If Obama, the Black President, had 5 children w/ 3 wives, cheated on all 3 wives, one with a porn star after his wife just gave birth, white Evangelicals would have passed out from the scandal of it all
Trump does it & they help him nominate an alleged sex predator to the SC
There is a certain irony that Brett Kavanaugh will hereby be known as Justice Kavanaugh. Perhaps a convention will develop whereby the "Justice" part is forever bracketed by quotation marks.
If your senators voted to give Kavanaugh a Supreme Court job, they should lose their Senate jobs.

VOTE. THEM. OUT.
When Franken was accused—he resigned
When Schneiderman was accused—he resigned
When Conyers was accused—he resigned
When Trump was accused—he was elected
When Moore was accused—he was endorsed
When Kavanaugh was accused—he was confirmed
Never say the parties are the same
We can't stop fighting. Progress doesn't happen overnight. It can be painful. It can be slow. But now is the time to roll up our sleeves, knock on doors, and register people to vote. In one month we have the chance to vote and stand up for the country we love.
I need to make something absolutely clear: this “tribalism” language that keeps getting pandered is absolute nonsense.
This is not a fight between tribes. This is a fight between a fraction of duplicitous, treasonous, hateful, bigoted white men and the rest of the country.
The WH didn't permit the FBI to investigate the dishonest testimony of Kavanaugh. They didn't interview:
—Former FBI agent who administered the polygraph
—Dr. Ford’s husband & friends she told
—Kavanaugh’s Yale roommate
—Dr. Ford
—Kavanaugh
This wasn't a search for the truth.
Dean Heller (R-NV) just voted to confirm Kavanaugh. He recently called the sexual assault allegations against the judge "a little hiccup." He's up for re-election next month.
Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed to the Supreme Court. In less than 2 years—America’s gone from being a leader on social justice, women’s rights and LGBTQ equality to being a fascist nation who abuses children and threatens the rights of people of color, women and LGBTQ people.
This day is the saddest & angriest of my time in the Senate. The Republicans have succeeded in confirming a dangerous & deeply flawed nominee only by breaking all the rules & norms. The damage done today will be enduring—to the United States Supreme Court & to our country.
With the confirmation of Kavanaugh and the process which led to it, (and the treatment of Merrick Garland), the legitimacy of the Supreme Court can justifiably be questioned. The Court must now prove - through its work - that it is worthy of the nation’s trust.
We're deeply disappointed in the outcome of today's Senate vote. Even though we didn't get the result we wanted – the result we needed – it's not the end of our fight.
We thank Dr. Blasey Ford and every survivor who heard the sound of their own voice this week.
Is it still All About Eve? Trump blames Dr. Ford. Grassley blames Dianne Feinstein & says Republican women can’t handle the Judiciary committee workload. Really? It’s 2018. A new day is dawning. Women marched, women are running, women will win.
I just hit 130k followers. Thank you to everyone who follows me. Just letting you know that after the travesty that will happen on the Senate floor today I will be focused like a laser beam on the midterms. Senate. House. Governors. State legislators. Take back power everywhere
Here’s a brief checklist for when Democrats have unified power again:
✅ Add two justices to the Supreme Court
✅ Medicare for all
✅ Impeach Kavanaugh.
✅ LIMIT the power of the Presidency
✅ Add 2 states (DC & Puerto Rico)
✅ Automatic voter registration in all 52 states.
Don’t for one second doubt your anger in this moment.
Your anger is worthy and real and rational.
Be angry. Stay angry. Vote angry.
Let them know your anger in November.
