Dear Senator Murkowski: You must know that your name has been mentioned during

[Atticus]

virtually every newscast for the past several days. A lot of supposed political "analysts" and " consultants" think it is very significant---even exciting---that you have said right out loud that you are "disturbed" that Mitch McConnell had said---oath be damned---he plans to acquit Trump as promptly as possible.

"Disturbed"-------

"Disturbed?"

People get "disturbed" when their reserved table is not ready when they arrive at the restaurant or the rare steak they ordered isn't even pink inside.

People get "disturbed" when they break a nail, lose a fish or miss a three foot putt.

When people hear that the jury foreman in a trial where their interests are at stake has openly announced his total agreement with their adversary and pledged to cooperate with them at the trial, normal decent folks are not "disturbed", they are outraged; angry; pissed off.

When you publicly use those terms or their equivalents, Senator, I will agree that you have said something significant; perhaps even courageous. But, until then, you are in the current news spotlight only because the 24 hour cable news industry needs something to hype.

Senators who are truly outraged and offended vote accordingly. Senators who are "disturbed" send "strongly worded notes"---sometimes.

1. It demonstrates how deep the fear and how shallow the courage

these Senators have.

She may very well be outraged and angry. But the Trump Cult is powerful. She found a reason to vote “present” on the Kavanaugh vote. She couldn’t bring herself to vote no, so she’s used as an excuse that the other Senator from Alaska had to be at his daughter’s wedding and wasn’t able to vote. How dumb.


We will see, but Lisa Murkowski has not yet proven any real bravery.

2. And Susan Collins is "concerned"

I guess they could both sign the 'strongly worded letter'

hehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. So, who could be the fourth Repub?

47 Dems need 4 Repub defectors to allow them to set the rules for the impeachment trial. Romney, Murkowski and Collins would be obvious to put on the list - who could be the fourth to join the Patriot Rebels?

[Kurt V.]

4. not many u.s. citizens know who this person is.
