1. Disgusting

[2naSalit]

2. Yikes...

What an ugly-demon-nightmare-from-hell.

[SheltieLover]

75. You said it very well!

[BigmanPigman]

93. Stepford Wife

[magicarpet]

94. Oh Fuck,...

.... just what we need,... a Christo-Fucking Fascist Nazi sitting on the Supreme Court for four or possibly five decades.

Neo-Christian Fascist Gestapo,... I'm sick of them. Just go away. Enough.

[MontanaMama]

3. Oh hell no.

She’s worse than the worst man I can think of.

[demigoddess]

38. you said it

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

83. phyllis schafly reincarnated

bet she has a pin that says-lady

[hedda_foil]

89. Not Schlafly. Serena Joy.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

96. well. phyllis lived.

we still have a chance to prevent serena joy.

[Mme. Defarge]

4. Crazy eyes.

[stage left]

90. Yep

She's got crazy Bachman eyes. (Sung to the tune of "Bette Davis Eyes."

[Mme. Defarge]

97. Exactement!

That’s the first thing I thought of.

[Hiawatha Pete]

5. It's been said here before by others, and I re-quote:

American Taliban

[iscooterliberally]

6. Oh great...he picked Aunt Lydia

[murielm99]

36. We must resolve to call her

Aunt Lydia from now on.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

58. I think she is more like Serena Joy

She's the educated, yet conservative woman who doesn't seem to get that the ideology she supports is going to one day bite her in the ass. For the time being, the gig suits her personally and she has power and success. She'll come to regret it when she realizes she empowered men to take away her power, but she won't see it coming until it is too late.

[Gothmog]

7. This lady does not belong on the SCOTUS

[eppur_se_muova]

8. Wait -- doesn't that mean she belongs to a *different* cult from 45 ?

Would he really want that competition ? Would he have any truck with someone who believes in being "accountable" ?

[Evolve Dammit]

53. Ooh. "Cult 45" I think we have a new label!

[Tom Traubert]

9. I wonder when she gets Trumps initials branded on her crotch?

74. "The Vow" on HBO. Yesterday was episode 5.

[niyad]

10. Did this stepford wife's husband order her to the bench? Will he be making the actual decisions?

[CottonBear]

11. So why the fuck is she working outside the home?

What an evil human she is.

[AllyCat]

12. Gross. What is the matter with people? Why do people believe this $hit?

Cannot believe this is what we will have to replace the great RBG. Another rubber stamp to trample women's rights, minority rights, worker rights, and voter rights.

[Blue Owl]

13. I'm sure Mike Pence and Mother are giddy with hope

[lunasun]

14. Deplorable & Scary ..just in time for Halloween fright. Catholic Charismatic renewal

It s not a passing phase long family ties to the group

Current and former members of People of Praise said that Ms. Barrett and her husband, who have seven children, both belong to the group, and that their fathers have served as leaders. The community, founded in 1971, claims about 1,800 adult members in 22 locations in North America and the Caribbean.

The group believes in prophecy, speaking in tongues and divine healings, staples of Pentecostal churches that some Catholics have also adopted in a movement called charismatic renewal.
The People of Praise was an early leader in the flowering of that movement in North America. It is ecumenical, but about 90 percent of its members are Catholic.

To fulfill the group’s communitarian vision, unmarried members are sometimes placed to live in homes with married couples and their children, and members often look to buy or rent homes near other members.

15. The most important aspect of this cult is their determination to enforce their beliefs on everyone.

People of Praise is a secret organization that has much in common with Opus Dei. They are attempting to enforce their beliefs on Catholics and society as a whole that has unanimously abandoned their opposition to contraceptive birth control, abortion or acceptance of homosexuality. They are basically evangelicals and the remnants of the movement that took hold at Notre Dame that was short lived. The vast majority of Catholics have rejected their absurd positions and either quietly remain members or like millions have left the church. They are uncompromising in their strict adherence to no accommodation with anyone who doesn't agree with their beliefs. It would difficult to find anyone was less qualified to be an objective judge of constitutional law.

[RKP5637]

18. K&R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[keithbvadu2]

25. "enforce their beliefs on..."

[cayugafalls]

33. +1000

Well said!

[RKP5637]

16. Sickening / nauseating. The country is being ruled by some really creepy bizarre people. Just

what the US needs, more creepy/crappy religion injected into it with some legal authority. It will take generations to clean up the US after this shit in the WH is out of office.

[Ilsa]

17. Then she should stay home, not make decisions affecting men's lives.

Oh the hypocrisy!

[panfluteman]

19. Just Went to the People of Praise Website

The whole heads and handmaids thing was not immediately apparent - guess I'll have to dig deeper into their site. What it seems to me is that this is kind of a Christian Trojan horse nomination. Trump knows that everyone is mourning the passing of a great female Supreme Court justice - so his leading candidate is a woman, but that's the only resemblance she bears to RBG.

