Kavanaugh will not be impartial

I believed his rant at the hearings.

I believe this tweet.

He should recuse himself from any case where a liberal sues a conservative.  He’s not objective.

Republican hypocrisy on Al Franken

I am not defending Al Franken’s behavior but he was pushed out of the Senate without even a hearing.  Republicans only care about sexual assault if Democrats do it.   Trump’s quote sounds like he thinks Franken should have fought it.  Trump would never admit to doing anything wrong and that’s how he thinks people should act.

Sharknado

I’m not going to tell you that the Sharknado movies are art but I have watched them the last two years on the day of my annual cancer test.  I’m a little out of it after the test but still sharp enough to follow a Sharknado film.

There’s even a story that Trump threatened to shut down filming of the third one because he didn’t get to play the president.

The cast for the third film was amazing.  It included:

Mark Cuban

Ann Coulter

Jared Fogle (the Subway pervert before we know about his behavior)

Anthony Weiner (after we knew about his sexting)

David Hasselhoff

Michael Winslow

Bo Derek

Lou Ferrigno

Jackie Collins

Robert Klein

Jerry Springer

Penn and Teller

Michele Bachman

Chad Johnson

Kathie Lee Gifford

McConnell’s hypocrisy

McConnell makes it clear that if there is another Supreme Court vacancy in Trump’s last hear, he will try to get the nominee confirmed.  Now his standard is that it’s ok as long as the President and Senate are from the same party.  Watch the video clip

from the CNN story linked to below:

“Speaking to both Fox News and CBS News on Sunday, McConnell would not rule out seeking to confirm a nominee if there is a Supreme Court vacancy in the final year of President Donald Trump’s first term in 2020, assuming the GOP holds onto the Senate in this November’s midterms. McConnell instead seemed to suggest that presidents don’t get Supreme Court nominees confirmed in a presidential election year — if the Senate is controlled by the opposite political party.”

Kavanaugh supporters gloat and reveal their misogyny

While some Republicans refer to Kavanaugh opponents as a mob, they need to look at how some of their own people are reacting.  I am going to link to a thread – look at the horrible tweets that have been made into screen prints.  I don’t know how this country will ever be unified again after this.   These people obviously have no interest.  They’re going with Trump’s zero-sum philosophy: Everyone’s a winner or a loser.  No cooperation.

Here’s the thread.

There’s some white nationalism stuff in there too.  Bigots.  Sad!

 

 

 

 

Covers: Mockingbird

The original version of “Mockingbird” was by the sister and brother duo Inez and Charlie Foxx in 1963.

There was a popular cover in 1973 by Carly Simon and her then husband James Taylor.  Simon does well but Taylor is horrible.  He has no feel for R&B which he also proved on his terrible cover of “How Sweet it Is”.  Stick to folk and country, James!

Taj Mahal did a much better version in 1993 with Etta James.
