They don’t give a fuck. They’ve made that much clear already. A letter from Jesus Christ cosigned by Ronald Regan wouldn’t stop them. They want a rapist on the supreme court, so a rapist is what they’re gonna get.

fuck LINDSAY FUCKING GRAHAM IN THE ASS

Only one way that pressure will be created: more women in positions of power and authority. Look at how defiant and angry the Repugs got today. Men in position to do so ain't gonna budge.

Roles reversed, Obama and the dems facing a tough election season would just scuttle a troublesome nom before he even got to the hearing stage and pick someone else. Their ‘threat’ is all hat no cattle. 

No they aren’t. Fox News is the number 1 network for sexual assault. It’s a match made in hell!

Well that’s our system. Make progress sometimes, make none or regress other times. It would be nice to make sustained and significant progress efficiently, but that’s not real life. If you want results and not fantasy, you have to deal with the reality, especially the crappy parts of it.

Speaking of boneheaded moves, can caddy leave the dumb CT nomenclature behind in NY too? 

We could also ask him not to make potentially deadly mistakes on public roads so he can look cool for a second. That's also an option. 

I can just hear the idiots on Fox & Friends implying that she seems awfully happy to be bringing down “a good man”; she must be an operative.

Oh man that’s a badass paragraph. 1000/10. Just brilliant *chefs kiss*

We’ve reached peak terrible, right? Children in cages at the border, serial rapist SCOTUS nom...it can’t get any worse. The hole can’t fall into a hole. Right? RIGHT?!?

A bag of used litter out of your cat’s litter box would do better as President. It couldn’t actively damage the country or sign terrible executive orders, which would be an order of magnitude improvement over where we are now.

We’re not angry about women, we’re angry about historical inaccuracy.

He will be confirmed as the next Supreme Court Justice of the United States. Surely. The GOP cares nothing for victims of sexual assault, and they’re not gonna pass up their (likely only) chance to swing the court right for a half-century or more.

Maine deserves better than someone who would vote a rapist on to the supreme court. If she doesn't flip on Kavanope, cashier her ASAP. 

Oh fuck off with your pretentious bullshit. You wanna go, then go. We don’t need a formal letter of resignation. You aren’t the cabinet secretary of shitposting.

Technically, nothing stopping Mitch from just going up to Trump and saying, ‘Nope, pick someone else.’ New guy by Wednesday, hearings on Thursday, Voted on and seated by Friday. Nothing mechanically stops them from doing this.

Putin and Trump are not a couple. That implies some autonomy on Trump’s side which isn’t there. Nope. Not Trumputin. It’s Putin and OfVlad.
