Bruhs,
I listened to the hearings in their entirety yesterday. My thoughts...Kav is a classic example of a totally douche, Uber privilege frat boy-type with a penchant for boozing and sexual aggression in his younger years. Since having children—specifically two daughters—he has realized how disgusting his behavior as a boy and young man was. In his current position he cannot bring himself to face his demons and so—the result—is his over the top angry performance yesterday when his past behavior threatens all his substantial accomplishments to date.
There was an opportunity here to make a cultural shift by making him example to all boys and men that if you treat women like $hit and act like a depraved A-hole—even if that was a long time ago that it matters not how much you’ve accomplished you will be held accountable. That would’ve been a good thing and shown that we have made progress as a society since 1991.
Instead, bruhs, this is what is going to happen. He will be confirmed to the SCOTUS—some Dems will even vote for him. In the midterms, the Dems will take the House but will lose 1-3 seats in the Senate (they will win some upsets but some Dem incumbents will lose so the net change will be in the GOPs favor). RBG will die in the next 2 years and Trump will get another SCOTUS appointment before 2020. Unless something major, like a big war occurs, Trump will lose reelection in 2020 AND the Senate will go back to the Dems in 2020 as well.
The Dems will then spend the next 4-8 years trying to reverse everything the GOP has done under Trump and the cycle—and downward death spiral of a once great nation will continue.
Don't be so optimistic!
Fair point. The Dems might not win back control of the House and Trump could win in 2020. Never underestimate the idiocy of Trump’s base. Trumpers gonna Trump as the saying goes....
