiohead, Tom Petty, the GooGoo Dolls, the Counting Crows, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Jeff Flake lives up to his name.
He's already flaking out.
He always does when it gets down to crunch time.
Senator Jeff Cornflakes like my man kyle Kulinski calls him
Always does.
His middle name is “the”
Man, I never thought I could dislike Senator Graham any more. Boy, howdy, I was wrong. Booooooooooooooo.
On the chance you have not seen it, watch his speech regarding Bill Clintons impeachment
www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-impeachment-cohen-guilty-plea-lindsey-graham-a8503146.html
Its continuously naked hypocrisy from the Republicans, I don't understand why any real conservatives (not trump cultists) are not demanding their replacement
Emm Bee Sea You gotta admit, “Boo yourselves” was pretty funny.
CN It is funny in that it was so stupid it was funny. A joke that will make people laugh *at you*.
Booooooooofffffff
Emm Bee Sea maki +1
Pretty sure the person being examined isn't supposed to redirect questions back to the asker. It's like, a legal thing. I guess he didn't know.
I hope all defendants use that same tactic when they are in his court.
Way to many in congress and the senate with lifetime jobs. Decades of putting the country 21 trillion in debt and those useless fools keep getting reelected.
Exactly.
@HISmercies nbounties - idiocracy is winning 😂
GREY Wolf
Use paper ballets and see if they keep getting re-elected
Voting won’t do it either. Haven’t we learned this? Churchill said it best. The stain must be removed from the earth.
Yes, it should be for two terms, just like the Presidency. Only then would they vote with their conscience instead of voting what the party wants just to keep their jobs.
Whether he is guilty or not, he is not fit to be in the supreme court. He is way too emotional and clearly has a political bias.
geekchic367 he also lied under oath which is a felony, not to mention witness tampering
@Bryzz Lull did you upvote your own comment haha
@Bryzz Lull If its proven that she lied, absolutely. That's how laws work.
@@tmikeb28 😂 it always amazes me how ignorant and stupid you imbreads are
I feel sorry for any woman or Democrat that has to face Kavanaugh if he's on the Supreme Court!! "Guilty" even before they present their case!! Only the privileged hoity- toity MALE Republicans will get a fare hearing!! Booo!!
graham said you came to the wrong place for a fair process and I say he's exactly right. The GOP have not been fair.
Graham was correct, in the sense that the non-Trump cultists (aka the rest of the United States / world) will not be fair to Trump and his ilk when they are eventually brought to face for their crimes, including Graham.
well neither have the democrats, they have hidden evidence until everyone was about to vote and then decided to bring it forward, after having it for weeks and not saying anything
If you can't stand the heat, you shouldn't be in the kitchen. Bart I-like-Beer O'KavaNope knew this was coming. First, by the very nature of a hearing. Second, because he above all others was well aware of his own past. Only his own deeds come back to hunt him, not what others do now, that's only words ...
It's always the same story: the three "moderate Republicans" in the Senate stage a little theater piece about civic duty and proper procedure, and a few days later invariably vote against their own stated concerns and with the rest of their party. Why expect something different this time?
That said, I vomit a little every time when I read/hear the expression "moderate Republican." The fact that they style themselves with that label really doesn't mean that the press should buy it, especially when their voting record shows it to be patently false. Besides, considering the trajectory of the Republican Party over the past 10-15 years, "moderate Republican" sounds a lot like "moderate racist" or "moderate fascist" or "moderate tax dodger" or "moderate sexual predator" - or all of the above, really.
The "moderate republican" is as extinct as the Dodo bird. They no longer exist. There are only 2 types of republicans now. Far right and far far right.
Too many white people, times are changing though
Republicans are literally the only people defending due process and presumption of innocence. I'm not surprised you hold your idiotic beliefs that they're extreme. The left is driving off a cliff, staring back at everyone else standing on the cliff edge and saying "look at these people. See how far away they've moved from us?".
@Preet Dhami a brownie voting for republicunts? You bring shame to dhami's worldwide. You'd be disowned if you were a Canadian voting for conservative ideals
@@MrDexter337 sure. And coincidentally, the rest of the western world was driving off the same cliff at the same speed. But yep, definitely not the Republicans moving. And the dictators and clanfolk that came jogging down the road stopping by them was PURE coincidence.
Graham is a joke. Also that is the best food joke ever. Capers! Keep the truth coming Seth!
Peter Chen No. The beat one was Jon Stewart when talking about Anthony Weiner “with much delight and relish”.
I'm just glad McCain isn't around to see what's become of his friend Lindsey.
