***OFFICIAL*** Kavanaugh Judiciary Committee Hearing Watch Thread (PART V)

POLYGRAPH!!!!!

Ted, shut up! Your time was up long time ago.

Kav ain’t getting in

5 MINUTES !

Who IS that broad??

FEAR OF FLYING !

Now they are arguing about THE LETTER.

Soon...

R1... She looks like she smelled a stinky fart.. probably by Kav, with his unhinged nerves.

Kamala!

HERE WE GO !

Harris now...

Here comes Harris

wtf has this to do with anything?

This is like edging my cock for nine hours...only the release is a letdown.

This is killing me. THIS is why women don’t come forward.

HARRIS FOR THE KILL!

The grimacing, the tightly drawn lips, the interruptions, the making faces, the passing notes, the fake doodling with the sharpie, and the inability to sit still, and the CONSTANT WATER DRINKING (what's he had now, about 6 liters?)

All indicative of a lying, evasive, substance abusing DICK.

I am here for Harris

BRING IT HOME, KAMALA!

His blinking tic went into overdrive when he agreed to a polygraph test. He's so douchy.

And I thought that the Kav part of this hearing would be shorter than the Ford part.

Wrong once again.

Ask him to say YES OR NO!!

Kamala: "So I'm gonna ask you one more time. And you better have the right answer muthafucka!"

I hate both of my senators with the heat of a million suns.

Damn, she can be a real bitch.

Glad she's on our side.

She just did

YES OR NO !!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll take that as a no! And he didn't argue her conclusion.

The Committee will approve him on party lines, that’s obvious. Probably tomorrow. What’s still up is what the full Senate does, and that’s down to Collins and Murkowski, and maybe Flake and Corker, and how they respond to this hearing, and the other 2 accusers.

[quote]I hate both of my senators with the heat of a million suns.—Texan

So do we, hon.

he looks so fucking uncomfortable. if he were clean he wouldnt be.

what's with the sniffing too.

They need to say to Kavanaugh, unless you are willing to answer in the affirmative, they we have to consider your answer a no.

She can be a bitch but she is all business and tough

Now you know damned well that if it was someone else in HIS court purposely evading questions as he is doing today, he'd throw the whole fucking law library at them

What does "ranking" mean in reference to Feinstein?

Kav's not so smug and argumentive now, is he? She's got him rattled.

Great question with the parallelism with Gorstch.

We need more Kamalas

What is Alyssa Milano doing in the audience?

A friend said he was sobbing yet their were no tears. The only moisture on his face was sweat. Is this true?

KAV IS WASTING DEM TIME NOW.

She’s has seniority, R36.

"ranking" means she is the top Democrat.

She is the most senior member of the minority party.

Here is fake Flake

How well do you think Harris did? Anyone?

Ms. Harris is up! Here it goes:

1. Have you taken a polygraph?

- They are not admissible.

2. All 3 of the women have made sworn allegations against you have called for FBI investigations. You've been asked 8 times if you'd authorize an FBI investigation. Each time you declined. I'm going to ask you one last time - will you ask the WH to have the FBI investigate you?

- I'll do what the committee wants.

2a. No, I heard you say that already. I am asking about the FBI bitch.

- The FBI would gather witness statements...

2b. I am not debating the FBI's process with you. Are you willing to ask the WH to do it - yes or no.

- I had 6 background investigations over many years.

2c. Are you willing to do it?

- The witness statements...

2d. Ok that's a no - moving on.

3. Neil Gorsuch was nominated by this president. You're both very similar, except for the charge of sexual assault. How do you claim there is a conspiracy against you when we let Gorsuch through

- Already explained in my opening statement.

4. Can men be friends with some women and treat other women badly?

- Of course, but the point I've been emphasizing is that if you go back to age 14 for me, you will find lots of people I've been friends with (women) who talked about my friendships with them and it's a consistent pattern. 65 women who knew me over 35 yrs ago signed a letter to support me because they know me. I've sent more women to the supreme court than anyone else.

5. Did you watch Dr. Ford's testimony?

- I did not. I plan to. I was preparing mine.

Love to Kamala!!

You were saying about that signed letter of support, Brett?

She could have been much stronger.

I love Kamala , kamala/beto 2020?

Love Harris. The Kamala pose. “You lying piece of shit.” pose.

Harris' face and demeanor spoke more than her mouth did - her look said it all "You're full of shit, Judge"

She did OK in my view, but no KO.

So Flake just laid the ground work for confirmation. We are all flawed.....

Everytime I see Flake's face, I want to throw a hard right punch at his nose to straighten it out. Never more than right now.

I think she did well, r47. It is perfectly clear that he does NOT want the FBI to investigate under any circumstances.

She didn't do anything, R47. She just sat there at the end and made a bitch face while he went on.

2nd R52.

Oh the God card!

Kennedy now.. trying to be meaningful and bringing up God.

I demand Sen. John Kennedy change his name -- he does not deserve such a great name!

Awwwkwarrrrd

Who's this old lesbian?

Do you believe in God?

it's a yes or no !!!!!!!!!!

Who’s the gal in OP's pic?

She proved again he won't let the FBI anywhere near him.

In United States politics, a ranking member is the most senior member of a congressional or state legislative committee from the minority party. On many committees the ranking minority member, along with the chairman, serve as ex officio members of all of the committee's subcommittees.

I can hear Flake now, "I have examined my conscience and I cannot condemn my fellow Man."

Now GOD gets brought into this.

She pointed out the obvious that needed to pointed out: you can be friends with some women and treat others like shit.... just like you can be great with some kids, and molest others. Just because didn't rape or molest every person you came into contact with doesn't mean you didn't do it!

So tired of God....as If you say that you believe, you are innocent. A man of faith never sins....fuck you!

Politico is saying Trump is loving his angry defiance. They’re going to back him and he’s going to get through. Kamala was nothing spectacular. We really don’t have anyone. Christ, we are FUCKED if thisnis what we have to look forward to in 2020.

Pandering to the evangelicals...

God's embarrassed to be brought into this.

I'm not sure which was Flake is going to go... This idea of doubt I think favours him voting against.

There is no god. Only people that try to believe in god. WTF does believing in god have to do with anything?

Maura Tierney doesn't look happy

And it's over.

Senator Haney, R63.

WTF? GOD?

He is a broken record. If Avenatti files criminal charges against him he will shit.

swore to God... well, there ya go...

well now they're pandering to those repub women who believed their husbands when told they must have picked up ghonorhea from a door knob - you know - the dummies

Not watching this shitshow. Cannot stomach this.

I'd vote for Haney over Cruz.

Cross your fingers and hope to die????

DID YOU JUST HEAR SOMEONE SAY " WHAT THE HELL" AFTER IT WAS CALLED TO AN END? LOL!

Ugh OVER. What a shitshow. His must have been given a dissolvable benzo under the tongue during one of the breaks to tone him down.

r87, it's over.

Most people will only see clips of testimony from both. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

What's the most painless way to end it all?

I was waiting for Kennedy to Triple-dog dare him

r84, I hope he does.

So nothing changes, am I correct?

Repugs will vote him in, Dems will be angry, and we'll all continue to hate each other.

Protests, Protests, Protests.

Midterms will come along, one side will complain about voting interference, and we move on.

And fucking Dump is still in the WH.

Just another day at the office for the repubs. He'll be confirmed in the morning.

The only opinions that really matter are Senators Flake, Corker, Collin, Murkowski, and a few Democratic Senators in states Trump won who are up for re-election like Donnelly, Manchin, Testor.

