I know there is a lot of important news to cover, but while the

[Atticus]

Manafort trial and Don Jr. occupy us 24/7, Brett Kavanaugh, the most ideologically extreme nominee since Bork, moves steadily, inexorably, QUIETLY toward his bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS lifetime seat. The occupant of the Kremlin Annex at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is all smiles.

This could be the ball game, folks. But, hey---ostrich jackets and Trump's tweets are more worthy of our attention, I guess.

1. The obligatory note that DU'ers can walk and chew gum at the same time

DU’ers are good jugglers too, can keep several balls in the air at the same time. And still have time to post music in the lounge!

2. I'm sure you're right. So, where are all the indignant call to action posts and

what ARE we doing about Herr Kavanaugh?

3. Well, as long as there's someone who tells what not to waste my time on...

and follows that up trivializing my legitimate concerns with righteous calls for what I should be legitimately be wasting my time on...

I guess, part II.

5. Yeah , that's what my post was all about. Good Grief, Charlie Brown! nt

4. Let's do something positive.. Perhaps you could contact Skinner to ask for permission to organize

an official campaign--a challenge so-to-speak where each of us who posts a willingness to participate agrees to call both of our Senators and at least two of the so-called fence-sitters (e.g., Manchin, Heidi Heidkamp, Joe Donnelly, Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and any others you think worthwhile) EVERY week day. Have a new thread each day that encourages all who've volunteered to check in with the names who they called (and new DUers to add their name to volunteer)

Maybe you don't need permission, but it would be nice if admins would bless an activist DU response.

6. I am really, really tired of people posting about how terrible the rest of us here are.

If you want people to talk more about the Kavanaugh appointment, why not post OPs about what is happening with the Kavanaugh appointment?

Instead, you choose to shake your finger at us and complain that we are not paying enough attention to the Kavanaugh appointment.

[Atticus]

7. You know what? You're right. I am totally wasting my time here. nt

[Squinch]

8. Because we didn't all put our tails between our legs and apologize abjectly after we read your OP?
