I don't have a television provider and last night I chose to avoid watching Trump do his Supreme Court Pick Pageant on the internet, but I knew the second that Old Orange Gas Bag had announced his choice because the inbox alerts on my phone started lighting up like the Vegas Strip. He had chosen former G.W. Bush election-fixer Brett Kavanaugh - and predictably no one, at least no one who regularly emails me, was happy with the selection.
My email correspondents were in a slobbering rage as they warned me that Kavanaugh was determined to kill Roe v Wade and that he is on record as a strong opponent of Special Counsels and attempts to remove sitting presidents. He was certain to be a disaster for humanity at all levels - and please send money.
Kavanaugh is just one more sideshow in the Trump carnival of depravity and disaster that we will have to endure until this festering freak show completes its run. There is a chance, of course, that his nomination could be derailed if Democrats can dig up something that would be so vile and disgusting that it even managed to embarrass Trump's evangelical base, but those folks are demonstrably shameless so that is highly unlikely. And even if this nomination were to be derailed, the same blowhard would quickly select another nominee - one at least as awful as Kavanaugh.
The only hope would be a substantial change in the political makeup of Congress and particularly in the Senate.
The Senate must become significantly more Democratic, or Trump must be indicted and suffer mortal political wounds. Anything short of one or both of those outcomes will insure that this vile and abysmal crap will continue for two-and-a-half more years - at a minimum.
We have brought it on ourselves. We own the monster and we may have to endure his determined destruction of civilization until he wears himself - and us - out. This November's election is shaping up to be the most consequential in our history.
We must register, we must vote, and we must drive the soulless enablers of Donald John Trump out of the corridors of power!
And God save Robert Mueller!
