Democrats are too drunk on hate to listen carefully, but it they ever get back on their meds long enough to study Collins’ speech, they might realize how destructive the Avenatti-Swetnik nonsense was to their cause. Collins’ analysis pivoted at that point, as she rejected the gang drug and rape ring allegation with contempt that colored the rest of her discussion. The dems jumped into bed with Avenatti and Swetnik and reaped the consequences.

Backfired? Looks like the Dems put a banana in their own tailpipe.

Next time they will find a couple “witnesses” to corroborate the fake story.

If Ford’s friend had “remembered” the rape party, then Ford and the Democrats might have successfully stopped Kavanaugh.

Hillary failing wasn’t in the playbook. Or, losing the House and Senate. Now the new tactics are intimidation, smears, threats bullying and actual violence. Sounds like 1917 Russia.

"Nazi democrats will have storm troopers in the streets."

I know storm troopers. Storm troopers are friends of mine. These people, Chaplain, are NOT storm troopers.

The Demonicrats need some serious payback in November... and then some.

In 1954 Congress passed and President Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act (68 Stat. 775, 50 U.S.C. 841-844), which outlaws the Communist Party of the United States.

It is now obvious that the law needs to be updated to included the Communist-infiltrated, murder-by-abortion-promoting, traitorous Demonicrat Party.

“it ain’t over yet, baby

I’ll feel better when I hear 51 ayes!”


Yep... I don’t believe in “counting the chickens before the eggs hatch”!

I want to see 51 or more ayes first before I celebrate... And then I’ll celebrate with some ice cold skis! Because I like beer... Do you like beer? ;)

If he’s confirmed, they won’t recognize that their playbook failed, but rather observe that it almost worked, and just needs a little tweaking.

their playbook under oath has always been “I Don’t Recall”. CBF thought she could launch the allegations with no details and everyone would run for cover under the I Don’t Recall blanket. And the GOP would fold.However this is the Deplorable Party and we want to fight for this country and it’s survival.

Or 1930s Germany.

The left falls back on the same tactics over and over. I have come to the conclusion that if politicians are motivated by serving the people, they make their case to the people. If they are motivated by power, they resort to character assassination, intimidation, and eventually violence.

“It’s only just begun. Let Ginsberg keel over, and I guarantee these nazi Democrats will have storm troopers in the streets”

At which point there will be well armed Patriots behind every blade of grass. Tip of the hat to Yamamoto.

If you think of them as reasonable people, this article makes a lot of sense. That line of thinking will leave you completely surprised the next time they act out. When Ginsberg keels over, this is going to look like what it really was, warmup. It’s going to be much worse. The GOP needs to be ready for that. Their expected strategy will be to nominate a woman, thinking that the Democrats won’t attack a female nominee. LOL. I don’t disagree with nominating a woman, provided she has the correct judicial philosophy, but the Democrats will savage her. Conservatives will try the “See, Democrats are the real sexists” line. The outcome will depend on the guts of the GOP Senate. The least they could do is not be caught off-guard by it.

Sounds like 1917 Russia.

Yes it does, or at least a few years before 1917. Consider these quotes from "The Russian Revolution" by Alan Moorehead 1958

"… this was a predatory state which the Czar and a small group of noblemen and bureaucrats ruled for their own exclusive benefit...The ruling group owned all the wealth, enjoyed all the privileges and monopolized all the political power, and it did not intend to give up any of its prerogatives. It considered the peasants to be little better than animals..."

"The peasants presented still another problem. All over Russia they were beginning to feel their power, and they were armed."

The lesson for conservatives is STAND YOUR GROUND and FIGHT BACK.

"Maybe but I’m thinking of the Hollywood Access Tapes gambit. People don’t care. Nothing about brazen sexual accusations shocks them anymore. The Rats traffic in smut, filth and gutter level trash with diminishing returns."

Right!

Isn't it amazing that the progressives pass laws allowing every perversion under the sun, and encourage such folks to come out of the closet and do things like "shout out your abortion?"

And yet they cast shame on college kids drinking beer and trying out grown-up activities.

They get away with it because many people are unable/unwilling to elevate logic (thinking) over their emotions.
