These people, I will not call them Senators, they are not worthy of the title, need to do the right thing. Some of us, those of us who are honest, those of us who see beyond these petty partisan politics, know what the right thing is. It is a crying shame that so many do not.
So many of these politicians may, at one point in their lives, have known the difference between right and wrong. So many of them now, have no idea. Their party comes first, their own lust for power comes first.
It sickens me.
I await the Senate's next move. For some reason, I very much doubt that they will do the honorable thing. Most of them have no concept of honor, of dignity, of loyalty to their country and to the people they are bound, by oath, to serve.
I did not watch any of it, I don't have the stomach for it anymore.
A pox on them, and their houses.
During football games in high school a few us would yell chants.... "Pins and Needles, Pins and Needles, what a Pri....no...no... er...ah... "We got a rope, We got a tree, We're gonna hang the referee!" Ayup, some adults sitting around would give us "The Look" and some would chuckle...."kids". Now substitute Senators for referee. End transmission.
ReplyDeleteCopy all. Roger that.
DeleteNor did I watch. I did not want to put my TV in harms way. It's been that way for quite a while. "Far and balanced" on Fox means they give the extreme fringe left (is there any other kind) a chance to speak their mindless dribble. But I never hear it for I will change the channel before they even begin.
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as "fair and balanced" coverage on U.S. TV. Just report the facts of the matter, the who, what, when, where. I can draw my own conclusions from the facts. Opinions, that's what we get.
DeleteListening to Senator Graham unloading on his colleagues reminded me of First Sargent on a roll.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about that, I might have to watch that clip.
DeleteI did watch it.
ReplyDeleteI cried for Judge Kavanaugh and his sweet wife.
I cried for the downfall of our government of law.
I was sickened by the Democrat party Senators.
I was appalled by the whole spectacle.
Appalled indeed.
DeleteDr.Ford seemed out of focus, in many ways. She seemed to have to clear her thoughts with her lawyers a lot. I think something rather bad may very well have happened to her, but it wasn't at the hands of Brett Kananaugh. But what seems the most likely occurrence was that some of her Democratic friends found out that something had happened, and planted in her mind that Mr. Kavanaugh was to blame.
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats, aware that a Constitutional Supreme Court would be the end of the line for them, and being consumed with hatred and contempt for anyone not if their own, saw the destruction of Brett Kavanaugh as the only possible way to save themselves. This,I believe they have failed to do. But, they have demonstrated how vile and low they are, and in the case of Booker, Harris, Feinstein, and especially Pelosi and Schumer, how evil they are. This combined with overwhelming arrogance, and an astonishing level of stupidity, are now made clear to all who watched. I think the Democrats have damaged themselves, in this. Leave us hope so.
YEAH!! Everything you said here!!!
DeleteScott - a Constitutional Supreme Court? What a concept, neh?
DeleteConcur BC.
DeleteWell said,Badger.
DeleteYes, indeed.
DeleteThe only difference between Ms. Ford and a Muppet is the hand up a muppet's buttocks is generally smarter than the average demo senator.
DeleteStupid lady, she got played. Hope she is used to being the dem's meat puppet.
And, yeah, what ScotttheBadger said. He needs to take the BigBadgerBoat and go a-Viking up the Potomac.
Lemme see, progressive professor from California. She got what she deserves. Played,
DeleteIt is disgusting to witness how low the standards have fallen within the political establishment. The Advise and Consent clause of the Constitution was intended to ensure that presidents did not appoint unqualified people to high positions in the government. It was never intended to allow members of the Senate to substitute their judgement for the president's in the selection of nominees. So long as the nominee met the basic qualifications to do the job they were expected to be approved. In recent years the Democrats have adopted a strategy of character assassination to destroy any nominee, regardless of their excellence and unquestionable qualification, if they did not share the Democratic Party line on issues such as abortion. They are willing to do anything, no matter how despicable, to protect Roe v. Wade.
ReplyDelete...and YOU TOO!!
DeleteSarge, you've got some good minds reading your blog!
Absolutely Dave! Roe v. Wade should NEVER have gone to the Supreme Court, it should have been left to the states. The Feds overreached on that.
DeleteConcur again BC, we have some fine folks here.