[dalton99a]

55. +1

[Glorfindel]

20. Pure, slithering, crawling evil

Utterly unfit.

[dlk]

21. It sounds a lot like the structure of Scientology

Scary stuff!

[malthaussen]

22. You can see the fanatacism in her eyes...

... "Old Blue Light" as ever was.

-- Mal

[Pacifist Patriot]

23. Oh good gravy, no! Way too close to Handmaid's Tale for comfort.

[onlyadream]

61. Totally agree!

Just that word makes me nervous! What the heck is happening!!!???

[NYCButterfinger]

24. Nothing wrong with being a conservative woman, I have some in my family

But she is a complete nutjob

[keithbvadu2]

26. The Super Christians were claiming that JFK would be ruled by the Pope.

The Super Christians were claiming that JFK would be ruled by the Pope.

This one looks likely but with her own leaders.

[NewJeffCT]

27. Handmaids?

Nothing creepy about that.

[mjvpi]

31. That was my first reaction

Fire tornadoes, a US President under the control of Russia, Greenland melting....... Fiction writers and comedians are now historians and political scientists. I guess the good ones always have been, but damn.

[milestogo]

54. Praise be.

[NewJeffCT]

57. Under His Eye

comes to mind as well

[milestogo]

60. And "what the actual fuck"

which June says when her masters are not within earshot.

[femmedem]

84. According to Newsweek, this group literally inspired Atwood to write The Handmaid's Tale.

https://www.newsweek.com/amy-coney-barrett-people-praise-group-inspired-handmaids-tale-1533293

[world wide wally]

28. Someone has to make her renounce that group publicly during the hearings

[FBaggins]

29. Whether to take a job? Hmmmm...

Last edited Mon Sep 21, 2020, 04:25 PM - Edit history (1)

So we need to find this "handmaiden" and convince her that Amy needs to think about the job for a few months before committing.

[Kali]

30. the eyes should have already disqualified her for any public office

[cayugafalls]

32. Oh hell no! Not going there.

This will not stand.

Handmaids? WTAF? This can not happen.

F*ck Trump.

[liberal N proud]

34. First question to her should be...

If you believe that a woman belongs at home, what are you doing here?

[pandr32]

35. How can she be a judge herself then?

Does her husband act as her advisor, or some other man?

[Mersky]

37. Religious extremist for the SC?

I don’t think so. Heads and handmaids of this sect need to stick to their little corner of crazy.

[pazzyanne]

39. Like hell!

I have a pre-existing condition call "oppositional defiance". I don't drink or do drugs because I don't like being controlled by anything other than myself. This bird won't fly in my world!

[yuiyoshida]

40. i thought maybe he would pick Jeanine Pirro for the Supreme court

She is more his speed.

[sandensea]

47. I bet that's who he really wants - but his henchmen are working non-stop to save him from himself

A tough job if there ever was one.

[yuiyoshida]

63. I have heard this...

I don't know what's true anymore

[sandensea]

64. Plus - what's true today, may not be true the next day

That's how it goes with tin-pot despots like His Orangeness.

[LudwigPastorius]

41. I guess you could call her the Republic(an) of Gilead?

With those crazy eyes, these two could be sisters!

[sandensea]

46. MK Ultra

Gotta be.

[sandensea]

42. Some say it Cheeto's now leaning toward Elian Gonzalez-era lawyer Barbara Lagoa

As he thinks it would curry favor with Florida's Cuban community.

That's how stupid he thinks they are.

[LudwigPastorius]

48. Yeah, but Trump likes judges who "look the part"*

* are white

So far, Trump has been more likely than other recent presidents to appoint judges who are white. More than eight-in-ten (85%) of the federal judges appointed by Trump through July 7 (2020) are white, while 15% are of a different race or ethnicity.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/07/15/how-trump-compares-with-other-recent-presidents-in-appointing-federal-judges/

[sandensea]

49. True

Many in the Cuban exile community vote Republican out of a believe they'll somehow "belong" to the majority if they do so.

The irony being that the people who despise them, are mostly white Republicans.

[RVN VET71]

43. Those eyes!

This is a physically attractive woman with a look of insanity in her eyes.

"Head" and "Handmaid", really? That, my friends, is the give-away, here. I read somewhere that she is alleged to have said in an interview that, if it came down to a choice between following the constitution or the dictates of her church, she would follow her church. I'm sure she'll be asked and her answer will define her place in the history of the SCOTUS forever.

Personally, my first question would be -- and I'm sure she's going to be asked again and again -- "Since your nomination was made despite the Senate leader's insistence that such nominations not go forward if made in the last year of a presidential term, an insistence that resulted in the Senate refusal to even hold a hearing on the nomination of Merrick Garland, your colleague, how do you reconcile accepting the nomination you received? Was it not given you under a cloud of blatant hypocrisy? And doesn't such a cloud besmirch not only the nomination but also your own integrity as a justice?"