Julie Mendez - I'm not. Can you imagine watching McCain throw something at Graham in the middle of Graham's tantrum?
I think McCain would have been proud.
Julie Mendez
Lindsay's NOBODY'S friend. Frankly, Lindsay's getting tired of his Orange lipstick.
@Karen Stevens Where is your source that McCain left the Republican party?
Julie Mendez you mean boyfriend
lol Lindsey thinks he has friends, most under rated joke of this episode
Fallen7Pie I'm darkly interested to see his reaction to outright proof of misconduct by kavanaugh but I won't be holding my breath...
His donors Lurve him...
Prostitutes do not traffic in love...
need maybe
"Do you like beer Senator? What do you like to drink?" - That sounds so much like what a drunk would say. I'm surprised Kavanaugh didn't say "Let's all go have bar after this".
Or maybe, "Hey, wanna step out back and settle this?"
2manysecrets
"Pray your time doesn't come."
What's that supposed to mean?
"Boo yourself"? Is he 6 years old?
Love your female Eclectus!
the crowd was booing him because he said in this country your not guilty until proven innocent.. yeah whos the fucked up 6yr olds?
@@jak3est not guilty until proven innocent? Is that intended or are you a 6 year old?
Eric Ballard I planned to comment the same!
@HISmercies nbounties Oh.. I misinterpreted "not guilty" I guess.. Read it as "not guilty" until proven innocent, instead of not "guilty until proven innocent".
Time to impose limited terms for Senators and judges at the Supreme Court.
Time to leave the United States because the constitution is dead, completely dead.
change that law!
Cause letting public opinion determine framework of legal interpretation really isn’t redundant, because public opinion doesn’t already influence actual laws.
Judges? Yes. Senators? No, why? It's not the fault of unlimited terms, that the GOP-dogs would vote for rapists, pedophiles, corrupt douchbags, traitors or outright mentally challenged punching bags, as long as they have the "magic R"... Look at their other candidates, limited terms would just mean you get a bigger variety of fking horrible people, but not less of them.
+Shuzid I'd rather cycle horrible idiots than be stuck perpetually with the same one if the magic R was all it took. At least with limited terms, there is hope than the next horrible idiot voted in will be slightly less awful. Also it would break the cycle of demagoguery that can arise when they can claim they have been in office for 20 years and therefore this proves they are the best for the job.
Lindsey Graham--Miss SCARLET O'HARA of South Carolina not Rhett Butler.
It'll be fun when the blackmail material on him finally leaks. That sudden 180 after golfing with Trump, he was told about his Kompromat, probably gotten when the Russians hacked the RNC servers in 2016 (But didn't release anything). Most likely Craigslist rent boys or something similar.
Best tactic for the DNC operation is to try and find the blackmail material as well, and let it leak, remove the hold over him. Of course it'll destroy his career, but that's a added bonus.
But someday, even if only historically, it will 'come out'.
I understand college very well... I understand a lot of things...omg this is unbelievable.
Graham put it exactly right!! “If your looking for a fair process, you came to the wrong place!!!,” everyone came looking for a fair process and you and your republican cronies have failed to deliver that fair process
Kayla Pounds 😂 so she can remember a house she was at and he’s guilty? You Libtards are so desperate it’s wonderful! MAGA
Deetrain the entire process is unfair, the entire process is a sham, your country, I am presuming that you are an American, is a laughing stock at the moment, your president is a laughing stock, the only good thing about him is that he is providing comedy gold
Droppin Deuces... laugh now cry later! You are going to be steaming mad for no reason very shortly...guaranteed you’ll have a hissy fit. Watch.
Deetrain... it wasn’t a thorough investigation... I would have at least get to the bottom off this, whether to expose her or expose him
dangeo1020 welcome to the Supreme Court Judge Kavanaugh. 😜
Republicans talking about why Brett should be on the SC is like t'rump talking about why he can't release his tax returns.
They don't have a good reason beyond "just cause...."
👍👍👍
ha, only rachael maddow showed us all his tax returns and surprise surprise, he pays taxes, a lot of them.
15 seconds - ha, only you're wrong because it was one page of his returns from a single year (2005) and that page didn't include the liabilities side. You know, the part that shows if you're paying off debts to Russian banks. Nice try, though.
for one brief moment i had respect for sen. flake.
And then he did what all flakes do...fold under the least amount of pressure.
Never trust a flake.
And now that moment has passed
Good God, Lindsey Graham has GOT to go!
He's probably got a restraining order from Chucky Cheese!! We should frame him!!!
To Mars preferably.
He's South Carolina's responsibility, right?
