the Defenders

Bad Help1

I would be quite surprised if Brett Kavanaugh isn’t confirmed for the Supreme Court.  This whole situation smells an awful lot like the Anita Hill incident which didn’t stop Clarence Thomas from getting confirmed, and the fact is that the Republicans really want their agenda represented in the highest court in the land.  I just don’t see how it won’t happen.  THAT said, he certainly doesn’t have a lot of great people helping his case.  Roy Moore, ex-Senate candidate and accused sex offender and pedophile, is trying to make his voice heard on what he is declaring a liberal smear job.  The fact is, NO ONE would want Roy Moore defending them against sexual assault allegations.  He is in the unfortunate position of having basically no one believe he’s innocent of what he’s being accused of.  Only adding to Kavanaugh’s problematic defenders were a panel of Conservative women out of Florida.  They were interviewed by CNN, and their argument wasn’t “Kavanaugh is innocent”, but it was more of a “What guy hasn’t done this kind of thing when they were that age?” And to that I would say…most? No one I hang around with has, to my knowledge, ever attempted to sexually assault anyone.   And if they did, it wouldn’t be an “aw shucks, boys will be boys” moment.  It would be a friendship ender.  So yeah…Kavanaugh will get confirmed despite there being no good reason he should be.  Politics in America.

Roy Moore Needs Your Money

Roy Moore Wants Money1

So, Roy Moore asking we, the people, to foot his legal fees, because as it turns out, the people coming after him for sexual assault have a pretty freaking good case against him.  So he’s out on the warpath blaming gays, trans, sodomists, abortionists and liberals for his current legal predicament.  He’s out to raise a whopping $250,000 so he can mount his defense.  Sadly, I think it’s entirely possible he’ll bilk people out of that money, but I sure hope a lot of them only contribute their thoughts and prayers…

Voter Fraud

Voter Fraud1

I find it funny how quick the Roy Moore crowd is to jump to “voter fraud”.  Alabama has historically had some of the strictest voting laws in the whole country.  Keeping people who aren’t rich, white and/or Christian from the voting booth is practically a sport there.
