iSteve commenter Space Ghost has some relevant questions:
What’s the going rate for emotional labor these days? Minimum wage? How does overtime work? Like if you go home after work and stew about how Trump just keeps winning, does that pay 1.5x? Or is it more of a salaried position?

Trump wins again, even hysterical women cannot stop him
Now we’ll see if he was worth the effort .
What’s the going rate for emotional labor these days? Minimum wage? How does overtime work? Like if you go home after work and stew about how Trump just keeps winning, does that pay 1.5x? Or is it more of a salaried position?
Optimism rising!
Hallelujah!
I hope this ordeal has converted him from a squishy milquetoast woman-pedestalizing cuckservative into a red-pill anti-misandry fanatic.
Now THAT would Make America Great Again.
How awful, an upright, bright, hardworking white man of integrity who believes in the traditions that made this country rise to the envy of the rest of this world has been confirmed. Cue the sackcloth and ashes in 3,2,1…
Another neo-con friendly swamp creature rises. But in the process of making it all about Kavanaugh’s impossible to confirm sexual assault (Which they failed to find any other incidences of) from over 30 years ago (I don’t really know or care what to believe vis-a-vis this, I don’t see much to admire in Kavanaugh or Blassey-Ford) and basically flipping the table about him being a white man they have just escalated things.
I suspect since most of the commentators here are male, that they don’t feel what the media is trying to inculcate in women. (To increase turnout in non-Trump women and depress turnout in Trump women) Did it work? Did it offset the damage in terms of how frustrated it made men? I don’t intuitively empathise with it so I don’t know.
Interestingly despite all the talk of Kavanaugh’s blue-blood like privilege, there’ll be absolutely no discussion about the lack of a white Protestant of any persuasions or any protestant of any race for that matter on the supreme court. It really is an amazing history that it’s now totally Catholic and Jewish. (Not that religion really matters that much anymore or that the Christian justices being Catholic rather than some more mainline East Coast Protestantism doesn’t serve the desires of the highly observant protestants in the US re abortion better) But you’d think in all the kvetching about ‘WASP’s they’d at least get the joke, particularly since most of the biggest complainers were Jewish.
Well, that was fun.
Now it’s time for him to sue Ford, Debbie and what’s her name for slander. It’s clear that not a one of them can substantiate their claims. Probably there are some deep pockets that would cover it, but it would show many on the left that there are still real world consequences for baseless defamation and they don’t just get to do as they please, oh and give them some holiday cheer this season.
In the 1940s, the New York Post, which at the time was considered practically Communist in its editorial sympathies, supposedly ran a front-page headline on a very hot July day : HEATWAVE STRIKES THE CITY : JEWS & NEGROES SUFFER THE MOST!
Hallelujah!!!

Judging from my family, the Schumer/Feinstein plan to anger and motivate the base has been a roaring success. Adolf Trump has crowbarred the guy I would have loathed in high school if I had known him onto the highest court of the land, with the connivance of Senator Collins (stupid, evil, or both?).
The reaction of the other side will become clear in early November.
It’s Lindsey Graham’s world; we’re all just playing in it.
1) Senator Graham shows he has grown in office ...
2) Recent moves by the senator have surprised friends and foes alike ...
3) A strange new respect greets the South Carolina senator ...

Twenty years from now, will you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you learned that Kavanaugh had finally been confirmed and that our long national nightmare was over?
I was sitting in a hospital room, watching the UM-FSU game.
Incidentally, today (October 6) marks T-minus one month to the midterms. It’s going to be a long, hard slog.

Judging from my family the Schumer/Feinstein plan has ensured straight GOP voting in November and no one will be missing out on the vote. Kavanaugh is irrelevant; the Democrat tactics were not. I’ve never seen hatred for the Left like I’m seeing now. Everyone is voting and it’s straight party line GOP. Ford’s “legal team” and the protest leaders – all future commissars and Gulag camp commanders – didn’t inspire confidence in the future should these people ever take power.
When the left has lost a hardcore liberal like my mother, they're in big trouble. An important reason why they lost her is that the stock market is still pretty high while bonds are going up. As a retiree, she really wants higher bonds, and a high stock market is the best of both financial worlds. From her perspective this is terrific, and it's something Obama could never manage.Replies: @Mike1

Let’s just say conservatives and regular white folks aren’t the only ones feeling some schadenfreude at the expense of Feinstein, Ford, and Schumer et. al.
Please tell me this is over.
I want to get on with my life. I got up at 4 in the morning to watch some of this and woke my wife up shouting, “You cannot be serious!”
It’s partly a cry of rage, because US politics have almost as big impact on us as they do on you, and there is nothing we can do to influence them.
Apologies again to all US sailerites I have offended. You cannot help sharing a passport with Chuck Schumer any more than I can avoid sharing passports with Tony Blair or certain members of the NZ Green Party.
For the poor average Russian of that era, he really had nothing he could possible do about it, by the 1920's or so. We can't say the same here - we don't have an excuse if this madness continues. It is Americans' duty to stop it.
I woke up at 6:00am to watch, and it was already over. It's okay, though, because I had prepared for the event by buying a beer (Kirin Lager). I was going to crack it open when the 50th Yes vote was cast. But then my wife drank my beer last night before she went to bed. Of all the... #%&$@!!!!

