First post in a while my dudes, but I noticed while looking at the Trump tweet from earlier that "Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him" has a very different meaning in light of today's chaos. Before the nomination decision, I believed Trump was going to go with Amy Coney Barrett because her demographic status (female, mother of adopted and disabled children) would prevent the sort of attacks which are occurring now against Kavanaugh. But knowing now that he's going to be voted through, and seeing how royally foolish the Dems have made themselves appear with this stuff, it seems apparent to me that this bend-but-don't-break chaos was exactly the plan. This is the sort of stuff that makes the Dems untenable to a critically thinking moderate and swings midterms/general public opinion.
