Trump Smears Sexual Assault Survivors as “Elevator Screamers” Paid By George Soros

What do Flake, Murkowski, and Collins have to say about this one?

After mocking Christine Blasey Ford earlier this week, President Donald Trump on Friday tweeted out a conspiratorial attack on the sexual assault survivors who have confronted Republican senators over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, calling them “elevator screamers” and “paid professionals” bankrolled by billionaire George Soros.

I didn't think I could feel any more contempt for this filthy animal than I already did.

Chuck Grassley just said there are no GOP women on the judiciary committee because they're lazy.

"It's a lot of work --- maybe they don't want to do it" -- Chuck Grassley, when asked why there are no GOP women on the judiciary committee.

Are they purposely trying to lose even more women voters?
I guess they think they can win elections with only angry white men.

Trump: Franken folded ‘like a wet rag’ under sexual misconduct allegations.

President Donald Trump mocked former Sen. Al Franken for folding "up like a wet rag" after allegations of sexual misconduct were leveled against him, ridiculing the former lawmaker as Senate Republicans work to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

"Boy, did he fold up like a wet rag. Man, man, he was gone so fast," Trump said at a rally Thursday night in Franken's home state of Minnesota. "It was like, 'oh, he did something,' 'oh I resign. I quit.'"

The man is beneath contempt.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) was one of the loudest voices calling for the resignation of former Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) amid accusations of sexual harassment last fall.

While Collins is hesitant to believe the woman accusing Kavanaugh of pinning her down on a bed and attempting to remove her clothes when she was 15 years old, she had no qualms with immediately believing the allegations of sexual harassment against Franken to be true.

“I did find the allegations against him to be both credible, disgusting and appalling and degrading to women,” Collins said of Franken in November.

That you seem to think that you know what I did or did not complain about in 1992.

I know you suffer from delusions, but I had no idea it was that bad.

And FYI jackass it was Betsy Ross Wright who ran the rapid response system that was responsible for answering all personal attacks on Bill Clinton.

Donald Trump Campaign Offered Actors $50 to Cheer for Him at Presidential Announcement

Donald Trump's big presidential announcement Tuesday was made a little bigger with help from paid actors — at $50 a pop.

New York-based Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to its client list of background actors, seeking extras to beef up attendance at Trump's event.

"We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement," reads the June 12 email, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

"We understand this is not a traditional 'background job,' but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought."

F.B.I. Review of Kavanaugh Was Limited From the Start



Why would it have been disastrous?
What else were they hiding?

The fix was in from the start.
They withheld more than 100,000 documents.
Kavanaugh lied through his teeth both before Dr. Ford came forward and after.
The hearing with Dr. Ford was a sham.
And they lied about the FBI having free reign to investigate.

So basically they lied and cheated to ram through a hyperpartisan political hack who is a serial perjurer.
And the Deplorables are gloating over this as if it is some kind of a moral victory.

Trump administration demands Facebook info on anti-Trump activists.

The Trump administration reportedly has obtained search warrants that would allow them access to the Facebook pages of thousands of anti-Trump protesters.

The requested data — which targets all the information in three accounts — would include information on about 6,000 individuals who “liked” an anti-Donald Trump Facebook page, according to CNN.

The ACLU is fighting the warrant, claiming it seeks information that is not relevant to the federal probe.

“What is particularly chilling about these warrants is that anti-administration political activists are going to have their political associations and views scrutinized by the very administration they are protesting,” said ACLU attorney Scott Michelman.

Requested data would go back to Nov. 1, 2016, a week before the presidential election.

One of the users targeted ran the disruptj20 page, where Inauguration Day protests were organized, CNN said.

Sounds like fascism.

The Corrosion of Conservatism: Why I Left the Right
By Max Boot

As nativism, xenophobia, vile racism, and assaults on the rule of law threaten the very fabric of our nation, The Corrosion of Conservatism presents an urgent defense of American democracy.

Pronouncing Mexican immigrants to be “rapists,” Donald Trump announced his 2015 presidential bid, causing Max Boot to think he was watching a dystopian science-fiction movie.

The respected conservative historian couldn’t fathom that the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan could endorse such an unqualified reality-TV star.

Yet the Twilight Zone episode that Boot believed he was watching created an ideological dislocation so shattering that Boot’s transformation from Republican foreign policy adviser to celebrated anti-Trump columnist becomes the dramatic story of The Corrosion of Conservatism.

No longer a Republican, but also not a Democrat, Boot here records his ideological journey from a “movement” conservative to a man without a party, beginning with his political coming-of-age as a young émigré from the Soviet Union, enthralled with the National Review and the conservative intellectual tradition of Russell Kirk and F. A. Hayek.

Against this personal odyssey, Boot simultaneously traces the evolution of modern American conservatism, jump-started by Barry Goldwater’s canonical The Conscience of a Conservative, to the rise of Trumpism and its gradual corrosion of what was once the Republican Party.