As if they weren’t already emptying their wallets to put the orange usurper in his place.
Oh, my goodness, perhaps all women and people of color need to take a powder and go and lie down in a cool room with a washcloth on their brow.
Seriously, though, the vast majority of women and people of color have never heard of Justice Kavanaugh. It is only activists who are emotionally exhausted from the effort of bending their minds to try to believe in a myth that is not very convincing.
I guess that is how the Christian missionaries used to feel when attempting to teach cannibals the doctrine of the atonement as if their lives depended on it.

Kav getting angry - illegitimate response.
Just you wait.
One question in my mind is that the #MeToo movement is clearly effective at mobilizing the highly educated single woman, and getting them engaged and voting.
However, I am wondering if this is unintentionally fraying the coalition of the fringes. I don’t think that either feminism or a heightened fear that men are unfairly getting away with sexual assault on privileged white women is a deep concern for Black or Hispanic men. Moreover, I seriously doubt Black men and Hispanic men are *so concerned* about rape that they are willing to scrap due process and liberal norms, even though said norms are clearly “misogynistic”.
I am also seeing some polls showing Trump is polling at 35% in Blacks. I don’t know if its related, but I can’t imagine that the male POC don’t find self-righteous elite-educated white women crying about their victimhood equally as annoying as white men.
It is clear the Democrats have been extremely effective at driving white men to the Republican party, and I am wondering if the kind of toxic feminism the Dems are selling can be used as a wedge to pry more Black and Hispanic men into staying home or supporting the GOP. Because, if so, the Dems are screwed.
Bannon was right about identity politics. If the Right can wake up, they can really leverage social justice to win elections.
Absolutely. The Trump administration has already been driving the 'less low-skilled immigration -> more jobs for low-skilled natives' logic home.
1. A victory for Trump and the overall effort to defy the crazy deep state.
2. A defeat for the forces of slander and unsubstantiated accusation.
3. A victory for the forces of slander and unsubstantiated accusation, since they accomplished a great deal of slander and accusation in the last two weeks.
4. Getting a conservative on the Court is a neutral accomplishment. A real victory would be constitutional change to take away the Court’s power to defy the Congress and Executive, who are elected by the people.
For it to be a defeat for the forces of slander and unsubstantiated accusation, there would have to be consequences for the slanderers and their enablers. A 50-48 confirmation vote does not count as consequences.
A fully-clothed teenage boy may or may not have rolled around on top of a fully-clothed teenage girl 36 years ago. Never forget.

No offense taken. I may have written this, but Americans need to understand that people all over the world will hate and ridicule all Americans for the actions and words of only a minority. That’d be the same as some Americans’ misplaced hatred for “the Russians” back during the Cold War. It was Communism and the Soviet leadership that deserved the hatred.

I hope now that the dust has settled that we will finally be given information on how likely Kavanaugh is to vote on specific cases.
The media was so distracted by the allegations that they kinda took a knee on reporting what type of SCJ he will likely be.
Then again, it is unrealistic to expect people will approach BK without emotion. Schadenfruede makes me happy he was confirmed, but I wish this farce had never occurred in the first place.

Typical midterm turnout for citizens 18-29 is under 20%. Lots of Trump voters it was their first time voting. I don’t have any great idea on how to get them to turn out.
I was surprised to find my die-hard liberal mother, who has been voting reliably left ever since going for George McGovern in 1972, has been telling my father to shut off liberal news stations and telling her siblings that MSNBC is a pernicious influence. She’s told me she thinks the leftist media are exaggerating things quite a bit, and when the NYT tried to raise a furor about Trump’s inheritance from his father, she immediately began to talk about every relative she knew who ever tried to dodge inheritance taxes. She didn’t blame Trump a bit.
When the left has lost a hardcore liberal like my mother, they’re in big trouble. An important reason why they lost her is that the stock market is still pretty high while bonds are going up. As a retiree, she really wants higher bonds, and a high stock market is the best of both financial worlds. From her perspective this is terrific, and it’s something Obama could never manage.
It's an inverse relationship. A bond issued at 1% has less value if a new one gets issued at 2%.
Yeah, I have friends in Texas, political moderates and northern transplants, who loathe Ted Cruz but are voting for him. They also vow to vote Trump if the Democrat is any of those who were witch-hunting Kavanaugh, like Kamala Harris.
They have sons.
If the Democrats nominate Kamala Harris, the Republicans could pick the Green River Killer, and I'd at least think about it.
You do the Lord’s work Steve and do a bang up job of it! But, reading this stuff is getting “emotionally exhausting.”

