by NoahWith all the commenting on Brett Kavanaugh and his lowlife character issues, let's not forget another major line in this sordid episode of American history. Let's not lose sight of what the Kavanaugh nomination to the Supreme Court has rawly exposed, and that is that, to the Republican mind, sexual assault is not wrong in any way, shape or form. They don't get why anyone would be upset about it. They are mystified that the actions Kavanaugh has been accused of could elicit such condemnation. They literally applauded Kavanaugh after his hearing. This is who they are, not just who Kavanaugh is. And, it's not just them, it is also the voters who looked them over and voted for them.Over the last few days, I have seen a lot of misplaced praise for Sen. Jeff Flake, the fake tan model from Arizona. A lot of people have mistakenly said that his decision to call for a delay in one of the most disgusting circuses in Washington's history means that he has empathy for women. They point to the infamous elevator scene of him being confronted by two survivors as evidence of this. I don't see it. Instead, upon further review of the film, I see a sociopathic asshole frantically pushing the elevator buttons in an effort to close the door in the faces of the women confronting him and telling exactly what he is doing with his vote to confirm Kavanaugh. While were at it, what the hell is wrong with his two flaks who are attempting to ride away along with him. The are women, but, as we can see in the film, they are Republicans first. I don't know their names or I would name them but you can see that the blonde one, especially, just wants to get away from the two survivors and what they represent. Would it surprise you if she and her cohort wear "I Really Don't Care, Do You?" jackets to work every day? What Flake did was only a cynical ploy to make it appear that some sort of fairness and justice would be accomplished. One can only hope that it backfires in his face and the faces of his party of psychotics. I'm not holding my breath.It is Senator Lindsey Graham of the old Confederacy that really takes the prize though, more than any of the Republican miscreants on the Senate Judiciary Committee; more than Orrin Hatch who oozes the most vile sexism from every pore; more than Judiciary Chaircretin Chuck Grasshole, more than any of them. He has played this whole thing like it's an audition to replace Jeff Sessions as AG, and it no doubt is. He's even gone all Trump with his threats to his Democratic colleagues on the committee and in the Senate as a whole. He has ignored the mysteries of Kavanaugh's finances depicted in tonight's meme. But, my favorite Graham moment is neither of those. It is the moment where he says that the treatment of the Justice Of His Dreams is unprecedented and unethical. Really? Fuck you, you pathetic mentally diseased little weasel. At least your guy got a hearing. You wanna talk unethical? You wanna talk lack of respect? Did you give Merrick Garland a hearing at all? Fuck you! Lindsey Graham, you are the embodiment of the lowest and most hypocritical that Washington offers the American public. You are a perfect example of why Americans have such an incredibly low opinion of congress. South Carolinians should walk in shame for the rest of their lives.
