Speaking as an angry white man, all these angry white men are starting to piss me off.
That eternal sense of entitlement was on full peacock display in yesterday’s Cirque du SoWhat? over whether the mendacious and elusive Bart O’Kavanaugh can stand erect long enough to make it to the Supreme Court.
The well of privilege seems bottomless from the top, and these angry white men will continue to draw from it until the bucket finally comes up filled with their obituaries.
Then, I suppose, their angry white sons will inherit the family business.
That business is bankrupt, but failure is for lesser men, and women. The angry white man picks himself up using our bootstraps and plows forward, like the dolt who, when told that he’s penniless, broke, flat busted, says, “That can’t be true. I still have checks in my checkbook.”
Actually, it’s our checkbook. And one of these days the angry white man’s mouth is going to use it to write a check his ass can’t cash.
But I don’t think we’re there yet.
The angry white man still has that big orange credit card we gave him back in 2016. And he’s gonna use that to buy shit the country doesn’t need and can’t afford until we take it away from him.
Remember your Martin Luther King: “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

Ugh. Yesterday reminded me of a relative who refuses to admit that in that relative’s misspent youth, there was plenty of booze, drugs, and Weekends That Somehow Got Forgotten present.

Yeah, I have a few of those swinging around in the family tree myself.
I’d like to see Bart O’Kavanaugh’s modern-day liquor bill. I’d say by the Irish roadmaps on his cheeks that he enjoys more than the occasional “lite” beer.

There were a few parties that I would want to forget if I could remember them in order to forget them.
Barrett or Hardiman are anyone’s choice as conservatives. Seems to me that whether or not he deserved it, old Bart is like that concept in Holy Grail–way too much shit on him to be king. Or in this case, SCOTUS justice.
Latest is that Flake is wavering.

“This is all a gentlemen’s and women’s agreement,” says Grassley. Yeah, right. Grassley ain’t no gent, and The Turtle ain’t neither. Better check the signature on any documentation. Keep an eye peeled for “Haywood Jablowme.”

Irish roadmaps? I resemble that remark!
It’s hard to be disappointed when you expect nothing. We got less than nothing yesterday. The only reason they are rushing is because they know he is guilty. And impeachment is much harder than a criminal indictment, if one is even possible with the statute of limitations on rape and sexual assault in Maryland and DC.

The sonsabitches are looting the joint with an eye toward the midterms, when they might get new management. It feels like we’re on a roller coaster that only goes down.

Maryland has no statue of limitations on serious felony sexual crimes. DC currently has a 11 to 20 statute of limitations on serious felony sexual crimes. So depending on where it happened, and what charges are possible, would determine if a prosecutor would attempt it.

Someone posted a letter from the MD police. Apparently in 1982 what he did was considered a misdemeanor, with a 1 yr statute of limitations. That law would apply, i.e., an ex post facto law would not apply.

So, it looks like there is no criminal liability for Bart, so he has nothing to lose but the supremes seat. And that he can always blame on politics. I still think he will get confirmed and all this shit will be forgotten in a year. But, it will be fresh in everyone’s mind in November. Maybe that is all we will get. I hope it is enough.

What Pat O’B said. Republicans have the numbers. Flake may have caved. Cotton waves like a flag in the wind. Two Republican women may have caved, and even a couple of of Dems are not trusted to do the right thing. I think that that Kavanaugh is on the court soon.

The onliest way I see him being denied a seat among the Supremes is if he cops to voting Democratic. Not even drunken teenage hooliganism could explain that away.
September 28, 2018 at 1:18 pm |
If drunken teenage holliganism is the test of our character for the rest of our lives, most of us are fucked.
September 28, 2018 at 1:31 pm |
Look on the bright side. We may have a SCOTUS judge who knows what “boof” and “devil’s triangle” mean.

Timely and good quote from MLK.

They’ll promise Susan Collins balloons or something for her vote and give Lisa Murkowski a bridge to nowhere to brag about while all the shriveled white d–ks in the Rethug party vote po’ wittle Bwett into the job he’s been entitled to since..well…since birth I guess?
Then let’s hope enough are as “Mad as hell and are not gonna take it anymore!” about this chicanery in November. I’m sticking around to vote in person, then getting on a plane outta here the next day!

I feel for you guys.
Go Jazza!

Thanks Hurben – sometimes we need to see things from a different perspective…
September 29, 2018 at 5:33 am |
Thanks Hurben. I am officially jealous. Especially since you are moving into spring time!
September 29, 2018 at 7:04 am |
Well done indeed, Hurben. I’m sure NZ has its irksome issues, but it seems as though you folks have chosen thoughtful leadership to see you through.
