You just can't top this kind of stupid

CNN reports that "Trump has grown increasingly dissatisfied with the way Brett Kavanaugh has defended himself." He's "become increasingly agitated and animated," he believes the nominee appeared "wooden" in his "This Is My Life" Fox News interview Monday night, and that he "should have been more aggressive" — all of which "has led the President to believe that he must personally take charge of defending his embattled nominee."

Here, though, is the more revelatory — or should I say familiar? — part of the CNN story:

"Trump addressed the matter again Wednesday, minutes before he chaired the Security Council meeting, remarking he would have pushed Kavanaugh's nomination through the Senate two weeks ago if he were responsible for the proceedings. 'They could have pushed it through two weeks ago and we wouldn't be talking about this right now, which is what I would have preferred,' said Trump."

I've no doubt Trump would have done just that: He would have rammed through Kavanaugh's confirmation — and then been left with a wounded, crippled, forever-stained Supreme Court nominee, once the current allegations came to light, which they most assuredly would have.

That is Trump in brief: reckless, rash, foolhardy, imprudent, careless — and stupid. Even knowing (as of yesterday) what his opponents' next move would have been — the exposition of multiple sexual-assault allegations — Trump still insisted he would have executed a hurried confirmation, and thereby put his and Kavanaugh's neck in a noose.

The severely limited cognition of this clown is absolutely unfathomable.

Trump would have "rammed" through the nomination, and Mitch McConnell promised to "plow" through the confirmation. So basically they are trying to force Kavanaugh on the American people against their will. Just like rape.

"The attitude from the Republican party seems to be that we don’t care how many accusers come forward; we don’t care to have a real investigation; we don’t care that most people think he is another sexual predator; we don’t care that a majority of Americans don’t think he should be on the Court; we don’t care that it’s clear Kavanaugh is a serial liar; we are going to ram this nomination through and you can’t stop us. It’s dominance politics at its most extreme." -- https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/9/26/1798863/-Kavanaugh-Confirmation-Is-Simply-GOP-Dominance-Politics

Yes, it's Dominance Politics, and if the old, white men in the GOP have to ram Kavenaugh down the throats of every woman in the country to get their man, they're perfectly willing to do it. American women, however, aren't going to swallow it.

It is not often that I completely disagree with PM. In this case I must. Trump is completely fathomable. With an intellect as deep as a puddle how could he not be? It's the adult body that fools people.
