We are not a MOB; we are the MAJORITY.

The MAJORITY of Americans oppose Kavanaugh.

The MAJORITY believe Dr. Christine Ford.

Senators voting AGAINST Kavanaugh represent the MAJORITY of Americans.

The MAJORITY of voters voted against Trump in 2016.

They don't get to label the majority. We do the labeling by the book.

Two senator from Montana with a population of under a million should have no more power than the senators from California and NY.

5. Hey, I'm fine with being a mob as long as they get the "angry" part right.

Because I feel rage right now and I'm just glad I'm not alone on that.

7. We had Kavanaugh until the accusations seemed to stretch credibility.

I think most people believed it very possible that someone with no criminal record was involved in a potential assault 36 years ago.

But when Avenatti and others started throwing out more claims, these involving the same person with no criminal record, allegedly orchestrating massive gang rapes on a regular basis, with female witnesses, none of which said a thing? The later claims sounded so over the top (whether actually true or not) that for the average American I think they completely diluted the power of the initial, more believable claims, and it became much easier for the Cons to label all accusations as obvious lies.

12. Do Republicans actually think this is going to end well for them?

Or for the country for that matter?

They are tearing the country apart with their divisiveness, with their moves to grab power regardless of the cost.

I guess they are OK with Trump's despicable prime time ceremonial swearing-in during which Trump once again ripped open the wounds of survivors of sexual assault. He just couldn't resist his need to attack anyone who gets in his way of his goals, even a victim of sexual abuse.
