Congrats to almost confirmed Brett Kavanaugh and President Trump who was able to beat the entire Democratic machine with the help of some very great Republican Senators!
Yay!
And with the help of one democratic senator. Let’s give credit where’s credit’s due.
Yes, they certainly can express their opinion and frustration but when you have an activist in Chicago agitating for people to “never let” a Maine rep “have a moment’s peace in public again” that goes beyond the pale.
Susan Collins gave an extraordinary speech today - she laid it out piece by piece, going through Judge Kavanaugh's Record and his opinions. She is well loved in Maine. She is respected in Maine.
Attacking Susan Collins particularly from Obama leftovers like Susan Rice ...... is a great way to turn the State of Maine RED. I think everyone must know by now I'm a Texan - I've spent a lot of time in Maine since the 1980's ..... (hint= HOT in Texas in summer, Cool in Maine in summer).
Great down to earth people, many small towns - even their large cities are like small town in Texas.
Mainers are pragmatic, more Libertarian than many and very Polite. "Never let XXX have moment of peace again" ........ will NOT play well.
The Leftists have lost their minds -- Normal People will NOT accept them.
I'm not saying anything like that. I'm saying if a woman is raped or assaulted, do everything you can to gather your courage and go to the police as soon as possible. I'm sure it's the hardest thing anyone could ever contemplate doing besides burying a child, but it is a duty in my opinion. Rapists are repeat offenders. We owe it to other women, men, boys, and girls to make sure that person gets marked for what they did (if they are proved to be guilty of course).
I understand children being manipulated to not tell, and being afraid to tell, but no woman or man should ever be too afraid to go to the police when they have an opportunity. It may not work out for you. They may tell you that there is not enough evidence to prosecute. They may tell you that the person you're going after is too powerful like they did to one victim of Bill Cosby, but there is a now a record of it. That woman had the last laugh because she not only made a report, she filed a civil suit against Cosby and got him to say some very incriminating things in a deposition. It's the thing that finally got him in trouble. So even though it seemed like it was pointless at the time, it really was a great move.
Katy unless you say all men are evil rapists then these posters are going to accuse you of enabling rapists and blaming the victim. They refuse to live in the real world.
There are predators in the real world. The best any of us can do is to be proactive and use some common sense. Nothing is 100%. The trusted friend or family member who is a predator will always be out there. Telling a predator not to rape women and expecting results is a pipe dream.
Is it blaming the victim if I advise a friend visiting my city to avoid certain areas, especially at night?
Is it blaming the victim if I advise them to avoid certain products that I know are defective?
Then why is it blaming the victim if I coach my daughters to use the buddy system and avoid accepting drinks from strangers? Yes I was criticized for that advice.
He had a justifiable reason for being angry. The left had accused him of a vile crime. His family was receiving threats. The democrat party as a whole were the ones driving it all.
We already have a SCJ who spoke out against the President. She later apologized, but hey she is a hard core leftists so it is acceptable right?
Why do you impose standards for those on the right that you ignore in your own?
There are plenty of reasons to be angry, that doesn't excuse his behavior.
When the Dems take back the Senate I hope they restore the 60 vote requirement for SC judges. We have seen what a partisan fiasco the simple majority vote is. Needing "the other side" would lead to better choices and eliminate the spectacle and the pressure on the only decent senators we have, the moderates.

Well he is saving or trying to save his seat but I applaud him for voting yes.
Any Dem who votes for Kavanaugh will feel the wrath of the Clintons and end up in a body bag just like the rest of them.
