Well…after reading the news over the past couple of days, it appears that everyone in this damn country opposes the attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh being elevated to the supreme court…except for the 51 repubs in the senate. At last count, over 1700 law professors have signed letters saying that Kavanaugh shouldn’t be confirmed…and that is along with two retired supreme court justices and almost 70% of the people polled on the question…and almost two million people who have signed a petition opposing him…making him the candidate with the worst polling and support of any in the history of polling….and yet, the repubs keep pushing forward with this scam that is destroying what little faith the people have in the senate…making the SC illegitimate in the eyes of most of the people and will make Kavanaugh the first sitting justice to be charged with a felony…or multiple felonies of perjury and sexual assault after the dems take back the house and do a real investigation…not the sham that has been perpetrated on the US by McConnell, Hatch, and Grassley. Anyone with any character or honor would have withdrawn with all of the crimes that have been exposed, but in his speech to the senate and yesterday’s op ed in the WSJ, it can clearly be seen that honesty, honor, and duty are foreign concepts to Kavanaugh as they are to every damn repub in this country…and again, it falls to the dems to save this country and clean up the repubs mess as we always do when we get back in control….geez…

Now trump has ruined the FBI…
Well…in keeping with the fact that the idiot trump ruins everything he touches, he has just done that to the FBI with his interference in the investigation of the sexual assaulter, Brett Kavanaugh. It has been revealed today that the FBI was limited to interviewing only 9 people and the ones they did interview were dictated by the WH and the old white guys who are ramming Kavanaugh through the senate…think of that again…the FBI, which is supposed to be an independent investigating organization was told how to do it’s job by the criminal in the WH to protect the criminal they are installing on the SC….what is going to be next from these criminal conspirators? No more elections? Outlawing dems? At this point, nothing McConnell and his criminal cronies do would surprise me…they are ruining this country and stand there grinning about how clever they are for doing it…but, they will pay at the ballot box in November…
This whole damn government is a sham…
Well…I am sitting here trying not to let the destruction of our country get to me too much but some of it is bleeding through and it pisses me off…there is not one honest person on the right in this country and trump an his minions are destroying more and more of it every day and it should piss you off, too. The latest in trump’s ongoing effort to turn the US into a third world backwater has him taking personal charge of the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh and has put so many limits on it that they can’t even talk to Dr. Ford, who brought the allegations of attempted rape against Kavanaugh…oh, and they didn’t talk to Kavanaugh, either…or to any of the more than 20 witnesses that have come forward to corroborate Ford’s allegations…so who the hell are they talking to? Not to one damn person that could shed some light on how bad of a person Kavanaugh was and is…and how many times he has lied to move up the ladder in the courts….I am starting to think that even if we take back the house, there is too much damage already done for the US to survive it…and it is all the repubs fault…I have never seen such a cynical, amoral group of people in my long lifetime…and I just hate them….
Okay Jeff Flake, you’re up…
Well…with all of the posturing that is going on with the supposed “moderate” repubs on the Kavanaugh investigation, I rally have to revisit one comment that Jeff Flake made a few days ago when he said that if Kavanaugh lied to the senate, his nomination was over..well Jeffy, in his testimony just last week, Kavanaugh lied to your face about his knowledge of the Ramirez allegations, saying that he didn’t know anything about them until he saw it in the Sept 23rd article in the New Yorker…only one small problem with that…there are witnesses and text messages that show that Kavanaugh was involved in trying to cover up this assault all the way back in July…trying to get friends (and witnesses) to go on record saying that none of it happened…my question here for Flake, Murkowski, and Collins is: is witness tampering enough for you to vote no? Kavanaugh knew there was an active investigation happening and tried to get people to lie for him…and that is subornation of perjury and another in the long line of felonies that Kavanaugh has committed just in his confirmation hearings….and just yesterday, there was an ethics complaint lodged with the current court he sits on alleging that Kavanaugh lied in his confirmation hearings for every court he has been on…and in a delicious bit of irony, the person who is charge with investigating these claims is Merrick Garland…the eminently qualified judge who was not even given a hearing for his appointment to the SC since McConnell was not going to have a judge appointed by Obama…karma is a bitch, isn’t it, Brett?
Why can’t the repubs do the right thing one damn time?
