Republicans are bracing for a total shellacking on Nov. 6, 2018.  Polls show that they are truly the minority party, especially among women.

.

The democrats are buoyed by the fact that there are 209 congressional districts that are leaning or heavily democratic.  It only takes 218 congressional seats to have a majority. They need only 9 more seats to lean or go democratic to take such control.

.

63% of women identify as democrats.  Only 33% identify as republicans.

.

50% of men identify as republicans while 45% identify as democrats.

.

So, overall, the number of voters who identify as democrats is vastly larger than that of republicans.

.

The Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court Senate hearings – overall – are a boon to the democrats.  If nothing else, there will be an absolute deluge of women voters turning out to vote.  Any perceptible bump the GOP hopes to reap as a result of their win in getting Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court will be more than dwarfed by what happens as a result of the huge turn out by Democratic women on election day – Nov. 6th.

.

In Texas, the 2nd largest state behind California – Beto O’Rourke is battling head-to-head & even with GOP incumbent Ted Cruz to be the next U.S. senator from Texas.  Cruz is on the ropes and O’Rourke is actually poised to pull off one of the biggest upssets in U.S. political history.  O’Rourke raised a record $38.1 million in political donations in the last 3-months alone — a U.S. record for a senate race!

.

Andrew Gillum, the African-American Democratic mayor of Tallahassee, Florida is leading Republican Congressman Ron DeSantis in the gubernatorial race in Florida!  African-American Democrat Stacey Abrams is battling the Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp in Georgia for the governorship.  Along with an O’Rourke victory in Texas, these developments alone could completely tilt the 2020 presidential race as they are major southern states with large African-American & non-white voter populations.

.

So, what are the Republicans left with? — let’s try begging for ever-more money from their mega-donors like Las Vegas casino owner Sheldon Adelson.  They’re now forced to fleece these large GOP donors for tens-of-millions of dollars in additional campaign contributions between now and Nov. 6th – to stem what appears to be a virtual Democratic avalanche heading in the GOP’s direction.

.

The odds favor the Democrats all across the country – whether it’d be congressional races or gubernatorial or mayoral faces.  The GOP is literally on the run.

.

The real importance for Democrats in all of this, aside from an enormously stronger position to wage a presidential campaign in 2020 is that regaining control of the U.S. House of Representatives will thwart Trump in his bid to fire (1) Jeff Sessions – (2) Rod Rosenstein & (3) Robert Mueller – and effectively shut down the Russian investigation.

.

So, get out and vote on Nov. 6, 2018 – and vote like your life depended on it because it does.  If the GOP manages to maintain control of BOTH houses of Congress they will continue to dismantle health care, grant further tax relief and breaks to the super-wealthy & jam ever more right-winger judges on to our courts!  And if they manage to water-down Democratic gains in state races, gerrymandering heavily tilted in favor of Republicans will go on unabated and voter suppression efforts aimed at non-white voters will continue, both of which will greatly increase the odds of Donald Trump – should he somehow sidestep impeachment – being re-elected in 2020.

Brett Kavanaugh is a loose cannon.

.

He certainly can’t hold his liquor.

.

He certainly can’t admit to blacking out.

.

He certainly can’t admit to assaulting women & helping others do the same.

.

He certainly can’t admit that he has a belligerent, bellicose & angry demeanor when “baby” Brett doesn’t get his way or doesn’t have his point of view dominate!

.

He certainly can’t admit that he will DEFINITELY do away with Roe v. Wade – even though no more than 10-years ago he openly questioned whether Roe v. Wade was correctly decided?

.

He certainly can’t admit that he was coached to be more like Trump — bombast, bellicosity, overly-aggressive & abusive — (that last trait demonstrated by his disgraceful counterattacks on Judiciary Committee member, Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota — herself a former prosecutor!.

.

He certainly can’t admit that his absolutely god-awful reference to the Clinton’s in his opening statement bespeaks volumes about his conspiracy-laden approach to life and/or politics!

.

He certainly can’t admit that were he to take a polygraph test it would surely indicate – clearly – that Brett Kavanaugh has a tenuous relationship with the truth – @ best!

.

He certainly can’t admit that the FBI ALWAYS conducts a background investigation which precedes ANY supreme court nominee confirmation hearing!.

.

Brett Kavanaugh can’t admit that he’s skirted the ethics and norms of civilized society because he was brought up in & coddled and excruciatingly insular and privileged background!

.

Well, Brett, look into the mirror and just admit to yourself – in private – that you are a lying sack-of-shit that — & most likely — just torpedoed your chances of ever ascending to the Supreme Court!

