What are we doing?
Honestly, what are we doing now? By all accounts, the guy has lived his life like Sir Galahad. Some far-left extremist says he felt her up in high school 35 years ago at a place she can't name with people she can't name at a time she can't name and we paused for more than 10 minutes to consider her accusations? It should have delayed things only long enough to stop laughing.
Double standards
Meanwhile, Keith Ellison, head of the DNC, has been accused of domestic violence with witnesses, medical reports and more. Crickets from the media while we all run around debating whether Kavanaugh groped a girl in high school. And the MSM cry about Trump constantly saying "Fake news?" Bite me.
The worst part
Imagine you're a young man watching all of this unfold. What is the lesson you learn from it? Avoid women. They offer nothing of value. From women, men want:
- Respect
- Admiration
- A physical relationship
What do we have?
- A US senator telling men to shut up because everything is their fault.
- Academia telling us that men are horrible, there's a rape culture and men are to blame, masculinity is toxic and on and on.
- Porn.

Well, it probably won't make you feel any better, but for what it's worth:
ReplyDeleteThere have been 37 unsuccessful supreme court nominations in the history of the US, and from the looks of things most of them failed for raw political reasons having nothing to do with their qualifications as a judge.
There have only been 113 justices total, so out of 150 total nominations, we are looking at almost exactly a 25% failure rate. Not just recently either, the failed nominations go all the way back to George Washington. And a lot of the ones that succeeded apparently had a pretty rocky time of it. While Kavanaugh is getting a hard time, he is hardly unique in this. Heck, Douglass Ginsberg (one of Reagan's attempted nominees) ended up dropping out because he'd smoked pot in college. It's hard to get much more petty than that.
I wasn't too bothered when Merrick Garland's never got a hearing and so never got on the court. That's just the way it goes when you try to get a very powerful position with lifetime tenure and practically no oversight, and other people don't want you to have it. I don't see that Kavanaugh is getting unusually put-upon either, considering the position he is after and the number of political opponents he has. I'd be way more concerned if the President could just bung in whichever judge he wanted with no argument.