The two-week Circus Maximus confirmation pageant of Justice Grope “I like beer!” Kavanaugh was America’s most compelling dinner theatre kayfabe since Shitholocaust.

Donald Trump won because he projected an image that he would seek to stem and possibly reverse the demographic dispossession of heritage, European-origin Americans (build the Wall, deport the DACA criminal infiltrators). He has done virtually nothing on these fronts. The “wins” you’re describing are mostly irrelevant to the reasons for his election; they’re nice to have but do nothing to change demographic reality. Barring a turnaround on the immigration issue, these “wins” will not save him from being routed in the 2020 election. (I contributed to Trump even before Iowa, so I’m not inherently biased against the guy.)
"Barring a turnaround on the immigration issue, these “wins” will not save him from being routed in the 2020 election."
Routed by whom? An open borders Democrat? Please.
“I am also seeing some polls showing Trump is polling at 35% in Blacks.”
This doesn’t translate into more Republican voters; it means blacks stay home on election day.
So that means the midterms will pit white men and married white women against lonely miserable shrews. It will be a glorious rout.

In 1971 Pinochet the Great, in a surgical action of great competence and, agreed, ruthlessness, freed his country from the pressing danger of becoming South America's second Marxist dystopia.

Rod Dreher recently quoted a NeverTrumper named Erick Erickson:
@Divesity Heretic
“Barring a turnaround on the immigration issue, these “wins” will not save him from being routed in the 2020 election.”
Routed by whom? An open borders Democrat? Please.
Seriously, though, the vast majority of women and people of color have never heard of Justice Kavanaugh. It is only activists who are emotionally exhausted from the effort of bending their minds to try to believe in a myth that is not very convincing.
I guess that is how the Christian missionaries used to feel when attempting to teach cannibals the doctrine of the atonement as if their lives depended on it.

I like the way the intro is written; journalists should be legally forced to write all stories like this.
Surely no one who worked in the GW Bush administration would be a cuck on immigration.
Well, as I understand it, there are limitations on whether public figures can sue others for libel or slander. Maybe a lawyer could say more on this.
The reaction that they would lose their reelection, because that is a racist, offensive proposal?
That link contains this precious bit:Replies: @Rosie, @Lowe
Sounds like the methodology sucked. They didn’t ask whether a racial minority was a man/woman?
More likely they only had like 3 blacks and 2 Hispanics in the poll, and only 1 was a man, and they just didn’t want to release those embarrassing numbers. It would also explain why the numbers seem off.
This has been my impression of the whole thing. The credible accusations, from Ford and Ramirez, aren’t even that serious. They sound tasteless at most.
Also the most credible and yes tasteless. As Kavanaugh testified and also typical for an immature member of the human race.
Total lack of perspective.
Who noticed that Alan Greenspan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg look just like each other?

When the left has lost a hardcore liberal like my mother, they're in big trouble. An important reason why they lost her is that the stock market is still pretty high while bonds are going up. As a retiree, she really wants higher bonds, and a high stock market is the best of both financial worlds. From her perspective this is terrific, and it's something Obama could never manage.Replies: @Mike1
Bonds are going down. What she is trying to say is that the interest rate on bonds is going up.
It’s an inverse relationship. A bond issued at 1% has less value if a new one gets issued at 2%.
Brett Kavanaugh dindu nuffin’.
Alt-Hype’s vid on this (Jordan Peterson’s Fancy Backswing) is very informative. Blacks + conservative views = votes for Democrats. They vote their race, not their ostensible beliefs. Hispanics too, though less-so.

CEW and your relatives are outliers. Glad you replied calmly to his misplaced hysteria.

The actual civil war in Spain broke out in 1936. After three long years of struggle, and those of unexampled violence, the forces of blessed reaction, of Throne and Altar, of Fascism and anti-Communism, won a splendid victory and gave Spain some forty years of that peace which is the tranquillity of Order. Wonderful was it in those days to be alive.

As far as I can tell, the nostalgia of the actual participants in the Spanish Civil War is somewhat less than your own. Nest visit to Valle De Los Caicos, perhaps reflect on that before wishing similar on our country.
Undoing autocorrect: Next visit to Valle De Los Caidos …
I’ve been there twice, first in 1969 (when the Caudillo was still gloriously reigning)and then again in 1994, when I prayed at his tomb.
I don’t care what Spanish Leftists think about their defeat, or how much “pain” reflecting upon it causes them.
By the way, I have reconciled myself to the imminent removal of Spain’s saviour from his tomb by the the pigmies of both state and (worst of all) church with the reflection that Franco himself would not wish to be in any way recognised, much less honoured, by a country once so great, and now fallen so miserably low.
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
