The Kavanaugh mess

I have been asked by many people if I believe the woman accusing Kavanaugh of sexual molestation.  No, not as presented.  She cannot remember the house this took place in,  she cannot remember the day, she cannot remember how old she was.  I know a few women who have had this happen to them.  They remember the place in vivid detail.  They remember the man, they remember how he smelled.  They definitely remember the day and the exact date.  Why?  Because this is the time that all power over their own bodies was taken from them.  They remember because it destroyed who they were.  And 36 years, no.  Do I think it happened?  I don't know.  I can say this: high school girls talk about everything.  This would not have been kept quiet.  Every girl in that high school would have known about it.  Every one of them.  So what I think it is is a political stunt by the democrats.  And that is all it is.  They are willing to destroy two people to get what they want and make no mistake, this woman is just as destroyed as is Kavanaugh.  Neither will recover from this. 

As soon as this metoo movement started, i expected this to happen.  And all this does is denigrate those who have really suffered severe attacks.  It waters down what happened to them.  It makes them less credible.  It puts us back in the 1960's when if a woman was raped, it was her fault.  It was because she smiled at him in a seductive way, or she was wearing seductive clothing, or she had lose morals.  Every woman that was actually raped was put on trial and it was almost like the rapist was the victim.  And we are returning to that.  And by making this political, it is speeding up the return.  Rape is a ghastly crime.  It is about violence. It is about destroying the woman's self esteem.  It is about destroying the woman.  And it is about taking power from the woman.  It makes the woman an object for the man to use as he wishes.  And we are quickly returning to this.  Those politicians that started this were women and should be ashamed of themselves.  They know what will happen but they don't care as long as they get what they want.  They have no empathy nor any soul. 

Politics

I really want to look away, but I can't.  What is taking place in Washington today is mind blowing.  Bob Woodward wrote a book about Trump's White House and someone wrote an anonymous op-ed backing up everything he said in his book.  My take, I think Woodward wrote that op-ed to push the sale of his book.  Woodward has very little credibility.  He was in bed with Bush and backed the invasion of Iraq on the lies of WMD's.  When asked by a reporter what would he say if no WMD's were found.  He stated that that would not happen because the administration had proof they were there.  When none were found, he said well, I guess I got that one wrong.  He also wrote a book trashing Obama over something that was unfounded.  So the man is not relivent and is looking for something to give him credibility and that credibility is not there. 

I'm still trying to figure out why Trump is so hated.  Yeah he is an asshole.  We all know that, but he has not invaded a country on a pack of manufactured lies.  He has not fought that war off the books with no funding and is not leaving it for the next president to figure out how to pay for it.  He has not handed his cronies trillions of dollars with no accounting.  He has not delivered pallets of money to one of our enemies that is building nuclear weapons.  He has not encouraged uprisings in the Middle East and left the rebels hanging.  All he has done is run his mouth.  But the democrats have made it their goal to make him fail because their queen was not given her throne.  And that is what they saw.  And this goes back to 2008.  Hillary and Obama were running pretty close.  The dems wanted to put a black man in office.  So Hillary was promised is she backed off and let Obama win the election, when his terms were us, she would be president.  She was promised the White House by the dems.  And they could not deliver.  And that is what they are angry about.  The repugs hate Trump because he is not an insider.  So he is fighting an uphill battle.  Both parties are out to make him fail.  And since he is the underdog, I will vote for him again in 2020.

Circus

I have been keeping track of the confirmation hearings for our new Supreme Court Justice.  I kinda like Kavanaugh.  He may be a conservative, but he seems to be firmly entrenched in justice and enforcing the Constitution.  For what it is worth, I am all for keeping RoevWade.  It is very needed. 

That being said, I never thought I would see the day when all the democrats can do is trash someone.  They were in charge when the economy went to hell in 2008.  That is what lost them the majority then.  They did nothing.  Not one thing in the time they were in control in the legislature, but as soon as they lost control, the bitching started.  No, I don't like most of the Republicans.  I do not.  The thing is,I expected better from the Democrats, but looking back, they have never really been there for the people.  We passed the Civil Rights Bill in the 1960's.  By the 1970's, the democrats had convinced the blacks that they were victims and were owed and that they all needed to be on welfare.  They have kept them there all these years too.  There is never a push to bring good schools to the black neighborhoods.  There is never a push to bring businesses to the black neighborhoods.  There is never a push to bring jobs to the black neighborhoods.  And forget about the American Indians.  They are invisible.  They don't count and never have.  So yes, I expect better from the Democrats.  But what I see is meanness, petty backbiting, and just plain stupid.  I expect the republicans to be mean, petty and stupid.  They never disappoint.  But the dems sure have. 

Cannot believe what is taking place

I look at what is happening in my country today and it is a repeat of the 1960's-70's.  The rich kids railed against the government and against the troops sent to Vietnam.  They spat on them when they were returning.  They called them baby killers.  This from the cowards that didn't have the guts to step up and do their share.  No, they were busy doing drugs and screwing whatever would hold still for them.  They contributed nothing, nothing.  All this while the poor whites and blacks fought that war.  And the government let them do it and allowed them to steep in their butt hurt, poor me wallow at the same time as they were getting preferential treatment over the poor whites and blacks. 

Fast forward to today.  The democrats are so angry that they did not get what they wanted in 2016 and they will not let it go.  They are dead set on making the government fail never realizing nor caring that if the government fails, so does the country.  They don't care.  Why?  Well they have come up in an era when lying was ok, where creating your own reality was the norm.  Where never accepting responsibility for their actions was the norm.  So that Constitution means nothing to them.  Our place in the world means nothing to them.  The only thing that means anything to them is that they get their way.  Just take a look at what New York is set to put in the Senate.  A barely literate person who has no clue about the world around her.  She can not even string words together to make an articulate sentence.  And she is supposed to hold a degree in Economics and International Politics.  She cannot even articulate why she thinks that the Palestinians are being screwed.  Her one job since college is bartending.  So we are going to have an illiterate bartender in one of the most powerful seats in congress.  And the people of this district are ok with this.  This illustrated the dumbing down of our society.  She represents the young of today.  No knowledge, but will demand the most absurd policies. 

Now let's get to the Republicans.  They are also butt-hurt because one of their own from the political good ole boy network was not chosen by the American voters to serve as our President.  All you have to do is take a look back over the year and the republicans are as bad as the democrats.  Actually, I think they are worse because they should have backed the president.  None of them have.  So on the democrat side. we have the butt hurt young idiots and the illegals idiots whining because we did not give the White House to their chosen candidate and she so deserved it because she worked so hard for it.  And boo hoo how dare the voters not vote for her.  We will show them.  Never mind that we can elect whomever we want. 

Then we have the butt hurt repugs.  They don't like Trump because he is an outsider.  He is not from the swamp and does not fit in their social groups.  So they won't support him.  Disgusting on both sides.  I am a registered independent and will never return to the Democratic party.  When they start touting illiterate fools to run the country, time to run.  And I did.
