Repubicans Bias Is Showing @ Brett Kavanaugh Hearings #Brett Kavanaugh

Let me get this right.

If I was Brett Kavanaugh( and for the sake of my argument, let us consider him thus) innocent, this is how I would have responded to questioning:
"Senator, this has been the most terrible 10 days of my life, my family's life, and, I'm sure, her life, but I am innocent. 
"Since the very beginnings of my judicial career I have worked hard to achieve my dream of becoming an United States Supreme Court Justice. 
"So, what is four more day, four more weeks, heck, four more months to achieve this dream.
"I demand a FBI investigation. Demand it! As a judge. As a man that aspires to the highest court of the land, justice must be served."

Of course,this is not what we got. We got partisan propaganda gobbledygook: from a judge!

But the worse is yet to come. Now, that there is going to be a FBI investigation, we get (not so) veiled threats from the Republican senators telling 'their' witnesses that if they change their stories that they ( the Republican senators)  will persecute them for purgery! Jail time!

This from an obstructionist party that refused to even discuss nominating a Supreme Court Justice. 

Yeah, this really makes me believe that Brett Kavanaugh is qualified to be an honest, impartially blind to the Constitution, Supreme Court Judge. 

Ohio State University : Urban Meyer vs. Jim Jordan

As an Ohio State fan, I have to admit that they have an abysmal record : abysmal - when it comes to integrity.

It seems every other year some kind of scandal covers one OSU program or another.

Yes, some are B.S. and some are overblown. And, yes, with competition within the high-powered schools, and the hype that goes along with such, I acknowledge that rules are being bent until some are broken on almost every college campus.

But, this in itself is not in anyway an excuse for any college getting away with misdeeds, up to including - especially including - The Ohio State University.

Okay, so just when is a coach responsible for the protection of other people from the actions of staff and players under his regime?

Whether you believe that Urban Meyer's punishment is either too lenient or too severe, everyone believes that an assistant coach's day to day job is more 'hands on' to the players he is responsible for than any head coach's.

That is why what Urban knew and did not know about his assistant coach Zech Smith is so important. Loyalty is one thing, but allowing kids - KIDS! - to put their trust and faith in someone whom is unworthy of such trust is appalling.

This is where congressman Jim Jordan comes into play.

As an assistant wrestling coach, Mr. Jordan probably had to had heard the scuttlebutt about how hands on the team doctor, Dr.Richard Strauss could be. Maybe, being part of the team, he had first hand knowledge. 

If, if, if, if, if.

If Urban Meyer knew. If Jim Jordan knew.

Whether you agree with it or not, Urban Meyer has been thoroughly investigated and punished.

Jim Jordan has not.

Snowflakes vs. ...

The right wing may be calling us snowflakes,  but if the right doesn't respond quickly to massive 'proven' corruption that is Trump and his swamp people, then it can be taken as fact that they don't care one iota about America, nor its government.

They won't, of course.

The right will continue to use propaganda and misrepresent because it is in their best interest, not America's.

That makes them- to use Trump's own language - a bunch of pussies. It's time to grab them and throw them out!

Points To Ponder

This is what I was thinking:

Donald Trump's decision to reimpose sanctions on Iraq has nothing to do with its nuclear program. I believe it has everything to do with Iraq's oil production lowering the price of Saudi Arabia oil. Funny how our gas prices keep going up, now.

If you want proof (or at least strong circumstantial evidence) that the Russians interfered in our last presidential election look no further then this little tidbit. It's no secret that Trump won just enough Electoral College votes to take the election. Now, think about this. How could the professional pole takers hit it so far off the mark on their predictions? With computer algorithms and such, do you really, really think that it was even vaguely possible for the whole pole taking community to all be that totally wrong?!?

Speaking of Russia, why aren't Donald Trump Jr. and his cohorts in jail? It has already been proven that they have met with high level commies to get or create dirt on Hillary. To think that Junior met them at a Trump Tower, and the then presidential candidate didn't know of the meeting seems utterly ridiculous. I mean, come on. Hasn't anybody not watched The Apprentice? Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

I believe we Americans as a group have become immune to the tragedies of mass shootings. Recently,  Eric Church told how he appeared in Vegas a week before the literal massacre there. He said that as an entertainer he felt like the bait that brought the victims in. 58 people [58! ] were murdered! Over 850 [!] were wounded! This happened only last October! Yet, until Eric Church, I can't remember the last time I thought or felt anything about this horror. I know that I am not alone on this.

