Hold your fire! Tribalism is why we are in this mess in the first place.

Flake, Collins, Manchin deserve a trial first, sentence later, the jury is still out, but in the meantime can we all please get along with them and shower them with reason only?

These three also seem amenable to that...and resistant to the "vast left wing Soros-led conspiracy" the GOP has landed on (supported by sworn testimony by their nominee that he believes it too!) for final defence of the unqualified by any measure nominee?

Of course did not see that coming...but then again the original defence was to smear Dr. Ford as I recall and essentially the defence of Kavanaugh has come full circle and now is smearing three women! With a conspiracy theory thrown in as a bonus for the mouth breathers of the dwindling base.

I am not making that up! Smear plus conspiracy. That is their final defence! How long until "Pizzagate was real" is pulled out of the Mad Hatter's collection?

And shower Murkowski with praise and respect only...just this once?

Because I think there are three Senators intently watching how we react to Murkowski.

I love you unconditionally Senator Murkowski from the great State of Alaska where you listened to the voice of women and not the conspiracy theories and smears.

You too can get this treat from the vast left wing conspiracy to ❤️ 💝 ❤️ you forever! Flake, Collins and Manchin.

I mean really, have you seen what is happening to the other side? They are nuts, and this promise is in writing!

Shouldn't our reaction to Manchin depend on whether or not it causes confirmation? nt LAS14 Oct 2018 #3
That is a future reaction...all I am saying is how should our reaction be now as these Fred Sanders Oct 2018 #4

If Manchin's final vote is a yes to Kavanaugh, I'm gonna pay to see Heidi kick him in the family jewels.

Kavanaugh is dividing the nation and a nominally non partisan federal court system along partisan political lines and the GOP is literally telling the country they know that and do not give a fuck.

three mull over their Final votes and political strategy...and absorb the just read it yesterday 49 page FBI report, including second accuser sworn statement of Deborah Ramirez that potentially verifies Dr. Ford sworn testimony.

If we only have faint praise and more criticism of Murkowski what good does that do us?

Lot of wheels turning, too many too detail on social media to everyone's satisfaction.

The Three are watching our reaction to her heroism and the consequences to her...the Trump cult will be out in full force on her...we should help her this time and not the cult.

Thanks for reading!
