Thought For The Night

Clarence Thomas 2.Oh No

September 17, 2018

An even whiter version of the lying sexual predator, and eventual Supreme Court mute, Clarence Thomas, has made his way into Senate hearings to become yet another pro-corporate, anti-minority, anti-woman, anti-etc. Supreme Court justice.  Just what this country needs – another narrow-minded, ultra-conservative pinhead, who thinks pretends he is channeling the men who wrote the Constitution (signed 231 years ago today), overseeing our adherence to our founding document. 

Once again, a woman accuser is set to be dragged through the mud by stupid white men, as she bravely agrees to testify under oath, in a public hearing.  Despite knowing what Anita Hill was subjected to 27 years ago, Professor Christine Blasey Ford has agreed to be questioned – by some of the same men who disrespected and disregarded Anita Hill – in order to tell her story of being sexually assaulted – almost raped – by Brett Kavanaugh when the two were in high school.  The only other witness, Kavanaugh’s friend at the time, claims his buddy was innocent, with the caveat that he was so drunk that he really cannot remember much of anything. 

We already know that Kavanaugh has been repeatedly less than honest during this confirmation process, as well as during a previous confirmation process year ago.  Blasey has already passed a polygraph test.  Kavanaugh has not.  Perhaps this time justice will be served, instead of steamrolling a victim and elevating a sleazebag like Thomas…I mean Kavanaugh to a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. 

Chrump reportedly advised a friend accused of sexual impropriety, “You've got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women.”  This is, of course, exactly what Chrump has done some two dozen times…that we know of.  The man who nominated Kavanaugh, who won over Republican’ts by saying, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything ... grab them by the pussy. You can do anything,” is standing by his man.  For now.
