Don't you think you're being unfair to Nosferatu?

Well, I wouldn't want to wish harm on anybody about anything...but she had it coming. So, in the end, what did it profit Joe Manchin to vote "yes" for Kavanaugh? Seriously, I need to know this. Because, from where I'm sitting, it looks as if he's gained nothing.

After checking with my state's election board's online voter tool, I can say with 100% certainty that I am a registered voter. (But if you people even THINK about asking me to post pictures or something, I will vote Republican to spite y'all, I swear I will!)

What's wrong with Yahoo!? Manchin was a coward. Plain and simple. He voted for Kavanaugh, not because he believed him to be innocent -- sorry, but I don't believe his justification for his "yes" vote -- but because he needed the votes for re-election. Who knows? He might have saved his job by voting the way that he did, too. But, it's kind of like what Blanche told Gil Kessler in "The Golden Girls," when he lied and said they had spent the night together, just to boost his campaign. Yes, you won, Joe, but what kind of man are you, if you didn't win honestly? Even if it means losing a Senate seat and yielding further advantage to the GOP, I'd rather see a man lose while fighting the good fight -- in this case, potentially alienating his own voting base by saying, no, this man should not serve on our highest court -- than win by compromising his integrity.

IA. Making Asia and Rose the faces of #MeToo was problematic for me. Not that Alyssa is squeaky clean. For the most part, though, her "legacy" as TV's Samantha Micelli makes for an image that goes down more smoothly for the general public.

True. OTOH, every movement needs a "face," someone who is in the public eye on a regular basis, or else the movement stalls. I'm not saying I agree with that line of thinking. I'm just offering why you end up with people like McGowan and Argento as the de facto leaders.

Like I said, she's no fool. Yep. The new album's about to drop, and it's gonna be wall-to-wall, old-school R&B slow jams. (Taylor's doing a Barry White cover, y'all. Get ready.)

Exactly. What happened to Katy Perry?

Hey, if Ye is fine with living back on the plantation, that's his affair. But I don't keep well in the sun, and my fingers are not made for picking cotton.

Oh, no. Taylor's not a Democrat. Not by a long shot, lol. And like I said before, I won't believe it until I see it. (To hell with the "you can't show your ballot online" laws. If we could force Obama to show his birth certificates (which he shouldn't have had to!) then we can force Tay-Tay to show her completed ballot on Election Day. And there better be video of her actually dropping that ballot into whatever receptacle those things go into, too!)

LOL!! God, this is so rich! Really helps take the sting out of my tears! Oh, Taylor, you cash-sucking witch! You almost make me want to buy one of your albums just for bringing some laughter into my otherwise depressing Sunday evening!

As Clair Huxtable would say: You know [!@#$%^&*] just got real when Taylor Swift finds time in between boyfriends (and writing songs about said boyfriends) to go on Twitter and tell everyone who she's voting for. But she's no fool: she had no issue with remaining apolitical while simultaneously courting the MAGA crowd. However, the people who opposed his confirmation the most also make up significant portions of her album, song and concert ticket sales. She stood to lose big bucks if she did anything less than show her support, no matter how obvious she appears to outsiders. What Taylor has done is an act of self-preservation. Plain and simple.

I never thought I would say this, but, "You GO, Dr. Craig." I'm glad Ms. Bartlett brought up the fact that he chose his own career over his daughters' "sexual life and development." Unfortunately, he's a practicing Catholic; and Catholics' attitude toward unwanted pregnancy has always been, "Don't have sex in the first place." Which is not only impractical, but absurd. (Honestly, I've begun questioning whether I made the right choice to join the Catholic Church back in '08.)

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

No, they're not, Carl. They're not lying to themselves. They know exactly what they're doing, exactly what they're saying, and they don't care, because they know there's not a damn thing anyone will ever do about it. No, they're not delusional. They're just plain evil. They're calling him out, yes. But he Doesn't. Care. That's what I keep trying to say: THEY. DON'T. CARE. I just wish they let the masks fall, STOP the pretense of caring even a little bit, and get on with the business of turning us back into masters and slaves. It's what they want. It's what they've always wanted. And sooner or later, it's what they're going to get.