Why exactly???? You are an idiot.... he is a well-spoken, passionate and compassionate man ... the world seems to have a shortage of his type these days. What is he scariest thought is that these hearings will one day be decided by these social justice snowflakes like Seth Myers..... SCARY!!!
@@sapphireriddles6692 Not in this case! SCOTUS rulings affect the entire US. The guy is crazy & sounds like a bad character actor in his fake taking offense speeches.
Brett convinced me he had a drinking problem.
And still has.
Me too. He didn't know how many beers is to many.
And he thinks that most people have blackouts.
I wondered if he was drunk during the hearing
@@sapphireriddles6692 I knew he wasn't drunk but I did think he might have had a few beers and that would explan his emotional state.
Term limits now!
In the last midterm election, only 36% of eligible registered voters nationwide actually voted. If only 50% of registered voters voted this time, it would set a new record. VOTE!
anonagain
I just want to state that I’ve voted in every election (including local, off-year ones) since 1974!
@@maryrosekent8223 wow you are a hero
@Mary Rose Kent - I'm pleased to hear it - we need more people like you! You have me beat by 1 year - I started voting in 1975 and have voted every election since. :)
It isn't quite where it should be, but it would certainly appear that voting registration is at an all time high across the United States. People like Beto O'Rourke have helped to energize the young voting base not only here in Texas but elsewhere as well. I'm registered to vote, and fully plan on exercising that right here soon!
we registered a record 15 million new voters in my state (Texas)
He's committed perjury. He clearly has no respect for our laws and does not belong in the judicial system at all.
Complete bullshit.
How DARE Graham demand that Ms. Klobachur apologize to Kavanaugh? WTF is the matter with him?
If Brett Kavanaugh gets "disbarred", he'll just find another place to drink.
Hahaha
It’s exhausting to see how he responded the hearing questions especially to Klobuchar. What a passive aggressive jerk.
Thomas Ebert did you see what those senators were saying about him before the hearing. If that was you on the other end wouldn't your blood be boiling?
That a judge should respond to serious questions the way he did was beyond shocking. What an idiot!
Vote November 2018!! Wake Up America!!!
Hell yes vote! Make America Great Again! all of this latest unhinged leftist bullshit is so transparent, the country is so tired of it, you're about to see some Republican landslides. you idiot spank you in the majority but nothing could be further from the truth. Just because you scream and yell and act like children doesn't mean that you're anything but that, children.
How was he treated like crap. I remember the Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas hearings and when the interviewers spoke to Thomas they were all apologetic just like with Kavenaugh.
How can you call it a investigation where the accused and accuser are not even subjected to questioning.
Sayak Das because they already were
Both have already given sworn statements to senate!!
No, no, no no..if you have a week long investigation..those people have to be interviewed once more about ALL the allegations..you know that.
That's not the same as giving a statement to the FBI. Lying to the FBI is a federal crime..the threat of prison time puts pressure on a person to tell the truth.
Because both of those parties already testified to congress under oath, a congressional committee that has the power to subpoena, which the FBI does not have unless it's doing a criminal investigation, which this was not as no charges have been filed.
So interviewing Ford would only open her up to purger herself, and the point of the investigation was to find corroborating evidence to her claims, not to see if they could make her change her story. What would they have asked her that wasn't already asked?
And the same holds for Kavanaugh. What would they even ask him? Prove he wasn't at some unknown place, at an unknown date at an unknown time?
On the Ramirez claim the people she actually says were at the party that she claims the flashing occurred, all say they don't remember any such thing. The only people that have come forward are people that are saying that they saw him drunk at various points, which doesn't corroborate anything.
And anyone giving credence to the Swednick allegations are just delusional. Anyone that watched that ABC interview should see right then that the woman was blatantly just making it up.
All the old GOP need to leave the hill. The 50's are long gone and they still believe we are in that era. Time for change. Vote in November.
'50s.
@E Lee Radical left, radical right. I just want a balance in the middle because things haven't gotten any better.
@E Lee if no one were to listen to him he would leave. Dogs on the other side of the world can hear him because he is just to loud.
The GOP’s new slogan is “There’s no justice, there’s just us.”
Kavanaugh looked like he was drunk at his hearing. lol
I thought that too
Not to mention the pinkest face I've ever seen.
This investigation of kavanagh was quicker than Trump with Stormy Daniel's.
Kavanaugh is a monster...
Because he was slapped by baseless claims, and got emotional?
Kavanagh is cool
@Rex Keys Hey, I'm interested to know what your great plan will be if abortion becomes illegal. I'm sure you're one of these idiots who rail against the welfare state but complain about a woman's right to seek an abortion. Guess what is probably going to support this new abundance of kids who were never wanted in the first place? Ding, ding, ding! Welfare.
