Flipping through the channels this morning - the repubs are touting a Democratic Conspiracy!

It's their normal playbook, accuse us of doing exactly what they are doing. We now know that there really was a 'vast right wing conspiracy' trying to bring down the Clintons, and they strongly laughed it off and said we were paranoid at the time. Now, they are saying that the allegations against Kavanaugh are a long-planned plot to dethrone him. They are so desperately trying to deflect from their own decades long conspiracy to put strongly biased judges on all of the high courts by grooming them to seem fair-minded and covering up any controversies in their past.

It's hard to win against this game, particularly when it goes hand in hand with rigging elections.

Undermine confidence in elections, courts, FBI and Intelligence agencies, the unraveling of democracy.

Two thoughts: (1) Donnie Two Scoops is always shouting, and (2) how do the Dems gain "more power" when they pretty much have none now. What Mushroom Dick is really saying is, "Love me or love me."
