This hearing clearly demonstrates that nothing matters to the GOP

other than seating this rapey frat boy on the SCOTUS. That should give everyone serious pause regarding who is running this country.

1. they should have withdrawn him out of shame weeks ago, but they have none.

3. Shame, how cute...

Not aimed at you spanone.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Power, it's all about power...

and part of that is putting RW hacks like Kavan-R on the court.

Since Trump we've seen them add in an unhealthy dose of in-your-facism, too.

5. Yes, and a predetermined knowledge of how Kavanaugh

will rule on every important case that will come before the SCOTUS. He's someone they want to plug into the court to get the rulings they want. Nothing else matters to them.

As for the GOP Senators, they're all of the same type as Kavanaugh and his frat-boy buddies. They ARE Kavanaugh, and would laugh while watching a buddy sexually assault someone.

Fuck 'em!

4. It gives us pause, we know, it does not give GOP voters pause

Because rapey frat boys is what they're about. They voted for Trump after all. Knowing he's a rapey groper, serial philanderer. Boffed a few porn stars, and paid over $100k for that few minutes of pleasure each, while his 3rd trophy wife was pregnant.

If they love that guy, they'll love Kavanaugh.

Nothing's going to change here. All the old white men on the Judiciary Committee will vote for Kavanaugh. They would vote for Kavanaugh even if Ford produced a police report of the incident. They literally don't care, no amount of character flaws and questionable habits derails them if they think they'll fix the political game in their favor.

This is also Trump's supporters. Nothing matters so long as they think they're getting the political answer they want. Never mind that the GOP can't deliver on most of its promises, they don't care so long as they think they're getting something in the end. They are rubes on the hook of the con.

6. There is a certain percentage of people who do not care about

anything but their goals. They are morally and ethically bankrupt and would defraud their own mother if it benefited them.

That is Trump's base in a nutshell. It is up to the rest of us to keep them in the minority and thwart their ugly ambitions.

[calimary]

7. I wonder how many rapey frat boys are sitting on that dais - hiding behind that Arizona skirt?

Some of those old geezers. Like Grassley. Like Hatch. And the rest of those bastards on the GOP side.