.

Have another drink, Brett, you’re going to need an awful lot of them in the future!!!

Kavanaugh will be the latest word in the English lexicon to be a noun that denotes a “verb” – as in – don’t “fuck” this up!

.

As in — don’t “Kavanaugh” this up!

.

Talk about a total, fucking debacle!

.

This is worse than the “flame-out” of the 1959 Ford Edsel – (named after Ford’s son, Edsel)!

.

Georgetown Prep – Brett Kavanaugh’s secondary school – was the usual “insular” upper-crusty college-prep-for-“perps” high school!  The drinking was “legendary” – as was most likely the “doinking”!

.

So, now we’re staring at a total, slow-motion cluster-fuck of a supreme court nomination process now taking place in the U.S. Senate!  This is something right out of a hollywood screenplay — perhaps David Mamet!

.

Whether Christine Blasey Ford testifies on Wednesday, Thursday or Christmas Day — one thing is for certain — the Republican Party & by extension, Donald J. “Drumpf” — is pretty much toasted for good!  Those who identify as Republican will slowly, but surely, “drift” off the GOP rolls and end up somewhere between the Democrats & Independents!

.

Obamacare survived this evil, malevolent GOP drive to bury it!  So too, will Christine Blasey Ford triumph – one way or another – in the face of this horrific Republican onslaught of pure, unadulterated + unmitigated terrorism upon our democratic principles + ideals!

.

Brett Kavanaugh will be the sacrificial lamb in this political passion play – but to be brutally honest – he ain’t no “lamb”!

The Following Is From The Huffington Post — (9/11/18)

.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) wants to know if Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, has a gambling problem.

.

“Have you ever sought treatment for a gambling addiction?” Whitehouse asks pointedly as part of a series of questions submitted this week about Kavanaugh’s unexplained personal debts.

.

In 2016, Kavanaugh reported credit card and personal loan debts of between $60,000 and $200,000. The Trump White House said these debts were the result of Kavanaugh buying baseball tickets for friends who later paid him back, as well as some spending on home improvements. The 2016 debts did not appear on Kavanaugh’s 2017 disclosure form because they were either entirely paid off or fell below the reporting threshold. Kavanaugh also reported between $60,000 and $200,000 in debt in 2006.

.

The fact that Kavanaugh accrued such high debts through baseball tickets attracted notice, but surprisingly, not a single senator asked him about the issue during his televised judiciary committee hearings last week.

.

“Senators have limited time for questioning,” Rich Davidson, Whitehouse’s spokesman, said in an email. “Senator Whitehouse would have touched on many of these issues if he had additional time.”

.

Whitehouse is now asking about them in writing, and Kavanaugh will have to answer ― although not on camera. In addition to the baseball tickets, Whitehouse is asking Kavanaugh about his membership at an expensive country club, whether he regularly plays poker and how he paid for his house.

.

Whitehouse’s gambling questions stem, in part, from a publicly disclosed email from 2001 where Kavanaugh apologizes to his friends for “growing aggressive after blowing still another game of dice” on a weekend vacation in the Chesapeake Bay.

Revenge is a dish best served “cold“
Or so, the mafia code of conduct suggests

.

Looks like it worked this week
In the wake of John McCain’s demise

.

The week-long display of public pageantry
For this man, leading up to today’s burial at the U.S. Naval Academy

.

McCain planned to have George Bush + Barack Obama as speakers
He had specifically not invited the president
He had specifically not invited his 2008 running mate, Sarah Palin
It was all a full-frontal public rebuke to the president + Trumpism!

.

The icing on the cake occurred yesterday
At his memorial in the Washington National Cathedral
His daughter Meghan intoned —————————————–
The “America of John McCain has no need to be made great again
because it was always great.”

.

Yes, from his grave, as his body lay “cold“
John McCain gave Trump the “shiv“ he so richly deserved
Let’s hope & pray this will “jump-start” this nation back
Into the “regular order” that John so fervently wanted re-established!

Grandfather Frederick is already turning over in his grave!

.

Father Fred is just “dead”!

.

Donald Trump has been a disappointment to the aforementioned two gentlemen, to say the least!

.

He had everything handed to him. He had everything going for him.  His grandfather kicked things off by making a fortune – (via the Alaskan Klondike Gold Rush).  He had his father’s, Fred, Rolodex, political contacts + huge lines of credit!  Fred once sent over a suit case filled with $3.5-million in cash to one of Donald’s failing casinos in Atlantic City – (ostensibly to “buy” more gambling chips for Donnie) – but in reality was used to cover a delinquent “mortgage” payment on that particular casino.

