Oct 2018

The Republicans are motivated now that they have their accused rapist on the Supreme Court. They are motivated..All of my high school “friends” on FB (who live in the south) are all posting shit about Kavanaugh. Congratulations and all that bull...Tempted to delete all of them because how can any decent human being want that deranged drunk on the Supreme Court. Even if you believe he did not try to rape her then at least you have to see that he does not have the temperament to be a S.C. justice. I mean really...are they that desperate for a win??? If they back Kavanaugh like that then imagine what they will do to protect Trump from Mueller..

Oh and I was at the beauty shop today. Every person there does not support Trump. No one mentioned a thing about the Supreme Court, upcoming midterms...not one word. I do not believe that Dems will turn out in the numbers that we need...Many Democrats just don’t understand (or care) about the importance of midterm elections.
