Our public officials don't have to be perfect, but they also cannot have serious allegations hanging over them, with evidence that says those allegations may be true.

If you wouldn't hire a guy with those sorts of allegations hanging over his head to be your accountant for your coffee shop, why in God's name are we stuck with that guy on the Supreme Court?

Oh, I know why. Because they can do it and they want to prove they can do it.

I hope this video is on Twitter and it goes viral.

Dear god. What in holy fucking hell does Putin have on each and every member of the rethuglican party? What the hell is wrong with these morally bankrupt, empty-eyed fuckers? We are all going to be under the thumb of these shitweasels by judicial fiat for the next 40 years because of tRump and the shitbag assclowns who put him in the WH and the shitbag assclowns that drop down on both knees with their mouths open and tongue out to service him.

He usually posts his videos as the Liberal Redneck. Well worth poking around on YouTube and seeing some of his other commentary. If you see his name on the marquee at a venue near you, buy a ticket!

The fact is, they never intended to get advice and consent on this nominee. They intended to install him, regardless of any objections, in order to fast track the Koch/Dominionist/Russian mob agenda.

This is a takeover of the US in a bloodless coup.

Democracy was raped yesterday. And they are still laughing.

I used to see that road sign on upstate NY highways and imagine your GIF. Totally looks like it could be from that area. Always unnerved me more than being next to a sheer drop...

Our mountains aren't really mountains, by NY standards.

But we do have lots of shale which tends to slide when it's top-heavy.

Miller's Show occasionally. He can be profane, and he's pretty much a genius, and he's really funny and manages to nail the truth down about Conservatives.

I strongly urge you guys to youtube his past "rants." He now does stand up comedy around the country. I heard he was getting a T.V. pilot but I don't know if that's still happening. He's from Tennessee (but now lives here in CA), was raised mainly by his grandparents and his uncle (because his mom had an opioid addiction), and has his M.B.A.

In an interview for the MSNBC program The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell in May 2016, Crowder attributed his liberal political views to the "abject poverty" of his family during his childhood in rural middle Tennessee.(wiki)

Another major influence on his progressive social beliefs, he claimed, was his close relationship with his gay uncle. Crowder explained that he had personally never "been particularly down with Jesus" because of the conservative social views on homosexuality held by most Christian denominations, especially in the area where he was raised.[1] (wiki)
