Oh, someone left a “vulgar” phone message for Sen. Collins contra Kavanaugh.

Interesting that her staff is refusing to record the anti-Kavanaugh calls, and yet that one got through.

Why do Dems allow themselves to be bamboozled by GOP bluff and propaganda?

This whole idea of massive electoral repercussions for any red-state Dem senator should he or she reject Kavanaugh is-bullshit.

Kavanaugh is NOT popular across the country, and the more the red-state Dems expose his record the less popular he will be.

That’s why he’s now insisting on ending all federal funding for libraries.

Under de Blasio, the Landmarks Preservation Commission has become an agency that thwarts more than fosters landmark preservation. Its complicity is one of the most shameful aspects of the Tech Hub scam. Only the hubris of then-Chair Scrinivasan (hubristic because she had the full backing of the Mayor) could have come up with something as outlandish as her insistence that LPC would only consider for designation SEVEN! buildings in the Tech Hub environs.

Now, with Scrinivasan out, and with a thicket of lawsuits past, present and future impeding LPC’s self-disablement, things may be different.

In any case, the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation is now submitting a proposal for landmark district designation for this amazingly historic, elegant, and largely low-rise area between 14th St. and Astor Place, soon to be leveled unless landmark protection is given.

Her staff won’t write down telephone messages from constituents opposing Kavanaugh, thus enabling this slippery, slimy hypocrite to claim that she isn’t hearing from them.

Their attempt to claim that America is above the law and attack the International Criminal Court parallels Trump’s campaign to put himself beyond the reach of U.S. justice.

Ed Weathers in the Memphis Flyer [thanks for heads-up, Raw Story] encapsulates how Trump and the equally parasitic super-rich surrounding him are bleeding the country dry, while trying to pin the blame and flip the script onto the allegedly undeserving super-poor.

The Democratic Coalition is filing a criminal complaint against Kavanaugh’s perjury with the Department of Justice and the D.C. Circuit Court.

Not pro-brought-to-term American life.

Props to Parkland survivor Aliyah Eastmond for calling out Kavanaugh on his cold-blooded aversion to any gun regulations.

Kavanaugh and his ilk never want to confront the human toll of the policies they promote.

After Kavanaugh’s unmasking this week, Sens. Collins and Murkowski have lost any crutch of plausible deniability–they know exactly how virulently anti-contraception as well as abortion he is. Their coy games are over. Shit is getting real and it’s crunch time for their reported Strong-Advocate-For-Women bona fides.