And, lastly, think of this. What is morality? Is it relevant? Does being honest matter any more? Who are you going to be honest with? Google's watching. Facebook is watching. God is watching. Santa Claus is watching. Fox News is watching.

It's all us. It is all on us. If we let fear rule. If we let hatred win, we have no one but ourselves to blame. Root for the underdog. Screw the man. Live free or die.

President Trump is saying that if you don't stand up for the National Anthem that you shouldn't get paid.

Is he just Putin us on?

Trump Tomatoes

After today's mess, I overheard a person at work say to one of his fellow employees that it's time to start throwing tomatoes at president Trump... and he was a Republican.

The other person said that wasting food was sinful.

You can't make this stuff up.

What I've always wanted to say to John

Caution: Contains strong locker room language 

What good is it to gain the world, yet lose your soul?

I often think of this when I think about our president Trump. He seems to have everything, yet, nothing, at the same time. A Pontius Pilate on steriods: what is the truth?

Anything he makes it.

Oh, he's good at what he does. The master of the ruthless bluff. Lawyer the shit out of them. Make 'em an offer they can't refuse.

The ultimate modern American capitalist:   Amoral to a fault. Selfish to the nth degree. Greed is his compass. Like a general in a major war, people are his pawns. People are just numbers to be used and played.

Right and wrong are meaningless words to someone that creates truths out of  flim-flam salesmanship.

That is Trump's appeal. Lie with so much conviction; state with so much gall; look 'em straight in the eye with no gleam of guilt and tell them: the check is in the mail. I'll do it on Monday. Of course I will pull out, and people that need these assurances will gladly believe him.

A person at work actually  told me that President Trump is the only thing that makes sense. That is the true power of our president. He can sell a freezer to an eskimo... a monorail to the city of Springfield... a marching band to River City.

As George Baily said of Mr. Potter,"He's not selling: he's buying."

With each lie president Trump buys another soul into his cause.

I knew The Donald would win the presidency when he claimed he could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose any voters.

And he actually gained voters.

When Trump doesn't actually have to do what he says, he just has to say it for folks to buy into it, he's the one buying.

One soul at a time.

At this point of time the the alleged Russian pee tape, the alleged Russian collusion are totally meaningless. Bring them on.Admit to them. His base would not care one iota. They would cheer the fact.

The president of lies will not be happy until he is fully realized to be the king of lies and the people cheer.

And the whole world goes to Hell.

Maybe then, just maybe, Trump supporters will wake from their slumbers and complain and be defiant. But by then, it will be to late.

Because as an old girlfriend used to tell me, you can't complain about a man not pulling out when you are already letting him screw you.

#HeyAmmosexual

Hey, Ammosexual, I know, I know that you love your AR-15 { and other semi-automatic weapons}. But what are they to you really? You can't hunt with them. It's overkill to protect your family and home with them { unless you want to shoot up both your and your neighbor's homes}.

Here's what they are: your favorite toy. You take it out to the shooting range, or out to the farm or quarry, and have a blast.

So, you are willing to let your sons and daughters die for a fucking toy!?!

A fucking toy!

Shame on you.

#HeyMarcoRubio

Hey, Marco Rubio, we get it. You are firmly in the NRA's pocket. No matter what your constituents think, you can't afford to have their best interests at heart. You aren't going to do anything concerning gun control.
But, hey, you can still do something. How about using federal money for drones to patrol school grounds? What about gun safety classes in schools? Hell... forcefields... kung fu... anything!
Just don't let the discussion totally end with, 'Ya ain't taking' away my toys, yo.'
Man up, dude!
Do something:anything!

#HEYTrump/ #ExplainTheHat

Dear Mr. Trump, before you throw the FBI under the bus and blame them for the Florida shooter, remember whose hat that filthy animal was wearing.

Mr. Trump, please explain why this murderer would be wearing your hat, and how you feel about it.

#HEYTrump/ #ExplainTheHat

#HeyNRA

Those saying in multiple ways that guns don't kill - people do, are being very disingenuous. While they quote their accolades to their love of weapons,  they offer no alternative solutions to ending mass shootings. They are just watering down the discussion - virtually destroying any attempt at finding a way to eliminate this violence.

This method of obstruction stalls any meaningful solutions to ending these tragedies: basically, by doing so, hinting that the only solution is banning guns.

I offer a word of heavy caution to the NRA brothers and sisters. Before it is too late, start offering other solutions than banning guns. Put your money where your mouth is. Be part of stopping this horror.

If you don't, soon it will be way too late, and 2nd Amendment or no 2nd Amendment American's guns will be taken away.
