Republicans lost the argument, but they ultimately had the votes.

Forty-nine Senate Republicans and one Democrat just confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the United State Supreme Court. No allegations, no protesters, no public opinion poll showing Brett Kavanaugh is the most unpopular person to be elevated to the nation’s highest court in recent history was going to stop them.

This is the governing ideology of the Republican Party: We don’t care what anybody else thinks. We have the power. We have the will. We have the votes. We’ll do what we want.

But that was typical of the GOP’s argument. Whatever rhetorical contortions were necessary, whatever procedural formalities must be endured, whatever must be done to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court would be done.

(Dr. Ford) “I was … wondering whether I would just be jumping in front of a train that was headed to where it was headed anyway,” she told the Senate Judiciary Committee, “and that I would just be personally annihilated.”

She was right: The destination was already set.

rich.

2. Not entirely true. They get off on our protests.

They enjoy "drinking liberal tears"

3. Thanks. So often I hear cries for explaining Trump. He doesn't care - about anything but himself.

I don't even think he cares about his family. He is all about money and privilege. No conscience at all. None. End of story.
And while we rail about what Trump is thinking, his minions at cabinet level are destroying the country. And we don't seem to be paying attention to that. McConnell and Trump work together to form their own perfect union.

Newspaper front pages should be messaging the packing of the federal judiciary, the latest lowering of FDA regs, the day-to-day changes at EPA, the $25m already distributed of the $14B that is to come, every department is under attack. If people are to be informed, newspapers and news sites must message real information that matters. If one makes the info personal, how the narrative affects real people, people would listen and learn.

Corporate everything. Americans learn nothing.
