Meet Ariel Dumas, an attractive young woman, pleasant appearing, perhaps likeable. Unfortunately, the truism that one cannot judge a book by its cover is embodied in Ms. Dumas, who, post-Kavanaugh, demonstrated a heart of stone, and the moral sensibilities of the average rattlesnake:
Ms. Dumas is a writer for the CBS “Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” so this failed attempt at wit should not be a surprise. Failure to be funny while working for Colbert is apparently not a disqualifier, quite the opposite, as this tweet reveals (note the relative time stamps):
Oh. This tweet was, as usual, quickly taken down, but many managed to screenshot it. But perhaps one shouldn’t judge Ms. Dumas too harshly?
And who are “we”? One might reasonably think them to be the self-imagined elite, intellectually and morally superior, chosen by the universe to bring destruction on anyone they are encouraged to hate.
The trauma caused the oh-so-hip and obviously edgy Ms. Dumas by the confirmation of one of the most qualified and experienced judges in history to the Supreme Court is, of course, all but unimaginable by God and gun clinging deplorables. The trauma experienced by the Kavanaugh family, and the damage done to the Senate and Supreme Court, are easily imaginable.
Notice Ms. Dumas sees things in terms of “me.” Oh, the unfathomable depths of her “frustration, anger and sadness”! Who have hearts so black that they do not weep for her and her “we”? She regrets not her gleeful delight in the wanton and unjustified destruction of the reputation of an innocent man, and any hope of future tranquility in the lives of his family, no. She regrets her sarcasm was not sharper and more representative of her superior state of being.
If she truly possessed a subatomic particle of morality, humanity, kindness or altruism, she would be admitting, without qualification that she was wrong, and apologizing not only to the Kavanaughs, but to the Almighty. This would, however, require her to recognize the cruelty, viciousness and ugliness of the ideology she embraces. The self-imagined elite, for all their exalted qualities, are incapable of that sort of introspection. This is far from all. Fox News reports
Dumas previously had quoted news analysis pieces criticizing Kavanaugh for saying the accusations had ‘destroyed’ him, including a piece that observed, ‘the bar for a man’s ruin is, apparently, quite low.’
Reached for further comment by Fox News, CBS said Dumas’ apology spoke for itself.
Yes. Yes it does. But perhaps there is yet hope for comity in the Senate, and for reconciliation among Americans generally? Fox News partially answers those questions:
Hogue is a Google executive, so his depraved hatred, and usurpation of the role of God should hardly be surprising. Like Dumas, he took down his tweet, and replaced it with this:
This is what passes for an apology on the Left. He should have spouted his venom more eloquently and with a bit less obviously flinging spittle. And who, pray tell, are “we,” and how can they do better? Succeed in more efficiently destroying innocent men and packing the Supreme Court with people determined to ignore the Constitution and the law?
But surely a former US Attorney General, a man sworn to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law will have some useful guidance?
Oh. Of course, Holder was arguably the most corrupt AG in American history, so any Supreme Court that does adhere to its constitutionally mandated role must be illegitimate. After all, Kavanaugh was confirmed by the usual order of the Senate and entirely within the law. How dare he?! And as to Judge Garland, no Senate Republicans viciously attacked him or his family. No Republicans protested at his home or threatened him or his family. The Senate merely followed long-standing tradition and regular order. The bastards.
What’s that you say? These are cherry picked examples? This isn’t the real Left? Powerline would disagree:
The Democratic Party is stark, raving mad. That is the lesson of the last two years. The Minneapolis Star Tribune headlines: ‘Rosemount educator on leave after tweeting ‘kill Kavanaugh?’ Well, yes, she is. Rosemount, for what it’s worth, is one town over from where I live. The Strib’s story is characteristically discreet:
A Rosemount special education teacher has been placed on paid administrative leave after posting a tweet Saturday that appeared to call for the killing of new U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The teacher [Samantha Ness], listed as an instructor at the Intermediate School District 917’s Alliance Education Center, has since deleted her Twitter account but her tweet was captured and shared by scores of users who said they reported it to the FBI and U.S. Secret Service.
If one is going to call for the murder of a Supreme Court justice, it’s generally considered–particularly for a teacher–poor form to misspell the encouragement to kill. Then again, one might consider any invocation to murder by a teacher of some small concern, which appears to be true even in Minnesota, as Fox News Reports:
A Minnesota special education teacher has resigned after she posted a message on Twitter exhorting her followers to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The teacher, identified by multiple social media users and local outlets as Samantha Ness, had been placed on paid administrative leave after the message was widely shared online.
