SNL cold open was a gut punch

[StarlightGold]

to me. Because it was, I would bet my entire paycheck it actually happened...all of those motherfuckers gloating and fist pumping and rubbing it in. This is what the USSC is to them; a weapon against anyone not white or male. I feel sick. There must be someway to make Kavanaugh’s life a living hell. His wife too. She supports him. I really need to vent today. Thanks, everyone, for listening.

1. Hang in there.

Let’s show them what we think of them on November 6th.

[StarlightGold]

2. Oh you know it

I’ll be the first in line. Thank you for the encouragement.

[Maine-i-acs]

3. She does not support him

She is a victim and fears him. He is an angry drunk. I fear for his wife and kids.

[StarlightGold]

6. I'm so disgusted now

it’s hard to extend any sympathy to his family. Albeit I was raised with an insane, crazy screaming dad so for his wife to openly defy him and stand up for herself may be a lot easier said than done. My emotions are engulfing me now and I as far as being fair to her...I’m not there yet. I just need to huddle here for warmth.

[WhiteTara]

7. Me too. She looked terrified and sad

I hope he doesn't do things to his little girls or their friends.

11. USA Today

had an article expressing that concern about a week ago.
That needs to be spread far and wide because I tell you...I sure as hell wish someone had intervened when I was growing up instead of leaving me to think my dad’s behavior was normal. No one did...the man alienated everyone he met or worked with. But no one came to my rescue. Still in therapy because of his filthy temper.

[WhiteTara]

12. When I was growing up, children were basically

considered chattel. I don't think there were any child abuse laws and almost everyone I knew were latch key kids. Different time and perhaps someone will intervene; this is such a public event that I'm sure the pressure will land somewhere in that home.

22. That wife of his works for the Bush crime family

She was George W. Bush's secretary. She has motivation to keep all those crimes she took part in swept under the rug.

Her old man was consigliere for the BCF. They fell in love while committing crimes.

This is depraved and will only get worse.

Coup 2016, because they had to.

[shanti]

28. Please

She does not fear him. Kavanaugh's wife used to work for *ush, she's one of them.

[rags17]

4. This too will pass

It may pass like an enormous kidney stone, but it will pass !

[StarlightGold]

8. With lots of screaming

and great relief when it’s over!
So...how can we flush this stone out of our systems?

[customerserviceguy]

14. My choice

is beer. Yes, I know "he" drinks it, and is a vocal proponent of it, but he doesn't own it, and I can have some craft brews that he'd have some trouble finding. Besides, he probably drinks Bud, or Coors, or Miller, or some such crap.

[MineralMan]

26. We need a giant lithotripsy machine, I think.

[Texasgal]

5. It's amazing to me

that so many consider this confirmation like a sporting event!

Disgusted and saddened.

[GoCubsGo]

23. That's how the republicans have treated politics for years.

Yes. It is sad and disgusting.

[LenaBaby61]

9. His wife supports him ...

Yeah, she does. My friend ask me if I saw her face when he was being questioned. I told my friend again that I don't have any pity for her nor for Melanie. They're enablers. NO PITY. Not one ounce. I told my friend that their living better than those 1,000 minor missing immigrant children, most of whom will remain missing forever. THOSE innocent children have my prayers and sympathy. Not two enablers.

[suegeo]

24. Bart's old lady worked for GWB himself

She was the chimps' Secretary. She saw plenty in an administration that was not legit and was riddled with lawless sociopaths.

Sept. The 11 happened on the GOP "watch" what a complete fuck up. Iraq, torture, using stolen information, taken by ofMike Ledeen when putting illegitimate W.'s kangaroo judges on the bench.

Her old man participated in coup 2000. Her old man leaked information for the sleazy Ken Starr.

She looks scared, and I have speculations as to why.

[question everything]

10. Who played the turtle? He was very good

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Yes, he really was, I agree!

That's the best McConnell I've seen! Looked it up and it was Beck Bennett:

13. See it on MediaITE

[Demovictory9]

15. there is a shot of McConnell around vote time, face shiny and wet

that weird pasty face of his with a grin on it. soooo happy. why I don't know... Happy to screw people who aren't born yet?

[SunSeeker]

16. I couldn't laugh. Too angry. nt

[drmeow]

17. That was brilliant

but I could not understand what Susan Collins said that had Lindsey Graham covering her mouth when she first came on. Could someone with better ears (or more knowledge as well as better ears) tell what was up?

[drmeow]

18. My Mom texted me today to tell me

that my posts are getting raw and not to sink to their level. F**k that - their level is causing suffering to entire classes of people, my level is wanted to see suffering in very specific people who are causing direct harm to me and my family! It would be a step forward if they could rise to my level.

This was one of the posts:

"Once Briett Kavanaugh is on the bench we should all send him a postcard that says noting but the word "rapist" or "perjurer" or "drunkard" in large block letters. Make it an annual thing. "

I just have this vision of that vile piece of human excrement getting like 100,000 postcards - semi regularly, that say simply

RAPIST or PERJURER or DRUNKARD in large block letters. Just the thought make me actually smile cause it piss him the f**k off.

[Midnight Writer]

19. So it is OK for a terrified Professor Ford to stay quiet for years, but not for Mrs. Kavanaugh?

I really do not see the distinction here. A victim is a victim. And a predator, a skilled, experienced, intelligent predator, knows exactly how to keep his victims in a box.

[suegeo]

25. Bart's old lady worked for GWB himself

She is terrified of what she witnessed back during those depraved years coming out.

She fell in love with Brett while both were participating in crimes.

21. I watched a little then had to stop

29. Welcome to DU, 66ttamgor.

Thanks, and again, welcome.
