I was just thinking that this whole Kavanaugh situation hadn't gotten political enough, and I wish there was some other agenda that could be dashed on, like sprinkles on a cupcake. Thank you for adding to the sprinkles.

I think that it is a bit harsh on a parent who lost a child at Parkland to refer to his interjection as 'sprinkles'.

I laugh every time I hear this. What a whiny bitch.

"My life is ruined!"

Oh really? Like you're not going to go down a hero in Right Wing lore? Your luxurious life of rubbing elbows with Republican billionaires and world tours and golf trips and free plane rides is over? Hardly.

What happened to sheriff Arpaio after he got convicted? Is his life ruined?

As long as there is a Republican party, no amount of depravity is beyond the reach of their praise and admiration.

I eagerly await some sort of accounting from anyone on how Kavanaugh’s life has been ‘ruined’.

I’m sure that the replies will be numerous, so I’ve staked out a good deal of bandwidth below for this, and will go make some popcorn for the crowds while I await the deluge. I’ll bring back tissues, too.

It's such a mystery people accuse Republicans of not really caring about people.

I don't know about Kavanaugh himself, but I have to admit to a measure of compassion for his family. I don't think they asked for this.

Of course.

But appointing Mr K. to the Supreme Court for the next forty years or more is not an appropriate way to express the said compassion.

Yes your child being murdered is definitively worse. But being accused of gang rape in the press isn’t nothing if you’re innocent. These allegations will be what defines him for the rest of his life. It may be all people remember about him.