I have only one question: teachers get to do hair and eyebrows like that in Minnesota? One can only pray her message did not lodge in the diseased brain of a Leftist willing and eager to carry out her wishes. Were I Judge Kavanaugh and Mrs. Kavanaugh, I’d be obtaining excellent handguns, excellent and continual training, and carrying them everywhere. I’d even carry a speargun in the shower and install claymores surrounding my home and car. Lawn landmines might be a nice touch too.
You will, I’m sure gentle readers, be delighted to hear Bill and Hillary Clinton are going on the road, lecturing about their wonderful reminiscences of their days in power, and explaining how America might yet be saved. They’re charging up to $700 a ticket. Who would not second mortgage their home for such an opportunity? Among the things Hillary has to say are:
Rep. Steve Scalise, the survivor of that kind of patriotic sentiment, and gentle encouragement, was not amused:
And of course, leftists had to bring up guns:
To answer Tigah, yes, they have indeed lost their minds. This was not all Clinton had to say on the subject:
Speaking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said, ‘That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.
Why of course the Democrats will demonstrate their good will, as they impeach President Trump, Justice Kavanaugh, and anyone else they possibly can in a display of dignity, decorum and civility. Let us continue to explore the intentions of the left with a visit to Portland, Oregon, courtesy of Legal Insurrection:
Antifa protesters blocked traffic and almost started a riot during a Saturday march and vigil for Patrick Kimmons, a black Portland man shot by police on September 30 after he allegedly shot two people and approached officers holding a gun.
‘Protesters Started a Riot in Downtown Portland!’ tweeted videographer Brandon Farley, who, according to his Twitter feed, records ‘disruptive events in downtown Portland, Oregon.’ The disturbing video shows protesters running down the street, and a group chasing an older white-haired man to his car…
‘Just go that way,’ a female protester told a driver who had rolled down his window to talk. When he purportedly asked why, she responded, ‘Because I told you to.’
‘Yeah brother, yeah you little white little f*er,’ a man, who appeared to be white himself, yelled while approaching the vehicle. ‘The First Amendment. Get the f* down the road.
Portland Police stood by, watched and did nothing. Orders from the leftist Mayor, no doubt in the spirit of civility.
The Left has learned nothing from the Kavanaugh debacle. They are incapable of feeling shame or regret, and are already asserting they were not nearly vicious and cruel enough. We know what they’ll do it they again gain political power. They’re telling us, for the first time, without concealment.
We conclude with one more indication of their intentions:
This Leftist thug makes a six-figure salary, and made a bonus last year of more than $20,000 dollars. Nice work–laboring to destroy our democratic institutions and seize ultimate power–if you can get it.
This, gentle readers, is the nature of the Democrat party. These are the people that would rule us, exposed as the brutal, heartless thugs without restraint they are by their own words and actions. They no longer feel the need to observe any boundaries, and their hatred for normal Americans is unquenchable and quite insane.
The America they seek to create has nothing to do with the Constitution, human rights, or the rule of law.
It’s time we planned, and acted, accordingly.
They’ve had their chance to show good will for the last 15 years, but I”ve not see it.
There was impeach Bush, then there was “election has consequences, eat whatever crap we feed you” through the Obama years that was all about division and identity politics.
What was done to Kavanaugh was not just politics, it was EVIL
Like I stated a few months ago, under NunnyaDayamBiddness, These occurrences are only happening in Blue areas, with TONS of Demonrats and minorities.
The MSM, will only show what they want the rest of us to see. These “people” are NOT mainstream, nor plentiful.This kind of behavior will not be tolerated outside of very specific Demonrat controlled enclaves.
As a fellow Texan, you know and understand this reality Mike. It is indeed disturbing to witness, but is in no way a threat to our Constitutional Republic, as it stands. These vermin will be disposed of as soon as their usefulness is expended.
It will be VERY easy to seal off the major cities and let these worthless “humans” eat each other.
At that point, Americans will rebuild and move on.
Nothing to see here, move along…..
