CONFIRMED

[NanceGreggs]

Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearing is meant to assess her qualifications to be appointed a Supreme Court justice.

What is has instead confirmed is that Republicans are completely unqualified when it comes to acting civilly, morally, and ethically - and that by virtue of their behaviour, they should be disqualified from holding any office whatsoever.

Of course it comes as no surprise that the party that confirmed a man whose entire confirmation hearing was rife with temper-tantrums, anger-laden outbursts, and bizarre comments about "liking beer" - and yet was considered to be just the kind of even-tempered, sober-minded jurist who should sit on the highest court in the land.

Confirmed: Republicans are corrupt, morally bankrupt racists whose only chance of survival is ensuring that their corrupt, morally bankrupt, racist adherents can watch them belittle an "uppity black woman" when the opportunity presents itself.

[Skittles]

1. they don't work for America

all they do now is perform for the fascist cult

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Racist Senator Braun is against interracial marriages. . . . nt

[YoshidaYui]

5. The Republican Party

Wants a Facist Dictator in either their God DonaldTrump or will settle for Ron DeSantis or Greg Abbot- a system exactly like the Russian Government. They are now the “Commies’ they feared in the 1950s.

12. Yes Yes Yes, this is what they want.

Every Republican belongs to the Putin Party, its leader, confirmed by CPAC, is Putin puppet, Donald Trump.

Putin=Trump=GQP.

They want autocracy over democracy, it's the only way they can maintain minority rule.

[DENVERPOPS]

26. All Dems should just start

calling them "Pinkos".............see how they handle that when constantly called the name they previously used to label anyone they disagreed with................

[YoshidaYui]

27. Putin supporters

fits too,

[akbacchus_BC]

3. Republicans (not the moral ones) are thugs, they do not give a rat's ass for the

American people. Never thought rethugs would side with an oligarch to invade a country without any provocation. Makes me sick, hope Reagan is rolling over in his grave!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

28. Hope so too

He had a hand in this!

[quakerboy]

4. Its probably for the best some of us arent Senators

When that smarmy little get was playing up his thing about access to documents and kept asking "is there anything else that Democrats have access to that Republicans dont" .. Common decency, honesty, intelligence, integrity, etc would have been my immediate and instinctual response. And however true that is, it probably wouldn't go over well. Definitely wouldn't help get KBJ over the finish line and onto the court.

6. Oh, NancyGreggs, you pen so perfectly.

I suffer the selfsame seething about this whole "confirmation" charade.

[madaboutharry]

8. Yesterday's sad display actually proved that the theories

in CRT are true. The behavior of these republican Senators towards Judge Jackson proved how Black people are to this day viewed through a lens of suspicion and racism. It was actually heartbreaking to watch the pathetic performance by Ted Cruz as he held up these children’s books and could not say the author’s name without a tone of scorn. And they ended the day with the ridiculous mush mouth Marsha Blackburn, a blatantly ignorant racist and bigot. Blackburn started her time with insincere phony compliments before launching into her ugly questioning of a woman superior to her in every way possible, including human decency.

The entire day was a sickening reminder of how many terrible people there are in this world.

[YoshidaYui]

15. The Republican Party is disgusting

Losers all, just like 45!

[KS Toronado]

21. Want to study CRT? Watch Judge Jackson's confirmation hearings.

9. Debased Reprobates gonna Debase & Reprobate

[2naSalit]

10. K&R

Eloquent as ever!

[Mr. Ected]

11. Not to offend, but these Republicans bear the hallmarks of some sort of mental illness

Excessive paranoia, worry, or anxiety. CHECK
Long-lasting sadness or irritability. CHECK
Extreme changes in moods. CHECK
Social withdrawal. CHECK
Dramatic changes in eating or sleeping pattern. TBD....but a steady diet of shit and crow can't be healthy.

[paulkienitz]

19. It isn't mental illness, it's a chosen strategy.

[Escurumbele]

13. As always, you hit the nail in the head.

Thank you

[multigraincracker]

14. Can we collect their tears and

put them with the ones we wii get this November when we win back the Senate and sweep the House? I really think this will happen, as all of the tRump signs in my area have been taken down in the last two weeks

[FalloutShelter]

16. Perfectly stated Nancy!

[czarjak]

17. "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'". Straight from a dead-ender. They mean it.

[paulkienitz]

18. Q: How much of this baiting of Judge Jackson is performative theater, vs actual hate?

A: It doesn't matter which it is.

[ificandream]

25. I think it's mostly theater.

They know, outside of a miracle, that she'll be confirmed. So this is just to show their "muscle" and also make noise for Fux and other right-wing outlets. What they don't seem to realize is that opposition doesn't have to mean being stupid. But, of course, their Big Kahuna is an Orange Idiot.

[Joinfortmill]

20. Yup. I'm done with the lot of them.

Anyone still in this abomination of a party is on the wrong side of everything good in this world.

[BobTheSubgenius]

22. Spot on, tragically. Also infuriatingly.

[niyad]

23. Spot on, as always.

[calimary]

24. Yep!

Right there on the televised hearings. The bullshit party. They bring nothing to the table but bad manners, germs, and insect infestations.
