Jeff Flake likes to publicly flirt with the right thing but remains monogamous with the convenient thing.

I woke up very early today. I could not sleep. While it sounds melodramatic to say it, it is because I came away from yesterday's Kavanaugh hearing feeling more acutely than ever that something is profoundly wrong with the way our country works.

Reminder: Nothing will ultimately satisfy Democrats and they will continue to smear Judge Kavanaugh. From the beginning, they’ve made it clear they will do anything to derail his nomination. The way they’ve handled this has been a disservice to everyone.

If the FBI, after their investigation into the accusations made against #Kavanaugh, find nothing then this makes him 100% stronger as a nominee.
And it strips Democrats of the last card they have left to play.

But remember this…
Cable ratings from the Kavanaugh hearing yesterday say a lot about who is fired up about this whole process.
Fox had more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined during the hearing.

MSNBC: 2,892,000
CNN: 2,515,000https://t.co/OepXvFHQci

BREXIT BRITAIN
Thread…
Dear @BorisJohnson,
There is no better Brexit when it comes to the Good Friday Agreement and Northern Ireland. As you still seem bamboozled by all this Paddywackery here’s a few pointers for your next stab in the dark – https://t.co/3E0T9MKm28— Patrick Kielty (@PatricKielty) September 28, 2018
On his prime time BBC interview, Boris Johnson goes unchallenged as he says "the Irish issue gained in salience … not quite deservedly."
Repeat after me. Peace in Ireland is more important than this buffoon's hard Brexit ideology.

Boris Johnson’s 6 point plan for Brexit:
1. Scrap the UK’s existing plan
2. Replace it with a so far non-existent plan.
3. Put the word “super” in front of things.
4. Build a wall
5. and Mexico will pay for it.
6. Float off into the Atlantic. pic.twitter.com/O0ccQdqTn8— Adam Bienkov (@AdamBienkov) September 27, 2018