I have no problem believing that we apparently have reached the tipping point for outright violence against these depraved party members. It may be necessary but first I think we ought to be very consistent in pointing out the two consecutive years of failure on the part of Democratic Party operatives (aka, anyone in elected office as a Democrat). They are failures, their insane methods are obviously self destructive and they are only holding on to credibility in the public’s mind because they’ve successfully distracted people from the magnitude of their failures. Rather than view their “antics” (theatrics, rage-driven statements, etc) as threats, I think we should realize it’s all driven by desperation, so real and so deep it reveals that they know how diminished, discredited and impotent they are.
During the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump consistently referred to many prominent Democrats (and some very watery Republicans) as “losers.” And I think he was right and I have reason to believe it was a conscious tactic directed at illuminating the then-apparent winners in the Democratic Party. It turned out they were not so “apparent winners” but obvious losers. They lost majorities in 33 state legislatures, they lost their majority in Congress, they lost 34 governors races. Their loss was MASSIVE but everyone still seems to think “they nearly won.” That’s how they make themselves seem still able to mount a successful program of any kind. They are not.
The other thing we all must do is to repetitively make clear that our right to self defense is the law of the land. The only legal circumstance for using lethal force is when one’s life and safety are under immediate threat. So far, may kids on the left believe they can physically assault anyone wearing a Trump cap or campaign button. This is only because many of us fail to realize that under proper circumstances and under proper procedures we have the legal right to self defense when someone assaults us. They cannot do one damned thing about our repeated public warning about this. I do think it would be a good idea if a national fund would be created to cover legal costs should anyone be charged by a leftist prosecutor for legally defending themselves. But there are insurance policies for this as well.
For the next 27 days, make clear in every way available to you these two things. (1) The Democrats have been and continue to be failures. (2) When assaulted, a citizen has the right to self defense. The public doesn’t want elaborate essays about how crazed the Democrats are. The voting public only carries an overall mental impression around and they carry it to the polls on election day.
Everything the Left says is PROJECTION. Everything.
Ms. Dumbass projecting that “Evil Brett” will make poor RBG fetch him coffee? The previous host of her show used to make the female writers sleep with him!
They say: Trump is colluding with RUSSIA.
They do: “Tell Vladimir I will have more flexibility after the election.” Perkins Coie/Fusion GPS: MI-6 and FSB Please Help us slime candidate Trump.
They say: Republicans are the party of the rich.
They do: Goldman Sachs staffs the Obama Whitehouse. The biggest Democrat donors are Wall Street, Google and Silicon Valley Tycoons, and Hollywood Millionaires.
Hillary Clinton says: Donald Trump cheats on his taxes.
Hillary Clinton does: Clinton Crime Foundation accepts millions for Haiti, builds a dozen houses, and pays for Chelsea’s Wedding.
Projection: Democrats accusing Republicans of crimes Democrats are actually committing.
Meanwhile, Ford has been nominated for a UNC distinguished alumna award. https://www.wral.com/ford-nominated-for-unc-distinguished-alumna-award/17904050/
According to the WRAL article:
—
“A nomination letter writes that the nomination shouldn’t be seen as partisan.
“There may be people reading this nomination letter who will take issue with Dr. Blasey Ford’s testimony or who may see this letter as an example of partisan politics,” the letter states. “But this letter nominating Dr. Blasey Ford is not about partisan politics: it is about recognizing that the simple act of speaking one’s truth, especially when that truth involves sexual assault, is an act of bravery.”
Criteria for the award is an alumnus or alumna who “has made an outstanding contribution to humanity in any walk of life,” according to the UNC Office of Faculty Governance.” Up to five awards may be presented annually.”

What? The “simple act of speaking one’s truth”? What does that even mean? You can make sh..tuff up and its suppose to be treated as unquestionable truth? I would not expect anything less from UNC.
“Simple act of speaking one’s truth,” translated from Newspeak means, “Lies we progressives want to believe.”
Wasn’t another famous rape hoaxer Crystal Mangum, of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Hoax, a one time UNC student too?
BTW, Crystal is currently in prison for murdering her boyfriend.
There is no such thing as “one’s truth,” “my truth,” or “your truth.” There is only THE truth. Anything else is at best speculation, and at worst intentional lying.
Good. I decided it was too much trouble to decide on MY truth, besides remembering THE truth, and PC truth… I don’t have that kind of ambition
Dear Tom:
But what about “fake but accurate?”