That God play will probably work.

I hope that no matter what happens, Christine Ford is TIME's Person Of The Year.

R100, because we live among idiots.

I have heard Avenatti may file state charges. After this, please do it Avenatti,

Durbin really stood out today. I can get behind Durbin 2020!!!

Booker was the star

Where Collins and Murkowski? What’s their staus?

If Avenatti has any moves left, he’d better do it now!

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him. His testimony was powerful, honest, and riveting. Democrats’ search and destroy strategy is disgraceful and this process has been a total sham and effort to delay, obstruct, and resist. The Senate must vote!

5:46 PM - 27 Sep 2018

Cornyn is saying the committee will meet and vote tomorrow because the longer they wait, the more allegations will come forward. WTF

Flake totally gave his excuse as to why he will vote to confirm tomorrow. "We are all flawed and imperfect...."

... but did he pinky swear... that's what really counts.

Harris should've interrupted him.

I just wanted to say that threatening violence just makes us look bad at this point, as does the casual racism on display. In fact, I don't believe it is because as a troll, I recognize other trolls and this thread is full of them.

The democrats are doing respectable, I'm glad they're not hysterical. If this country goes down, none of them can stop it anyway. History will at least remember who started the fall of the American Empire and it won't be us.

Why if the committee is 21 members were there not 21 senators there?

[Bold] AGAIN, blame all your family and friends for voting repub, not voting dem or not voting at all! THIS is THEIR FAULT!

Leahy brief but damning on CNN right now.

What a shit show.

What happens if a Supreme Court judge has to go to jail while on the bench? lol

Sure, bring up God in the end - cuz priests certainly never committed any sex crimes.

This guy will lie about fucking everything

[quote]Democrats’

So was Orangina going for an apostrophe s and missed the mark?

Repubs have ALWAYS USED, I repeat USED God as a political ploy. Seriously, they USE God like one might use any sort of device to strengthen their position or resolve. Totally transparent. They know they're full of shit. And so does God.

maybe it was frotting, and that's why he considers himself a virgin until later in life, and he doesn't think frotting is assault....

Forget Jr, Eric, and Ivanka, Trump's real mini-me has been found, it's BRETT KAVANAUGH.

Yep, R119. The God card is a dog whistle for Evangelicals to look the other way. Enabled by republicans, the party of evangelicals and child molesters -- and the shitheads who vote for them.

Interesting...

"Fox News host Chris Wallace said Thursday that two of his daughters revealed in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that they endured previously undisclosed incidents when they were in high school.

"Wallace said his daughters brought up their experiences as the family was discussing the allegations against Kavanaugh over email.

"[They] hadn't told their parents, I don't know if they told their friends. Certainly had never reported it to police," Wallace said on Fox News during coverage of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford.

Why didn't they ask Kavanaugh if he thought Clinton had paid off Ford since he implied that Clinton was behind the whole thing - really, Pizzagate territory.

[quote]So the poor little rich frat party boy is the real victim? The fake righteous indignation was nauseating. But he did succeed in eliminating all doubt that he's a partisan hack.

[quote]Justices of the peace treat drunks being arraigned with more respect than he exhibited to Senators.

- Wash Post comments

I don't believe he didn't watch her testimony

At this point I am convinced that if there is a God he is going to let Americans suffer the Consequences of voting in the Orange Turd.

Ari Melber on MSNBC now, shirt unbuttoned showing a hint of hairy chest!

Yrah, he hesitated before responding, r129.

WSJ originally reported Kavanaugh was watching Ford testify.

[quote]Among those watching Dr. Ford’s testimony was Judge Kavanaugh, a committee aide said, from a monitor in another room in the Dirksen Senate Building, where he awaits the opportunity to tell his side of the story later today.

It's 1789 all over again!

^^^Yeah

Was it all worth it idk, at least bk is suffering well that's some comfort.

If he did watch her testimony, it can easily be proven with a photo.

If they can't provide a photo, it'll be more fodder to paint him as a leftwing target. He did stutter before answering if he watched.

History repeating, R134? Our current national circumstances are rather similar to those of pre revolutionary France.

The US is a hard right country unfortunately. They are unstoppable. The rest of us are going to have to ride the elevator to the bottom with them. Be prepared to lose everything you’ve ever worked for.

[quote]maybe it was frotting, and that's why he considers himself a virgin until later in life, and he doesn't think frotting is assault....

That was brought up to him.

Unfortunately I think all the Repubs will close ranks and vote him in.

The GOP is hoping for a 7/2 Supreme Court when Trump is done. This has been their dream for decades.

FREE MITCHELL!

This is why cretins like Susan Sarandon and Bernie Bros and the lot have to be shunned in society. They're brain dead and don't understand what's at stake that these are lifetime positions. Republicans have always known this and that's why they vote in midterm elections.

Who hesitates on that question? Did you watch Dr. Ford's testimony? An easy answer yet the lying liar just answer easily. FFS

Do NOT STOP THE PRESSURE. Do. Not. Stop.

r144, Mitchell is fine, I saw her in the hallway leaving at the end.

Yes, r139 but we { libs } will continue to be nice and enable those in our lives who support trump and the repubs. And why is that? Because like dems we are pussies and don't want to causes any problems. Pathetic!

Just saying.

Exactly some people are just too dumb to see the big picture when it comes to this sort of stuff r145. Complaining that Clinton wasn't the perfect candidate, there are no perfect candidates, there are two options of people who will wield immense power and have serious consequences.

If you didn't realize how important it was that the person was not Trump you are a fool, it was known he would have Supreme Court picks.

When you listen to an asshole ask "Why didn't you come forward before?" play them this:

Now Kav can have his BEER!!!!

I can't wait for all the poor and middle class republicans to lose everything when the GOP begins their REAL goal. Not just Roe v Wade, gay marriage, etc (that's just so voters will continue to come out), but all the stuff that helps protect workers and the little people. They want their donors as rich as possible and that comes at the expense of the poor and middle class, and it'll be even easier going forward now that technology has progressed so far and yet our laws are so far behind.

[quote]I hope that no matter what happens, Christine Ford is TIME's Person Of The Year.

I have a feeling it'll be a mashup of the Resistance and the Parkland students, especially if the Blue Wave hits this November.

Dr. Ford was polite, answered each question she was asked, and just spoke her truth.

Judge Kavanaugh was combative, tried to avoid answering questions, and told several obvious lies (The Renate refereces were not sexual in nature! Devil's Triangle is a drinking game!).

It could not have been more night and day, and who came off more as a more credible person is obvious.

This will reverberate on forever. Dems did a good job in a sticky situation.

It’s not dems fault if he gets confirmed. They gave it their best.

Damn that was triggering and I've never been sexually assaulted. I'm going to smoke some pot and do some sweaty yoga to get rid of this foul mood, so I can pour myself a half bottle of red and watch Rachel in two hours.

After watching the YouTube hallway feed, I have decided that the best place in America to do some great manwatching is the halls of Congress.

Still not clear to me how this shakes out.

The longer this goes on, the less likely he gets confirmed.

bullshit, r156.

ok so what is devil's triangle really?

R161 - mmf threesome.

He showed his temper.

And his dishonesty.

I have to tip my pimp hat to this real GANGBANGA!!!

R139, I’ll hold your cig while you slit your wrists.

Yes straight guys consider it the "bad" threesome because it has two guys rather than two girls.

There is not a drinking game called Devil's Triangle, I did get plenty black out in college and know my drinking games well.

[quote]Still not clear to me how this shakes out.

