“Absolutely totally prepared” he says. He owns any and all fuck ups responding to this string of storms as if he’d put his name on it in chintzy gilded letters like the fire traps he uses to launder money.

I didnt apply anything to Maddow. She has been saying all along that if Murkowski and Collins vote NAY on Kavanaugh he is toast.

IF.  The tweet you linked to said that Maddow is reporting that they will vote No.  I don't watch her show, butt here is nothing out there that would support that report, and Maddow isn't the type to report something not based on the facts.

And BTW, if she does say that she is probably right.  Its very unlikely that Democrats would not be united against him if they got Murkowski and Colliins' votes.

He just figured he was less likely to get shot by police if he wore a pro Trump shirt.

Roe v Wade is not at stake.  It's just political posturing to get an appointment nixed.

Whether or not this is true (and it probably isn't) SCOTUS doesn't need to overturn Roe V Wade to make it effectively impossible for women in many places to get an abortion.

And it isn't and will not be the only women's health issue to come before the court.

Mrs bambu-wisdom explained it to me...and I now agree that the cartoon is racist.

Ah yes, 'Australia is racist'.
LOL
That's why if I walk thru the streets of Sydney I could be forgiven for thinking I'm in "Shanghai-Mumbai" I suppose.

And, why 'Africans' are rampaging thru Melbourne violently invading homes and bashing innocent residents, violently invading and robbing stores etc, bashing and robbing people in street etc, with what almost seems like impunity.

Double fist pumps for Shanksville and other strange doings by the liar in the White House.

Trump's lie about the thousands of Muslims cheering in Jersey City has got to be one of his most pernicious.  As the writer says,  this is who Trump is.   And it's important to not forget how low he will go in his lying and slander.

Then there was the demeaning, mocking, statue of White, heterosexual, male, [Christian] President Donald Trump with exaggerated features, ...small manhood, small hands or whatever there were.
Most at this site who are outraged about the Serena cartoon just loved that racist statue of the White male.

And the baby blimp, more mocking and ridicule of a White male.
Most here loved that too.

Because "white males" are now special victims, right?

Ha!

Correct.
The only group you can now mock, ridicule, discriminate against and there won't be a social media and leftist storm and riots.

Imagine!   if in Melbourne White heterosexual males were violently invading homes and bashing up 'Africans'.

A woman writes today;

Feminists using bullying accusations as power play

Miranda Devine

SERENA Williams and her army of feminist enablers can play the gender card as hard as they like, but everyone else who watched her behaviour at the US Open Final knew exactly what they were seeing.

A bully. A shrieking, shouting, emotionally incontinent bully wagging her finger at the umpire, eliciting boos and jeers from the mob, abusing her position as the most powerful women in tennis.

And all because she was losing the game. She was down 6-2 in the first set against a younger, faster female opponent, Japan’s Naomi Osaka, 20, and lost the second set 6-4.

Serena, 36, accused umpire Carlos Ramos of “stealing” from her when he penalised her because her coach was coaching from the sidelines, which he admitted, because she smashed her racquet on the ground and because she abused him.

“I have a daughter,” she wailed. What kind of a role model is a mother who tantrums like a spoiled brat in public?

I'm not sure you understand what the word "racist" means.

Donald Trump is shown with small hands because he has small hands.  It isn't considered some prevailing feature of "whiteness."  And his small penis an obvious reference to the fact that his entire career is overcompensating.

And the baby...he is orange because he is, actually, orange (there is a tanning bed in the White House) and a baby because he acts like one.  None of that has to do with his being white. 

"Racism" against whites isn't a thing. Not in a way that hurts, that threatens their place in society.  "White men can't jump..."  Does that really sting? 

Louis CK (too soon?) has a bit on this.  "Oh man, you just called me a cracker.  Reminding me of a time when I owned lots of land and slaves..."
