The first day of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings featured opening statements from members, road maps of where the senators intend to go during the next couple days of questioning.
I guess republicans think that if you can’t be racist anymore, go straight to fake child porn charges?
Ewwww. Republicans and children. Ewwww!
Well here are the Rs that don’t think women being sexually assaulted is a “thing”. Grassley, Chuck (IA), Ranking Member
Graham, Lindsey (SC)
Cornyn, John (TX)
Lee, Mike (UT)
Cruz, Ted (TX)
Sasse, Ben (NE)
Hawley, Josh (MO)
Cotton, Tom (AR)
Kennedy, John (LA)
Tillis, Thom (NC)
Blackburn, Marsha (TN)
Here is the R-Hawley, who cares about children, but apparently only male children’s safety.
And Marsha, Marsha, Marsha is just going to loose her shit, isn’t she?
It’s so funny when the party of actual child sex offenders accuses others of what they do. It’s always projection with these scum.
Route 1. The high road.
Route 2. The whiny road.
Route 3. The Hawley/Blackburn road.
Senate hearings are a waste of time and money. And that goes for the Senate itself.
Let’s hope Hawley can be put in his place during questioning. Good if she can refer subtlely
to the commonality of their backgrounds… Ivy League and such. Help make sure that Hawley is revealed as the elitist he really is.
Putin saw the GOP as America’s Achilles Heel. Today we see just how well he nailed it.
She’s the Bellatrix LeStrange of the Senate, from the hair on down. Where is Mrs. Weasley when we need her?
Yes, Trump and the GOP are Russian assets (not agents, per se), and serve as useful idiots to advance Putin’s goals. They have greatly damaged America and the democratic world, which qualifies the GOP as what used to be called ‘fellow travelers.’
So, more lies and fabrications? About what I expected from these scumbags.
Blackburn demonstrates what what happens when you have no critical thinking skills. If I were from Tennessee, I’d be incredibly embarrassed now.
Democrats have got to stop this “look forward, not back!” nonsense. So all the Republican nonsense claims went unchallenged? Unremarked? Disproven? That’s no way for Democrats to gain popular support. Hint: There’s an election coming up in November.
The childish projection crap from the party rotten to its core proves their unwillingness to accept our system of government. They’ve shown their true colors. Believe them. They need to be voted out entirely.
Oh dear.
GOP politics is entirely performative and undeniably effective. The Democrats’ imperative, then, ought to be the theatrical equivalent: blunt, vivid, emotionally appropriate and direct answers to lies, innuendoes, whines and other bullshit. Act out the truth, Democratic Senators, in 21st century political language.
When the RNC trumpets that something “Is a Fact”, I’m betting on the other horse.
“Theater” using the truth isn’t theater. The calm confidence that accompanies an expression of truth, puts Dems at a disadvantage against the high dudgeon and emotive lies spread by the R’s that are specifically tailored to rile the angry.
It’s a tough one.
Effective for those for whom it is to be effected. In my opinion, the biggest problem that Democrats face is overcoming the diffidence and self-satisfaction of centrist Democrats and Dem-leaning independents. I’m not certain that truth-bellowing alone will rouse these folks from their political indolence.
Democrats also have the problem of being the umbrella party that covers everyone who is not a hardcore nazi, which means that perfectly normal and reasonable people are stuck in the same party as BernieBro socialists who really do want total anarchy and the collapse of the system.
Not so easy to pick messaging that works for that range.