There are really only two people who know how this shakes out. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. Whether he gets confirmed rest in their hands.

R159, it's going to shake out that Kav's confirmed and women will be more afraid than ever to report sexual assault. And Trump will still be president.

Imagine if you came in for a job interview and sobbed and yelled and kept saying how much you liked beer

Most of the YT psychics say he won't be confirmed but now I'm not sure.

there's no convincing the deplorables sadly. I heard some of them speak today...

they think Ford isn't credible because she said hates flying but would fly on occasion for vacation

they think Ford isn't credible because she didn't get as emotional as Kavanaugh.

they think Kavanaugh is credible because he was passionate and angry

they think an FBI investigation would only "tear him apart and smear him further"

they think Ford isn't credible because she "waited almost 40 years" to speak publicly about this

and on and on and on

CNN is reporting that there are still moderate Democrats that haven’t made up their minds yet.

I just saw a short clip of Kavvy ranting about a "Little Lisa, who is so wise for a 10-year-old?"

What in the actual fuck just happened?

r169 and ranted incoherently about your beautiful calendars for 40 minutes.

r170 seriously? psychics aren't real. And YT is not a news source. Pick up a text book sometime.

[quote]Imagine if you came in for a job interview and sobbed and yelled and kept saying how much you liked beer

You can get away with that when you're a white, conservative male. In fact, you immediately get a raise.

I didn't watch the hearings, the blatant lying was too much for me. Was K really belligerent, upset and shouting? That alone should be a disqualifying factor.

Why does drooler and spitter Manu Raju still on CNN??

He is a judge. Bet he wouldn’t let anyone act like he did in his courtroom. Contempt!

[quote]HIGH DRAMA: Flake, Collins, Murkowski and Manchin - the senators who will determine whether Brett Kavanaugh gets a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court - are privately huddling NOW.

yes r176

[quote]they think an FBI investigation would only "tear him apart and smear him further"

Yet their love for law enforcement is always on display when minorities are subject to investigations. Fucking KKK assholes.

r176, he shouted for the first solid hour, if not longer, attacking the committee for the horrors they'd put him through and he was hostile and awful and screamy with all the dems and would cut them off to ramble about basketball every time they managed to squeak 3 words out. He behaved like a completely unhinged lunatic.

or Hillary r181

Does anyone know of a DL thread has ever gone to a five parter before? This site's been on fire today.

Thanks to all of you for keeping me company while watching.

Exactly, R183

r184, you sound new here.

Well, now that he was so shouty, I'm thinking that maybe Leslie Jones should play him on the SNL skit

R177, WHAT is that guy's talent? He get prime air time but looks like a Dominican elf (nothing against Dominicans) and has a speech impediment. WTF? Is he some kind of investigative genius?

All that shouting and heightened emotion... and remember.. this is Brett SOBER! Think about that!

We used to get threads this active all the time.

But the latest format change ran off a ton of posters for some reason. And then the Britebart crew came with all the tranny and European posts and that did a few more in.

R186, I've been reading and posting here since 1999. What makes me sound new?

omg just dared to flip on Lou Dobbs for an insta second. His caption:

[quote] Kavanaugh defends himself against Dimms' smear campaigns

and they showed side by side photos of Hirono, Blumenthal and Booker

Can't wait for Rachel and Lawrence tonight.

BUT HE CRIIIIIIED!!!!

Thanks R180 and R182.

I hope the clips are all over the news tonight.

Smear campaigns? No one attacked him r192. Everyone treated him with respect, more respect than he gave the Dem senators in return.

Rubin: You know who is unnerved by this? Sen. Collins who never saw this side of him, thought he was a mild mannered guy and now sees his explosive anger.

.......

Reports were that Collins wanted Judge subpoenaed r197, even before this hearing she supposedly had serious doubts.

[quote] omg just dared to flip on Lou Dobbs for an insta second. His caption:

[quote]Kavanaugh defends himself against Dimms' smear campaigns

This old fool actually used "Dimms"? How fucking old is he? Is the GOP now just all really old men with the maturity of a 7th grader?

Miss Lindsey thought she was being Julia Sugarbaker telling them off.

He's a nutjob. He's also a cry baby. You can't tell me Trump approves of cry babies?

Anyone know what the reactions have been? Do people think his "performance," helped him or hurt him?

I needed that laugh, R201.

You know what we need now? Someone to get a confession from Judge. He seems really stupid and controlled by Catholic guilt, easily manipulated.

R200 yes. I do flip on Fox during a big news story just because I like to see how they're framing the narrative. Obviously I don't watch that channel to get my news though. Lou Dobbs says "Dimms" and uses it in his show captions all the time instead of Democrats or even Dems.

Men don't cry unless they really wanna get laid.

Miss Lindsey picked up on it, and went off the rails to defend a potential suitor.

Guys Graham doesn't want to fuck Kav.

Kav is like 40 years too old for Miss Graham.

Another journalist reports that the people who decide the Supreme Courts fate are meeting

[quote]Now: Collins, Murkowski, Flake and Manchin are meeting. Can confirm.

Absolutely. Kavanaugh is a prime candidate for blackmail and bribery. He has a severe drinking problem, money problems caused by gambling issues and has all these people from his high school and college years swearing that he also has anger and aggressive behavior problems, particularly against women, especially when he drinks. All his debts were mysteriously paid off when his name was placed on the Republicans wish list for the supreme court. He is being considered for a well paying, lifetime job with virtually no chance of being fired. All he has to do is promise to vote the way the republications in charge ask and he is set for life. I am sure there is an ongoing payment plan for him in exchange for his following the republican party wishes on all supreme court decisions. I am sure he was promised a quick approval for the supreme court seat and that all his dirty laundry would be hushed up and all evidence of it withheld from the information provided to the members of congress. It is a perfect solution to all his problems and Republicans can be sure of a puppet on the court who will always do their bidding as long as they protect him and keep paying him off. None of this was discussed. None

If anyone is depending on Susan Collins to ever do the right thing they'll be very disappointed.

Lindsay Graham is a piece of shit.

Her and Murkowski sunk the Trumpcare bullshit r11, occasionally, very occasionally, it happens.

R208 what a stupid thing to say.

Ms. Lindsay like it any which way she can get it.

Trust me, I know.

Graham is into daddies.

WTF!

No wonder trump likes him.

We can play the numbers game, too. Kavanaugh can be impeached after the midterms. After formal charges have been brought against him in Maryland by Ford and others.

Lock him up.

[quote]R173 I just saw a short clip of Kavvy ranting about a "Little Lisa, who is so wise for a 10-year-old?" What in the actual fuck just happened?

It’s LIZA, with a Z!

That’s his daughter. She suggested they all pray for Dr. Ford, the accuser.

Also the number of times Rethugs brought up Avenatti and tried to discredit him....

It shows how scared they are of him.

Did you notice his barely veiled sneer when Hirono reminded him that this was a job interview and that he wasn't entitled to anything? His face said, "That's what you think..."

To be fair, does anyone like the blowhard avenatti anymore?

r221, yeah, everyone here but you and the russian incels.

Who the hell keeps calendars from high school for 35 years? Yeah you went to Yale, doesn't preclude you from being a lying, drunken, misogynist, compromised douchebag who's the walking definition of wealthy white male privilege. Fuck you and anyone who votes to confirm you.

R213. Her and Murkowski.

Oh, dear.

So I just saw a replay of Ford talking about their laughter and I was moved to tears.

Fucking Republicans. They are soulless. I've defended some moderates on the board (to my cost). Never again, even when I think the individual deserves it. Not if they affiliate with that party. It is soulless.