Yeah, I'd love to hear her response. I doubt she'd answer directly. Yeah, yeah, she'd still get on the court, even if she dodged the question, but it would be nice to have her own words (or deliberate lack thereof) proving she's as amoral and dishonorable as the male whores who support her.

[The Mouth]

50. Anyone who cares about this issue is already opposed to Trump and anyone he'd nominate.

We're preachin' to the choir here.

[LudwigPastorius]

51. The first thing I think I'd ask her would be,...

"Do you hear a voice, or voices, in your head? And, "Do you believe this is God talking to you?"

[RVN VET71]

67. It's a sad day indeed when that sort of question would be legitimate.

And it is, indeed, a sad day. I'd love to see Senator Harris ask it, although she'd probably only ask the second one. Decorum and all that.

[TheFarseer]

44. Sounds like Fiddler on the Roof

Only use a matchmaker for every decision. On the plus side, head and handmaid could mean a job with a living wage for some people, that is until they replace those people with a Magic Eightball.

[sandensea]

45. The Stepford Justice

Rated R (for Republican)

[Evolve Dammit]

52. Michelle Bachman with legal credentials. JFC. Wonder if she wants to be raptured? First question.

[Harker]

65. I was hearing the same variation

on "Bette Davis Eyes."

That photo captured only an instant, but that is one creepy instant.

[Evolve Dammit]

78. Malkin and Pirro come to mind as well. BS crazy.

[Harker]

81. Oh, yeah.

Maybe someone can catch her eating a corndog.

[Evolve Dammit]

85. or an actual dog ...

[turbinetree]

56. So do I have to get permission from the heads and handmaiden to fucking breath

or what to fucking eat..........or does the country now have to be able to speak in tongues to the high order.......so is this an off shoot of Catholicism, I swear that we have a pope leading the Inquisition................there is no separation between church and state.................that picture and those eyes.............says everything...................

[sinkingfeeling]

59. So, would she have to get advice from her handmaid and husband before ruling in cases?

[Initech]

62. Stepford Suburban Housewives

[Vinca]

66. OMG - she's got children of the corn eyes.

[alfredo]

68. Watch HBO's "The Vow." It's a documentary about a cult

[MustLoveBeagles]

69. Oh hell no!

[greatauntoftriplets]

70. May the Lord open...

The gates of hell and swallow all these whackjobs.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

71. They believe that men are the "heads"

and women are the "handmaidens". What could possibly go wrong?

[magicarpet]

95. It is well past time that women knew their place.....

Just kidding,... I swear to Godess,... just kidding.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

98. Tee Hee...

[magicarpet]

99. Well,.. men are the helmets of the household.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

72. She's got Michele Bachmann eyes...

[voteearlyvoteoften]

73. WTF

OMG

[NurseJackie]

76. Double-post.

Double post error. See post just below.

[NurseJackie]

77. How does she feel about TWO husbands or TWO wives? Who "rules" then?

She's a loony tune. A nutcase. A fruitcake. Bananas. Wacko. Crazy-eyes. Cuckoo. Nutso. Wacky.

She's no Harriet Meyers, that's for sure.

[bucolic_frolic]

79. She's a Vampire

what a discomforting stare. I mean really, a bloodsucker.

[jmowreader]

80. So...Trump wants to give a cult member a seat on the Supreme Court

[blueseas]

82. Her husband let her out?

She is out without her husband? She went to school without him knowing? What???

[StTimofEdenRoc]

86. This is his vengeance

She is the perfect replacement for a vengeful man, as Ruth made insulting comments about him. This is his vengeance, a woman right out of the handmaid's tale. He will make all the republicans die on this hill. There will be no stopping this.

[Aussie105]

87. They exist!

Googled, thinking this is a beat up, a figment of someone's putrid imagination.

But they exist!

https://peopleofpraise.org/missionary/

Got to ask: What is it about some people that they need to transmogrify a perfectly normal religion?
A need to belong, a need to be special, a need to stand out from the crowd? A need to have others rule their lives, and make important life decisions for them?

Turns out 'A handmaids tale' is a documentary, not fiction!

Only in America!

[Ellipsis]

88. She has Michelle Bachman eyes.

Brrrrrhhh.

[Liberty Belle]

91. I didn't think he could do worse than a basic anti-abortion Phyllis Schlaffly type conservative

But he managed to find a woman who wants to take us back to Neanderthal days of cavemen dragging us around by the hair.

How can Republican women be so absolutely STUPID as to support this shit?

[RANDYWILDMAN]

92. Originalist, look it up!!!!

Takes her law from 230 year old white men.

From an era that girls and women didn't go to school
Didn't go to college, Rhodes first female 1917
Didn't go to law school, Notre Dame 1967
Didn't become judges, 1962
Didn't become supreme court justices. 1981
oh and also didn't vote
and did whatever their husbands told them to do.