While 90 percent of his fellow Republicans became political “toadies” in the aftermath of the 2016 election, Boot stood his ground, enduring the vitriol of his erstwhile conservative colleagues, trolled on Twitter by a white supremacist who depicted his “execution” in a gas chamber by a smiling, Nazi-clad Trump.

And yet, Boot nevertheless remains a villain to some partisan circles for his enduring commitment to conservative fiscal and national security principles.

It is from this isolated position, then, that Boot launches this bold declaration of dissent and its urgent plea for true, bipartisan cooperation.

With uncompromising insights, The Corrosion of Conservatism evokes both a president who has traduced every norm and the rise of a nascent centrist movement to counter Trump’s assault on democracy.

Sure, here's powerful evidence that Ford committed perjury.
Gosh, even her husband refused to risk perjury to support one of her key lies; that she needed a second door because of the trauma Kavanaugh inflicted on her.
I guess having a rental income was a huge therapeutic comfort to her.

Gatewaypundit?


Go ahead jackass.
Keep attacking this woman.
Try winning elections with only angry white men in your party.

Kavanaugh lied through his teeth about almost everything, and not just his yearbook.
He lied about his record in the Bush WH repeatedly, which is why they hid over 100,000 pages of documents.

But you ignore all of that while you screech about a **** front door.

But I would like to thank Georgie for helping put Kavanaugh on the court and with Republican turnout in November.

Why don't you just call him George 'The Jew' Soros jackass?
Invoking the name of Soros is an anti-Semitic slur.
But I guess that's not beneath you.

Women all over this country are opening up and telling the raw and emotional stories of sexual assault that they have kept secret for years, and you and the other Delorables are painting them as angry mobs who are puppets of George Soros.

Why I’m Leaving the Republican Party
By Tom Nichols (professor at the U.S. Naval War College)

The Kavanaugh confirmation fight revealed the GOP to be the party of situational ethics and moral relativism in the name of winning at all costs.

Unlike Senator Susan Collins, who took pages upon pages of text on national television to tell us something we already knew, I will cut right to the chase: I am out of the Republican Party.

I will also acknowledge right away what I assume will be the reaction of most of the remaining members of the GOP, ranging from “Good riddance” to “You were never a real Republican,” along with a smattering of “Who are you, anyway?”

Those Republicans will have a point. I am not a prominent Republican nor do I play a major role in Republican politics. What I write here are my views alone.

I joined the party in the twilight of Jimmy Carter’s administration, cut my teeth in politics as an aide to a working class, Catholic Democrat in the Massachusetts House, and later served for a year on the personal staff of a senior Republican U.S. senator. Not exactly the profile of a conservative warrior.

I even quit the party once before, briefly, during what I thought was the bottom for the GOP: the 2012 primaries. I didn’t want to be associated with a party that took Newt Gingrich seriously as presidential timber, or with people whose callousness managed to shock even Ron Paul.

It was an estrangement, not a break, and I came back when the danger of a Trump victory loomed. I was too late, but as a moderate conservative (among the few left), the pre-2016 GOP was the only party I could call home.

Small things sometimes matter, and Collins is among the smallest of things in the political world. And yet, she helped me finally to accept what I had been denying. Her speech on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh convinced me that the Republican Party now exists for one reason, and one reason only: for the exercise of raw political power, and not even for ends I would otherwise applaud or even support.

I have written on social media and elsewhere how I feel about Kavanaugh’s nomination. I initially viewed his nomination positively, as a standard GOP judicial appointment; then grew concerned about whether he should continue on as a nominee with the accusations against him; and finally, was appalled by his behavior in front of the Senate.

It was Collins, however, who made me realize that there would be no moderates to lead conservatives out of the rubble of the Trump era.

Senator Jeff Flake is retiring and took a pass, and with all due respect to Senator Lisa Murkowski—who at least admitted that her “no” vote on cloture meant “no” rather than drag out the drama—she will not be the focus of a rejuvenated party.

When Collins spoke, she took the floor of the Senate to calm an anxious and divided nation by giving us all an extended soliloquy on… the severability of a clause.

The severability of a clause? Seriously?

It took almost half an hour before Collins got to the accusations against Kavanaugh, but the rest of what she said was irrelevant. She had clearly made up her mind weeks earlier, and she completely ignored Kavanaugh’s volcanic and bizarre performance in front of the Senate.

As an aside, let me say that I have no love for the Democratic Party, which is torn between totalitarian instincts on one side and complete political malpractice on the other.

As a newly minted independent, I will vote for Democrats and Republicans I think are decent and well-meaning people; if I move back home to Massachusetts, I could cast a ballot for Republican Governor Charlie Baker and Democratic Representative Joe Kennedy and not think twice about it.

But during the Kavanaugh dumpster fire, the performance of the Democratic Party—with some honorable exceptions like Senators Chris Coons, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Amy Klobuchar—was execrable.