Retweeted MarjorieDannenfelser

Look at this photo conservative voters in WV, ND, IN, FL, MO, MT, MI, TN, AZ, NV

Mitchell was doing a decent job. The Republican Senators flipped on her to attack Dems and fawn over Kavanaugh in a damage control effort.

I don't need to like him r221, he has been a powerful thorn in the side of the right. That's ultimately what is important.

Yes, we do, R221.

Is it a Ruble per question?

Collins voted against Obamacare repeal because she knew it would affect thousands of her Maine constituents, and she was contemplating running for governer. Now she’s abandoned that idea, so is free to. One with her fellow Rape-ublicans.

Collins et al. aren't huddling over whether he's competent, they're huddling to discuss whether they can confirm Kavanaugh and still be safe when they return to their home towns, and/or be reelected if they vote yes.

It doesn't matter that he's unfit.

If any of those four are your Senators, contact their offices now.

Yes, I'm sure in his calendars he wrote, "Tried to Rape 2 girls tonight. Going to try to Gang Rape another tomorrow.

WOW, R226. But is there any of it surprising?

I don't get it, r226. What’s in that photo?

[quote]If anyone is depending on Susan Collins to ever do the right thing they'll be very disappointed.

Agreed. She is a spineless ditherer, stumbling around looking for someone to help her rationalize what she knows she should not do.

What am I missing in R226?

LOL!

"Lindsey Graham hasn't been that mad since his Grindr top showed up on meth"

R234 I'm guessing 3 POC?

r234 people who have skin in shades the KKKGB hates.

Non white Democratic Senators, R234.

Is Waldo hidden somewhere at r226? I don't see anything odd in it.

I would guess the conservatard quoted in r226 is upset at the non-whites on the Senate.

Kavanaugh is going to sail through from this point forward.

[quote]R205 You know what we need now? Someone to get a confession from Mark Judge. He seems really stupid and controlled by Catholic guilt, easily manipulated.

If he’s sober, he’s probably in AA, which urges members to live with “scrupulous honesty.”

BUT....he’s probably the type of arrogant former drunk who doesn’t want a program “dictating” process to him, and made up his own program (if his exists at all)

R21:8 Religious freaks pray for others to come to their way of thinking not for their well-being. Just more fuckery that accompanies bible thumping.

r244 lol that was not the performance of a sober person

Not an single ounce of legit evidence from the crazy coffee lady and yet people wonder why someone choose the cast doubts on the circus.

He's not sober. He stated he still loves BEER!

So the Rape-publicans win another?

So he lied about not watching Prof Ford's testimony. WSJ reporting.....

Matt Schlapp, right-wing fuck that he is, is tweeting out a picture of the three non-white Senators and saying "Look, aren't you afraid of them, remember to vote for good white Republicans in November or you will put them in charge".

It is pure racism, barely hidden.

That is what r226 is saying.

Wow! I run to the gym and come back to PART FIVE of this thread! Ya'll rock!

Even at the gym, people were glued to the TVs.

win over false accusation is not that hard. Thomas C did it once

Under his eye.

I'd practically forgotten Manchin. A lot of his supporters are also Trumpsters and they want him to vote yes, so his reelection really is on the line.

Do you like beer? What do you drink, senator?

Hypothetical question here....

In Kavanaugh's courtroom, would he believe the defense of someone who said, "But, Judge, that [crime] is not in my calendar. That proves I wasn't there."

[quote]R234 I don't get it. What’s in that photo?

People of Color with authority.

It’s terrifying to the Repugs. They want Those People voted out.

MANCHIN: we are all undecided.

So those four are gonna vote for Kav, huh.

Of course he will be confirmed.

But the Repugs will have hell to pay. Fuck them and their disgusting, treasonous ways.

He lies all the fucking time r250, he was lying through his teeth multiple times today.

Him sitting on the Supeme Court would be a national disgrace.

[quote]R246 lol that was not the performance of a sober person

Right, Kavanaugh is obviously a lifelong drunk.

It’s the missing witness Mark Judge who’s (supposedly) sober.

Repugs won't "pay" anything.

Doesn't work, r257 because today's testimonies weren't a trial.

Hold up.

Graham said that Ford is just as much a victim in all of this as Kavanaugh. A victim of what? If she’s a partisan liar who made this all up to take down a good man, how is she a victim?

Or is he suggesting that Ford’s been victimized by Democrats through some kind of brain washing campaign? They just happened to find someone who hung out with him back in the day and did some kind of mind control voodoo on her?

Nope. Miss Lindsay’s bloomers are in a plug because poor Ford didn’t get her claims investigated fast enough. In other words, she’s telling the truth and has been let down by the process. It’s bizarre that no one has grilled Graham on this.

[quote]I would guess the conservatard quoted in [R226] is upset at the non-whites on the Senate.

EXACTLY!

"White people be very afraid! You will be governed by the Hawaiian, the nigger, and the negress..."

MANCHIN, after exiting meeting w Collins, Murkowski, Flake: I have nothing to say. We are friends.

What did he think of the hearing?: "I thought both were credible"

I never saw any tears, r41. Anyone else? I don't have a flatscreen.

Interesting, R250. When I heard them ask him that question it felt like they were intentionally trapping him.

I hope McConnell does not have the votes. But I hope if Republicans push him through, these 3 women will file criminal complaints in Maryland where there is no statute of limitations. There has been an ethical complaint filed against him in the DC Circuit, but that may not be enough.

[quote]But the Repugs will have hell to pay

...How? They've been at this shit for almost two years straight and they're getting 2 judges out of it.

They'll gerrymander and suppress people at midterms with the help of their Russia friends and keep all 3 branches.

And then we'll go through the whole fucking 2016 election again in 2020, which republicans will probably win with the help of Russia again.

If you look on the WSJ it's hard to tell if the update is that they made a mistake and he wasn't watching or if he lied?

[R266] or you could say it's an obvious political hit job that most sane people has realized now.

R271 I don't think all 3 women can press charges. Isn't it only sexual assault that has no statute of limitations in MD?

Like Roy Moore is probably their biggest loss so far, and it took him being a serial predator of underaged girls and going house to house helping black women register to vote for that to happen.

R274 failed his English courses at the troll farm.

Just vote in November, and get everyone you know to vote in November r272. The House can be flipped, even with their gerrymandering.

Manchin emerging from meeting with GOP's Collins, Murkowski and Flake says

"We are still talking. There are no decisions on anything. There are some concerns that people have and we’re going to try to close the loop.”

I couldn't even see that poster r277, must have FF and blocked it a while ago.

I hate outing. I hate it and I never side with the radicals here who advocate it.

If someone outed Lindsay Graham, and in a humiliating way, I'd be delighted.

I don't want Graham outed, I don't want him officially counted as part of the gay community.

Let him stay a sad, pathetic closet case.

R210, he believes that stuff anyway, because it puts white males in charge with all the power. But Koch-types like to reward their serfs, like they did Paul Ryan.

R279 that basically just means... "we're going to carry this charade on until tomorrow morning."

Graham was cranky because his but plug came loose.

What is his record on gay rights?

[quote] In Kavanaugh's courtroom, would he believe the defense of someone who said, "But, Judge, that [crime] is not in my calendar. That proves I wasn't there."

It may not be hard evidence, but at least he could be substantiated if you include names. Keeping a calendar is actually a good idea if you intend to seek any position of power, especially today. It's amazing he had the foresight to do it back then.

