"Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength,” reflected longshoreman philosopher Eric Hoffer. The events of the last month affirm this wisdom.
A Democratic Party lacking the White House, majorities in the House of Representatives and Senate, and the Supreme Court imitated strength in practicing rudeness. Now, hours before the confirmation vote that they sought to postpone, the Democrats’ boisterousness appears, belatedly at least, as camouflage for weakness. This weakness, which may seem anything but when in earshot of protesters, appears most apparent in the U.S. Senate. Democrats lack the raw numbers to win.
Unable to rely on an institutional or the democratic apparatus to derail Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, they embraced a by-any-means-necessary strategy.
Jackson A. Cosko, 27, a “fellow” paid by an outside group to work for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and a recent employee of Senator Maggie Hassan, appeared in federal court on Thursday on charges related to the doxxing — the unauthorized publication of personal details for the purpose of harassment — of several senators, including Orrin Hatch, Mike Lee, and Lindsey Graham. Cosko allegedly posted personal telephone numbers and home addresses using a Senate computer.

1868, maybe earlier.
Based on how they keep attempting to throw conservative speakers out of legitimate venues, I think we ought to hang the “anti-First-Amendment” moniker on them. So antifa works just fine for me!
Interviewers from Fox should ask them if they realize that “antifa” stands for “anti First Amendment” and see how they react.
Part of my brain says that the original organizers from the left actually had this in mind.
Are you kidding? They split the nation and started a war that killed hundreds of thousands, lynched blacks, attacked Civil Rights activists and the Republicans who supported them, and instigated union violence, all for the sake of getting or keeping what they thought they were entitled to. This is just the latest example.
Andrew Jackson pulls dirty election stunts that the current democrats are only badly imitating.
The surprise is when they act like civilize honest people. Not when they act like corrupt thugs. That is their heritage.
Yep, 1968. Specifically Feb. 27, 1968. That’s the day Walter Chronkite betrayed the nation with his infamous “Stalemate” broadcast.