These days, I feel kind of like how Murphy Brown felt last week: "Why lie?" They hold the keys to the kingdom, so to speak, and (barring any last-minute divine interventions on Election Day, which I doubt will come) they probably will until our CHILDREN are old and gray. They're never going to persuade the left on any of their arguments; and really, it doesn't matter how the other side thinks or feels, because thanks not just to Kavanaugh's confirmation but also to racial gerrymandering and stripping away parts of the Voting Rights Acts, they've seen to it that will be as cold as Christmas in Hell before we ever have any say in government again. And even when they KNOW that their leaders are lying to them, their followers remain affixed to their sides (or other parts of their anatomies). So, why deceive the public at all? Why evade or exaggerate? Why ignore and/or rewrite history, in this case, to fit their screwy arguments? WHY. LIE. Why not just come right out and say, "Yes, I blocked Merrick Garland's nomination, because I didn't want Obama to have that SCOTUS pick, and I'll be damned before I let a liberal judge tilt the Supreme Court to the left!"? Better yet, why not just say what you REALLY want to say, Mitch? You blocked it, because you could; and if we don't like it, tough [!@#$%^&*]! (SNL's Kate McKinnon-as-Lindsey Graham said it best: "I'm never getting pregnant, so who cares?".) What, do they need permission to be that petty? Well, look who's the CEO! Not a MINUTE goes by when he isn't being petty! And, yes, he gets away with it, too! So, if they think being openly petty would turn off or turn away voters, look no further than the King of Petty, Mr. Make America Great Again, Donald J. [!@#$%^&*] Trump! It's bad enough that the GOP is doing everything in its' power and then some to roll us all the way back to 1952. I could handle the obviousness in their agenda. But the lying. The peeing on all our legs as they tell us it's raining. The fact that even my own mother, someone I used to look up to as one (and a Black woman, at that) who could smell the bullshit from a thousand miles away, now BELIEVING that what these people are doing is somehow in accordance with God's will; and the fact I, myself, have begun to wonder if this is what God really wants, and questioning how I ever could love and serve a God who could be this cruel to His own children.... I can't take it anymore. I just can't.

I KNOW it's futile where I live -- no one does "voting against their better interests" better than Oklahomans -- but as I keep saying, if *I'm* mad enough to vote this time around, then nobody has any excuses. #NoXcuses

Oh, well. She made her bed. She could writhe in it. It's really the look of every white man who's ever beaten the rap. He got away with murder, and he knows it. I don't want to say anything that's going to get me flagged or banned, but...what comes around goes around, Brett. In the meantime, I'm moving onto midterms. Let him have his damn SCOTUS seat. I truly could not care less.

What can I say that I haven't said already? This sux. https://apnews.com/8234f0b8a6194d8b89ff79f9b0c94f35/Kavanaugh-confirmed,-quickly-sworn-in;-major-Trump-victory?utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&__twitter_impression=true (And don't you just LOVE the expression on his face? He's relieved he got away with it AND he's saying, "Suck it, c**ts!")

"It's not a calling, Roy, it's gas."

Excuse me, "a lot of work"? Does that man have any idea how much work your average woman DOES every day? Not just in business, but (for many) as wife and mother? Of course he doesn't. He doesn't have any idea, because he has a penis; and those with penises think only with their penises. Go home, Chuck. You're out of touch.

IA. I think that upsets me more than the fact that Kav will be confirmed. Across the globe, women are witnessing what's happening, and they're taking it as a sign that, if you are a victim of sexual violence, don't bother coming forward, because no one will believe you. Absolutely, ICAM.

They also liked how Trump sold himself as this mega-successful businessman (and "reality star") whose very name was emblazoned on everything from skyscrapers to ice cream. Deep down, we Americans are suckers for the J.R. Ewing types.

But, people love Trump, because they think he is so "plain-spoken." Meaning, of course, they thought Obama sounded "uppity" and thought of himself as being "above them." Right. Maybe Avenatti and others muddied the waters, so to speak, but the FBI investigation was just a tactic to quiet down the shouters. Kav was going to be "their guy," no matter what.
