What you have here is a remarkable moment in American history, and it guarantees that this election this fall, is not going to be about President Trump. This election is about what kind of America do we want to become. Do we really want to become an America where left-wing values are imposed by force, by smears. Do we want to become an America where our borders are open, Fentanyl and opioids can flood in killing even more Americans? Do we want to become an America where there are sanctuary cities for groups like MS-13? A gang which tortures people with knives. Go down the list.RealClearPolitics
Or do we want to be a results-oriented America, which is what President Trump is delivering? Even today, in the middle of the character assassination of Kavanaugh, we saw the president successfully deliver a trade negotiation with Canada and Mexico....

If you're looking for something to subscribe to that really offers real value for money, I urge you to consider subscribing to Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo for the insights he provides in his column. They truly are invaluable.
In his latest, he writes at length about the Kavanaugh process detailing how Mitch McConnell admitted that they thought they were in real trouble after Christine Blasey Ford's testimony and the evidence showing McGahn and Kavanaugh decided to go full Trump as a defense in response to it. And he observes that it worked. Bullying Trumpism is a winner.…
It is vital to take the House in 2018 and there's a good chance the Democrats will do that. That spells the end of the Trump Party's legislative agenda and finally marks the beginning of some constitutionally mandated congressional oversight of this criminal in the White House....
This rightward turn is global and it's terrifying. But the US is still the most powerful country in the world and can be an inspiration in righting our own ship and holding back the tide. At the very least we should be able to save ourselves.Seeing fascism?

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her, cannot move back to her home due to the volume of death threats she is still receiving, her lawyers told NBC on Sunday.Catch the "deplorable."
One of Ford's attorneys, Debra Katz, told NBC's Kasie Hunt that it's going to be "quite some time" before Ford and her family can return home.
"Her family has been through a lot," Katz said. "They are not living at home. It’s going to be quite some time before they’re able to live at home. The threats have been unending. It’s deplorable."

Trump says Democrats are too “dangerous and extreme to govern.”
Likewise Democrats say that Trump is too dangerous and extreme. Trump is too racist, sexist, fascist, xenophobic, and homophobic to govern. Plus he is a Russian agent!
“Trump suggested to followers that it was ‘very scary’ for young men, who — in the president's view — could be charged with sexual assault at any time by anyone.”
Correct. Asking for proof, evidence, clear details, or corroborating witnesses is “sexist.”
“Although many on Capitol Hill noted that Kavanaugh was not on trial but merely applying for a job, Trump nonetheless kept the fires of anger burning for his constituency.”
Likewise Democrats kept the fires of anger burning for identity politics.
Hypocrisy on all sides.
Meanwhile oligarchs laugh at the bickering peasants far below.
What exactly is Trump's argument that male Supreme Court judges have the right to rule on a woman's right to choose in regard to the availability of abortion services? I've yet to read it!
Good question. I'm always attacking man-bashing feminists, but at the same time, I myself am 100% pro-choice. That is, I support women until they start trying to castrate all men.
I don't like Kavanaugh because he's a neoliberal. And if he is anti-choice, then I don't like that either. In fact, I consider anti-choice people to be insane. But this attack on Kavanaugh seems to me to be part of the general war on men, which I do not approve of.
Madness on all sides.
Men and women are yin and yang. We are two sides of the same coin. We cannot survive without each other. Therefore the war on men will ultimately hurt women. In fact it already is.
And the oligarchs laugh at our folly.
"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." ~H. L. Mencken
...that day has arrived..
~One in five women will be raped at some point in their lives.
In the U.S., one in three women experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime.
~91% of victims of rape and sexual assault are female, and nine percent are male.
~One in four girls will be sexually abused before they turn 18 years old.
~20% - 25% of college women are victims of forced sex during their time in college.
~A 2002 study revealed that 63.3% of men at one university who self-reported acts qualifying as rape or attempted rape admitted to committing repeat rapes
~Less than 1% of rapes lead to felony convictions. At least 89% of victims face emotional and physical consequences.
Gee, Konrad, a 'war on men'??
Konrad
Its just a war on asshole men, not all men. I do not feel attacked at all.
This election is going to be about the same thing elections have been about for as long as I can remember - money, lies, pandering, propaganda, and the fight to maintain power for personal benefit.
Remember hope and change? I have a bit of loose change but I don't have any hope. OCCUPY was occupied by NYPD, FBI, CIA. The only way this is going to change is by blowing up. The more radically they divide us and turn us against each other - and them - the closer we get to civil war. Voting isn't going to stop that.
As for being 'a "white knight" loser male'...lol. I'm a fat old man in his so-called 'Golden Years' and The Dick don't drive me the way is used, so 'getting laid' ain't up there on my agenda.
RE Feminism, I'm really more of a Black Knight, as I advocate the following:
"The issue at hand is the survival of the species at more than a merely survival level.
So far, no one has presented a solution that will not be undermined by insistent masculine egotism. Think that through. Conceive of your paradigm and then place it into the world. What is the first obstacle that it encounters? Someones political, economic, and/or theological interest. Examine the fundamentals of that opposing interest. If you are really honest, you'll find threatened masculine ego, individually and collectively.
The Male must End. Conscious True Men who are secure in their own masculinity will understand this harsh necessity and step forward to save the goodness in the civilization that we have built. Some Beta Males will be 'taken in hand' by my Sisters and learn to work with their more enlightened Brothers.
Of course, most men will fight, but that is what men do. I keep telling my Sisters over and over again that there is no peaceful coexistence with men, not even upon their own terms. Yes, there are times of truce and yes, some of my Sisters have established peaceful, even loving relationships, with some of my Brothers.
But as one group with another, overall, this is not possible. Men are unable to even live in peaceful coexistence with their own Brothers, much less achieve such a state with beings that they are compelled as a group to consider inferior to them as a group.
My Sisters, you can have the peace of the slave or the peace of the grave, but, believe me when I tell you that the vast majority of my Brothers will never, ever, allow you to have the peace of the autonomous being. The only way you will ever have that is when all of my Brothers are gone."

And before y'all dismiss that, might have a look at what Nicola Tesla wrote on the subject back in 1926; When Woman is Boss
Mr. Tesla regards the emergence of woman as one of the most profound portents for the future.
"It is clear to any trained observer," he says, "and even to the sociologically untrained, that a new attitude toward sex discrimination has come over the world through the centuries, receiving an abrupt stimulus just before and after the World War.
"This struggle of the human female toward sex equality will end in a new sex order, with the female as superior. The modern woman, who anticipates in merely superficial phenomena the advancement of her sex, is but a surface symptom of something deeper and more potent fermenting in the bosom of the race.
"It is not in the shallow physical imitation of men that women will assert first their equality and later their superiority, but in the awakening of the intellect of women.
"Through countless generations, from the very beginning, the social subservience of women resulted naturally in the partial atrophy or at least the hereditary suspension of mental qualities which we now know the female sex to be endowed with no less than men.