So how about we cut out the middle man. How about we make a registry of all pro-life people and have a percentage of their wages garnished every month to pay for these kids. After all, saving a life is worth more than your money, right? Isn't that what your religion tells you?
@Rex Keys the Trump regime is aiding and abetting the genocide currently happening in Yemen by the Saudis FFS so spare us your fake outrage about killing people.
Please read my reply above... Christ, it's not about evidence it's about composure.
Lindsey Graham has made a huge U turn from since Trump worn the presidency! I am curious as into why? Why all of a sudden he is so pro-Trump and defending the worst? I am really really curious about his sudden complete embracement of this administration. Someone need to check if maybe Russia has called?
nayinayi1 Republicans have no spine and choose party over country every time.
I think he's auditioning for Trump's cabinet
Might Graham become Trump's next (and more cooperative) attorney general after the midterms?
nayinayi1 yes. He saw the light. There’s hope for you too
USA is oligarchy based on Russian model. You just do not realise this yet.
American and Russian oligarchs are playing cards on the same table.Good luck winning, when you do not even have cards in your hand. You are the little pot on the table where they push their cigarettes in.
To everyone who clearly doesn't get it:
-Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath
-It doesn't matter what the context of those lies are, it only matters that he lied under oath
-The guy is a judge, so he knows that's illegal
-He's trying to get the highest seat in the judicial system, the fact that he lied under oath, REGARDLESS of subject, should be enough for everyone to say no
-Brett Kavanaugh also showed a clear inability to keep his cool under pressure. A Supreme Court justice should be able to keep their cool, even when being accused of something they didn't do (which we can't even prove because the investigation was a sham)
-The interviews conducted by senators at the hearing =/= interviews conducted by the FBI
-Politics aren't a game! This is real life, with real consequences
Americans need to vote wisely next month (and every election after!). Some of these clowns are up for reelection. I hope you remember the names of politicians who stood by accused sexual predators and those who played down mass shootings.
key word being "accused". NOT convicted.
Peace Love dont you know? if you are republican its guilty until proven innocent
@@soulja36 It's more like guilty because of countless attempts to end investigations, sabotage hearings and ignore official evidence/decisions. I assume nobody would still believe any non-politician if he manipulated his own trial this way, let alone an accused terrorist, immigrant or black man.
And yet all you hear is that he is accused, which is still absolutely correct.
Wisely or otherwise, Americans need to vote.
PViP End investigations? Ignore official evidence? Do you have idea what are you talking about??? Please do elaborate. I can tell you the only sabotage that is happening here is the sabotaging of Kavanaugh's confirmation.
I was surprised none of the senators asked Bart "have you ever used cocaine ..sniff sniff"
I had exactly the same reaction when looking at his mad exposé. He seemed like on some drug... Snif snif.
Next time they whine about Democratic delaying tactics, I'm going to ask them exactly how many days the country just wasted to conduct the most transparent sham of an investigation. Oh yeah, and Merrick Garland.
Never. Vote. Republican.
Always. Vote. Republican. You, just never vote at all dumbass
@Playfulpanthress even if I don't anymore the Democrat Party is screwed they have shown themselves for what they really are, and I know a lot of people who usually vote Democrat who are now saying I can't support this unhinged crazy party I am voting Republican. So you crazy people just keep it up, you are helping people like me? And I am not super rich I'm just not an asshole who doesn't know his head from a fucking hole in the ground.
Fun Fact: FBI Director Wray went to the same college and grad school as Kavanaugh, only two years apart, and were fellow members of the Federalist Society.
Johnny Tek interesting to know that the fix was in. now infuriated beyond words.
Johnny Tek completely irrelevant, but dont sorry he’ll be on the supreme court soon enough.
The FBI investigation was sabotaged by Trump.
He issued special edicts preventing the FBI from doing their job (including an absurdly short time limit, preventing them from talking to more than 4 people, etc).
The whole "but he went to college and has a wife and kids so he's definitely a good, decent person" argument is getting really stupid now.
I honestly don't know if Kavanaugh did any sexual assaults, but I do know the defenses for him are HORRIBLE and only make him look guilty. The apologists pretend as if people with good reputations have never had a dark side.
I feel sorry for his wife and kids. Really. But he dragged them to these public hearings. I'm pretty sure - other than the boofing - his wife knows him differently.
I don't doubt he's a good father to his daughters, and a friendly and socially engaged neighbor.