DeleteI don't think I have ever been as angry as I have been over this whole Kavanaugh thing. To me, it is further proof that there is one party in this country that cannot and will not accept the outcome of an election. They consider that they are the ONLY ones fit to lead and I wonder where that thinking takes us. That they are willing to destroy a man's whole life to achieve their goals is appalling. My concern is that they will become more and more extreme in their tactics and where that all will end. I fear for this country.
ReplyDelete'Tis my fear as well. If we lose the rule of law, we're just another 3rd World Shitehole.
DeleteYou are so correct in your assessment. I watched a few recaps, but the entire Democrat show was disgusting to me. How do they get any sleep? The issue is always the outcome, never the process. Alinsky, thank you.
ReplyDeleteConcur!
DeleteHow do they get any sleep?
DeleteIt's easy if you have absolutely zero conscience, honor, integrity, compassion, empathy or any other positive component of humanity. In other words, IF YOU'RE A LIBERAL. You can have those characteristics and be a conservative, but you cannot have any of those and be a liberal in today's meaning of the word.
Once again, my voting rubric
1. No Democrat, NOT EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
2. No incumbent
3. No unopposed.
Pissed? You betcha'
What juvat said, sociopathic and psychopathic people tend to sleep very well. It's the people with actual moral values that toss and turn at night.
DeleteJuvat - You hit the nail on the head. A few months ago I would have said that you're talking about progressives, not liberals. Bitter experience seems to indicate that in DC, there is no distinction between the two.
DeleteBeans - Concur.
DeleteNear as I can tell, they are the same animal. Did any of you see Anne Hathaway's repellent speech to the "human rights " award as he received last week? That woman has slipped her moorings!
DeleteI did not see that. Kinda glad I didn't, would've made me nauseous.
DeletePeople, seem to forget, do you want a judge who is fair, or one with an agenda. Is a law always right, or are there unjustified laws? I don't care if a judge is democratic or Republican, as long as he is fair. This one helped to draft the torture documents that were added to our laws. Helped draft the no trial laws. That turned me off of him.
ReplyDeleteNot showing g his record, is the other. But, then again, I have a thing against judges and politics. Especially when mixed.
If you mean "fair" as "enforce the law as written" then I agree. Sometimes the law isn't fair, but that isn't for a judge to decide. We have far too many judges now who legislate from the bench. Which is unconstitutional in the extreme.
DeleteMixing the judiciary with politics is exactly what some politicians try to do. Sickening.
I learned a lot through this debacle, but only through ancillary documentation. Normal caveat applies here: (D) = dangerous; (R) = stupid
ReplyDeleteI'll throw some links on here for you. But this really reminded me of Clarence Thomas. Just no public hairs on soda pop cans.

Democrats (hypocrite much?) https://gunfreezone.net/index.php/2018/09/27/hypocrisy-overload-spread-this-info/
My son watched it and was appalled. He saw right through them, and got a good education on what runs our country. He was incredulous. A good education for the masses, too, I hope.
We shall see.
DeleteHopefully the voters were paying attention.
I've heard rumblings from even the very left leftists in my county that the Dems have over-reached and over-played their hands, showing too much progressivism over the last few years.
DeleteOn the other hand, the openly socialistic socialists in my county are happy as can be.
So, basically, the Democratic Elite have finally shown everyone exactly what master they serve, and it's a disciple of the Morningstar.
Yup, they have gone overboard. I have no idea what it is they seek, but it isn't a constitutional republic.
DeleteI think that both Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi want to become First Leader, not having the brains to realize they are actually trying to set up George Soros, as Supreme Leader.
DeleteUseful idiots. Stalin had them, Mao had them, Hitler had them...
DeleteSoros has them. Premier of China has them. Guvner Moonbeam has them...
DeleteYep, seeing a pattern I am...
DeleteI am angry to the point of "ain't got the words" and so disgusted it put me off my feed. But I an not surprised. I am not particularly religious either, but something popped into my head. Paul Harvey's "So God Made a Farmer".
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UBj4Rbq3ZI
Only for farmer, insert Bret Kavanaugh. Then, a laundry list of a nation that needed someone to stand up to the hurricane of slime from the left, needed someone whose courage and honor that would expose the left for what they are. I would not presume to re-write Mr. Harvey's masterpiece, but you get the idea.
Excellent point RHT447.
DeleteThe Big Ds are still throwing their Terrible Twos temper tantrum because the woman who enabled a serial rapist for over 40 didn't get the office that she paid for with bribes from Russia.
