Speaking of Rachel Mitchell we will never have a report on her questioning of Kavanaugh because it was stopped by repubs during the inquiry about his July 1st calendar entry. A bit one sided if we are counting reports.

You keep bringing that up, but what prevented the democrats from asking those questions? Instead we got questions about flatulence, beer drinking, and FBI investigations.

I will remind you the only reason Mitchell was brought in was the phony posturing by the Dems about having all those old white males challenging her narrative and how hostile that would be . The Dems could've easily employed her services ;or brought in their own expert prosecutor to question him .Instead they concentrated on year book references to boofing of boffing ,ralphing ,and Devil's Triangle .

LOL. You blame the dems because repubs don't have a female on the committee? Have they ever? What year?

No, I blame the dems for not asking the kinds of questions you seem to think were so important. If you think those questions were so vital, then stop whining about it and call them up and complain.

Dems got an investigation into the allegations, but the repubs are still scheduling a vote before it's done, so the FIX is still in.

Fix. I like that word, as in, "Putting Kavanaugh on the SCOTUS will help 'fix' what is wrong with that Court."

Yeah I know, stop gay marriage and abortions, is your goal and you would hold your nose and elect a lying cheating dufus and support a lying drunk to get what you want. And if he protects the dufus against witch hunts so much the better.

time to move the goal posts again ... Top Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat Dianne Feinstein says Friday Senate vote on Kavanaugh would be too soon. Why ? maybe because he allegedly threw ice in 1985

If he's innocent, they can go for a year and nothing will be found.

Or ... He was a schoolyard bully.
Every year his teachers commented on his terrible temper tantrums.
He over-emoted when cornered.

yeah that . He did not have coaching and like Dr Fraud he is not a trained “psychologist.” So maybe he did not "emote "to everyone's liking . However confronted with such charges if they are not true , I probably would've had to be restrained . Like others of Irish decadency I tend to argue my case passionately ;ESPECIALLY if confronted with charges against my integrity and character .
by the way calling herself Dr is fraudulent . Professor Fraud is more appropriate .

Dr. Ford has two master's degrees and has a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Southern California. She can legally and ethically be addressed as Dr.
Please google this. Here are two sites:
https://www.traditioninaction.org/Qu...063_Titles.htm
2. Rules for spoken language
- When someone has earned a Ph.D. degree he must subsequently be referred to as “Doctor” in formal speech. The same is true of a person who is a medical doctor, psychologist, dentist, veterinarian, osteophatic or naturopathic physician.
- When a holder of a Ph.D. makes a telephone call and is asked “Who is speaking?” or “Who is calling?” he should answer Dr. William Green.
- The same applies to any other type of presentation. When introduced to a new acquaintance by a common friend, the friend would say: “I would like you to meet Dr. Ernest Smith..." then, the holder of a Ph.D. should only say, "Ernest Smith at your service." Should the person introducing you leave out your title - “I would like you to meet my friend Ernest, it is appropriate to say amiably: “Dr. Ernest Smith at your service.”
- If you are introducing someone who holds a Ph.D. as a speaker before an audience, you must use his title: “I have the pleasure to introduce Dr. William Green, who will instruct us this evening on the fruit of his studies on such and such a topic.”

NPR is in the minority. The staff probably scraped through high school.

Typical angry white man rage that justifies denigrating the credibility and accomplishments of other for fear they are losing their dominant place at the top of the food chain. You have tried dismissed DR. Ford and attacked her credibility since she appeared and obviously repubs think they can still bully and shove the well heeled frat boy to higher prominence to further the right wing agenda.
You think no matter what you will have the cloture vote* Friday and the final vote very shortly after no matter what the investigation reveals. The blatant hypocrisy of Slick Mitch and his fellow prune faces from 2016 to this election makes it very evident that time is of the essence for them, and considering the soon to be very public legal woes of their fearless leader the PROVEN lying, cheating, dufus, I can understand the need for speed.
*Cloture Vote; a method of closing a debate and causing an immediate vote to be taken on the question. To close (a debate) by cloture.

yeah cloture works after the FBI report and a reasonable floor debate . Then invoke the Harry Reid nuclear option and end it . IF charges later prove to be true ,he can be impeached .
Bottom line on all of this is that 1 . No term limits to judicial appointments and Congress. 2. SCOTUS power grab from Marbury v Madison where they ruled themselves unequal powers of Judicial Review . It was the first act of the Court “shaping” the Constitution to fit our needs as they see it .. It turned SCOTUS into the final arbiter of constitutional questions. And it really wasn't cited much until the 20th century .As an example ;Lincoln reused to enforce Dred Scott. Andrew Jackson openly defied a decision by Chief Justice Marshall. That is because throughout the 19th century there was an understanding that SCOTUS was an equal branch of government and not one wielding the power of 'final arbiter ' . The reason that SCOTUS appointments are so contentious is because of the unequal almost dictatorial power SCOTUS has over the country . The unelected ,appointed for life black robed oligarchs have way too much power .

Electric dryer taking longer and longer to dry clothes
[ 3 Answers ]
I have an electric dryer that is taking longer and longer times to dry the clothes about 2-1/2 hours to do a standard load. The time seems to be increasing - Is this dangerous? It is probably running my electric bill up? The dryer came with the house I bought a year ago. I would guess the appliance...
