Hmm - I heard a clip of Collins speaking .... she seemed quite opposed and offended by his behaviours and I had a sense she would not support.

My mistake - it was actually another woman I heard speaking today.
 
There are so many reasons not to confirm his appointment. Sex assault allegations are a big one - and yes he is innocent until proven guilty - but his behaviour during his hearing was terrible and showed how unfit he is, and what a sense of entitlement to power he has (anyone still certain about "meritocracy"? What merit does he have other than "pedigree" and having gone to "good" schools? He actually seems like a bit of a dolt.) That's scary. And the recent investigation was just window dressing made to seem like they did their due diligence. In just over a week? They skimmed through it. And now Republicans just want to cram the vote through. It's just wrong.

I wonder if this will hurt republicans in the midterms.

This whole scenario reminds me of the story of David......how could God bless or love such a person? Whether it's Kavanaugh or Trump, what are we missing that God sees?
 
Trump and Republicans never intended for this past week's Kavanaugh investigation to be thorough, I don't think. There were people clamouring to give the FBI info, but were ignored because Trump purposely put narrow parameters on it. I don't believe anything that most of them say. They lie brazenly and openly and I don't even understand how any mainstream Republicans put up with it. Watch this, it's indicative of the Trump era. It's word for word lies.

Is partisan politics underground? Considering the use of the word underground as applied to French and Spanish opposition to Nazi-isms!

What can get lower without a coming out on the other side of de mire? De dirt projecting a darker shadow downwind of delight! Even the Earth does that in space as creates eclipsis ... umbra, and penumbra ... amber if your caught in the dark rye state ... coven ante 'de AD (like being buried in the others' head or mind ... AD continuum)?

This too goes on and on dramatically in some schools ... and still they do not learn ... monumental monarchal edict ... after god said we needed no king only a spot of common sense! Yet common is those demos ...
 
So, she’s talking about what Fox and the like do to her.

I don’t think Ford coming forward about Kavanaugh started out as a smear. In fact, Diane Feinstein (to some people’s disappointment actually, because they misunderstood) kept Ford’s report confidential initially because senators have a duty to respect their constituents confidentiality wishes - especially with a subject as personally sensitive as sexual assault. I don’t know, but I suspect that Ford probably was urged to talk about it publicly- but not as a political ploy...hmm...I mean, I suppose that could’ve been part of it from Dem politicians perspectives, that they just don’t want Kavanaugh on the SC and they want the seat open until they can fill it - political games, yes, I think the career Dem politicians play games too. But from an ordinary citizen’s perspective, a woman’s perspective, and a survivor’s perspective, and anyone who is concerned about the ability of a judge to be impartial and balanced and not abusing power when making decisions that affect all Americans, not just Trump supporters...she had to say something. She clearly had alarm bells going off about Kavanaugh (just imagine someone seeing their assailant being appointed to the highest judicial seat in the country, and knowing she didn’t say anything, and how she’d feel then) ...and that is totally understandable. I believe Ford and understood why she said something when she did, and why it was left to what seemed like the last minute. She may have prefered not to ever go public if Kavanaugh wasn’t a SC nominee. From Ford, I don’t think it was a political smear. I think it was the truth, even if the Dems politicized it. Even if they did...he should not have made it that high up. Neither should he if he happened to be a Democrat. It’s just not the job he should be doing.... and maybe Pelosi’s not so great herself, or any of the career neo-lib/ conservatives. This, and everything that has happened since Trump was elected, definitely has many questioning what ‘entitles’ people to power.

By the way, if the Dems were going to politicize it, those entitled politicians whose job it is to protect democracy, should’ve made damn sure that they didn’t just do a half assed job. But they did a half assed job. Like they did before Trump was elected. Because they are more concerned with their careers after the mid terms, and about their big money donors, than they are about people, so they didn’t make enough ‘political hay’, as they say, out of it. They should’ve used every tool and tactic they could to stall Kavanaugh and insisted that the follow up investigation was not just window dressing...they let it happen the way it did, too. They’re of touch. Nearly all of them, Dems and Republicans. Republicans are the even more spurious of the two evils. But there is a new wave of a different kind of democrats on its way.

You’re taking part right now, in doing exactly what she is talking about, ironically. We probably all have in some instance. The difference with the Kavanaugh hearings is that Ford is not a politician. And Trump smearing Ford (after saying a few days earlier that she seemed credible) as a wrap up smear at a rally, was beyond the pale. What a colossally clown sized a**hole he is.

One swipe deserves another and with a collection of those swipes ... we could be come in humans ... basis of an old satire!

The superficial cuts still will not find accrued justice ...
