With all the Republicans and former Trump officials and military people coming out against him, it is political suicide to continue to do the immoral, unjustified things that he is asking them to do. And this nomination is one of them.
As I wrote to Ben Sasse the other day, "If you want to avoid a bloodbath, stop doing the wrong things! Beside you know it's wrong, hypocritical, and against the will of the people. Just because you covet it doesn't mean it's right!"
Put the pressure on them folks. The Republicans are starting to crack.
Let's put the pressure on the news media too. This is not a done deal!!!

(17,220 posts)Dear Sen............deep down you know that DJT is the wrong man for POTUS as we slide
into FASCISM, you are aware DJT plans to use the SCOTUS to steal this election. By voting
for Amy Coney Barrett you're killing this NATION, the Republican party, and all your future
reelection hopes. Time to throw him under the BUS.

Oh, that would be sweet.
And I do think it's possible.

(1,406 posts)At least the election would reflect the true will of the people and the GOP Senators might vote accordingly. (I know I am dreaming but hey, I have been having nightmare since 2016)

(312 posts)I know, in this cynical age, we do not always believe this. Speak truth to power, we say, but we don't do it or do it strongly enough.
Now is the time to speak truth to power. And this is wrong. And it is a power grab. And anyone who assist in this will be tarnished and wounded just as clearly as it seems Trump will be tarnished and wounded.
if they wish to avoid this, they can just quietly back off!!! That, I believe, is not only the moral thing to do, I believe it is actually the wise thing to do and the thing that most assures longterm survival.
Now just to get them to believe that. I don't think it's as hard as we think it is when we are so propagandized by despair and cynicism.

I'm doing it.
I urge others to do the same.
It is simply unthinkable that a President can nominate and have accepted the judge he thinks will hand an election to him. Many other reasons this is an unethical, immoral, mean-spirited, unwise move on everyone's part and they could do best for U.S., their party, and themselves by backing off!!! Not so hard to do. Move away from that weapon now. I know you want to use it. But just move away. Simple to do.

(312 posts)What I've been following is all the fear from Republican Senators about Trump tanking, assuming he does bigtime. Then there is less incentive to follow his shitty lead in putting this nomination forward. We don't need that many of them to break, and I'd like to start or continue the momentum.
Open always to ideas. If you hear or find more about tape, would be interested for sure.
Thanks!
