I am so old that I can remember watching the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings on TV and Biden's smarm and mediocrity back then oozed out through the invisible cables onto my living room carpet, and yet every Republican Senator I can think of, from then to now, has called Biden a decent compassionate man of integrity.

So of course here we are. Everyone in DC protected him even when he was and remains their political opponent because of course as you do often emphasize, one way or another, they are all dirty, or if not personally so, their clubby friends are.

Anyway I can't wait for the shrieking when Trump starts pardoning and I sure hope he starts from Day One.

IтАЩve seen the clips from the Thomas confirmation, with Joe Biden doing this weird, тАШyou know that I know, and I know that you knowтАЩ routine on him. Clarence Thomas is looking at Biden, like WTF. Later, I saw Clarence Thomas being asked about that exchange, and he scoffed, and said he didnтАЩt know what Joe Biden was even talking about. Joe Biden has always been a wretched man.

Joe Biden doesn't know WTH Joe Biden's talking about.

In those hearings I thought Anita Hill, who was a reluctant witness, was credible and dignified, and Democrats howling about Clarence Thomas ever after have always had Biden to thank for him on the Supreme Court.

Conservatives screaming about black people who claim racism as the cause of everything do not seem to have been troubled by Thomas whining about a "high-tech lynching."

Well, President Obama did say to never underestimate Joe's ability to eff things up.

For which we must be, from the moment PA was called, ever grateful.

So you believe an unhinged Anita Hill claiming that Judge Thomas talked about women having sex with animals? Ya right. I think your comment is as unhinged as Anita HillтАЩs claims. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5xD2FVyMGQ0

That's the beauty of a free speech platform. We can say what we like.

There are laws against slander and libel. Unfortunately when you are well known, those lies are juried by the mainstream media who is ferociously biased against Conservatives.

I will never forget those despicable Thomas hearings, either. I'm just a little too young to have paid close attention to the equally dreadful Bork hearings.

It's possible you and I have different viewpoints on the despicable part.

The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.

I don't imagine them as any different from what they are.

But many do. For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.

Considering that a majority of the world's population claims belief in the tenets of Middle Eastern blood sacrifice cults...

Christianity is a Middle Eastern blood sacrifice cult too. As is the mother faith.

No need to wait!

Check out the comment section on the latest Bulwark article (or really, donтАЩt -why do I do this to myself?!). The backflips and cartwheels to justify BidenтАЩs decision make Cirque de Soleil look like amateurs.

I haven't had my mug of tea yet. My stomach will not be equal to a visit to The Bulwark so early.
