No, but it adds to the body of evidence that he was a drunken twat while in college. Especially as there are police reports, rather than just people remembering stories.

I don't even need to have a drink to throw ice at somebody.

More fake news from the failing New York Times. When will these amateurish losers look at Crooked Hillary's emails? People tell me she's as unpopular as ever! Sad!

If you get chance/can, John Oliver's takedown of Kavanaugh on Last Week Tonight is worth 25 minutes of your time.

From reactions on twitter, Trump's just used his newly granted right to send a text message to every single person in the US at once.

I give it 2 months until he's abusing it.

EDIT: Yup.

No, no it did not.

I don't think he'll actually be dictating what the alerts say, or when they go out. I don't know that he has that power yet.

Why is Trump still doing campaign rallies?
Has any serving President ever done these before when it wasn't the run up to the next election?

Hopefully the laws keeping politics out of the messages are clear and stay strongly in place over time, seems like something that could be a very powerful political tool if abused.

He probably loves the attention he gets from his fans and people hired to go cheer him at these rallies. Strokes his ego. They don't appear to be doing much for his approval rating.

At first I thought it was an ego boost, but now I think its just about keeping the same shite he had going on the run up to the elections in the eyes of the same people who voted. Like a never-ending campaign, all leading up to the next election.

SMART!

Regarding the text thing, people think he won't be able to use it directly, but you just know there's going to be some 4am drunken covfefe moment.

Kinda reminds me of another lad who liked rallies.

'She had one drink, and she can't remember anything!'

Where might I find this? YouTube doesn't seem to throw up anything that seems to be directly Kavanaugh related.
