There is a republican governor of Massachusetts.i used to live in mass and the new england region (especially new hampshire and maine) arent as blue as people think. you have a mixture of people who are "socially liberal but fiscally conservative" () and straight up unabashed republicans making up maybe 25-40% of the states at any given time. if theres low liberal turnout it can create a perfect storm and get a rethug elected in congress or the governors mansion.

normally im not a fan of these "he did this 30 years ago" allegations, but id be glad to see this actually take kavanaugh down. this dude is a fukkin weasel 
his inability to answer "should a president have to answer a subpoena" was disgusting. not to mention he's obviously "pro life"

im from mass, and i'd say that describes mewhy the
in that case? don't tell me you're OK with how the government spends your fukkin money you're goddamn right im fiscally conservative
There is still hope he won't be confirmed?
Technically I guess so, but it's a wash.
Republicans will probably confirm Kavanaugh regardless because, well, they're Republicans and support party above all. But even if they don't, I can't imagine them not pushing somebody else through (that wouldn't be any better) before the end of the year.
Next president getting on the record..

cause a lot of those people think of those economic issues as more important. in my experience a lot of em voted for trump for economic policies and shyt like the supreme court, and will go
why the
at racism. also in general a lot of those same types who are "small government" will go 
at police brutality and the police state. like they only care about big government when it comes to the second amendment and taxation, but they dont care about 4th, 5th, 14th amendment violations. not saying thats you cause i know you dont fukk with cops but i have seen a lot of them like that.you from the northshore? i remember there being a lot of libertarian types in the small and midsized towns there.
thats not uncommon too, there was a gang of them before deval patrick was in office. mass republicans like mitt romney and charlie baker are less socially conservative and Mass has a lot of wealthy people who want lower taxes. plus governors elections there are in midterm years and dems dont normally get out the vote as much then.

to be fair, i think it was the picture that did Franken in. without that picture, i'm pretty confident he sticks around and weathers that storm
i had hoped he would run against trump in 2020 to be honest, he would have clowned the fukk out of him
Keep in mind though, even if Dems take the Senate (which is possible, if unlikely) they won't take control until January.
So the GOP would just rush someone through in the timeframe between midterms and January. Would they get a lot of shyt for it? Sure, but they won't care and would do it anyway (we saw what happened with Obama's nominee).
All I'm saying is we need to be realistic about the situation.
Rethugs are pathetic