ReplyDeleteMy senators, the Divine Ms. Di, who apparently spent most of her career in the US Senate working for the Peoples Republic of China either through her driver or through her husband who fronted for many Chinese companies over the decades, and Kamala Harris, who slept her way into San Francisco politics, and then has used every office as nothing but a stepping stone to more power in a higher office, are the worst of the slimy bunch.
But, but, it was her turn! I despise Shrillary with every fiber of my being. As for California's two "senators," despicable fits them to a T.
DeleteHer turn against the wall, maybe.
DeleteNow there's a thought...
DeleteThese people are Socialist Progressives. That is the name of their political party. And they should be lined up against a wall. They want power, they want it and not share it, nor diffuse it. THEY are the evil ones--NOT Kavanaugh (I'm looking at you, Booker).
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm hoping they've overplayed their hand and voters will see them for what they really are.
DeleteYou know, the more I think about politics in the new age of Trump, I really think there is a chance that the Republicans, once the party of stupid, have actually wised up and are playing the Dems.
ReplyDeleteHere's why. Look at the Dems who are very vunerable right now. Keith Ellison, who has very credible charges of domestic battery on him, is being ignored by the Dems as a whole.
So, the Republicans are allowing this whole shite-show over the safest, blandest, most boring nominee ever.
Now, try to hide Ellison's actions once this nomination fight is over. Believe Ford? They've bent over backwards for one of the biggest liars in the world. Now try to deny actual, credible reports backed up with real, verifiable evidence, with police reports.
Kinda the whole hoisting them with their own petards thingy.
No where is this a justification for the trashing of a really good man. But I have a feeling that after all of this, the tables will be turned on the idiots who caused all of this.
And the mask is totally off the Party of Evil. Between their open pronouncements before any of the hearings even started and the way they are all just falling in the party line, only the stupidest of the stupid can deny the evilness of the Party of Evil.
Shack.
DeleteEvery time you do that I get "Love Shack" by the B-52s running through my head.
DeleteBut since I liked the B-52s before most everyone else did, well, that's a good thing.
And I like the plane B-52s also.
Hahaha, I shall try to control myself in the future. (Though I too like the song, and the aircraft.)
DeleteYeah, right. You and control in the same room? Hahahahahaha!
DeleteAnd the tall female B-52 singer I always thought was pretty good lookin.
So, Shack.
Well, I liked the short one.
DeleteYeah, shack.
I've only watched a few recaps, (Lindsay Graham comes off the top rope!), as I can't sit still or be quiet for most Congressional testimony. Neo-Neocon's post from last evening on why she wouldn't watch neatly summed up my feelings.
ReplyDeleteElections have consequences, so of course most political appointees (like Judges, who'd have thought?) will fit with the views and preferences of the President in power. Maneuvering for advantage through the process, like Gorsuch, is to be expected. But outright character assassination like we've seen? Beyond the pale. Are the Dems really prepared to say that every male graduate of not only Georgetown Prep but Yale ( ! ) are predators? They've opened the door. And as we've seen with social mobs recently, they have a decided tendency to turn on their creators.
/
L.J.
The problem is that one party only considers that elections have consequences when they are in the majority. I've literally seen retarded children act better and more adult than the pack of weiner-heads currently in the minority positions of Congress.
DeleteEvery socialist revolution has devoured those who started it. It's only a matter of time L.J. Just hoping that it's not too late.
DeleteBeans - My only question is "Have the Dems always been like this?"
DeleteHistory seems to indicate that, with some exceptions, yes. At least on the national level.
I think your question doesn't go quite deep enough. My version is "Has Mankind always been like this?" to which the answer is yes. The followers of JudeoChristian, and a few other religion's, tenets vs the sordid history of mankind seem to reinforce that answer. Self-discipline to do what's right and not do something wrong vs "what ever feels good, do it" mentality. Simplistic, I know, but I think the Bible addresses this exact problem quite well, with a, quite literally biblical plethora of examples, and people still argue over it.
DeleteAll that having been said, rest well this weekend, my Friend. I hope and pray the surgery goes well next Tuesday and I look forward to you, also quite literally, "seeing" me in a couple of weeks.
+1
DeleteNailed it Juvat.
Counting the days.
