I never would have thought that Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins would become my two favorite Senators.

Ugh.

So you must have enjoyed Lindsey's performance last week? I hear he'll be cast as Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. He loves drama!

Enjoyed is an understatement.

Ha! They did that years ago. What an embarrassment they will be in the history books. Like the confederates of the 19th century.

But I think I’m going to start teaching that what really matters is always winning and always being right. Be the best, best everyone else, you’re always right and never wrong. Hold her down, she doesn’t matter, forget it ever happened, grow up and compete and be better than everyone, so you alone can win. I mean, right?

No please don’t do that. There are enough of the latter in our world. I always taught my DS, as you do. He is a teen and incredibly kind, compassionate and a gentleman. He followed this hearing and finally Collins explanation. Like me, he feels numb & indifferent. He feels there is validity from sides. I now need to help guide him on being less impressionable in this culture, to do the work, understand the facts, listen to all sides and most importantly to his heart.

Who are the male role models for teen boys and young men if it isn't the President of the United States and the men who sit on the highest court in the land?

There are plenty of wonderful role models for teen boys and young men. My DH, for example. For starters, he's never sexually assaulted anyone. DH doesn't drink or use drugs, he's a mature, responsible, civic-minded human being and he's a great role model for my boys and for other boys in our community. My DH thinks Dumpus and Kavanaugh are despicable, and no one should look up to them.

My point was how disappointing it is that a president or justice can no longer be counted on to be role models. That is sad for our country and ironic for our boys: do not act in any way like the President of the United States.

Yes, I agree that it is depressing as all get out that I would (and have) tell my boys not to be at all like the president, that he only got where he is by breaking laws, by betraying his country. I’m the one who posted the link to the video of the men protesting Kavanaugh. I showed my boys that, too.

Do your boys talk back when you say no to them? Because if they do, they haven't been taught that "no means no".

That is not an analogous situation! Of course children say no to their parents! They are children!

But "no means no" refers to sexual consent. And my boys have been taught that no means no. They also know not to binge drink, and they were raised to be compassionate human beings. They are Democrats.

No, if you haven't taught your children to respect YOU and what YOU tell them, why should they respect some girl?

Some of you need to take your head out of your you-know-what.

Please STOP creating more ENTITLED boys!!!! -SP

The chess move of using (yes, using) a woman is tactical but shameful all the same. I hope you are voted out.

Well said.

Collins will be voted out. Do you think the yahoos in Kentucky will vote McConnell out? They must be dumber than sh*t for voting for him in the first place. He's taking away their health care, keeping their wages low, wants to keep the poor from getting food stamps -- and these people are his constituents!!

That said, it was a BRILLIANT move of McConnell to use Collins for cover. Brilliant. He did not get where he is for nothing.

I am not sure Collins will be voted out. Maine is an independent, frugal place. I wonder if Collins’ eventual opponent will be perceived as beholden to outside money, and that the money is being wasted. The caretaker at my parents’ Summer house thinks Collins is fabulous. Her wife, a cheese maker, thinks the same. She is the only republican they say they vote for.

They won't be voting for Collins after tomorrow. The women of Maine are not that stupid. And they've been sexually abused by loads of men in their long lives. When they get into the voting booth, they will vote Collins out of office for her yes on Kavanaugh. Her vote is inexcusable to women.

Collins has been consistently voted into office by Democrats that have crossed lines to
Vote specifically for HER because they thought she had their interests at heart. The Maine paper came out against Kavanaugh. She doesn’t have her constituents best interests at heart. She has McConnell’s. It’s very likely they’ll run a Trump Republican against her anyway in the primary.

Her career is over.

No surprise, but there was hope. I had hoped Collins would see the light and side with women who see Kavanaugh as a symbol of the many men who abuse women with no consequences. If Collins were empathetic to women, as Murkowski is, apparently, she would vote no. But she voted against all the women who have been abused by men, and she will pay in the next election. She never intended to run again, so Collins doesn't care that she betrayed women. Shame on her.

No intelligent woman would support the GOP. They aren’t the party of fiscal responsibility anymore. They the party of Nationalism, which is really just a polite way to say racism, bigotry, and misogyny. The women in the GOP aren’t thinking for themselves.

Lisa Blatt's Kavanaugh Endorsement Earns a Susan Collins Shout-Out in 'Yes’ Vote

No, it's your side who will pay for the egregious smear campaign. Perhaps check to see if your passport is valid so you can be ready to leave.

There was NO smear campaign! Are you drunk on vodka, Natasha?

You keep repeating the Trumputin troll lies, so you must be drunk on something because all this repetition has to be boring!!

Unless you're a bot, of course, then you have no mind, no feelings, you are merely a machine programmed by Russian men.

I’d love to hear one anti-Kavanaugh poster say something of substance and refrain from straw men and name calling. Tall order.

Yeah, I'd like to hear one pro-Kavanaugh poster say one thing that doesn't include a lie.

Why aren't YOU teaching them that NO means NO?

Everyday out in public I parents teaching their kids that "no" means "Try to convince me you should have what you want."

You permissive parents are teaching your own boys that no doesn't REALLY mean no.

WHY??!??

Seek professional help. Seriously. You have no idea WTF you are talking about. Get a clue.

You do know that he cruises HS girls basketball games because he "likes to see what strategies the coaches use"?

Proof? Are you saying he’s trying to target underage girls?

No, pp clearly stated that he “likes to see what strategies the coaches use.” It’s right there.

Let's sum up here:
1. Kavanaugh voted in
2. Collins will not be voted out
3. Kavanaugh will not be impeached
4. No one care about this next week

[Anonymous]

And a traunch of Kavanaugh documents will be released from the archives on Monday

This is why they wanted to rush the vote this weekend.

Is that what we’re calling the shreds of Dr Ford’s dignity? And it’s conscience.
