Put it this way: If potential Dem voters don't vote, we deserve every awful thing we are getting and will get. We don't need a blue wave next month. We need a blue TSUNAMI.

Collins and Flake can phuck right off. I tried Collins' opponent fund site and got the 503, too. That's GREAT! At least Murkowski had a spine. November is coming, beeyotches. Enjoy winning the battle while you lose the war.

Extra ironic (but likely accurate) take since Grassley and Hatch are involved. The old decrepit hateful fossils that they are. Grassley looks like he often needs a colonic.

This one is simple: Because Kavanaugh has stated sitting presidents should not be troubled by investigations against them while in office. There is also the related matter of an upcoming case on the docket about overturning an old law of being able to file state charges if federal charges are pardoned, as an example. Does that cover it?

I admire these protestors. But in the end, the GOP will ignore the will of the people again to cover their corruption and Trump's huge ass.

Not that it will change a damned thing, but the American Bar Association wants the vote to be held off and for the FBI to investigate.

This reminds me of the ACA repeal mess. Too bad there will be no one to give Turtle a big thumbs down at 2:00 a.m. this time. That's my pessimism speaking, anyway.

Collins has her lips on Trump's/the GOP's backside. At least a fund is ready for an opponent. If anyone should be watched, it's Murkowski, who is getting a lot of heat. Maybe Flake won't live up to his last name for once and do the right thing since he's out, anyway.

I can't agree we will be in the same place in 2018 and 2020. There are the willfully-blind cult members. True. But let us remember Trump was elected by more than his base because folks figured he was a businessman (who turned out to be Mr. Six Bankruptcies) and would "shake up" Washington. They believed his BS about draining the swamp as said outsider. Instead, take a look around: Accused rapist as Supreme Court nominee - with the GOP's knowledge, insider after insider pleading guilty in court or making pleas for numerous illegal acts, and Trump is in the crosshairs. I believe the base cannot be converted. The rest? I think differently. With the Kavanaugh mess, you can bet your behind the GOP is not only angry about their puppet being in jeopardy, Kav and/or Trump, take your pick. But, outside the cult of GOP and religion, many, MANY woman are likely to vote - and the GOP knows it will not bode well for them. Yes, people actually HAVE TO vote. But primaries and special elections have shown Dem enthusiasm that has not been seen in years. And I think the current mess with Kavanaugh, police shooting unarmed black men in their own homes, and all other forms of "WTF?" involving our current "leadership" are energizing the left, which is why many ARE finally waking the hell up. It's long overdue. And, as an aside, look at Texas and the almost frenzy for Beto O'Rourke. Will he win? I have no idea. But it isn't for lack of energy or trying. If Texas is even CLOSE to going blue, you know people are just sick and tired of the whole mess and want to put a check on it or stop it altogether. The left has more than "attack Trump" to work with here, and it's all thanks to the scum suckers of the GOP.

These pandering scumbags would love to shove the rapist through even now, I have no doubt. But unlike with Clarence Thomas, midterms are coming, and all indications are that the GOP is in for a nasty ride. Shoving the rapist through would be basically having the GOP wave the white flag and giving the keys to Dems now. There are women who are in Stepford mode in the GOP - and who support Trump. But think of the Women's Marches, and I'm convinced there are more who are ready to annihilate these enablers than not.

And the Kavanaugh mess reaches a new level: Ed Whelan, the scumbag now being humiliated and roasted for his botched "other guy attacked Dr. Ford" theory apparently accessed Dr. Ford's LinkedIn site before her name had gone public. And Whelan and Kavanaugh are tight. Still want to tell me Kavanaugh is innocent?

Grassley imposes 10:00 p.m. deadline to hear from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to contact the Senate about her Spanish Inquisition - or they vote. I assume on Monday. At this point? I say go ahead. Then let the women DESTROY the GOP in November.

Take your own advice, I say. And at least Kavanaugh got a hearing, even with the so-called Dem "theatrics" (of exposing GOP BS of "confidential" documents that weren't, but I digress!). Does Merrick Garland ring a bell? How about the GOP "theatrics" there? As for no proof about Kavanaugh being a wanna-be rapist, let's see what the hearing unfolds.

I'll throw my hat in the ring. If any of these are repeats, just let me know. I'll dub this the "Santa Barbara" alumni edition since many appeared on there: Jed Allan Nicolas Coster Harley Kozak Lane Davies Marcy Walker Nancy Lee Grahn Jane Rogers Louise Sorel (I think she may have been listed already, but if not...) Leigh J. McCloskey Joe Marinelli Judith McConnell Justin Deas (Think he may have been profiled? Not sure.) Those are some suggestions. Use them or not. :-)