While it certainly is a positive, it doesn't rule out his lack of trustworthiness needed to become a justice.
Sadly for the US, the only criteria for a SCOTUS nomination seems to have become your political support.
Has the GOP sank so low they do not have a judge of impeccable character and integrity any more to nominate for justice?
For fact, the Great Pretender can't stand people with integrity and character, so his massive shortcomings have become the new standard of the US. Sad, really sad.
Only now?
Ford is a conartist, even though she has property in some of the most expensive areas in the us and takes several trips to hawaii, Australia, france. She needs a go fund me page so you, the idiots, can pay for these lies. And give ford money for her mediocre performance.
Carl Stupid comment you voted for Donald Trump.
I think we really need to get these people out of power. Please vote.
Kynk MAGA
yes, please make plans NOW and vote.
Well it appears that the 🍊 is winning. Sorry dems, you guy are sorry as an old fart.
Kynk SHAM ALL OF THOSE WHO VOTED YES TO THIS DIRTY RAPIST SUPREME COURT OF AMERICA’s JUDGE
YOU ARE THE DIRTIEST PEOPLE IN THIS PLANET EARTH 😎
Kynk,You are right. We must get every dumbacrat out of office.
I can normally laugh at this with everyone else's but...I can't laugh anymore
If you ask someone if they’ve ever killed anyone and they answer with “I don’t know, have you”, that person is a murderer.
Your technique is lacking.
Or, maybe, it's a super dumb question that would likely be a no? Common sense people. Common sense.
@@pkmcburroughs lmao!!!! Yeah. We should probably keep the circle going.
That's exactly the type of idiotic logic I would expect a liberal to have.
+Michael Trafton
It is not a "super dumb question" when a very credible person accuses you of murder. And the correct answer is "no" if you have not, not "have you?". There is a really good video of a former CIA agent speaking to business people about how to spot liars and Kavanaugh ticks ALL the biggest boxes on her list of things to look for in a liar. Common sense, you say? We can be 99% sure he lied about his shady financial disclosures, 99.5% sure he lied about his involvement in the Bush White House scandal involving stolen documents from Democratic Senators, and 99.9% sure he lied about the Ralf Club, Boofing, and "The Devil's Triangle". Common sense says that it is more likely than not that he lied about his sexual allegations too.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT I'M VOTING DEMOCRAT FROM NOW ON...
Samuel Ingles wow geez, you sure convinced me...
Don't say "from now on", as that attitude is exactly why people vote republican even though the blind hypocrisy and amoral behavior on display. Instead say 'for the next election', as you can't tell what will happen in the future, maybe the Republicans will lose so hard they will actually address all the issues in their party, and Democrats will act morally bankrupt.
I know you where just being hyperbolic, but honestly I think its a farce that there is only a 2 party option in the US, most other countries have realized that all that does is lead to the blind bi-partisan you see going on at the moment, where people vote their team because they always have
U guys are screwed. Our thoughts n prayers go out to u, america
Help
Real life in America is not bad, our economy is thriving, everyone has a job... People are happier in general. What you see in the media is a bunch of whining and hate-filled reporting.
I have no more sympathy for the country to give out "thoughts and prayers." Those went out before the election, when the whole world was doing everything they can to convince Americans that Trump was a bad idea. They didn't listen, and I hold nothing but resentment for that country whom we thought we could trust.
baddmanaz Whats your countries emigration policy
We know. But instead of thoughts and prayers we need bombs and bullets to fix this mess
I think Lindsey Graham would be a great heel gimmick. He could tag team with Ted Cruz and make the most naturally hateable team ever.
It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire GOP and establishment Democrats! Trump is just a symptom of this dying system.
Not just the system but civil moral depravity spreading like a virus. People who believe right is wrong and wrong is right because they see their heroes get away with it.
They stole the SCOTUS seat, and put in a drunken compulsive liar who hates women....great - third world status here we come !
Stole? Stole from who? You do realize republicans have the majority at the moment, so it could only be "stolen" from them? Something I don't understand about the left is why you guys repeat things that it seems you haven't taken the time to think through.
They mean from Garland when Obama was in office, stole it then.
Already Precedence Fake is the laughter of the world, while the US are quickly loosing allies all over the world due to his infant impulsive behavior.
The US went in two years from being a factor of world stabilization and peace, to becoming a major risk and possible cause of war.
And while I wholeheartedly agree on the critics against China, I don't think Dogald's lack of diplomacy will help.
Yes, China exports far more than it imports - by the way, a chain that was started by the Americans themselves,
they started the destruction of their own local economy and market to serve their rich - .