Well….with the latest revelations that trump and his cronies in the WH are interfering in the FBI investigation of Brett Kavanaugh, I have just one question: why can’t the repubs do the right thing one damn time? Trying to put the fix in on this investigation is just the latest of the repubs always doing the wrong thing…on their tax cut scam that only benefited the rich, on their continuing attempts to gut Obamacare and throw 20 million people of their health insurance, to their continued attempts to take away women’s right to control their own bodies, to gutting environmental regulations that will kill more than 20,000 Americans each and every year, the repubs are on the wrong side of every issue that the polls show Americans care about and are doing their best to destroy this country before they lose in the November elections…and, if they ram Kavanaugh through to the SC, it will de-legitimize the court so that any decisions they make will be seen in the nakedly partisan lens they should be….and the efforts of the dems to impeach and remove Kavanaugh will be the first order when we take back the house and is necessary to restore faith in our government institutions that the repubs have done their best to destroy….I just hate these assholes…
We now know why Mitchell disappeared…
Well…if you watched the rotten, craven spectacle of Brett Kavanaugh’s “testimony” to the senate yesterday, I’m sure you came away with one clear fact, that Kavanaugh is not fit to sit on any court…his raging about conspiracy theories and the underlying elite privilege that he oozed while under “questioning” would be disqualifying in any other day or age…but not with a senate run by partisan hacks that are desperate to take every right away from women in this country…there is one little detail that has flown under the radar since yesterday that needs to be exposed. I’m sure you noticed that the outside prosecutor did not come back after a hastily called break in the proceedings…and the reason for that is being widely reported today and is so damn disturbing that I can’t fathom it…during his testimony, Kavanaugh committed another felony by lying to the senate and Mitchell was going to stop the proceedings and read Kavanaugh his rights as is her responsibility to her oath in Arizona…but, when she told Graham, Hatch, and the rest of the senators, they immediately started to cover up the fact that Kavanaugh had broken the law and made sure she wouldn’t ask another question….taking over for her and turning the rest of the hearing into a love fest for Kavanaugh even though he is an accused rapist that 5 women have now come forward to tell their stories about…and who are ignored as always by the repubs. After yesterday’s debacle, the ABA has withdrawn their recommendation that Kavanaugh be confirmed and called for a full FBI investigation into the allegations…but, the repubs plow on putting this unqualified, entitle little shit on the SC…one bit of good news is that the dems have already started to build the case for impeachment in their private talks with their caucus…we just need to take back the house and senate…and now, women and young people it is up to you…you MUST turn out to vote so we can get rid of the repubs for good…impeach…
Too raw to watch…
Well…was going to watch the Kavanaugh hearing this morning but after a few minutes of Dr. Ford’s testimony, I just can’t watch it anymore knowing that this brave woman is going to be smeared by the repubs in the senate in any way they can…but, reading of it online, it is stunning how most of the people watching, even fox news call her testimony heart wrenching and credible…so what do you do now, repubs? And what do you do with the 4 other women who have come forward to tell their stories of the same kind of abuse at the hands of Kavanaugh and his buddies? We are seeing a true patriot in Doctor Ford…coming forward with nothing to gain and everything to lose…sitting there alone against the entire repub establishment and her bravery is on display for all to see. How does Kavanaugh go on after her and continue to try to lie his way onto the SC? Withdraw now, Brett…and try to atone for your nasty, entitled life…impeach…
It gets worse for Kavanaugh…
Well…if it wasn’t bad enough that the supposed “family man” Brett Kavanaugh has been accused of attempted rape and other sexual assaults before today, the latest should be the final nail in his coffin that will send him scurrying back under the rocks that he inhabited before the repubs tried to foist this smug little asshole on the country and the SC. Today, Michael Avenatti, yep, THAT Michael Avenatti came forward with a sworn statement from another of Kavanaugh’s victims that alleges that Kavanaugh and his entitled buddies drugged this woman and gang raped her at a college house party…part of a pattern of abuse that started with these cretins in high school and continued right through their time at Yale…yep, that’s right, a candidate for the SC put up for the stolen Merrick Garland seat is accused by at least three women of sexual assault including gang rape and the repubs don’t see any problem with that…in fact, for many of the women haters that infest the repub party, it is a badge of honor to see how badly they can treat women…and how women are objects to them, not people…resign…
A few things…
Well…haven’t been doing a lot of politics lately and I think it’s from being overwhelmed with everything that is going on…there is just too much to write about but I am going to try to get to a couple of things here and just see where this goes….just read that the idiot trump is giving a speech at the UN and I think he forgot he’s not at one of his MAGA rallies that are filled with idiots, morons, and racists who buy into his bullshit…it’s not going over so well at the UN and idiot boy is being laughed at by the entire assembled body every time he uses one of his “go to” lines about how he has accomplished more than any other president in history…yep, this is what the US has been reduced to under this moron…we are now the laughing stock of the world. One other thing I wanted to talk about is the transparent attempt to use the firing of Rod Rosenstein as a “smoke bomb” to take attention away from the 4 women who have come forward to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual abuse and attempted rape…yesterday the leakers at the WH were in overdrive trying to get the media to pick up on Rosenstein being fired…or resigning, or not being fired…you get the drift…but they picked up on the lies quite quickly and shifted right back to Kavanaugh’s lies and sexual assaults and that is still the big story of the day…sorry trump minions, you’re losing your touch and we’re not buying your bullshit anymore….okay, that’s enough for now….I may be back for another one later but I need to eat lunch….more later….
“Socialized medicine”
Well…with all of the repub bleating about “socialized medicine” and that it is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone, I just wanted to comment a little on that and the difference that it has made in my life. For the past 16 years, I have not been able to afford health insurance of any kind…with the low end cost of almost 1200 dollars a month that no one could afford when no one will hire someone over 50 years old….with that, it was just a crap shoot to put off all of the care that I should have been doing…the check ups and the attention to problems that can happen as you get older but there was barely enough money to eat, let alone spend the thousands that check ups cost. After I turned 65 and Medicare was made available to me at 134 dollars a month, I was finally able to find out where I stand with my health…with covered check ups and referrals that I am still taking advantage of…I was finally able to see a dermatologist for the sore on my neck that has been there since May and found out it is probably skin cancer…and it is going to be treated this week as the pre-cancerous lesions were during the first appointment…over a dozen of them on my face and scalp…and, here’s the kicker, Medicare covered them without any co-pays or out of pocket expenses…as they will for the colonoscopy that I have scheduled for next month…and as they did for my initial check up that found that my cholesterol and BP were a little high and helped guide me to lifestyle changes to lower my risk of problems down the road. Now, who but a repub could argue that Medicare for all is a bad thing, that taking care of everyone in this country and getting rid of the stress of uncertainty is a bad thing? I know in my case that being able to see a doctor for the first time in 16 years has taken huge amounts of stress out of my life…why shouldn’t we do that for everyone? Ask a repub the next time you talk to one….
