AND ANOTHER....

     Say what you will, this administration is consistent. It is consistent in the lies it puts forth, in its egotism, in its remarkable incompetence, and in Trump's remarkable consistency in the worst picks ever to serve in his term of office.
     Name after name in his Cabinet or in other offices, including several Republicans in the Congress (and yes, Democrats too), are followed by their abuses of power and office. Money ill used, funds used for personal purposes, campaign funds misused, sexual advances and worse, and even simply poor or incompetent choices, and all remarkable for their harm to the people of the country.
     But the worst thing that Trump has done, and crows about, is the harm he is doing to the country for decades and decades to follow. Not just during the lifetime of these Justices, but in the years to follow as bad law will have to be fought through the courts even as the ignorant and backward thinking judges sit on the bench, from the lowest court to the highest.
     It is remarkable consistency in place as we see the Republicans ignore all the warning signs of a bad choice. All that matters to them is abiding by Trump's choice, ignoring the misdeeds or bad opinions, or lies and just getting him through. They use the same type of nasty techniques as they did with their rude treatment of Garland, who was a pretty good choice for Supreme Court and now push their bad choices through in  a rush.
     Finally, though, there might be a way out to avoid yet another creep on the bench. This is a guy who refuses to answer questions about key issues, who denies with his lying tongue that he has preconceived ideas about these issues, calls all questions about these issues as "hypothetical" and refuses to answer. Really? What nonsense. What dangerous nonsense.
      But here is the kicker, the coda to this atonal and dissonant concert. We already have one pervert on the bench, a backward thinking alleged sexual predator who never speaks up and is consistent with his harmful decisions. That is Clarence Thomas who should never have been appointed and yet the males of the Congress passed him through even as Anita Hill underwent terrible times during questioning. Now, she is believed. Now, she is vindicated, but he is still there and why he has not been removed or forced to resign is one of the several wonders of the world!!
     But what is worse is the attempt to foist yet another one on the people of this country. Not only is Kavanaugh backwards in his thinking, dangerous to the rights of women and others, but it turns out he is a alleged sexual predator as well, with the woman coming out into the open about it in an attempt to stop this train wreck from happening. Time after time it has been revealed how many documents that pointed out the problems with Kavanaugh were kept out of the hands of the Democrats as the Republicans rushed through to confirmation vote but suddenly we have a roadblock in place.
     Finally, the Democrats and several Republicans who have the courage of their convictions and please note how few they are, are demanding that hearings be opened again and questions asked and answers demanded. They want to hear the woman, an established professor and researcher, tell of the incident. The case or situation of yet another one, another mistake, another pervert, another misguided individual, another unqualified person, taking office during this administration must be stopped. Enough already, and this guy from FEMA who defends Trump re Puerto Rico now decides that post hurricane deaths like falling off ladders or drowning or spousal abuses or whatever, are truly not important statistically. What is with these people and what the hell is spousal abuse coming from? Is that yet another excuse for people to use in court. "Yes, Your Honor, I beat the crap out of my wife, but then again, it is under the stress of post hurricane syndrome so please excuse me." Is this dude for real or is this just another example of weird thinking by Trump's people and this is the one we now have to hope knows what to do and does it in this terrible time post Hurricane Florence and the aftermath.
     And another....and another.....and another.....until we, the people, are screwed royal and beyond repair. Please, please, get out there and vote in any primaries and then in November. Get the weaklings, the lackluster Republicans out of office and demand that the Democrats hold to moral standards and help the people rather than themselves. We must hold all politicians' feet to the flames if that is what it takes to remind all of them that they serve the people and not themselves! Rough times ahead. Tough times ahead. But we can do it if we really try. We must.