[quote] We can play the numbers game, too. Kavanaugh can be impeached after the midterms. After formal charges have been brought against him in Maryland by Ford and others.

There would be no way he would be convicted without any evidence, even if Ford's testimony on its own is compelling.

WTF was Alyssa Millano doing there? She sent a tweet complaining about Repubs being on their phone even as she constantly brings attention to herself by taking video and pictures while the hearing is going on.

And now you can click on the link you created by talking about him, r280, and take a peek at what he said without admitting to the world you did. A trick being used by many PITs

[quote]There are some concerns that people have and we’re going to try to close the loop

IE "our masters need to give us more money for us to consider taking the risk of losing our next election".

Outing cunts WORKS!

[quote]Keeping a calendar is actually a good idea if you intend to seek any position of power, especially today.

An even better idea: don't drink to excess and assault women.

...uh, what the fuck are you talking about r288?

I didn't refer to the ignored poster, I referred to the poster who was making fun it it. Maybe take your bizarre rant elsewhere.

My question is why would Kav actually KEEP (as in store) a calendar from 1982? Did the Committee see the actual book or did he send "copies?"

People who think outing assholes who hurt gays with their power are the real assholes! You are the reasons why Dems can't get their shit together and play mean as the repigs do!

Susan Collins: 202-224-2523 Bob Corker: 202-224-3344 Jeff Flake: 202-224-4521 Lisa Murkowski 202-224-6665

R273 The update just clarify's what he said? Is there another update?

Sep 27, 2018 at 11:01 am ET Kavanaugh Monitoring Hearing From Elsewhere Among those watching Dr. Ford’s testimony was Judge Kavanaugh, a committee aide said, from a monitor in another room in the Dirksen Senate Building, where he awaits the opportunity to tell his side of the story later today.

UPDATE: Judge Kavanaugh said during his hearing that he did not watch Dr. Ford's testimony. He said he had intended to but was preparing for his own testimony.

-- Jess Bravin

Was it Booker who showed him up with the Latin for if you disbelieve part of a statement all statements by that person should be considered suspect? And then Harris snagged him with his lie about not watching Ford's testimony?

* Clarifies Sorry. I think I'm really tired.

Methinks Senator McCain and Miss Lindsey conspired a deathbed pact to save the Republic and their scheme will be revealed in due time. Think, "B'rer Rabbit."

That's what Im asking R296. It's unclear to me if they're saying they were wrong and he wasn't watching since he stated he wasn't or are they saying he's lying?

r297, I think that was Durbin.

BREAKING: Sen GOP plans first floor vote on Kavanaugh for Saturday, 12 noon.

That will be procedural vote. Unclear if GOP has 50.

Committee vote to happen tomorrow 9:30 as planned.

r247 r253 r274 You are a very busy troll, Boris. But you need to go back to language school. Your English is очень плохой.

r299 don't ever type 'methinks' again. I'm the one with the Eject Into Space button.

He could've been half watching or just caught bits and pieces of it.

Brett is quite the rager. The last time I saw a performance that over-wrought it started with the words, "And I am telling you I'm not going..."

I'm sure his excuse will be I didn't WATCH it. I heard it.

And notice how once again he uses the good school boy routine:

I couldn't have possibly because I'm a good student who cares about being prepared!

R293, he kept and retained calendars because he was raised in D.C. and was aware of the exhaustive security procedures for the government jobs he always intended to hold. He has, literally, been prepping for the Supreme Court since he was in high school. And the calendars are your proof.

Go, R130. We didn't vote that fuck in. He was cheated in with Russian fucking help and the WH stopped the bill to fund election security in the wake of the attack. We don't want you here.

I left work at 3:30 today for an appointment. I turned on the radio for a traffic report, and instead they had Brett Kavanaugh crying and weeping about what a fine outstanding lad he and his fellow boys' Catholic prep schools grads were and are.

I got news for this dirtball: I'm a boys' Catholic prep school grad as well. One of my classmates was tried and convicted of murdering a couple of people by car bombs back in the 80's. For all I know, he could still be in prison. Another classmate of mine's father was a pipefitters union president and was shot and killed while sitting at his desk in the union hall shortly after we graduated. I didn't know the father, but if he was anything like his asshole son, he got what was coming to him.

My point is if Kavanaugh thinks going to a boys' Catholic prep school ensures upstanding moral character and entitles him to a "get of a jail free" card, he is sorely mistaken.

It was interesting to watch Hatchet and Ghastly’s evil unspool in real time. Usually it’s behind the scenes and we only see the end results.

hopefully it turned off a few independents.

[quote]Methinks Senator McCain and Miss Lindsey conspired a deathbed pact to save the Republic and their scheme will be revealed in due time. Think, "B'rer Rabbit."

Ah'll do my best, John, but it's sure going to be pawful lonely wowcha.

a dem nominee would have withdrawn by now, repukes are shameless.

Wow, the Jesuit Magazine just rescinded their endorsement of Kavanaugh.

[quote]While we previously endorsed the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh on the basis of his legal credentials and his reputation as a committed textualist, it is now clear that the nomination should be withdrawn.

Which is why there's a good possibility there won't be a massive Dem landslide for the midterms.

^ apparently residents of glass houses can throw stones.

Gloria Borsia is doing that thing where she proclaims to know what’s in people’s heads but then is dead wrong about her proclamation, which she shouldn’t be speaking for people in the first place but rather should be reporting on facts or stating her opinions as such, and not facts.

It’s a thing with her. It’s inappropriate AND not accurate.

Did someone really ask if (and was impressed) a thread had ever hit 5 parts before?

Seriously?

Are you unaware of the Mueller Thread or I dunno all those annoying Timothy Threads Part 124322

[quote]Cornyn reiterates what I’ve been told - they aren’t there yet on the votes for Kavanaugh. But pushing forward and think they can get there.

WOW GO JESUITS!

I don’t even know what that is but snaps for them.

I'm sure they meant five parts in a few hours, r318.

I think they meant 5 in one day which is rare

Richard Blumenthal is the one who used the Latin legal term that states “if you believe the testimony was false in one area, it is logical to conclude the testimony is false is any/all other areas.” I don’t know the Latin term, but if I was nominated for the mother fucking SCOTUS I would — Kavanaugh of course could not recite the term nor its definition.

Yeah I think normally the Oscars leads to 4 threads, so 5 for the hearing is impressive.

So Mitchell was fired on the spot for asking the wrong questions to Kav. Especially the July 1 calendar. Look at what Kav wrote the day on the calendar.

Where's Avenatti tonight? I can't imagine he's home with a good book.

I hope Avenatti is filling out the paperwork to sue him in the State of Maryland on behalf of his client.

R323, it's "falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus," and the meaning is obvious even if you do not know Latin.

A little something to make r247, r253 and r274 feel right at home.

I'm with the poster in one of the previous threads. This is Bob Odenkirk's guest Emmy to lose.

R321 again, I stand by my post.

Timothy. Figure Skating Threads, How big is your cock threads, Etc.

lol R331 those damn Figure Skating Threads hit like 10 threads a day whenever Ice Dance is on.

Why is Joe Fucking Manchin in a meeting with three Republicans after watching this travesty today? What are the odds that they are going to vote as a block to block his confirmation?

I also found it interesting they kept bringing up the NYT and how they wouldn't report any of the accusations and how Ford didn't bring her story there...

Only cemented to me that the NYT is in fact colluding with them.

In South Carolina, Graham is known as an unacknowledged gay. He, as some other politicians in the state, get by with it by being in the closet. As long as they yap and vote right-wing, they get by with it.

