It’s seemed like Senate hearings for every scum republican has been just formality and the pukes go ahead and confirm even after blatant stupidity (DeVos) or shameless lying (Pruitt) I fear the same dynamics will happen with Kavanaugh.

Now, I admit, I don’t watch any media...just get caught up here. I know it’s a battle, every sane person is weighing in the fight...but...I fear the feckless pukes in power.

We need that blue wave come November!!

Pass me a doughnut, please!
