I don't think the democrats have their heads in the game [View all]

I keep thinking about that announcement that Claire McCaskill made earlier about not voting for Kavanaugh. To which I have to say - duh.

The president is a Russian asset and a criminal. The GOP senators she works with are all either compromised tools of Putin or at the very least are fine with letting Putin's agents run our government.

the DEFAULT position for Democratic senators should be "of course we are not going to vote for this fruit of a poisoned tree. convince me otherwise"

I mean, come on. They seem to think we are still living in congenial world, meanwhile they are going to get rolled. To think that a Democratic senator would have to announce - announce! - that she wasn't voting for an unindicted co-conspirator to this cabal of Russian puppets indicates to me that it took her some time to work that decision out. It should take about ten seconds to decide that Trump has no business re-making the court at this point. He's about to be indicted for numerous crimes. You can't let a criminal like that appoint his own judges.

I feel like we are trying to fight these fascists with a limp noodle.
