I think we are about to endure the Mother Of All Shitstorms

[Stinky The Clown]

The GOPeePeePenis is fearful in the extreme of losing both houses of Congress. That's why the rush for Kavanaugh, for example. The Court is their Holy Grail. But it is beyond that. They need to protect Orange Don like a hive swarms to protect the queen bee. To that end they will spare no expense, including congressional seats if need be. Rosenstein is the next issue. Listen for names you've never heard of to be tapped for replacement duty in DOJ slots where they can end or short circuit the investigation.

I don't even know what to worry about . . . except for everything.

Some people are saying we are watching to slow moving Saturday Night Massacre. I think a more apt term is to call this a slow moving coup d'etat.

1. The foundations of this country are being shaken and it's hard to tell where it's going to fall. n/t

[mucifer]

2. I feel a need to take psych meds before watching Rachel Maddow

I'm going to hide under my bed now.

[Separation]

3. No

That comes if Trump is able to get another nomination to the Supreme Court if Ruth Baber Ginsburg were to pass.

[sheshe2]

6. Do you mean Ruth Baber Ginsburg?

[Separation]

8. Wow, huge brain fart, sorry.

Will edit the post.

[sheshe2]

12. You scared me for a moment.

Thought you knew something I did not, Separation.

[whopis01]

41. Do you mean Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

[ornotna]

17. Baber?

[Separation]

23. Oh yea

My initial post is just scribbled all over with red ink from the mistakes.

The point remains the same though.

[ornotna]

33. Got it

It certainly doesn't diminish your point.

[Dawson Leery]

4. The reactionaries used the courts during the 1850's-60's and the 1930's to stop progress.

Each time, the President and his party had to play hardball with the court.
If the court does not respect progress, they must understand they will either respect the new progressive majority or they will have additional members to ensure they respect this majority.

5. I am hoping Avenatti's client has what it takes to stop this shitshow in its tracks.

Even Repukes will have a hard time explaining away gangbangs, not that they won't try.

[RKP5637]

7. Same here. I hope we hear something tomorrow. It would be great if somehow he could bring criminal

charges.

[Garrett78]

10. His alleged client better come forward tomorrow with a really explosive story. At this point...

...it's going to take a minor miracle to keep Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court.

[world wide wally]

19. I wonder if she may file criminal charges

[meadowlark5]

32. Rachel asked him on her show last night about filing criminal charges

and Avenatti said that has been discussed. But this happened at Yale and I do believe that state does have a statute of limitations.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Yesterday a GOP

Strategist said he expects to lose both houses of Congress for at least two decades if Kavanah wins appointment.

But the mega Donors could care less,they get their bullet proof Conservative Court for fifty years.

Ricketts out of Chicago is running the Pro Kavanah Ads as well as the Attack Ads against Dem Senate and House Candidates. Understand he has 52 million and just got another 28 million yesterday.

[roamer65]

14. Not when we pack the Court with 4 new justices.

January 2021.

Just takes a simple majority of both Houses and a presidential signature.

Also, we should kill the filibuster. Take out back and shoot it dead. You can then pack the court with a 51 vote majority.

[Dawson Leery]

15. +1

Chances are the filibuster is going away.

A new GOP minority will be as insolent as they were during the 30's and the Democrats during the Civil War era.

They will use the filibuster to stop everything.

[Cartoonist]

26. I'm doubtful

I would bet at least 10 Dems would not support more justices. As for the filibuster, the Dems had a chance to kill it, but balked out of principle.

Our politicians will not do what we want. We only get incremental progress.

[Lucky Luciano]

30. Pack the courts!!!!

[triron]

11. The coup d'etat has already occurred.

[Grasswire2]

13. Just the way Putin planned it.

Chaos.

Some never Trumper Republicans are saying that the hive is willing to lose the mid-terms to get Kavanaugh. The hive particularly likes him because he is corrupted, blackmailable, and will do everything asked of him.

[catbyte]

16. Paul Krugman is dead on:

[roamer65]

18. It's more dire than that.

If they steal the election, secession movements will be born and take power.

It will be the beginning of the end of the republic.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

21. "You say you want a revolution . . . "

[peggysue2]

25. Yes!

All the drama, the lunacy, the corruption we're witnessing now will become exponentially worse if the Trumpsters' Republican phalanx is not smashed, crushed, swept out to sea. The GOP has shirked all accountability and reason. They're bankrupt zombies running on raw ambition and greed.

We're on Red Alert right now, in the moment.

It's that fucking serious. November 6th is do or die. For the Republic, the Rule of Law and for everyone who still has a moral compass and functioning brain.

We can do this. Because we must.

[pioche4]

37. Yes...dead on.

It is a power play our country has not seen....

[eleny]

20. Resulting in paradigm shift so fast our heads will spin

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. Right now, it's my stomach that is spinning.

The maker of TUMS is getting rich off of me.

[eleny]

24. You'll be graduating to Pepcid Complete very soon

..... .....

[Haggis for Breakfast]

35. Is it any less chalky tasting ?

[eleny]

38. yes

and it works in a flash. the knockoffs at the grocery or walgreens all work the same.

[Doitnow]

39. Try a spoonful of apple cider vingar in a glass of water----much better than the

store stuff.

[spooky3]

27. I know a lot of people agree, but I have a different take.

I think the Republicans and their big money donors are confident that they will hold the Senate. They figure they will likely lose the House, no matter what they do on Kavanaugh, so they are doing their best to ram it through.

They do not care about "suburban women voters" and they know that will continue to have the support of the majority of white male voters, the only ones they care about.

But they can still do a lot of damage with P-brain in the White House and control of the Senate, and they will have stacked the SC and lower courts in the process.

[elmac]

28. oh, its only going to get much worse, we haven't seen nothing yet. nt

[WhiteTara]

29. The coup occurred on 12-12-2000

We are now down the rabbit hole of fascism and one step from total lock down. Passport in hand? Go bag packed? A few bucks stashed for the run? I was in Europe after the war; those people were totally traumatized. I have no idea (and hope that there isn't a nazi repeat) but the symptoms are there.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. Can't believe this isn't catching on..the rush is for

Trump and his pardon. Authority ..state vs fed overlap

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. it protects all the traitors

That's the reason they are desperate to install Kavanaugh. All the criminal GOPers get out of jail free.

[TryLogic]

36. I really hope Mueller has made arrangements to provide everything he has learned

to various states' AGs regarding all of the crimes he is uncovering.

[Hekate]

40. Nicolle Wallace was saying this is like the moment when the Embassy is about to be overrun...

...and you hit "Send" on all the packets.

Striking imagery. And true.