But while modern China might look in nothing like Mao's China, they have a history in which millions are left to die for the "greater cause", they have a government with real power (keep dreaming, Great Pretender), they have an enormous internal market and they have Europe willing to replace American companies in China and trade with China (a very dangerous liaison, to be played with very cautious strategic care). Africa is already China-owned, Chinese already own or participate large companies in Europe (Mercedes, Volvo, ...). And with the Great Pretender attacking everybody, it's seldom wise to fight on a war on to fronts at once.
I'm pretty sure Europeans did prefer doing business with the US. Precedence Fake is altering that ...
You want to see third world? Go walk around LA, or San Francisco. You’ll see what Democrats are truly capable of.
@@AndriesTom "losing allies" yeah because the UN doesn't exist and making peace with north Korea isnt peaceful or anything oh but if Obama or Hillary did it would be like the second coming of christ
I have got a serious drink problem, I cannot afford the amount of alcohol I need until the next Presidential Election!
Just make sure that you're too drunk to get out of bed on Election Day. Hail to the Chief! Trump2020
@Elena Timofte It's a good thing that what you think/say doesn't matter, because your idiotic comment shows you probably couldn't find your way to a polling station. "Adgolf"? "Chef"? Have another shot of liquor, hit of crack/dose of Fake News. Leftist Loser, the you'll be crying your worthless ass off after the upcoming election.
@Elena Timofte Another thing - funny how you obvious trolls all come from an account which "has no content". Fail.
@Elena Timofte Again with the nonsensical writing, who knows what point you are trying (and failing miserably) to make... "You are low mind worthless for society" - what the hell could that possibly even mean?
If you give me your information I will send you money so you can go to school to learn how to speak and write English. I doubt you have the aptitude to learn. Excuse me for laughing in your undoubtedly extremely brutal-looking face, hahaha...idiot...
@Elena Timofte To call you an idiot would be an insult to idiots.
I think this would be the last straw for this country, if that beer lover is appointed through as a judge. Vote in November, to end all of this nonsense.
Remember to vote out anyone who confirms him.
*WHILE ALL ALLEGATIONS DESERVE THOROUGH INVESTIGATIONS, A SERENDIPITOUS SELF-EXPOSE' ON THE PART OF THE NOMINEE OFFERED AMPLE EVIDENCE OF DISQUALIFYING MISBEHAVIOR!*
Judge Brett "what goes around comes around" Kavanaugh can only blame himself for ruining his own life by pulling that self-disqualifying performance at the Senate public hearing last Thursday. That pivotal rebuttal changed everything!
After Dr Ford's testimony, Bart I-like-beer O'KavaNope appeared to be a lame excuse for a man.
His utterly misplaced belligerent behavior and paranoid partisanship show him to be so unfit for SCOTUS.
A RealCryBaby n°2, he made the Great Pretender happy as the ridiculous show demonstrated Bart understands damn well what Dogald expects from him.
have you seen the speech lindsey graham gave during Bill Clinton's impeachment? he basically said "it does not matter if he is guilty or not, his behavior is unbecoming of the office and so he should lose his job"
Yeah, hes just another Republican hypocrite, the part seams to be full of them at the moment
Gotta love Judge. Justice prevails! God bless America!
I am glad & thankful that Seth lashed out at Lindsey Graham as well as "The Usual Suspects." Graham has become a caricature in out-takes of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," and there's almost nothing so pathetic as a U.S. Senator becoming an object of derision because of the way he talks and acts. Isn't it time you spent more time with your family, Senator?
I guess we can start referring to the US as The Trump Regime???
We've gone FULL oompa loompa.
You can refer to the US as a shithole. That's what this country is becoming.
And the FBI as the RBI - Republican Bureau of Investigations.
*"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."* -- _H.L. Mencken_
Good thing we still have the second amendment.
"Dog Poison Company" Get that writer a new jacket.
Hitting the nail on the head there Seth.
Too shameful ..This White House and the Republican Senators...America is gone down to further weakness
All people had to do was bear 4 years of Hillary. That's it. And ALL of this would've been avoided.
She was saying that she would do a no fly zone against Russia and they said they would have violated the provision then she stated that she would then retaliate against them creating another war with a country that is more equipped than us. Not an smart move. I voted independently for Jill Stein. I want a woman who has ideas and the right record.
I know that was exactly what I had been telling people before he was even elected
It would have still came to this. Look at how they treated President Obama, they had their knives fully sharpened for Hillary when she started to run. I would have only wanted her president if the country was not so screwed up and divided. They have exposed themselves but the religious and irreligious right vote in droves to put these people in. I wouldn't want Hillary as president with the majority of the house and senate being GOP. There are the elected and there are those that elect the elected.
