Kissing Trump's ass is going to backfire spectacularly

Goldman: "Here we are both on immigration & now on this tax bill where President Biden & a bipartisan group of congress are trying to actually solve problems for the American people, & Grassley, Trump, Mike Johnson - they are trying to kill solutions just for political gain" pic.twitter.com/P5CgEGPZKE

Not only the Supreme Court, but the GOP is bought and paid for

Harlan Crow isn't just buying Clarence Thomas to rig SCOTUS. He also spent $693k to own 9 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee:

Cornyn: $463k
Graham: $51,200
Cotton: $39,900
Grassley: $37,400
Lee: $33,600
Cruz: $25,400
Tillis: $21,600
Blackburn: $12,800
Kennedy: $8300 https://t.co/wRLehbvMol pic.twitter.com/t1p5SBsVQc

Because he's covering for the corrupt GOP Justices?

Why would the self-proclaimed Senate Watch Dog himself, @ChuckGrassley, object to a Supreme Court Code of Ethics.

Why would Senator Grassley oppose a code of conduct for the highest court in the land?

What does Grassley want to hide? https://t.co/EfmDml10ZQ

Awful selective in their age discrimination, aren't they?

The same people who claim Biden is too old to be President, keep voting for Mitch and Chuck Grassley. #FreshResists https://t.co/0KBF1vKmBN

This is not the future of America

May you rot and burn in hell...

While today will probably rank third all-time for me in terms of angst, anger, and disgust with the American political system (after 1) Trump winning the election, and 2) Bush defeating Kerry in 2004) in my heart I know this is just one step back before we take two steps forward.  The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, perjurer and sexual deviant, is the last gasp of white American men.  And watching them stumble over their words, lie profusely, and overall embarrass themselves and our nation with their hubris tells me that I am right. 

They are not the future of America.  We are.

And if that's not enough, remember the words often quoted by (it's actually from Theodore Parker, a 19th century American clergyman) one of history's greatest Americans:

          "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice..."

Never fucking stop believing we will win in the end.

Fuck Donald Trump,

Winnin' with Democratic women

Sisters are doing it for the Democratic Party

With the utter shit show the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process has become for republicans (especially for Iowa Senator  Shitheel Chuck Grassley--he can forget the Aw, Shucks, I'm Just Like Your Grandpa routine, as he's now officially a Misogynistic Sexual Assault Enabler), it's not all that surprising that a poll from the L.A. Times shows Democrats with a 62% to 34% advantage among women for the upcoming midterm elections.

There might be enough white Americans for republicans to overcome losing 90% of the African-American vote and 75% of the Latino vote regularly, but there aren't nearly enough white American men for republicans to survive losing over 60% of women.  While I'm sure the republican party will survive in some form, they are pretty much on their way to joining the Whigs in the ash heap of American history.

And the sooner the better--any party choosing a pig like Brett Kavanaugh to be the hill they die on isn't interested in making America great any time soon.

Fuck Donald Trump,
emaycee

Anyway you look at it you lose

Republican = FUCKED

While republicans will probably still get to seat Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, it's hard to see how this is anything but a loss for their party.  Women--already exceedingly pissed and voting increasingly Democratic--are going to be even more irate in lieu of a man sitting on the Supreme Court who a) will most likely vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, and b) is probably a rapist.  Which will likely lead to an even bigger blue wave than currently anticipated.

It's hard to see how Susan Collins' career survives this--she's always positioned herself as a moderate republican and now the truth is out:  she's little more than a toadie for the republican party and she is more than happy to vote to give a monster a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court to keep her party's leaders happy.  Maine Democrats have to be chomping at the bit to run against her in 2020--helped along by the more than a million dollars that have already been raised for her as yet unknown challenger.

Likewise, there has to be a smart Iowan out there who has witnessed an increasingly inept Chuck Grassley and just might like to point out how out of touch he is with Iowa women now that he has a) voted against the Violence Against Women Act, b) soon to have voted twice to put a sexual deviant on the Supreme Court (Clarence Thomas being the first), and c) hired a man fired for sexual harassment to be a spokesman.  Time to put ol' Chuck out to pasture.

Of course, republicans could pull Kavanaugh's nomination--and depress their base just prior to the mid terms.

In the end, the nomination of Brett Kavanugh for the Supreme Court will likely go down as one of the most colossal political blunders in recent memory--right up there with nominating Donald Trump to be your party's leader....

No, it's Iowa

What the Iowa?

With another upset win this week (Wisconsin) Democratic enthusiasm and confidence continues to grow for the elections this November.  I, however, after the 2016 election fiasco (Hillary was a lock for President, Dems were going to win back the Senate) have pretty much become the Doubting Thomas of Democrats:  I'll believe we're going to win when we actually win the race.  The poll numbers all too often look much better for us than the actual result, and conversely, republican poll numbers seem to look worse than they actually turn out to be.

Still...

After the past couple of elections, I have begun to believe that Iowa, for Democrats, is going the way of Missouri.  Joni Ernst absolutely crushed Bruce Braley in the 2014 Iowa Senate race, we pretty much get our clocks cleaned in three out of the four U.S. Rep races, and Donald Trump won easily over Hillary Clinton--the math just doesn't look good.  We're getting beat and we're getting beat badly.

Cue, however, to this week.  Both of their Senators, Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley, had townhalls in their home state this week...and they both went about as badly as they possibly could--in republican friendly rural areas.  Ernst sounded Palinesque as she tried to explain Trumps racist comments about shithole countries by noting that Norway was close to Russia.  She pretty much got laughed out of the room.  Grassley kept trying to deflect questions about Trump's competency which his constituents were having no part of, and even worse, when asked if he would promise not to cut Social Security or Medicare, Grassley refused.  Can't you just see his next opponent already filming the political ads for that colossal mistake?

Who knows?  Maybe there is something magical in Iowa's cornfields that brings the dead back to life to play ball....

The enemy within

Et tu, Chuck?

With Dianne Feinstein's release of the GPS fusion transcripts this week it is becoming increasingly obvious that republicans are trying to do everything they can to undermine American democracy and are flirting with, if not actually guilty of, treason.

And when the republican temple comes tumbling down, it's important that not just Donald Trump be removed from office, but also all of those who undermined the Russian collusion investigations--from Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan to Devin Nunes and Chuck Grassley--are removed from office as well.  They have all obfuscated, diverted, and outright lied about investigations that are proving more and more each day that a hostile nation colluded with the Trump campaign to influence the 2016 election.

These people are traitors to our country and should be treated as such.

Fuck Donald Trump,
emaycee

This is the republican party, part the first

Not your grandpa--just another rich, white asshole

Iowa's idiot senior Senator, Chuck Grassley, was quoted this week claiming the estate tax penalizes people who save their money, quite unlike the rest of us who spend all of our money on "...booze or women or movies."

You know, I do spend a bit of my money on a woman--surprisingly enough, my partner likes to eat and have a place to live.  And about once a year we can afford to go to the movies.  And while I don't drink anymore, at one time in my life I enjoyed the occasional beer.  You know what those things are called?

Being an American.

And for all Grassley's 'aw,shucks, folks" pretending, the plain truth of the matter is that he--and the party he represents--is an elitist who looks down his nose at those of us who work for a living just like every other rich, white asshole.

As far as I'm concerned, Grassley can go fuck himself.

Fuck Donald Trump,
