Writing as a Washington, DC, activist and people’s advocate for over fifty years―someone who has saved more lives and caused more impactful legislation to be enacted than almost any sitting president or legislator—Nader shows how Trump’s crimes and misdemeanors followed the path of no resistance of the Obama, Bush and<br />Clinton regimes, which ushered in the extreme rise of corporate power and the abandonment of the poor and middle classes.<br />To the Ramparts: How Bush and Obama Paved the Way for the Trump Presidency, and Why It Isn't Too Late to Reverse Course by Ralph NaderTomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355268309169462651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-72878838541850092018-10-13T13:47:41.238+03:002018-10-13T13:47:41.238+03:00It's the end of the world as we know it

But I am sure he is influenced by his dislike of Donald Trump. Another American conservative diplomat friend said much the same. I think American politics is very tribal. It will be interesting to see what effect a third party candidate has in 2020. <br />The diplomat says:<br /><br />Judiciously setting aside party affiliation, one can only regret the damage being done to the institution of justice in this appointment in spite of ethically disqualifying factors. As a conservative and pretty strict constructionist, I am ashamed of the Trumpification of this seat that undermines a majority of the country’s faith in the court’s integrity and impartial determination of justice. I can only hope that Judge Kavanaugh’s regrets are sufficient to seek to restore faith via a lifetime of clearly impartial judgments.I am and always have been a Conservative Republican. Trump has never been a real Conservative and he effectively carried out a hostile takeover of the Republican Party, damaging it for decades to come. <br /><br />I’m a Restorationist now as there is so much we need to restore in our country now - morals, decency, political parties, our stature in the world, etc. I cannot believe how much damage has been done and yet people are really deceived into supporting Trump no matter what he says or does.Political Refugee from the Global Villagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523068770529814044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-6211273883467251352018-10-13T13:07:22.169+03:002018-10-13T13:07:22.169+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Political Refugee from the Global Villagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523068770529814044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-23314659848599300532018-10-13T12:21:19.898+03:002018-10-13T12:21:19.898+03:00Your friend suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrom...Your friend suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome.<br /><br />"Trump Derangement Syndrome is a term applied to describe liberals and progressives responding to statements and political actions by Trump in a manner verging on the irrational..."<br />Wiki<br /><br />Tomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355268309169462651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-48261152513473841782018-10-13T11:13:43.612+03:002018-10-13T11:13:43.612+03:00An American friend wrote this and posted it on Fac...An American friend wrote this and posted it on Facebook: <br /><br />"First let me say that I am center right for those that only know me socially. I used to be a Republican until they chose trump as the candidate for president.<br />Whether you support abortion rights or not Roe v Wade is a joke. A left wing take over by judicial fiat what could not be supported democratically. The left politicalized the supreme court to become a super legislative body for things that couldn't be enacted through the legislative process.<br />Still the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh is a terrible decision.<br />First I think he did it. This was not an accusation of date rape. It was not 2 drunk kids making out and the guy pushing it too far. This was a girl being pushed into a room against her will and being held down.<br />I have a daughter. I believe her.<br />As a man I was accused once of something I didn't do. Not with the public consequences of a supreme court hearing. But still unpleasant for me.<br />But I believe her.<br />Honestly I think he was too drunk to remember. But she wasn't.<br />And here is the thing. I want a center right justice. Someone who won't pretend that abortion or gay marriage is actually a right in the constitution.

For all the hate of president Bush no one came forward with accusations of sexual misconduct.

We don't know if he did it.<br />But we are absolutely certain he lied about drinking in high school and college.<br />Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about sex.<br />Brett Kavanaugh lied about drinking. We all know that.<br />Brett Kavanaughs testimony was unhinged partisan. It should have disqualified him.<br />I want a conservative justice who will apply the constitution. I don't want a partisan hack.<br />And I don't want a justice where the evidence suggests he is guilty of sexual assault.<br />So for my conservative friends- why? It wasn't like a choice between him and a liberal.<br />It was a choice between him and a conservative without a credible charge of sexual assault and an unhinged testimony before the Senate."Political Refugee from the Global Villagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523068770529814044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-54215072871321015622018-10-10T23:41:05.149+03:002018-10-10T23:41:05.149+03:00Anon, do you mean the traitor who used his injurie...Anon, do you mean the traitor who used his injuries from the fact that he crashed his plane to pretend he was tortured by the Vietcong when he was actually collaborating with the communists? <br /><br />McCain the man who did nothing his entire political career but shill for constant wars and open borders? <br /><br />A man who flew to Syria to meet with the ISIS butchers and leaders, and posed for a photo-op with them?

It is superficial, slightly offensive and reminds me of Sarah Palin or Donald Trump in terms of knowledge of the history of US. <br /><br />Maybe Sean Hannity needs a side kick - your paragraph qualifies you for that, since it is so oblivious to the facts : "Previous Republican presidents either nominated judges who turned out not to be conservative (Eisenhower nominated the former Republican Governor of California Earl Warren who turned out to be very liberal) or had their choices rejected by a Democrat controlled Senate (Reagan's choice, Robert Bork, for example)."<br /><br />You know that Scalia was nominated by Reagan, right ? Or that Thomas was nominated by Bush, correct ?<br /><br /><br />Republican Party and its voters have more to do with Fascism than democracy since 2008. This comes from a Romanian guy that cried when he heard years ago Reagan's speech about tearing down the Berlin Wall. What I have seen since the election of Obama it has been pure hysteria of fascists that continues to this day. <br /><br />I am an independent voter - but I saw the accused sex offender Al Franked resign from the Senate at the vigorous call of his Democrat colleagues. We have now a president accused sex offender, two Supreme Court justices that are accused sex offenders (Thomas and our frat boy "Devil's Triangle" Brett) - both nominated by Republican presidents, plus a former candidate (Roy Moore) accused of underage sex, but embraced by the Party of Trump. <br /><br />And call me old fashion - I believe any day somebody who takes a lie detector test. Your frat boy Brett seems to agree with this :<br /><br />https://abovethelaw.com/2018/09/remember-that-time-brett-kavanaugh-said-polygraphs-are-important-in-making-hiring-decisions/?rf=1<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-81810307066374664032018-10-08T21:10:52.190+03:002018-10-08T21:10:52.190+03:00I do.
