“...Sparactus Booker...”

Spartacus Booker??? Chuckle, Not so much, I think.

Spartacus was a MAN.

Christina Ford said she would not testify if Brett Kavanaugh is in the same room.”

Kavanaughs are good people, but I’d put his two girls in the front row at the hearing.

Their parents would never subject them to that.

Re: “Brett Kavanaugh is a casualty of an anything-goes political resistance.”

No.

He is the victim of a Republican Party that has no national leadership and is too cowardly to fight back.

When Trump and the Congressional leadership let the Democrats flush former EPA Director Scott Pruitt down the toilet, the game was over.

Scott Pruitt was the only consequential Conservative in the Trump Administration.

Get used to the Kavanaugh drama.

We're going to be watching the same movie every month for the next 2-6 years.

What have democrats become?

They’ve thrown their lot in with Satan. They love lies and hate the truth. Their father is the Father of Lies.

They have the instincts of murderers.

This is all about Abortion

Which casts a large net for many a woman’s soul to deliver to the dark prince

Feinstein and Durbin and Gilleebrand and all these celebrity harlots are all doing his bidding

That’s the focus of all of this.

MUST READ ARTICLE.

“...Politics as trench warfare has relieved the Democrats of the burden of thought. Extending the Pelosi Rule—we have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it—we now have the Gillibrand Standard.

Commenting this week on Ford v. Kavanaugh, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, another 2020 presidential aspirant, said, “I believe it is disqualifying, given what we know.” In other words, what she believes is based on next to nothing.

Put on defense by these accusations, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley unsurprisingly agreed to a hearing in which Ms. Ford would tell her story and Judge Kavanaugh would speak. Then the senators would vote.

Consider the spectacle: Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination for the U.S. Supreme Court, the embodiment of a modern rule of law, is being decided in the Senate by the medieval practice of trial by ordeal, such as surviving immersion in fire or ice. Trial by ordeal was outlawed by the Lateran Council in 1215...”

I hope you’re wrong. But even though Pres. Bush stood with Thomas, he was a weak president.

Trump appears to stand by Kavanaugh. I feel certain that intel is being used to blackmail the Republican leadership who are acting like sissy boys ever so sensitive to an obviously conniving pink pussyhat wearing liar.

The GOP will be deservedly punished if they cave.


Which is exactly their plan! We have to stick it out. Primaries are where we extract justice and vote out incumbents. But for now, we hold our nose and hang in there.

Eventually the Rats will regret this. Even members of their own are getting fed up

Liberal (traditional) Democrats are already regretting this; it's the Leftists now firmly in control of the party who, as Dennis Prager has often noted, think that "one can never be too far "Left". (He's also often noted:"Being on the Left means never having to say you're sorry."

Just ran across this quote from Judge Learned Hand:

"That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, becomes a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification of backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent."

Any of your friends and family who are unengaged politically need to realize that if the Dems get back into power THIS is how they will be ruling over us.

Re: “Trump appears to stand by Kavanaugh.”

I agree.

However, I don't see the deeply felt fighting spirit which is essential to stop this Hard Left tyranny in its tracks.

As to blackmail against the GOP Congressional leadership....

I have never really bought into that idea.

I mean, why would any rational Republican with deep dark secrets run for political office knowing what the Hard Left news media and the politically corrupt DOJ and FBI can do to you?

My opinion - most Republican leaders quietly support a center-left political agenda.
