I blame Sean Hannity and scumbags like him...

who give voice to and repeat the slimy lies against good people.

This is the type of crap we have to deal with... and it's a powerful persuader

among the poorly educated, that is.

Here is what my sister posted on Facebook... not her own words, but the fact that she reposted it to my attention told me she agrees with it:

"Lady walks up to the cashier with her 5 snot nose kids and buys $20 in groceries with food stamps then pulls out $100 bill and buys 50 lotto tickets.
If you can afford to pay $100 in lotto tickets then you don't need to be on the food stamps that myself and every other hard working person provides you with"

But you know what?

I've taken the gloves off, even with my own family members.

Here was my response:

"It must really suck to be so miserable in life that you're jealous of poor people. Why would you even say 'snot-nosed kids'? It's very disrespectful of small people who are innocent of anything their parents might have done, right or wrong. Furthermore, the frequency of that sort of activity is exaggerated.

And why aren't you angry instead at the TRILLIONS given to RICH people? You only notice people buying lottery tickets because they operate inside your own world, but the BIG thievery happens in places you're not rich enough to attend. That's how Republicans get away with it... they keep you angry at POOR people when poor people are mostly powerless. STOP VOTING AGAINST YOURSELF, and stop being angry at poor people."

Sorry, Michelle.... when they go low I'm not going high any more.

Right now I'm thinking of Susan Sarandon.

Don't know why she popped into my head.

He won't be impeached, but can he be indicted by the House for perjury?

Are Supreme Court justices above the law?

I just alerted my brother I will no longer talk to him.

He has crossed the line by calling Dr. Ford a "lying bitch".

I'm truly, truly sad that my own brother is among the basket of deplorables.

Did this need its own thread? Probably not.

Does the ice in the face show that he loves more than just beer?

I don't typically put ice in my beer, nor do I drink sodas in bars.

I just wrote this missive to my brothers and sisters, with whom I have lost patience.

You're charged with deciding which to believe of two people who have told two opposite things.

Here's how a sane, responsible person decides:

Which of the two has an incentive to lie? Let's go back to yesterday.... Dr. Ford had nothing to gain and much to lose, including her own life, by coming forward. Brett Kavanaugh has a GIANT incentive: the fulfillment of a lifetime goal to get a lifetime appointment on the highest court in the land.

Which of the two has a history of lying to protect himself/herself? We know very little about Dr. Ford, but we sure know that Kavanaugh lied to Congress about stolen documents, and we know from his testimony yesterday that he lied about "Renate alumnius", "devil's triangle", and "boofing"... and we know from his high school and Yale classmates that his claim of never getting out of control as a drunk is patently false. We also know that he lied when he said over and over again that Dr. Ford's four named persons all denied that the event never occurred.

Which of the two wants the light of an investigation to back up their word? We know Dr. Ford insisted on one, and we know that Brett Kavanaugh refused at least 19 times.

Whose account is backed up by evidence? We know that Brett Kavanaugh and his best friend boasted about drunken raucous behavior, we know that his best friend wrote a book naming a "Bart O'Kavanaugh" as a rowdy drunk. We know that Kavanaugh's own calendar contradicts his testimony of not drinking on a weekday, and even admits to drinking beer at a gathering with the very people Dr. Ford named in her accusation.

He's as guilty as sin.

This was not a court of law. In a court of law every responsible citizen would vote "not guilty". But "not guilty" in our system of justice usually means "not proven" rather than not guilty.

He's as guilty as sin.

This was a job interview, not a trial. The standards of putting somebody in jail are different from those we use to confirm or deny a job applicant. Outside of the courtroom we use a preponderance of the evidence rather than "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt".

He's as guilty as sin.

And the next worst part about this? YOU KNOW THAT HE IS, but you insist on eyewitnesses to the crime before you reject him from that job application. Shame on you for miscarrying your civic duty. Shame on you for supporting a proven liar onto our Supreme Court when that's supposed to be a forum for sticking to truth.

Outside of the principal accusation, he lied blatantly at least four times by my count

1- when he kept insisting that four people said "it never happened". For someone to say that they can't recall an incident is not the same as saying it never happened, and Kavanaugh knows that.

2- when he claimed that "Renate alumnius" merely referred to a circle of friends instead of a reference to a sexual conquest and also tried to paint Renate Dolphin's denial of sex with him as some sort of positive.

3- when he said that "devil's triangle" referred to a drinking game

4- when he said that "boofing" referred to flatulence.

Lindsey Graham is a disgusting creature

I really don't care about his homosexuality, although it's pretty self-loathing, in my view, to embrace a political party that would despise him except for his power as a senator.

Aw fuck it... I was going to provide a whole list of how he disgusts me, but I'd be preaching to the choir, I think.

He's just fucking disgusting. I'll leave it at that.
