What the hell kinda mother is she!?!?!?!

[TruckFump]

Amy Coney Barrett -- i saw her yesterday come into that crowded space, no social distancing, no masks, people squeezed in like virus carrying sardines. And with her!?!?!?!?! A bunch of her 7 children...many of whom sure looked like minors for whom she is responsible.

If she cannot do right by her own children, why the hell is she a valid candidate of any nature for SCOTUS????

Her political views are antediluvian, hateful and anti-RBG and she is unfit to sit on the high court for those reasons alone. However, her choice to parade her children in that environment -- that alone is a valid reason for a Senate vote against her and perhaps the best pictorial evidence of why she is unfit to serve.

What she did is demonstrative evidence of the highest caliber IMO of her lack of fitness for the Court: She has no common sense, endangers people she is duty bound to protect (legally and morally) and only gives a fuck apparently about what she wants and how she looks to the public and is willing to kiss tRump ass by endangering her children.

Parents out there and grandparents, aunts, uncles, and godparents: If she is unwilling to protect her own children...why the hell do you think she will protect those children near and dear to your hearts?

Fuck her and feed her peanuts...let her go to her cult and lead them. Oh, wait...she's female...guess that won't work for her.

Sorry, Amy, maybe you should learn to parent before you take on other responsibilities.

JMHO

[bluestarone]

1. I wondered the same. What the fuck is wrong with people?

[TruckFump]

2. This is someone who will be responsible for protecting children????

What the hell was that dangerous display about yesterday. Don't tell me??? Amy does not believe 200K+ people have died due to the Virus and it's just fine to not protect her children???'

This woman has less that -0- common sense.

[bluestarone]

4. yea she will say

God will protect my family

[olegramps]

49. How dare you question the Queen of the Sanctimonious and Self Anointed Charlatans.

[Cracklin Charlie]

3. She seems robotic.

Programmed to do as told, maybe. I got a weird, creepy vibe watching her.

[TruckFump]

8. Could be cult indoctrination.

Anyone ever at any time who would have demanded of me I had to obey every directive of some male member of my church or my family -- that person perhaps would not live through my response to that bullshit. At least mentally and emotionally, scorched earth would look good in comparison.

Let's face it -- I burned too many bras in 1960s to let someone like Amy Coney Barrett try to put me back in a Maidenform -- and using it not as support, but to gag me and take away my rights.

Fuck her...every Senate parent, grandparent, aunt and uncle fighting against her nomination should put up a picture of her exposing her children to that gathering when it's their turn to question her.

People are concerned about the virus and that is one of the biggest hits the Orange Asshole is taking...well, the D and I Senators and anyone else who questions her fitness should use Barrett's failure to protect her children against her.

SHE IS UNFIT NOT ONLY AS A JUSTICE, BUT AS A PARENT!!!!!

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. Righteous rant!

I agree with David Frum...anyone who would even accept the nomination under the current circumstances would not likely make for a good justice.

[TruckFump]

10. Thank you!

In 1976 when I bought my first home, I learned that just the year before a married woman in California could not outright own real property in her own name.

That pretty much sealed my desire to go to law school.

[eppur_se_muova]

18. Yes, Dem Senators should question her about this, pointedly. A very good point. nt

[TruckFump]

23. Thank you.

I have a gal pal I talked to yesterday, not political at all and a registered Repuke. She does like tRump and most of it is based on the 200K+ deaths from the virus. She is a mom and and a grandmom. she was greatly upset by the picture of Amy and the kiddos packed in, no masks, and was not pleased on bit about "that woman" being on the court.

IMO, that visual of her cramming those kiddos maskless and unprotected into that Repuke crowd...one pic..worth 10,000 words IMO.

[ananda]

16. Stepford for sure.

Really creepy....

[iluvtennis]

26. + 1 nt

[spinbaby]

17. Definite Stepford vibe from that one

There is a “look” I associate with fundies. It’s kind of an over-groomed forced cheerfulness.

