Alito: Bigot or Liar? You Decide.
From Democarcy Now: "In 1985, in a job application to become an assistant attorney general, Alito noted that he was a member of along with the Federalist Society. By 1985 the Concerned Alumni of Princeton was already a highly controversial group because it opposed equal educational opportunities for women, minorities and the disabled.

"On Tuesday, Alito claimed he had no memory of being involved in the organization even though he mentioned the group on the job application."

So basically, either Alito WAS a member of this group and was proud to list it on his job application, or he's a lying sack of shit, trying to pull an "I don't remember" turd out of his ass hole.

Either way, does this sound like someone who should be on the Supreme Court?

They're not mutually exclusive, but his remarks and action PROVE he's at least one.

He's a lousy candidate and a disaster for the nation. This is part of the set-up for fascism.

7. Nothing To Report Here ... And the "Decision" is Not Ours to Make..
This country is ruled by White Supremacists and Lying fascists .

Either the Dems shut down the Senate following a Filibuster, and the so called "nuclear option" or it's all over.

9. Why Ask Us?? We Don't Really Count You Know!
I don't know when this crap will ever stop, I've never seen the likes of it in my life!

No matter WHAT comes up, no matter HOW BAD, the shit keeps hitting the fan, and guess who it sticks to??

This country is in serious need of a name change... This IS NOT America!! This IS NOT a Democracy!

Whatever has happened, and just HOW a bunch of corrupt evil people could have taken us so low in such a short time is waaaaaayyyyy beyond my comprehension! Maybe it WAS a good idea to think about moving somewhere else after 2000!

Maybe Amsterdam... at least there you can keep yourself totally whacked in a different sort of way. The whacking taking place here IS NOT FUN at all, and it's completely scary!

11. My sentiments exactly...
it feels like it's all over but the shouting. The occasional sparks of optimism are quickly extinguished as wishful thinking. Having been sober since '92, taking the edge off reality is as * would say 'hard work'.

12. I Wish Your Quoted Proverb WOULD Actually Hold Some Water!
I run around thinking karma, karma, karma but I suppose that's gone out of style!

Unfortunately the "reality" that needs to be faced is going to blow up in our faces some day!

Exit Stage LEFT!