Trenton Johnson,
1. Russia is not more equipped than the US.
Our military spending is the highest it the world by a massive margin. We outspend the next 12 nations combined, 11 of whom are our allies. It is wasteful spending, but not even close to wasteful enough that we've lost our military superiority.
2. Neither Hillary nor Putin is stupid enough to declare war against the other, nor escalate to a point where war was unavoidable. Escalations would only be to save face on the national stage: Putin needs to show we can't control him, and American needs to show Putin can't control us.
Consequences to violating the no fly zone can mean many things from Russia establishing their own zones and enforcing them against the US, down to nonviolent economic sanctions. The same way we don't want war with Russia, Putin doesn't want war with the US.
He will only do what he can to subvert us without using planes, guns, and bombs. His Cold War mentalities can only manifest in a Hot Peace. His tactics for subverting the US come down to cyber attacks, undermining our political systems and government stability, economic tactics, international support, etc.
3. Also game theory and experienced diplomats can comment on this dilemma: Submitting to "threats of war" is can be worse than being prepared for it.
Ex. If thieves rob a house, the cops SHOULD try to stop them, even though the thieves may be violent.
Those cop's lives are undoubtedly more valuable than the possessions being stolen, but if the risk of violence incurred by stopping the thieves is enough to stop cops from interfering at all, then the consequences are WORSE. We'd create a society in which crimes are not even inconvenienced, and crime would sky rocket. Society as a whole suffers.
War is the threat of violence amplified many times over. When war seems so horrible that you back down from mere threats of it, then you are teaching nations that you can be controlled by those mere threats. Responding to threats concedes international standing, power, undermines negotiations, etc. Being able to stand up to threats from a foreign hostile power is often wiser than blindly submitting.
Ya if Hillary was in we wouldn't know about all the corruption in the Democrat party and the deepstate. SHE would have hid it all.
I was waiting for you in this dark times we need to vote blue and vote these crazy sick oldies out
OMG the schmear/lox/capers joke just made me laugh so hard I almost choked
Seth, thank you so much for telling this as they really are - it's so hard to hear news outlets sugarcoat and misrepresent reality, but at least satire reflects reality. These are dark days. Thank you and your staff for being a light.
I really love your insights and the humor you are able to extract from deeply troubling events. I also love the way you always turn their words around on them in the end...Great Job!
The guy is judge, and yet he couldn't of looked more guilty. Those redirects were painful to watch!
Graham was right, what a sham!
Anavrin he “looked” guilty?
If looking guilty was enough half the population should be in jail
@@AndradeSamir they are
TERM LIMITS !!!!!!!!!!!!! GET THEM OUT OF OFFICE! VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!!
Great show Seth. Thanks
Seth Meyers is really underappreciated.
Isn't there also a way to impeach a supreme court justice?
I hope they do and they get the votes.
didn't know they could be impeached.
I've always held the belief that you should never write about someone online if you wouldn't say it to their faces. Keeping that in mind, I have absolutely no qualms about saying that Lindsey Graham is the human equivalent of the Crazy Frog (loud, obnoxious, talks nonsense, and should never have been introduced to the wider public consciousness) and Brett Kavanaugh deserves absolutely no sympathy. If the allegations ARE false (and that's an increasingly big "if" as far as I'm concerned), then by all means I'd extend deepest sympathies to his family, but to him? Never. At the hearing he demonstrated every possible reason why he shouldn't be confirmed and now he offers a half-assed apology for his behaviour? America, you deserve so much better than what you're being given right now...
She passed the polygraph test..... what more evidence is there? Come on FBI!
Why are polygraphs still used as remotly credible evidence in the US?
I thought it was prooven over and over that you could hook a polygraph up to a cactus and you would get the same random readings.
Not to mention that you can train to control your body functions to a degree that these "tell tale" signs that are supposedly shown during a polygraph can be hidden.
And no i'm not for or against anyone here .... i'm just a random smartass on the internet-.-
As far as i'm concerned, if Kavanaugh did what he is accused with, he deserves a boot up his ass.
Lol I've passed a polygraph while lying. When they ask you an easy truth (like "what's your name?") bite your tongue or dig your fingernails into your palms. When they ask you the question you have to lie about, think about a warm comfortable memory and focus on keeping your breathing normal. It's literally so easy
Mark Abrams. A leading judge recently wrote a legal opinion that said lie detector tests are a vital and important tool for government and law enforcement. That judge was Brett Kavanaugh.
@Mark Blair
HA!
Now you are pulling my leg!
