I’m having a hard time with ALL of what’s going on. But then I remind myself of the great progress that’s already been made.
I’m agnostic on a lot of things, but what I find encouraging is the thought that whatever happens, there is going to be some action soon. Waiting for the K confirmation is like slowly removing a bandaid from a raw wound. I just want it over with for better or worse. I suspect that a lot of the stalling is strategic. I’m just not sure if it’s the white hats or the black hats behind it. I strongly suspect that it’s the white hats manipulating the black hats into stalling!
At any rate, I try to step back and ignore some of the minutiae and day to day maneuvering. Otherwise I’m constantly hyped up waiting for things to happen “any second now” and I’m repeatedly disappointed.
I think we’re going to see a solid SC nominee filling the spot, whether it’s K or someone else. (But I’d rather have it sooner instead of later.... sigh.)
The election is just around the corner. I’m predicting a red wave if POTUS can maintain momentum. The Ds and the DS are in panic and disarray. The constant talk of a “blue wave” is wishful thinking and whistling in the dark.
After K (or whoever) is on the bench and after the election, I expect the pace to pick up. But I also expect the DS tactics to escalate. Victory will not come without a cost. My biggest trust issue is trusting POTUS/Q to minimize the cost. So far they’ve done a great job of protecting Joe and Josephine Sixpack and their kids. I pray it continues.
Just imagine what’s going on with the DS and the Q gang behind the scenes while everyone is looking ‘over there’ at the Kavanaugh mess...