Graham has his male, personal associations, but denies anything romantic. Remember, his Emails were hacked by Russians, though they were also giving money to his PAC. Trump knows something, and it appears it was revealed at the first golf outing. That is when Graham did the 180 and started aggressively attacking the DOJ/FBI and embracing and promoting everything Trump.

Assuming there's game-changing dirt on Graham, the wrong side has it. If the public knows what Trump knows, then........

[quote]Gloria Borsia is doing that thing where she proclaims to know what’s in people’s heads but then is dead wrong about her proclamation, which she shouldn’t be speaking for people in the first place but rather should be reporting on facts or stating her opinions as such, and not facts.

John King stopped Gloria Borger doing the exact same thing this afternoon, r317 - he let her ramble then finally cut her off and said something like "I think you're trying too hard......."

I can even tell you a date when a thread went that fast, and it was back in the days when they would split at 1000 posts

And Mike Schmidt's story about Rosenstein that could possibly be the excuse Trump needs to fire him. I fucking hate them all.

[quote]Did someone really ask if (and was impressed) a thread had ever hit 5 parts before?

Seriously?

Are you unaware of the Mueller Thread or I dunno all those annoying Timothy Threads Part 124322

Or the Dangling Tendrils thread. Part 10 or 11 I think now.

Lehey shaded the republicans by saying they’re just going to do what their told.

[quote]Seriously? Are you unaware of the Mueller Thread or I dunno all those annoying Timothy Threads Part 124322

Or the Dangling Tendrils thread. Part 10 or 11 I think now.

R338, hating the NYTimes/distrusting the media is what Trump wants you to do. Keep your eyes on the real villains.

Chris Hayes mentioned that Mitchell was just pointing out a summer event on the calendar with "PJ", Judge, and others when she was interrupted. Something that fit the attack.

I wish I could find tape of Ford's lawyer saying 'let me put an end to this misery' wrt to the polygraph fees. It sounds hilarious and I missed it. It's gotta be meme-ing somewhere...

That would be Sen. Leahy, and he's right, R340. We're holding a forum next month on the state's abortion laws and how we can assure continued access in the face of this new threat. We've invited both our Senators and I believe they're both coming. I hope other people are doing similar work.

Sigh. The world hasn't changed enough.

Save the lectures for someone else, r338. I'm old. I know who the real villains are. Haberman and Schmidt are not heroes.

The calendar actually contradicts him a few times, for example saying he was at Tobin's house on the same day he was drinking, when he testified he never did both on the same day.

And there is a July 1st date where he and PJ and Judge all hung out together, which Mitchell brought up. Seems to have agitated the Repugs.

I should have turned the TV off instead of watching it all day long. God I am in a terrible mood. If something doesn’t happen soon we are going to have Trump and his mini Trump’s taking over everything.

The kids I went to school in the late 70s were always drinking and having parties. They had some real wild gatherings. My parents wouldn’t let me go unless they called the parents to see if they were going to be home. Needless to say I never went anywhere the fun was.

Also, the WSJ reported that Kavanaugh was watching Ford's testimony, but he testified that he didn't watch it. The guy is just a constant liar.

As we're all finding out today, R349, it wasn't 'fun' for everyone.

Yep, based on his super-special calendar we actually have a date that fits r348. July 1st.

Ford named several of the names listed on the calendar at for brewskis before ever seeing the calendar.

R352 or someone who watched the whole thing can you give me a quick rundown? I didn't watch a majority of his testimony. What happened about his calendar? What did he testify to and did he show it?

Feeling deflated, depressed, hopeless. Angry white men rule the world. Nothing has changed.

Just 77k votes in PA, WI, MI would have changed all this r354.

Voting is important. Don't vote or protest vote at our peril.

r350 - This one's for you.

If a woman had acted like Kavanaugh (at the hearing), she would have been called "hysterical" and "unhinged."

[quote]someone who watched the whole thing can you give me a quick rundown?

Kavanaugh blathering, blithering, bloviating, blubbering.

Yeah, except I said rundown of the journal and that date. Thanks.

Another quick rundown:

"Do you pinky swear to God that you didn't do it?"

"Yep"

I just saw Susan Collins give Manu Raju a SURPRISE ANAL!

Are you sure, R362? That would seem to require her to be decisive, and that's not really Susie, is it?

Can anyone answer if in his prior hearings Kavanaugh was sworn in or affirmed? I thought it was interesting that he affirmed the oath, didn't swear. For such a good Catholic boy, I was surprised.

Kav came across as a shithead. I found especially egregious his emotional tale about his daughter's notion of praying for "the woman", quite probably she was repeating some pious shit she overheard Mommy saying about that poor deluded woman.

Woman called Lynne Brookes on Cuomo right now, a Yale friend of the next justice, and she's painting a picture of a real drunkard.

Kellyanne Conway's fingerprints are all over BK's testimony today. Crazy deflection, denial, turning the questions around on the questioner, bloviating to eat up time, etc. He was well coached.

Did he say in his testimony that he didn’t watch Dr. Ford?

He was asked about the journal entries, but his answers weren’t enlightening.

His sniffling and blubbering came off like a guilty confession in front of Mommy and Daddy, who were there today...

R367, he was indeed speaking to one person today -- Trump.

Interesting: A source close to Senator Manchin tells me now, "Short of claims that definitively prove Dr. Ford's allegations or a realization that Kavanaugh will gut the healthcare law, Manchin will side with the overwhelming number of people in WV who want Kavanaugh confirmed."

Manchin likes Kavanaugh and has always wanted to find a way to support him."

Manchin, of course, left his meeting with Collins, Murkowski, and Flake saying he was unsure. But thought source's use of "definitively prove" was interesting.

I'm not convinced Manchin would vote yes, FWIW, if Collins and Murkowski decide to vote no.

Here's what I'm wondering: if Collins and Murkowski vote yes, are there other red state Dems who could be picked off?

How long until we find out about Mark Judge's pilfering of beer from the Safeway?

[quote]someone who watched the whole thing can you give me a quick rundown?

Do you want an FBI investigation?

"Homina Homina Homina"

I wish Kamala would have asked him if he would have put a sexual assault on his calendar

All you need to know about Graham: No guts to say any of that shit when Ford was there.

You didn't provide a link r372,

Brett is a disgusting liar. What an embarrassing show he made today.

They are FRANTIC to get Brett on the SC. HE could be on video shooting someone on 5th avenue and would get confirmed!

This sucks. And don’t fucking bring up impeachment tonight — it’s too fresh. And impeachment is for PUSSIES. We need something else to tip this.

Get Manchin the fuck out of the Dem Party. His stupid, worthless state will never be one Dems have any use for.

I doubt he needed much coaching. He's a high-powered lawyer. This is who he is. If anything, he needed coaching on toning down his true asshole nature.

Any Democrat who votes to confirm can kiss their political future goodbye.

Boof = Fart Devil’s Triangle = drinking game

I missed his FFFFFourth of July reworking.

Brett is a seething Democrat hater. He is hyper-partisan. He hates us more than Clarence Thomas Alito combined!

He is completely not suited for ANY court.

F-f-f-f-fuck. Making fun of one of his friends.

He blamed the 'fffff' on a friend with a stutter.

So again... what was the post about the July 1 calendar entry?

So Googling I found the Weekly Standard online, which is a Conservative magazine. But I loved this observation:

"At the end of the day, it’s no use lamenting the foolish choices that led us to this point because we can’t unmake them. The best we can do is try to figure out what incentive structure led people to make them in the first place, and then try to change it.

