It's not really a "correction" if the core focus of your story is completely wrong. You explicitly said that her specific religious group inspired the book, now you're saying that it was just Catholic groups in general. Well fuck it, by that logic all Muslims are terrorists then.

Charismatic Catholic communities are actually pretty chill. They don't really talk about politics; it's all about evangelizing people by forming friendships with them and praying with them.

Which makes calumny of this scale all the more infuriating. These journo shitbirds are telling lies about personal friends of mine now.

Thought this would be important screenshot to share. So he may still vote against the candidate but it’s not a hard no like some other Republican Senators. I think he’s slightly more likely to vote for the nominee than against.

Romney just said he will vote. So, does this mean it's done and dusted?

Grassley confirmed yesterday and Gardner also.

Yeah he's totally caved and will support the Trump nominee. Have to say I'm a little shocked, the dude who voted to impeach Trump now supporting his SCOTUS pick? I guess the pressure from back home was too much and when all is said and done he still wants to remain a member of the GOP. Anyway you can tie a bow in this, Collins will be allowed to vote against to help her re-election and Munchin will vote in favor as it won't matter (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if a few other Dem Senators in red states do the same).

Now watch while the Dems reign back on the mail in ballot strategy. Allowing voting after election day and unsupervised chain of custody was only ever going to be feasible with a friendly SCOTUS, that's now gone. They'll all now be screaming for Dem voters to vote in person else they risk losing the House as well as the Presidency.

Newsweek isn't on the brink of collapse -- it collapsed some time ago. It stopped being a print publication eight years ago, after it was bought by The Daily Beast. It's been passed around like a cheap-but-overpriced whore since then. And it sucked when it was still "respectable." Remember that it was Newsweek that spiked Isikoff's Clinton-Lewinski story, opening the way for the then-great Drudge to break it. Two years ago Jonathan Alter said that Newsweek is to what it once was as shit is to prime rib. (Or words to that effect.) Now it's known pretty much only for its fuckups. It's one bad day away from running "Bat Boy says he'll step in to empty court seat."

If he wanted to stop the nomination he wouldn't be supporting bringing it to the floor. This is Romney's usual 'muh principles' bullshit, he's totally caved.

Margaret Atwood herself clearly says in the foreword to the book she was inspired by iran turning to fundamental islam, then saw some supposed parallels in the (at the time) ascendant religious right. It bears mentioning she is canadian and thought that could never happen in canada, only the backward US.

So to claim now it was inspired by Catholics in general is stupid.

Voting down a supreme court pick is a good way to nuke your political career. Its the one thing pro-life people care about the most.

So now all the Dems' gushing over Mittens being a "principled conservative" from the impeachment debacle earlier this is gonna get memory-holed.

Come to think of it, are libs memory-holing their previous statements on purpose, or are they just not capable of having memory span longer than a gnat with a concussion? This could be one exception to my non-belief in Hanlon's Razor.

Nobody reads the corrections anyway. It's not like Newsweek has to give the adsense cash back...

They'll just say whatever is convenient in the moment, because reality is a white capitalist patriarchal construct or some such bullshit. I remember a few years ago when NYU re-enacted the Trump-Clinton debates with the sexes swapped with the intention of proving that Hillary lost because of sexism. Much to their surprise, the audience preferred the blunt, scrappy female Trump to the oleaginous smiles of the male Clinton. How quickly that was forgotten!

Lmao.

"She's from the Handmaiden's Tale Cult!" Wait, that won't work..
"She's from a cult that's like the Handmaiden's Tale cult!" Wait, that was a book about Muslims..
"... She's a lawyer and she criticized a law, once!"

If this story takes any more sudden turns I'm gonna' sue them for giving me fucking whiplash.

Maybe, but also his impeachment vote only hurt Trump, who he hates. It was a thumb in his eye.

Voting against this hurts McConnell and the entire GOP and their long-term goals. Apples and oranges.
