It’s all over but the shouting. (but there’s a lot of that to still be done)
Here’s a list I compiled the day before Kavanaugh was sworn in. Some people think that with his confirmation, the Left will go on their merry way, but we know better, don’t we? At the time of this being posted, a few of these have already been done or are ongoing. Which ones have you seen? Just for fun, let me know how many you’ve seen, then come back to this page from time to time in the coming weeks and see how many we can check off.
What to expect next:
-
The Media will say:
-
“Kavanaugh was confirmed under a cloud of suspicion”
-
“…was under FBI investigation for sexual assault”
-
-
The Democrats:
-
Will call for further investigation
-
Will demand that he recuse himself in cases of sexual assault, women’s rights issues.
-
Attempt to impeach Kavanaugh
-
Fundraise on appointment
-
-
The Left:
-
“Occupy SCOTUS” demonstrations
-
Some sort of demonstration aimed at physically preventing Kavanaugh from being sworn in and seated
-
-
Continued threats against senators who voted “yes”.
-
The State of the Union speeches can sometimes be tedious and predictable. There will be the long list of achievements that the President wants to highlight, coupled by an even longer laundry list of things he wants to Congress to act on. They’re full of soaring rhetoric, with each president making an obvious effort to get in that one, memorable line that will be quoted ad nauseam later that night and the next day. This year however, with President Trump, things promise to be a little more entertaining. When Trump speaks, you can never be quite sure what you’re going to get. Still, there will be the usual SOTU trope: The long introduction with the President working the reception line, the call outs by the President to guests in the chamber who he thinks personify a certain virtue, or a the need for a certain pet program. The camera will inevitably cut to shots of some general or admiral when the talk turns to defense, the Supreme Court when a decision of theirs is mentioned, or the relevant cabinet secretary, whenever the speech refers to something they’ve or their department have done or might do.
The 2016 presidential debates promise to be something extra special. The debates will be a battle royal between two heavy weights (metaphorically speaking) for the political championship of the world. If you’ve paid any attention at all to the race so far, you may have heard some of the favorite words and phrases from each of the candidates. You may be sick of hearing them, so here’s a fun way to reward yourself for having to hear them again, and again, and again….
