I'm fucking PISSED.

Not about Kavanaugh, that shit was a done deal when he was nominated. It was the culmination of 40yrs of repub planning.

I'm pissed because it's the fault of lazy ass people who couldn't be bothered to vote.

1/ If you could vote in 1980 and didn't this is YOUR FAULT.

'82? YOUR FAULT.

'84? YOUR FAULT.

'86? YOUR FAULT.

'88? YOUR FAULT.

'90? YOUR FAULT.

'92? YOUR FAULT.

'94? YOUR FAULT.

'96? YOUR FAULT.

'98? YOUR FAULT.

'00? YOUR FAULT.

'02? YOUR FAULT.

Sexual assault is about power as all thinking peoples know.

Kavanaugh has power.

Dr. Ford does not.

Here you see the primary problem in our system.

A power structure that is abhorrently skewed to the already powerful.

Stay with me here, this one's a doozy.

I want you to think of a case about five years ago. In Florida a kid got drunk, slaughtered some folks on the side of the road and got slap on the wrist.

He claimed "afluenza," sayin' he was too RICH to understand what he'd done.

And it WORKED.

"You deploy because your nation sends you to these places. And then one day you come home and you realize it was all a lie."

I live in Indiana, where Joe Donnelly is up for re-election. The play right now from repubs is to hammer in how awesome Kavenaugh is, then either get Donnelly's vote, or to hammer HIM with a no vote come election time.

A commercial's been runnin'.

Let's dissect it shall we?
1/ Brett rolled out of a SCOTUS clerkship right into Ken Starr's waiting arms, a low level repub legal attack dog right off the bat. A real sharp tack.

I'm writing to you from a war zone.

OUR war zone.

Here, this twitterverse, is one of the chosen battlegrounds of our enemy, the Russians.

Make no mistake, you are a soldier now on one of the most important battlegrounds of the 21st century.

1/ Every bot, sock puppet or troll you report, block or mute is a win in this war.

Every story, pic or vid you debunk is a win in this war.

The strategy of our enemies is, to bring democracies down worldwide, making their gov'ts seem more legitimate.

There's been a lot of malaise and defeatism amongst good folks out there, and the soldier in me refuses to accept that.

Morale is KEY to winning.

I've been helping that out, here and there on threads, but people keep asking me how I can be so positive.
1/ Let me say first, emotionally this has NOT been easy for me, nor any of you out there. The pain of this administration is real for SO many, and each has their own reason. After the election I hid from people for days.

But then I got motivated again.
