With the final Kavanaugh confirmation vote today, America will have lost. The wrong man elevated. The Supreme Court conservative for the next half century.
I am not going to waste time by going over the facts. They have been seared in all our minds.
A couple of admonitions.
First, a leopard never changes his spots. Known to God and man even back to the Old Testament: “Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?” Jeremiah 13:23.
The second, what goes around comes around. Kavanaugh will get his. Other damaging matters will come out. Those who supported him will get theirs, also. Look for new faces in Washington. Enough people are disturbed.
Haircut with Lori yesterday. Back to being bald for a few days.
Last night, Blue Macaw. After hellos to Donna and Terri and John and Fiona, spent the evening with Mary and Doug. Interesting people. Mary a tour guide at the Little White House. An expert on Truman. Doug a guide at the Hemingway House. An expert on Hemingway.
We talked of Truman and Hemingway. Condolences offered re my friend David Wolkowsky. Politics consumed most of the evening. We were three unhappy campers re how the Kavanaugh vote had gone and will go today.
A wonderful afternoon ahead. Syracuse/Pitt. Louis in a comfortable easy chair, feet up on an ottoman and the TV set in front of me.
I am especially excited since Syracuse is having a decent season for the first time in 20 years. The spread is 5 points. I think it wrong. Should be 20 or more.
I have been reading How To Win A Fight With A Conservative. Figure I might as well get ready. They are taking over everything.
Interesting tid-bits.
A few shared.
Comedian George Carlin offered…..”Conservatives will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. No nothing. No prenatal care, no day care, no Head Start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”
Russ Limbaugh is much like Donald Trump…..”Now, how can I be anti-woman? I even judged the Miss America pageant.”
The Missouri legislature was debating a program that feeds poor children. A Republican State Representative argued against the program. No free food for children. Suggested they should get jobs instead…..”Hunger can be a positive motivator.”
The Divinely inspired Pat Robertson had his say re females…..”The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.”
And they say Democrats are bad!
Enjoy your day!
We have a new Justice. The conservatives are taking back the country and its about time.
No, Republicans, not Conservatives are taking over the country and it is a hostile takeover done with dishonesty and deception.
Trump continues to soil this nation. He could not do this alone and the GOP has rolled over to his whim. The Republican Party is no more and this will not fair well for them. Nearly everything Trump has done can be fixed, much in the way he “erased” President Obama’s legacy. The appointments to SCOTUS is a bit more complex but not nearly untouchable. Kavanaugh is not out of the deep water yet. The House will likely go Blue, a unrestrained investigation ordered. Trump could have avoided this but given his record of picking the “best people” he just won’t do better. Trump is counting on Kav to block for him and Hatch’s Amicus Brief to change the law which will protect his inner circle from state charges. Trump corrupts absolutely!
Whatever happened to truth, justice and the American way?
Fundamental fairness and due process are neither conservative or liberal. It isn’t right and left, it’s right and wrong.
The way the democrats are acting is wrong.
Incorrect, the Merrick Garland affair is only one example of that. Brett Garland’s lies under oath is another. Both wrong, neither by Democrats.
