Gag Me With A Spoon

Trump and the White House have been steadfast in their support of Kavanaugh, who has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct. Trump said he has not thought of a replacement for Kavanaugh “even a little bit.”
But he also said Ford “looked like a very fine woman” during her testimony.
“It was an incredible moment, I think, in the history of our country,” He said. “But certainly she was a very credible witness. She was very good in many respects.”
These obscenely cynical comments from Trump should fool no one by now. But they’re being reported without context, which is equally obscene. Let’s provide some now. This is the actual way Donald Trump talks about women:
Trump slammed [Fox News host Megyn] Kelly, saying her questions were “ridiculous” and “off-base.”
“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes,” Trump told CNN’s Don Lemon on Friday night. “Blood coming out of her wherever.”
And I can easily find more sick, twisted things he’s said about women. So why is Trump pretending to be magnanimous to Blasey Ford? Two possibilities:
Either the fix is in for Kavanaugh to get confirmed or he’s cutting Kavanaugh loose so he can nominate another right wing lunatic… just one who can hold his liquor better. If there’s a third possibility, I can’t think of one.
