Cheers and Jeers: Thursday

From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE…

Thursday Margaret and Helen Blogging

Bloggerdom's feistiest octogenarians ("best friends for 60 years and counting") emerge from a four-month hiatus to weigh in on the Kavanaugh hearings…

Every one of those GOP Senators expected an overly emotional, erratic and maybe even hysterical witness… and let me tell you Brett Kavanaugh did not disappoint. […]

Nothing says you’re serious about an upcoming election like a snap inspection of your freshly-swabbed battleship.

To be clear, Brett Kavanaugh is indeed innocent until proven guilty.  And it’s not search and destroy like Kavanaugh and Trump want us to believe.  It’s about making sure the truth comes out. After all, if there is nothing to find, then it doesn’t matter how hard you search.  When a woman finds the courage to speak about sexual assault, she deserves to be heard. And hearing her means taking the time to fully investigate in hopes of uncovering the truth.  And if that means men need to be a little scared, so be it. We women have been living scared all our lives. If you are worried for your sons, I have one piece of advice for you. Teach them to respect women.  Problem solved.

The late Governor Ann Richards liked to say, “Life isn’t one thing after another.  It’s the same damn thing over and over again.”  Well, I am tired of fighting this fight over and over again.  This November we have more women than ever running for elected office, and I for one plan to vote for them early and often. I mean it.

Read the whole thing here. America's assignment in 33 days, in the immortal words of Mrs. Conan the Barbarian: "Destroy your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the conservative men." Warning: you’ll need earplugs.