You got a link to the source? I wanna have a good laugh aswell :D
Mark Blair It doesnt change the fact that polygraphs are useless. If you even know the theory of passing a polygraph (creating a false baseline) it becomes such an easy task
Congratulations Republicans. You have easily turned a registered independent into a Democrat at least for the next election. Great job. Hope there's more of us.
I've considered myself an independent for a long time, but enough is enough. The Democratic party does have it's problems, but not on this scale.
Michael Annino I think banning abortion in red states would be a great social experiment. Let’s see what affect that has on those states economies and how it shifts voters at the poles. Giving states the power to decide on abortion will benefit blue states significantly in my opinion. Bring it on
Davonte McPherson why is your page blank? No subs or liked videos and trolling. You are the online version of a flasher. And liking your own comment is sad.
Rex Keys I’m actually against abortions, but I don’t feel it’s my right to tell others what to do, especially if it’s legal to do so. I actually think giving the states the decision is not such a horrible idea, and I’m curious as to what the economic and political consequences will be. Let’s beta test it in red states and see what happens. I think the welfare of children needs to be our top priority in this country. Make schools safer, have better gun laws and let’s not separate kids from their parents. My guess is that Trump and the Republicans are running a pedophile ring with all these undocumented kids they are separating. Many of them can not be tracked down. I’d start looking at Trump resorts. Maybe they are being held as sex slaves. Tacogate. Trump’s not only a client, he’s the president
Thanks for joining the fight against the fascists. I hope it makes a difference.
That is why he does not drink, cos he's chronically drunk anyway.
Actually I think it's from all the anti-psychotics he must have to take. Can't take that stuff and drink or you can end up a.......... a Trump. Huh..... Go figure.
That makes no sense.
Seth is very cheery today. Lots more energy that usual.
one of Seth's best- thank you
+Late Night with Seth Meyers - *_Please add_** closed captions.*
They do eventually
There are no hint of misconduct? So these senile old farts had turned OFF their hearing aids when Ford was testifying. TERM LIMITS NOW!
Heartbroken for all the brave women & men who came forward & shared their pain, even when they knew it may not change anything. They & every single survivor deserved better!
Unbelievable. That guy has ZERO business being on the Supreme Court.
Kavenaugh should never sit on a judicial bench ever again!! He proved he is unworthy to be a partial judge!! He's out of control and a terrible person!! He shouldn't be scotus or any other judge!!
Why because he drinks? If so then trumps an amazing person since he never drank or because someone made the claim that he raped them if so then every other falsely accused person is "literally Hitler"
You mean just part of a judge or did you mean impartial?
@@kenfarrar9428
Ya got me Ken! Good catch! I've got to stop commenting when I'm drunk! 👍
He admitted to drinking an access, while in college, which was over 30 years ago. There is ZERO proof that Kavanaugh drinks to excess during his adult life. Like 90% of people have binged drank during their high school and college years. President Obama admitted to doing blow while in college. And again, he admitted more than once to have a few too many and to doing things he regrets. The only thing related to drinking he denied that was he ever drank to the point where he did not remember what happened the previous night (blackout). Which, BTW, was a stupid line of questioning. They were trying to set it up where he couldn't even deny the allegations because they'll just say "well, maybe you did it during one of the nights you blacked out".
And so fucking what that he made stupid slang terms when he was 16? Seriously, how would you react when, during a serious hearing, a prosecutor tried to make the argument "you said stupid stuff in your highchool yearbook, therefore you are guilty of rape". ?
To be impartial you mean? Yeah, total lack of appropriate composure. No competence shown. What a dribbling, whining, privileged, entitled white man. Quite similar to Trump really.
6:32 Alyssa Milano's shocked face tho... 😂 😂 😂
You're always so funny and on point, thanks
Call your local Senator and let them know your thoughts.
i pity the front desk and hotline foot-soldiers who will suffer the brunt of the outrage, instead of the ones really responsible.
My senator is Cruz. He is well aware of our thoughts, and just doesnt care.
No tooth comb😂
The only way that this can go over smoothly (This won't happen) is if Kavanaugh came out publicly and told the FBI to proceed with a full investigation. He could say," as a future supreme court judge, I would want to have all of the information on a case before making a judgement on it." And if he is as clean as he says he is, then this wouldn't be a problem. But instead the people that we (may) have voted for are telling us that a couple of sexual assault charges aren't important. Imagine someone you know or may even be related to was sexually assaulted, wouldn't you want your government to care?
Bill Cobsy should have reached out to the FBi to investigate his victims so he could get real justice
Government isn't suppose to be entertaining