[2naSalit]

20. I used to love in

a state dominated by a religious group who also exhibit similar traits. A friends described it as "Overly nice in a very creepy way."

She certainly gives me the creeps. like she's been zombified.

[BComplex]

51. Totally spaced out, and not living in the real world.

It's time some organization takes on the "evangelicals" in this country who are really so mentally ill. They aren't really "Christians", as is evidenced by their voting choices: republicans love to kill people through guns, no "entitlements", wars, and death sentences, and never give a dime to the needy.

It's time there were commercials helping to straighten out who these "evangelicals" really are.

[kiri]

32. Cultists are mentally agile--can believe 7 contradictory things at once

Cultists are not dumb. They are mentally agile and can keep their minds compartmentalized very efficiently, never one part confronting another.

Remember, she received high marks from sort-of secular institutions. Her legal arguments have been praised. This is what makes her so dangerous. It is foolish to underestimate our foes.

[ewagner]

34. The whole ceremony....

was meant to show her fidelity to Trump...

No masks

No social distancing

No care about possibility of family being exposed.


Just pure, naked, submission to Trump.

[Klaralven]

5. I'd be surprised if she didn't have paid help with the children

If not, then the oldest are probably saddled with taking care of the younger ones. The youngest has Down syndrome.

[Fla Dem]

30. She does. She mentioned their "babysitter". However I suspect she is more of a live-in nanny.

Or perhaps like the Duggar Family the female children are responsible for raising the younger children.

[oldsoftie]

35. Like pretty much everyone else in a pay scale like her family.

Politicians included. I dont care if she has paid help for her kids. Actually I hope she DOES.

[TruckFump]

47. Probably more responsible than she is. EOM.

[TicketyBoo]

41. She DOES have paid help with the kids.

Didn't you hear her say that ONE of their babysitters had accompanied them to Washington?

[Delmette2.0]

53. Of course she has to have adult help with the children.

It's conflicting ideals. Women must stay home and care for children vs go to work and earn lot of money and/or power to keep other women at home.

[Tanuki]

54. Her husband's aunt reportedly has provided "in-home childcare" for the past

16 years. She has also made passing reference to the babysitters (plural) who care for her kids. So yeah, she has plenty of help raising her children while she is out doing her thing. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I don't think that a male nominee's childcare arrangements would be scrutinized in the same way, so maybe we should tread lightly.

[Klaralven]

55. I was just thinking that her not wearing a mask would not endanger her children

if she doesn't have a lot of contact with them.

[bullwinkle428]

6. "Big Daddy" probably said "NO MASKS", and she demonstrated the true subservience

she's always ascribed to.

[Newest Reality]

7. I just assume...

I just assume that she is just following orders from her band members:

Handmaid & The Heads. Their hit song was, Tell Me What I'm Supposed To Do! And who can forget, By Your Command.

[world wide wally]

11. If we win the Senate, can she be immediately impeached?

[SCantiGOP]

14. Constitution is pretty clear

She could be impeached for cause, and it would require a 2/3 vote, or 67 Senators

[world wide wally]

19. Then we need to win BIG

[Polybius]

40. We're not getting 67 votes

We'll probably get up to 53 votes this election. Plus there is no way every Democrat would vote to remove her unless she commits a high crime.

Not to be a downer, but unless she's not confirmed, we're stuck with her until 2055.

[oldsoftie]

38. No.

You cant just impeach because you dont like the choice. She'd have to do something impeachable.

[treestar]

44. Perhaps reading her opinions or dissents

might give us something to show she is not following the law but her religious beliefs? That would mean her oath was false.

[Hotler]

12. A religious nut job. nt

[milestogo]

13. Didn't we used to pick judges on the basis of their judicial intelligence and temperament

Last edited Sun Sep 27, 2020, 01:04 PM - Edit history (1)

and not because they are committed a particular way?

[TruckFump]

24. That when this was the USA and not a Russian controlled state.

IMO, of course.

[womanofthehills]

15. She might believe God is protecting her family

A family in our small town who will not wear masks believes God has set the date for our demise - it’s totally in God’s hands.

