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

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!!!!! ![]() |

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. |

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. |

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.

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. |

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. . |
