The way I see it is:
We have a president who has openly boasted about committing repeated and continuous sexual assault. That president has been accused by more than a dozen women, and those are only the ones that came forward, of sexual assault. That president has now appointed a justice to the Supreme Court how has also been accused by more than one woman for sexual assault, albeit over 30 years ago. The media and his supporters make it sound like sexual assault in high school and college are nothing to worry about, everyone does it. I disagree. But be that as is may, even if I could excuse the indiscretions (or possibly crimes) of his youth, I cannot forgive him lying about it now under oath and in front of the whole country. There is evidence that Kavanaugh lied, a lot, about many facts related to this mess he is in. And that I cannot forgive him for. After all, he is a Supreme Court justice now. How is he going to vote on perjury when it comes up? How are his fellow justices thinking about this?
Can they ever respect him?
Can I ever respect him?
And this president and this Supreme Court justice are now going to decide on women’s rights!
We sure need help now.
Here is a strange fallout:
Senator Susan Collins was the deciding vote. She had to power to stop this.
Now the ire of the nation is upon her. Fundraising against her reelection has escalated, and it’s quite possible that her career as a senator may be ending.
However, why are we targeting her?
Every other Republican senator, save Murkowski, also voted for Kavanaugh.
What is different about Collins and everyone else? Why are we coming after her now, and not all the others that voted the party line.
We truly need help now. Trump has tarnished the image of his office, and Kavanaugh has tarnished that of the Supreme Court. I guess the Senate is next.
Tarnished is too weak a word for the deepening corruption and treason of the Presidency enabled by the weak (or bribed) GOP Congress, the partisan Supreme Court, the DoJ and now the FBI.
Not one of these bodies carries out any checks or balances, upholds the Constitution or stands up to the tyranny the majority of Americans now find themselves under — where there are laws for the people and no law abidance for the government in power.
(Not to mention every Department whose Secretarial appointment was made to ensure its destruction.)
And as for Collins, she has been targeted because her speech reassured every wavering voting conscience so she is doubly guilty. Not to mention her astounding women’s rights’ duplicity. Murkowski didn’t vote NO but covered the missing Senator with PRESENT, so she, too, is as guilty in subverting justice as all the other spineless wimps.
How many young people will give a non-voting finger back to the government that just gave one to them?
What is it about every one of your comments that I always want to make a repost of them as a primary post? Spunky – and very keen. Thanks for your insight. I actually missed the Murkowski snub. Sometimes I just want to go hiking for a few years and come back in 2020 and help clean up.
I just want to live long enough to see the weasels expelled from the WH, congress and — the SC through impeachment and/or prison. (I just had another birthday lat week which are coming now very 4 months it seems.)
I lived to see Sarah Palin dismissed …by enough people. But evil never dies, just goes underground like a fungus.
Yes, Palin has faded, hasn’t she?
She was John the Baptist to Trump.