[Lonestarblue]

22. So if you decide to stand in the middle of a busy freeway and get killed, that was God's decision!

What a bunch of nut jobs. There’s a reason humans have a brain With an ability to think and to reason. It’s sad that these people refuse to use theirs.

[oldsoftie]

39. I've used that very point with some of my "Faith over fear" friends

They HATE it when you point out that God also gave you a brain & free will

[lunatica]

48. That's not how they think

If you stand in the middle of the freeway god only decides to save you. Or, in other words, your actions will cause death unless god decides he wants you alive. Thus, if you get run over and die it’s god’s will which he exerts by giving you the free choice to be the idiot you aspire to be.

Evangelicals call this a perfectly logical thought process. Thus you can always say that whatever stupid thing you do is god’s will, no matter what the outcome.

[NoMoreRepugs]

21. She is not worthy. The bar set by RBG is too high for this

person to see, let alone meet.

[Old Terp]

25. DC has a mask mandate

and I don't see them covered by any of the allowed exception. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

[TruckFump]

31. Great comment!

Maybe someone should issue those in attendance "fix it" tickets!

[mnhtnbb]

27. I like the nickname that has already been given to her: Android Crony Barrett

She looks robotic. Undoubtedly she has been programmed to spew right wing garbage praising the white patriarchy.

I hope that the ghost of Ruth Bader Ginsburg haunts the Android's chambers.

[smirkymonkey]

37. LOL! That's hilarious!

I haven't heard that one before, but it is certainly fitting.

[snowybirdie]

28. I, too,

thought the same thing. She was irresponsible to bring her young children, one with disabilities, and elderly parents to, yet another, tRump Super spreader event. What's wrong with these people?

[TruckFump]

33. Her frickin' parents were there?!?!?!?

I missed that yesterday. I had the sound off and only saw the kiddos. Thanks for the info.

[Moostache]

29. You down with ACB? NO NOT ME!!!! (n/t)

[IronLionZion]

36. Some Dems blindly believe conservative women would be better

they underestimate how the GOP will search far and wide to find the worst woman to nominate

[TheBlackAdder]

50. In my Rutgers Women & Politics course, 45% of women are against the ERA and that led to its demise.

.

Phyllis Schlafly tapped into this. Wanting to keep women at home, when she had two prior unsuccessful attempts at political office before she started her crusade against the ERA. Most are against it for either paternal reasons, religious reasons or family beliefs.

From the mid-70s through the 90s, a solid and unwavering 45% of women vote paternalistic.

.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

42. Too many adults not acting as good role models for children right now.

The kids are supposed to wear masks to school. Why would they do that if their parents don't wear masks in public?

[TruckFump]

45. IMO: Wearing a mask is a HEALTH issue...not a POLITICAL issue.

I simply do not get it -- Repukes say in essence, "I don't want to wear a mask cuz I have a right to be free to catch the virus!"

Yep, their right...but the problem is that the rest of us have a right to be free from the RW assholes infecting us and our families.

[StClone]

52. Barrett's "People Praise" may find use for mouth coverings though

All 1K of them. I am old enough to remember small circle mantillas as mass head coverings. Even that was cast aside as unnecessary to please the Trinity. People of Praise is a throw back to simplistic of faith in a world in which they are having less control over faith and worldly dealings.

[VA_Jill]

43. Pictures please.

[TruckFump]

46. Better yet, here is a link to a page with videos

Choose whatever one you like. Guess you missed her in all of yesterday's news doing this.

[Warpy]

56. She's a mother with staff, obviously

She is a typical Aunt Lydia, full of preaching on how other women should live their lives when she, herself, has refused to do so.

[Tanuki]

57. She reminds me of that other dangerous hypocrite, Phyllis Schlafly.

[treestar]

58. +1

PS lectured women about their roles, but she did not inhabit that role.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

59. That sort of hypocrisy just doesn't seem to register with RWers.

"Blatant hypocrisy" may as well be their religion.
