My rage level is off the charts.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I did not make it out of the loop before the Van Dyke verdict was announced. Enough packed trains went by that it became clear that the best option was to go back to work. I got back in the building right as the announcement was made. So very relieved that it was guilty.
SURJ is calling for white people to go to their rally/march, which I might do. I'm mostly worried about my bad ankle at this point. I've been having trouble with it.

I had to stop listening because I was grinding my teeth. Don't even want to look at my BP.
eta: Collins of course, good to hear aurelia's update!

I was going to post the link to donate to Collins' unspecified Democratic opponent, but it's not working. I'm guessing it's overwhelmed by traffic.

I looked at that link earlier, Dana. There was over the 2 million goal already reached. I'll bet it blows through 3 before the end of the day.

I'm beginning to be afraid that one of these yahoos is going to pay a stupid intern to push the Notorious RBG down some stairs. It wouldn't take much to force her to retire.

Manchin will vote for Kavanaugh. That utter fucker.
Murkowski is a No, but it doesn't matter.

Has a Supreme Court justice ever been impeached? I've read various people speculating on something like that happening if the Dems take back the House, but I wasn't aware of that having happened for anything but Presidents.

I hope Mitch McConnell lives long enough (in moderately uncomfortable circumstances) to see how history will view him. Like, he loses (or quits) in 2020, immediately trips over a turtle (for the irony), and is confined to his bed, unable to talk on the phone or receive visitors, but forced to hear the opinions of historians and disappointed constituents.

I cannot possibly imagine enough Democrats having the balls to make that happen, even if they get a 2/3 majority.