So by the time I got home from work Thursday I had a splitting headache, every patient had their TV on, and the hearing was also playing on the radio...by the end of the day I was glad I have Siris XM radio and could listen to the 60's so my elevated blood pressure didn't cause my head to explode.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone above. I did see when Lindsey Graham went off on like everyone both Republican and Democrat, and thought he did a great job. Never liked the guy until I heard him rip everyone a new one.
As someone who has been attacked, I do feel (and was glad to see Grassley said) Ford needed to tell her story, but, I find it hard to believe her as ever single person I have ever talked with who has PTSD remembers events, usually way too well...that is the problem. I can tell you as a 15 year old gal, I did not tell my parents what happened to me, nor would I to this day...but I remember all of it, who, where, when, how...but I was also smart enough not to go out drinking when in high school, though a fair amount of it went on. She had a great story, but no facts, or none that could be verified, even HER "witnesses" said nothing happened, or they couldn't remember. Trust me, if something like that happened to one of my girlfriends, I would remember! So it really fails the smell test to me.
I guess my biggest kavitch with all of this is why are we dragging up crap from high school (35!!! years ago) Why do we care about anything from before he graduated from collage?? In 35+ years everyone changes...judge him on his work performance over the past 20 years. He passed 6 (!!) FBI background checks, seriously doubt another one will change any thing or any minds...just hold the stinking vote for crying out loud!!
I do feel very sorry for his 2 daughters, and his wife having to see him get dragged backwards through a knothole. No one deserves to see their dad treated the way he has been.
And I am afraid that the next time a President (any President) asks someone else to agree to be nominated to any court, but especially the Supreme Court, they will get laughed out of the room. The only thing that gives me hope is everyone, and I mean everyone I saw Thursday, and again today, are watching, folks are paying attention. November could be very interesting, as in the Chinese way of interesting...I think the radicals progressive socialists in DC have not a clue about how the rest of the country is looking at them. Folks think that 2016 was a wake up election---I think we haven't seen nothing yet.
I hope you're right Suz. To me this whole circus has been a clarion call to those who refuse to see the truth.
DeleteBut the deluded love their delusions, November leaves me with a sick feeling. Of course, 2016 did as well, and that turned out better than I had expected. Not for who won, but for who lost.
For a while I thought I had tuned in to "The Godfather II"
ReplyDeleteSeriously, difficult to know who to believe. I think something happened to Dr. Ford, but was Brett? I wish she could pin down at least an approximate date...August, or the week after the 4th of July, women are usually very precise with dates, and where was this party, it must have been on a friday or saturday when parents might not be home, and why did she have a swim suit under her clothes? DId the house have a pool? might narrow down the where. WHth out the when and the where, how can BK possibly have an alibi? And who told her of the party, who did she go with, 15 YO girls seldom ever go anywhere by themselves...it does give me pause that these questions have no answer, butthen that is the problem with 35 year old accusations.
Very true. I think something did happen to her, I doubt it was Kavanaugh.
DeleteThirty-five years is a long time. Far too late to discern the truth. But the fact of the matter is, the politicians don't give a damn about justice.
Exactly! You could drive a semi through the holes in this story. As for the other allegations in the news...well, this is a family friendly blog, but you could find better, more believable stories in the Letters to the Editor of Penthouse...that's all I have to say. And the fact that this is being seriously considered in the Senate!!! Just way over the top of beyond stupid, not to mention beneath sub-gutter level of trashy. Bet the FBI guys were rolling their eyes when they heard they have to look into this mess.
ReplyDeleteThink of this as well, an FBI which has been discredited in many ways over the last few months.
DeleteIf they find nothing, will anyone believe them? If they find something, will anyone believe them?
Rock, meet hard place.
The real victim in this charade is not Ford or Kavanaugh. No it's our country and system of government, it has been violently raped by a bunch of vandals and barbarians whose only agenda is the acquisition of power and belief that they have the total right to rule the "little people".
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteIt was said by one of the most evil of senators but nonethess it is true. We are now enjoying the politics of personal destruction. I cannot think why any man of good will would subject himself to the nasty and viciuous circus. It was always thus. It is a truism that the lower House of Parliament is two swords blades in width across the aisle because not every one gave fair warning as Oliver Cromwell did and too many duels were bound to be disruptive to the appetites of regular parliamentarians.
ReplyDeleteYes, apparently it's how the left, and their fellow travelers, have always done things.
DeleteTreason is afoot.