.

In 1994 Donald’s net worth was minus $1-billion.  5 Chinese investors came in to “rescue” him by buying up one of his vacant, nonperforming West-End properties.

.

In 2006 Trump lent his “gilded” brand name — TRUMP — to 2 shady Russian investors — Tevfik Arif & Felix Sater — for a 46-story condo complex in Manhattan – The Soho – (with views of the Hudson River).  Trump wasn’t required to put any money into the deal but would acquire management rights & profits that therein ensued.  Basically, this project, like Trump’s original building – Trump Tower – put up in 1982 – was nothing more than a money laundering scheme.  Only 16% of the units were eventually purchased & the units had to be purchased with all cash, for no banks would extend loans on any Trump-related real estate.  The property eventually ended up with new owners in 2010.

.

Perhaps, the final straw in this tawdry tale is Trump Org.’s CFO – Chief Finance Officer — Allen Weisselberg, who has been with Trump properties since the 1970’s – who, this week, was given full immunity to cooperate with the Mueller Russia probe.  Weisselberg knows everything about Trump having to do with finances – including having done all of Donnie’s tax returns.  Yes, those dreaded tax returns that Trump has refused all along to release.  Weisselberg can provide all of the “insights” needed on these items.

.

Add to this, the plethora of information and evidentiary left-overs provided to the Feds by Trump’s former personal attorney,  Michael Cohen — including upwards of 200 tape recordings of conversations between Cohen & Trump — and it is not too hard to envision a rough landing for the current miscreant occupant of the Oval Office!

.

The walls are, indeed, closing in.  No, the “office” of the Presidency of the United States, as great as it is, as powerful as it is, as immunizing as it might be, will not be able to “fend” off the multitude of legal improprieties currently surrounding the Donster that have come to life and/or will shortly do so.

.

As former vice president Spiro Agnew’s lawyer, Martin London, said this week, it would be stupid for Trump not to follow the route Agnew took in 1973, which was to RESIGN!  Otherwise, as London goes on to say, the Feds will simply go after Trump’s family – (Ivanka, Donald, Jr. & Eric).  Let’s not forget Mike Pence.

.

Basically, there are only two choices – RESIGNATION – JUST LIKE NIXON!!!

Michael Cohen is no longer “mouthing” off to the media.  He’s been quiet for about 3-weeks now.  That’s ALWAYS a sign an indicted individual is cooperating with the prosecutor.  Michael has a lot of information to reveal about Trump – going back years! He knows where all of the bodies are buried.  He knows about all of Russian financial connections with Trump and how “leveraged” Trump is to the Russian “Mafia”-State!

.

More to the point, Cohen can shine a bright light on the “scuttle-but” that took place in the Trump campaign in June-2016 just prior to the infamous June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Manafort, Kushner & Trump, Jr. & the Russian lady-lawyer & the Russian-American lobbyist.  The purpose of that meeting was to get “dirt” on Hillary Clinton.  Cohen can go into the fine details as to who in the White House knew ahead of time about this meeting – including whether the president himself knew in advance.

.

Paul Manafort is likely to get convicted sometime this week by the Alexandria, Virginia jury.  He’s facing 18-counts against him.  He’s also set for a second trial in September.  In all likelihood Mr. Manafort is facing several hundred years of prison time.  Unless he’s a vampire, he will not emerge alive from such a stint in the state penal system.

.

He may be a tough guy, but he’s got a wife and two daughters.  He himself is 70-years old.  Trump could pardon him but Manafort would be facing the same charges under New York state law and would be, again, found criminally liable.  Trump’s pardon would do him no good under this scenario.

.

So, if I were Manafort, I’d be getting pretty close to “flipping” out – after the trial just held wherein his lawyers did not call any supporting witnesses for Manafort, nor did they call Manafort to the witness stand. The government had an overwhelming paper trail of evidence against Manafort for bank & tax fraud. 18 counts!

.

Manafort’s wife and daughters will no doubt be doing some flipping out of their own given this series of events.  And in turn, almost assuredly will cause Manafort himself to start to “flip” – for a drowning man does not have any other option.

.

Not even O.J.’s attorneys — Johnnie Cochran, Robert Shapiro, Robert Kardashian, Barry Scheck & F. Lee Baily could extricate Manafort out of the fucking mess he’s embroiled in!

.

Flip – or – flop, Paul!  I know what I’d do!  I know what virtually anyone else would do!