That’s a big question. And the most depressing possible answer is that this spectacle—like the spectacle of the Trump presidency—is merely a symptom of the larger disease.

It’s impossible to look at the Ford-Kavanaugh hearings and not see America as a nation in decline."

From a conservative magazine. Nearly fell over dead they'd say something like that.

Praying is not wisdom. Egad, this is a person who will uphold the laws of our land? Maybe the Pope will take him in, the Vatican can always use another virgin.

I strongly suspect that if only one red state Democrat threatens to vote for Kavanaugh, Chuck Schumer will tell them that they can expect the least desirable committee assignments when the Democrats take over the Senate, when ever that is. If more than one red state Democrat decides to vote for Kavanaugh then there isn't much Schumer can really do.

With Machin though they have to be careful, he could easily just switch parties.

Is Brett still a virgin?

[quote]And impeachment is for PUSSIES.

PUSSIES, and those with them, are what’s saving this country’s ass right now. Find another slur dear.

Kavanaugh really is disgusting.

Gee, I wonder why the Catholic Church is hemorrhaging members. Bret Kavanaugh totally embodies the US catholic church. Male, arrogant, looking down his nose at women, dismissing charges of sexual assault while pretending he is the victim, refusing an investigation .....

Here's your calendar: 365 days of the year, this guy is clearly an entitled dickhead

Talking about a Clinton conspiracy in his opening statement r385 honestly blew my mind. You never fathom hearing a Supreme Court justice sound like Sean Hannity.

The Big 4 are discussing their rocks and hard places:

"Yes," and risk the Blue Wave.

"No," and risk the Red Death.

Why would Dr. Ford provide Judge's name knowing Judge would support Brett? Because she is telling the truth, no matter where the chips fall. She took a lie detector test and passed, told her therapist 6 years ago and wants a FBI investigation. He does NOT want a FBI investigation. THAT is where this is at. He is clearly hiding it did happen.

R388, Ford said that there were at least three boys/men at the party at which she was assaulted: Kavanaugh, Judge and a P.J. somebody. The July 1 calendar entry indicated that Kavanaugh had a meeting planned with Judge and P.J. It suggests that July 1 was the day that the assault occurred.

Flake KNOWS he's not coming back to his seat and he will still cosign Trump's pick. Coward extraordinaire.

I thought it made him look much worse when he said he didn't watch Ford's testimony; I don't know why he would lie and say he didn't.

[quote] From a conservative magazine. Nearly fell over dead they'd say something like that.

It used to be Bill Kristol’s mag & Kristol hates Trump

I bet Bill and Hillary were watching and when Kavanuts dragged them into it they burst out laughing and high fived from their respective Lay-Z-Boys. I was so WTF? when he came out with that one.

Flake and Corker are useless. As is Sasse. All talk and zero action. Fuck them to hell.

[quote]All you need to know about Graham: No guts to say any of that shit when Ford was there.

Two-faced AGAIN as seen by blubbering mess when talking about Joe Biden.

I am sure everyone knows the dirt on Miss Lindsey-- Democrats, Republicans, journalists, diplomats, everyone. Only the Republicans are threatening to use it.

I've given up on Sasse and Corker... expect to five up on Flake but we'll see yet. Not much hope.

R398 here. That was only for the Republicans.

Any "Democrat" who votes "Aye" will not see another nomination. And "No" will mean "Out ASAP."

Repugs are all demons. All of them. Demons!

Thanks, R400, I'm aware of the first part but where did the contents of that calendar entry come from? Where was it shown?

R411, I believe that the NYTimes has a copy of the calendar on its site.

I love Rachel but she's giving me PTSD from all of the clips of Kav screaming and lying during his testimony. Hell will surely rain down on these senators who vote for him after this.

I hope journalists still keep digging even if he's confirmed. You just know that what we've seen and heard so far is only the tip of the iceberg.

They will all vote for Kavanaugh including Collins. It's a done deal and soon we'll see his ugly mug on the Supreme Court. Democratic Senators came across as weak and lame. I think it's time for some new blood in the Senate. I just hope Kavanaugh's elevation to the Court is followed with one ugly story after another about him. He's a real POS.

[quote]I thought it made him look much worse when he said he didn't watch Ford's testimony; I don't know why he would lie and say he didn't.

It was the defining moment in those nanoseconds Kavanut took to reflect on his answer and he uttered "No." When everyone knew he was watching Ford's testimony like a hawk. Especially her demeanour. He had his eye on her - you can bet on it. It's so creepy to witness someone attempting to lie and doing such a lousy job of it.

The calendar was publicly released yesterday morning, it's been out.

Ah, thanks R412. I refuse to go to the NYT but thanks for the info.

Elaina Plott, The Altantic from her Twitter account

Why are Democrats allowing Republicans to determine how their senators vote on this? Democrats in WV need to get organized ASAP and let Manchin know they won’t come out and vote for him if he votes to confirm. Then Manchin can try to win with only Republicans and Independents. Republicans are so much better at politics. Ffs they got the POTUS and the Gov of Alabama to endorse a child molester for the senate and we can’t get our guy to vote against a sexual predator?

Durbin is my "dark horse" pick for 2020.

I have a good feeling about him. I'd love to see Kamala as VP, too.

[quote]Flake KNOWS he's not coming back to his seat and he will still cosign Trump's pick. Coward extraordinaire.

That's what's so sickening. Rather than leave with integrity and do the right thing, he will vote in favor of someone totally unfit. I suspect some sort of high-paying "consulting" job is waiting for him courtesy of the evil slime he actually serves and who want Kavanaugh to do their bidding.

I'm so sad tonight, because the country elects Republicans as they are in majorities. I mean, what's to be done?

They want a very quick vote because they are nervous becasue they KNOW more will come out.

All the Senators on the fence can end this by at least saying they are a firm NO until a FBI investigation is complete.

R422, EXACTLTY!

[quote]Democrats in WV need to get organized ASAP and let Manchin know they won’t come out and vote for him if he votes to confirm.

Oh dear!

Are you not American? It is West Virginia, Manchin is a Democrat representing a a very, very Republican state.

The state of Maryland should open an investigation tomorrow.

The hearing was amazing to watch, Kavanaugh & Graham channeling Mayella Ewell, busted chifferobes everywhere!

Agreed R414, if there’s anything we found out today it’s that Brett is, and always has been, a real Chad.

R415....exactly! If this shitbrain becomes a Justice, I truly hope people will continue to expose him and his fibs.

James Comey weighs in. Pointing out the obvious, Kavanaugh lied today and showed he is untrustworthy.

[quote]Small lies matter, even about yearbooks. From the standard jury instruction: “If a witness is shown knowingly to have testified falsely about any material matter, you have a right to distrust such witness' other testimony and you may reject all the testimony of that witness ...”

If he told the truth about the assault, he would be admitting to a crime. Everything would stop there.

If he pled the Fifth, again, everything would stop right there. And a criminal investigation into the assault would commence almost immediately.

If he said he did not assault her, he would be committing perjury. Also a crime. But it allowed him to kick the can a bit further, at least as far as the committee vote.

If a proper law enforcement investigation is commenced, he'll be in enough trouble that the feds won't even bother with the perjury problem, other to remove him from the federal court. And the Bar association might relieve him of his law license. His best choice was to lie in front of the entire nation.

It would be a good thing if Democrats had a few street fighters in Congress.

R428 Thank you so much.

[quote]James Comey weighs in. Pointing out the obvious, Kavanaugh lied today and showed he is untrustworthy.

