Regarding the protests ongoing at this moment on the Capitol steps
In response to:
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Well you've lost all the things
That sharing could bring
Thought you were doing right
But violence and flames
And torches and chains
Are fueling
These new northern lights
Like prisoners working
On infertile land
Took eight years
To find out the score
If you're sick then you're lonely
Out of work then you're hungry
The sentence is four years more
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Right up, right up
Who says poverty and race
Can be kept in their place
By keeping it
All underground
And ruling the country
Are unfaithful husbands
Who spank little boys
Gagged and bound
There's got to be a better way
For you and for me
To turn this hypocrisy round
The growth of a nation
Cannot be achieved
By keeping
The downtrodden down
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Right up, right up

It's quite clear, that the GOP agenda is much more important to Republicans than what the majority of people want.
It didn't start with the election of the most unqualified US president in history.
It started with the Tea Party within the Republican party,
a band of obstructionists, who would do anything to halt progress.
Indeed, they pledged to do just that.
But, with the help of Putin, Trump was elected and Republicanswe re so happy that a person
representing the Republican party, got in power, that they turned a blind eye to things they would have
passionately objected to only 2 years earlier.
We are now at a point, that the Republican 'representatives' no longer care about what is the right thing
to do. Instead, most have replaced integrity with what can we get away with, and the public has
been outraged at many things that have taken place in the past 2 years.
These include tax cuts for the rich, jailing young children of refugees away from their parents,
obnoxious Tweets, alienating allies, coddling dictators, allowing more pollution, allowing mining & drilling in National Parks, destruction of net neutrality, attempts to take away health benefits, and other things deleterious to a large part of the population.
The result is that this country is more divided than it has been in decades.
The Kavanaugh confirmation may be the tipping point.
Will the confirmation of an accused s*xual predator to the Supreme Court be the tipping point
to finally motivate voters to select better representation ?
The majority of people in the USA are female. However, Trump lost the popular vote in 2016
and still got elected due to an antiquated electoral college.
Yet, Congressmen don't get an electoral college to vote as they please.
They are elected by the popular vote.
So, will the public make their voices heard, when & where it will do the most good ?
Will this be the end of the Republican majority in Congress ?
I guess we will find out in early November.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, wobbles like a duck,.....Oh you know the rest.
the feeble minded to convince them, that this is what is best for the poorer ones too. So, they blindly follow the leaders of the Republican party to vote loyally within the party, despite the horrible things the leaders do. It becomes like a cult. That is why logic and evidence makes no difference to them. The leaders manufacture handy excuses which they have been brain washed to regurgitate, like "fake news" or that "it's better than the Clintons".
It baffles me also, that some who appear to have common sense and world knowledge, allow themselves to get swept up in the lies and propaganda, and then accuse those who point out the actual reality and maybe some questions need to be asked, of being ignorant and libtards
I know sometimes I play the "devils advocate", but only to try and get some to look at what they are posting and maybe they need to start to question.
I teach my students that the most important word in the Oxford Dictionary is
WHY
Now the Democrats can get back to looking for Russian collusion under every rock they can turn over.

After a contentious hearing with testimony from both Kavanaugh and Ford, the FBI launched a limited investigation into the allegation without interviewing either Kavanaugh or Ford.
Ford’s lawyers on Friday denounced the Senate and the FBI probe, calling the inquiry “not a meaningful investigation in any sense of the word.
The other side wins. and by other side I mean the same side waving a different colour flag.
Republocrats always win.
There is no swamp being drained. Its just being fitted with new smoke and mirrors.
Here's a much more recent interview of Michael Moore of what he really thinks;
You may stop fatiguing me now.
Heartily agree with Mike's assertion in the Maher interview that Dems should dump their superdelegate system.
Along with the clip lifted from Mike's 'Trumpland' and Hildy's 'Deplorable' gaff
Prior to 11/9, I saw a lib-style subcompact hatchback with a Bernie bumper sticker - and two Jill Stein yard signs in the side windows. It spoke volumes.
Dems would better serve their purpose by addressing problems (optics & otherwise) that cost them elections than using confirmation delaying tactics & Federal Prison as a dungeon trying to undo elections they've already lost.
Failing to do so will cost them future elections.
IMO
'Your results may vary'; I'm certain they do.
A THOROUGH investigation of Kavanaugh is warranted.
A continuation of the very fruitful Mueller investigations is warranted.
Failing to do so will cost them future elections.
IMO
"'Your results may vary'; I'm certain they do."
We must agree to disagree
I don't care as much as you do as to the success of any political party.
I am more loyal to the truth, justice, and what is good for the majority.
In general I don't fully trust politicians.
As far as your last line, we either agree, or disagree. Make up your mind.
This being a 'Politics' blog must've confused me. My bad.
ripenfesterI am for legitimate investigations when warranted.
I am not for wasting lots of our taxpayer's money on ridiculousness.

This video is very helpful in understanding the world in which Blasey Ford lives.
Thank you so much Miquell this indeed video tells a lot about "Dr." Ford
Regardless, he was one of the few who predicted a Trump presidency.
