A Majority of Republicans Support a Sexual Predator on the Supreme Court

So I read through a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll's findings today. Here were some of the early documented results:

- 58% of Americans claim they'll pay close or very close attention to the Brett Kavanaugh/Christine Blasey Ford hearing tomorrow.

- 32% believe Ford; 26% believe Kavanaugh; and 42% aren't sure who to believe.

- 38% support Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court, while 43% oppose it.

- 59% oppose Kavanaugh's nomination if the sexual misconduct allegations are found to be true.

- 37% are more likely to vote for a politician in the midterms who opposes Kavanaugh's nomination, while 32% are more likely to go the opposite route.

That's when we get to the big finding, the finding which should send shockwaves to some people. According to this reputable pollster, a majority, 54% of Republicans think Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed as the next Supreme Court Justice regardless of whether or not the sexual misconduct allegations are true.

Let that sink in for a moment. Brett Kavanaugh allegedly attempted to rape Christine Blasey Ford; stuck his genitals in the face of Deborah Ramirez; tried making women vulnerable to gang rape; and physically assaulted a woman.

Combine the allegations with what a majority of Republicans reportedly believe. They're essentially saying the following:

- "Even if Brett Kavanaugh tried to rape a woman, he should be on the Supreme Court."

- "Even if Brett Kavanaugh rubbed his junk on a woman's face without her consent, he should be on the Supreme Court."

- "Even if Brett Kavanaugh tried to make women vulnerable to gang rape, he should be on the Supreme Court."

- "Even if Brett Kavanaugh physically attacked a woman, he should be on the Supreme Court."

Yeah, remember when the GOP said the War on Women was a hoax? They've disproved that claim to infinity and beyond with this new poll result. It's about time they actually listen to women and stop blaming them for their own faults.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
