Trump’s bizarre and lie-filled UN press conference and rant

 

great thread:

54% of Republicans think Kavanaugh should be confirmed even if Ford allegations are true

That’s disgusting.  Republicans (starting at the top) don’t care about sexual assault.

The poll was taken before today’s hearing.

Republicans can’t talk about making the Kavanaugh hearing political

At least Kavanaugh got a hearing.  That’s more than Garland got.

Republicans stole a Supreme Court seat.  I have no sympathy for them.

If Democrats created all these allegations against Kavanaugh for political purposes (which I don’t think happened), which didn’t they do the same thing to Gorsuch last year?

Republicans do not take sexual harassment as seriously as Democrats do. Democrats got Franken to leave the Senate without even a hearing.  Republicans elected Trump president.  I am sure there are dozens of Republican senators who would vote for Kavanaugh even if they think he’s guilty.

I can’t imagine why Ford would put herself through this if her allegations weren’t true.  Who wants death threats?

Cadillac Ranch

The Cadillac Ranch is an art project in Amarillo, Texas consisting of 10 half-buried Cadillacs.  Visitors paint the card which are periodically repainted with solid colors.

It inspired Bruce Springsteen’s 1980 song “Cadillac Ranch”.

Covers: You Never Can Tell

Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell” was recorded in 1964.  It’s one of the best songs of his post-jail renaissance.  I love his invented word “coolerator’ which he used instead of refrigerator.

It has been covered by a diverse group of artists such as John Prine (1975) and Emmylou Harris (1977).  Bruce Springsteen played it live on his 2013 tour.