From the moment they leaked the Ford letter, they were a Keystone Cops operation, with Hawaii’s Senator Mazie Hirono willing to wave away the Constitution and get right to a presumption of guilt, and Senator Dianne Feinstein looking incompetent and outflanked instead of like the ranking member of one of the most important committees in America.

The Republicans, however, have now eclipsed the Democrats as a threat to the rule of law and to the constitutional norms of American society.

They have become all about winning. Winning means not losing, and so instead of acting like a co-equal branch of government responsible for advice and consent, congressional Republicans now act like a parliamentary party facing the constant threat of a vote of no-confidence.

That it is necessary to place limitations, including self-limitations, on the exercise of power is—or was—a core belief among conservatives. No longer. Raw power, wielded so deftly by Senator Mitch McConnell, is exercised for its own sake, and by that I mean for the sake of fleecing gullible voters on hot-button social issues so that Republicans may stay in power.

Of course, the institutional GOP will say that it countenances all of Trump’s many sins, and its own straying from principle, for good reason (including, of course, the holy grail of ending legal abortion).

Politics is about the exercise of power. But the new Trumpist GOP is not exercising power in the pursuit of anything resembling principle, and certainly not for conservative or Republican principles.

Free trade? Republicans are suddenly in love with tariffs, and now sound like bad imitations of early 1980s protectionist Democrats.

A robust foreign policy? Not only have Republicans abandoned their claim to being the national-security party, they have managed to convince the party faithful that Russia—an avowed enemy that directly attacked our political institutions—is less of a threat than their neighbors who might be voting for Democrats.

Respect for law enforcement? The GOP is backing Trump in attacks on the FBI and the entire intelligence community as Special Counsel Robert Mueller closes in on the web of lies, financial arrangements, and Russian entanglements known collectively as the Trump campaign.

And most important, on the rule of law, congressional Republicans have utterly collapsed. They have sold their souls, purely at Trump’s behest, living in fear of the dreaded primary challenges that would take them away from the Forbidden City and send them back home to the provinces.

Yes, an anti-constitutional senator like Hirono is unnerving, but she’s a piker next to her Republican colleagues, who have completely reversed themselves on everything from the limits of executive power to the independence of the judiciary, all to serve their leader in a way that would make the most devoted cult follower of Kim Jong Un blush.

Maybe it’s me. I’m not a Republican anymore, but am I still a conservative?

Limited government: check. Strong national defense: check. Respect for tradition and deep distrust of sudden, dramatic change: check.

Belief that people spend their money more wisely than government? That America is an exceptional nation with a global mission? That we are, in fact, a shining city on a hill and an example to others?

Check, check, check.

But I can’t deny that I’ve strayed from the party. I believe abortion should remain legal. I am against the death penalty in all its forms outside of killing in war. I don’t think what’s good for massive corporations is always good for America.

In foreign affairs, I am an institutionalist, a supporter of working through international bodies and agreements. I think our defense budget is too big, too centered on expensive toys, and that we are still too entranced by nuclear weapons.

I believe in the importance of diversity and toleration. I would like a shorter tax code. I would also like people to exhibit some public decorum and keep their shoes on in public.

Does this make me a liberal? No. I do not believe that human nature is malleable clay to be reshaped by wise government policy. Many of my views, which flow from that basic conservative idea, are not welcome in a Democratic tribe in the grip of the madness of identity politics.

But whatever my concerns about liberals, the true authoritarian muscle is now being flexed by the GOP, in a kind of buzzy, steroidal McCarthyism that lacks even anti-communism as a central organizing principle.

The Republican Party, which controls all three branches of government and yet is addicted to whining about its own victimhood, is now the party of situational ethics and moral relativism in the name of winning at all costs.

So, I’m out. The Trumpers and the hucksters and the consultants and the hangers-on, like a colony of bees who exist only to sting and die, have swarmed together in a dangerous but suicidal cloud, and when that mindless hive finally extinguishes itself in a blaze of venom, there will be nothing left.

I’m a divorced man who is remarried. But love, in some ways, is easier than politics.

I spent nearly 40 years as a Republican, a relationship that began when I joined a revitalized GOP that saw itself not as a victim, but as the vehicle for lifting America out of the wreckage of the 1970s, defeating the Soviet Union, and extending human freedom at home and abroad.

I stayed during the turbulence of the Tea Party tomfoolery. I moved out briefly during the abusive 2012 primaries. But now I’m filing for divorce, and I am taking nothing with me when I go.

You whine about a front door while you continue to ignore the myriad of times that Kavanaugh lied under oath even going back to his 2006 confirmation hearing on his appointment to the DC Circuit court.

I hope that Grassley tries to bring Ford up on perjury charges over a front door.
That will be the last nail in the coffin for your party when it comes to ever winning the women's vote again.
