It is that realization - that we as a nation just got scammed - that should fuel the next 20 years.

Which is what it’s going to take AT MINIMUM to clean up all the damage that Trump has wrought.

Don’t get me started on the intergenerational efforts that it’s going to take to undo the legacy of Reagan - sky-high deficits, insane defense spending, mass incarceration, punitive laws to destroy unions, deliberate destruction of the middle class, unleashing of the right-wing lie factory …

There’s a really high chance the Republicans are walking into a trap with regard to allowing Dr Ford to testify.

If Dr Ford either kept a diary where she detailed the assault, or told any of her friends about it at the time and either those friends are willing to testify that they remember being told or they noted it in their diaries, then it’s going to change the story from “he said/she said” into pretty solid evidence of guilt of Kavanaugh.

The Republicans seem to be betting that no contemporary evidence will emerge….that’s a massive, massive gamble to make.

Since the Republicans are not going to allow any witnesses other than Dr. Ford, she should drop some names of people who will be willing to testify on her behalf. These should be people who have told her they would be willing to speak up (and face the Republican consequences).

Put out some willing names to force a further investigation.

re: #357 Belafon

It kind of looks like he didn’t finish reading the tweet. If you had only written “Republicans are going to be vicious, cruel and misogynistic to Prof. Ford because they can’t help themselves, it’s who they are,” it kind of looks like you’re giving them a pass. You don’t in the rest of it, but I think that’s what stopped him. At times I really get tired of “it’s who they are, we just have to deal with it” and have fallen prey to wanting to respond to that: “no we don’t have to deal with this, they have to change.”

Not to go all Psychobabble, but one thing I learned in therapy is that you can’t make someone else change, especially if they see no reason to.

We had a couple ‘teachable moments’ over the past few decades, where there was a brief period of uncertainty on the Right, that maybe some of the things they believed weren’t actually true. In each case, something happened that allowed them to slip back into certainty again.

Take for example the 2008-2009 financial crisis. For a brief period, the Right was on the verge of understanding that the Free Market isn’t actually self-policing. Then some bright boy on the right wrote a column blaming the whole thing on a bill signed by Carter in the 1970s that required banks that took in deposits in poor, largely minority neighborhoods to make loans there, too. The claim was that banks were forced by this law to write mortgages to undeserving PoCs, and that’s why the banks failed.

It was the purest horseshit, because almost none of the banks that wrote the bad loans were affected by that law. But it allowed the Right to fix blame on government and black and brown people, getting loans they shouldn’t have, and the poor banks having no choice but to write bad mortgages. Self-examination around the lack of self-policing by the Free Market stopped in its tracks.

Or take the GOP’s ‘post mortem’ after the 2012 loss, that they needed to appeal to somebody other than uneducated white men. That lasted only a short time. In 2014, the GOP consolidated its hold on the Congress, and in 2016, there were enough angry white men to elect Donald Trump.

So, the GOP SHOULD change, but they don’t want to, and we can’t make them. The only thing we can do is deal with it, in this case by shining a light on who they really are, and getting out and fucking VOTING!!! We do that, we can reduce the GOP to a smoking crater.

More “remedial French history” for the WSJ maroons: Zola’a “J’Accuse” was directed at the French Goverment of the time, for abetting a miscarriage of justice in ignoring evidence of Dreyfus’s railroading - to spare the Army the embarrassment from having railroaded him in the first place. Nothing to do with making unfounded accusations, as these ahistorical hacks seem to believe.

Though one sobering fact: as late as the 1950s, I think something like 40% of French people polled still believed Dreyfus was guilty.

this is my ‘hope’ too - that’s she’s prepped and has something, anything objectively corroborative so they cant ignore the can of worms they just have to open

then the committee will still likely go to that stupid place of saying “we agreed to giving you a hearing. sorry no more witnesses” in another demonstration of the arbitrariness of this whole thing

Kavanaugh will withdraw before she ever testifies. The Rebloodicans tried to run a bluff and got called.

The Trumporrhoids and the Religious Right assholes will go absolutely apeshit—and just before the elections. Maybe it’ll prompt Cheetolini to shut down the government, too.

I really hate to have to think this way, but the GOP is waging war. They have a goal, maintaining power, and they will break any rule and norm to maintain that. And while our side has to hold ourselves to a higher standard - which still includes following the constitution - on what we’re willing to do, we cannot hold ourselves to restraints that the other side will not honor.