Comey helped get us into this mess. Fuck off, Mr October Surprise.

Suddenly Graham is a hero to the fuckhead psychos on the right, because who needs substance or facts when a tantrum will suffice?

These are the people who usually scream about minorities always playing victim, right? Yeah...

So, with the McCain seat not filled, the Repugs only have 50 votes. Or how does that work?

John Kyl was appointed to McCain’s seat.

They can lose one vote and Pence will break the 49-49 tie. They can’t lose two votes.

Graham always has well-timed melt downs. They’re getting old

Yep, Kavanaugh and Graham were the biggest snow-flakes, throwing childish temper tantrums r436.

Meanwhile the liiberal academic, supposedly the SJW snowflake, behaved like a mature adult.

How it always goes, no one is a bigger thin-skinned snowflake than Trump himself.

They won’t lose two votes. And manchin will vote yes.

R437 Mccain has a replacement. Kyl.

Sorry, I meant 50-50 tie.

Is Kyl sworn in yet? Wouldn't it be crazy if HE voted no? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

American Magazine, a Jesuit publication, that supported Kavanaugh's nomination because of his conservatism, has withdrawn its support and wrote the nomination should be withdrawn

The risk that the female GOP senators have is that McConnell will threaten them that he will stop any legislation they put forward will not even get a hearing if they don’t vote for Kavanaugh

I long to see The Senatrice Miz Lindsey Graham's interpretation of Amanda Wingfield.

[quote]McConnell

More than anyone else, he is the reason I hope karma exists and I hope it comes for him soon.

The GOP is pushing through this nomination desperately because they’re afraid they may lose the senate. They don’t give a shit about the country; they care only about banning abortion

The stories about BK's drunken behavior are out there but they're too scattered. A Woodward/Bernstein group needs to pull all of these other witnesses accounts together to paint a complete picture of BK.

The Portrait of Dorian Kavanaugh Gray.

Durbin wiping the floor with that ass!!!!

Kamala Harris is no-nonsense, to the point.

Love her

I, too, am amazed at this 1980s-era calendar. Who keeps this kind of stuff? I can only surmise that the parents kept it in storage. I can't find any information re: how many siblings Kavanaugh has.

“I should have turned the TV off instead of watching it all day long. God I am in a terrible mood. If something doesn’t happen soon we are going to have Trump and his mini Trump’s taking over everything.” r349

I hear ya. I’m in a total stink mood. Even a tumbler of wine hasn’t helped.

Why wasn't he questioned about his reference to "Clinton".

He should have been asked if he really believes that Clinton is somehow paying off Christine Ford, since that seemed to be what he was implying.

Kavanaugh painted himself into a corner when he chose to present himself as a choir boy.

There was just too much evidence that he’s a belligerent drunk— from various classmates. He tried so hard to evade ANY dem question about his drinking

He said during the hearing that he is an only child r454

If you were attacked 50 years ago and you knew the person who attacked you 50 years ago, you still know them in 2018. Of course, low life, ignorant jerk offs refuse to understand the truth of the situation.

His blaming this all on “evil” lefties means he cannot ever rule objectively on a case that involves lefties

All that was missing from Graham's performance was him presenting it as he comes down an antebellum spiral staircase, slamming his little fist down on the railing as he got to the bottom.

Phony shithead.

He also showed a bias against democrats so I don’t know how he could be taken a seriously from now on.

[quote]The risk that the female GOP senators have is that McConnell will threaten them that he will stop any legislation they put forward will not even get a hearing if they don’t vote for Kavanaugh

Then they should tell him they'll pull a Jim Jeffords and leave the party, declare themselves Independents and caucus with the Democrats.

He can not be an independent judge if he hates democrats.

Isn't BK an only child r454?

I have to admit I too kept a very similar kind of calendar back in high school. Parties, sporting events, drivers ed, exams, vacations, college campus visits, all documented. It was a cheap paper flip style calendar that hung in our kitchen.

And I still have it. Not due to some hoarding complex but because it somehow got saved in the same chest as my yearbooks & photos from that era. I actually like having it, it's a record of a fun and busy time in my life, one where I partied a lot (but didn't sexually assault or rape anyone, natch).

Brett needed a fainting couch, pearls and a HUGE 'SURE, JAN' sign behind him.

Kavanaugh’s the typical privileged white kids who fucking gets away with everything for his entire life

[quote]He also showed a bias against democrats so I don’t know how he could be taken a seriously from now on.

All of this proves that Republicans for a long time now, never truly believed in the laws of this nation or the constitution. They're fucking fascists who believe in supremacy based on gender and skin color.

Sorry, forgot religion and sexuality

Thanks, R458 , I'm thinking that parents of an only child may have "preserved" stuff.

Lindsey Graham changed his Twitter picture to a photo of him wit Brett Kavanaugh today.

Well how the fuck do you expect the bots to get their rubles?

I don't know why they even bothered today. Those bitches are going to vote this POS in.

I don’t believe for a second that the GOP didn’t know about these accusations.

That petition signed by 65 women who knew him in school and vouched for his kindness came out THE SAME DAY the accuser’s letter was released. Why would anyone think that women should sign a petition on someone’s behalf unless there was a reason....

Thank you, all you who didn't vote in 2016 or voted for Jill "Putin-lover" Stein. Thank you so much. Happy? You got what you wished for.

"A number of my Yale colleagues & i were extremely disappointed in Brett Kavanaugh's characterization of himself... he often drank to excess," Lynne Brookes, former classmate of Kavanaugh who says she often drank to excess with him.

More of this needs to come out. There needs to be a tidal wave of these statements before Monday.

Oh wait, let me do my enabling Dem act: You all must stop this at once! You need to stop attacking Republicans and Kavanaugh! We need moderates! This makes us look bad!

Whenever any Dem asked about his drinking, Kavanaugh would start with, “I was number 1 in my class, I went to Yale College, I worked my Ass off... blah blah blah)

"The lesson of the United States in this moment is that misogyny and racism aren’t disqualifiers. They are the qualities the right wing considers key to their larger project—perhaps in fact, a main selling point," — Rebecca Traister

Kavanaugh gave a deplorable performance and to Trump and his base, it proves he's innocent.

The only people I"m interested in hearing from are the people in the center. I'm curious who they believed more

An observation from Jennifer Rubin, WaPo's resident conservative columnist (who I've seen referred to hear as crazed but I find her fairly sensible... at a minimum she doesn't think much of the current Republican Party.). Anyway she wrote this and I bet a lot of women will feel this now:

"The shouting didn’t end with his opening statement. He barked at the ranking Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). Then the Republicans got into the screaming act, pushing their outside lawyer Rachel Mitchell aside in favor of histrionics from Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and John Cornyn (R-Tex.). If President Trump loved the nasty, male grievance game, the rest of us had reason to wonder if anyone of this temperament — Cornyn, Graham or Kavanaugh — should be in a position of power. If they were women, they would be called “hysterical.”

I heard the first house vote is Saturday. If there's to be marches, it needs to be soon.

Slightly off topic, but Kav has the beauty and sex appeal of a hot dog bun. In a suit. Praising God. Back on topic, he's full of shit.

Leahy seemed bitter and discouraged when he spoke to the press outside the hearing room right after it ended. I have a bad feeling about this.

Have we even had a good feeling since this pos was elected?

[quote]If they were women, they would be called “hysterical.”

It really is true. Women would never be allowed to behave the way they did. Neither would black or brown guys.

Being belligerent in an official setting and still being respected is a privilege only white guys are allowed.

Would it be too much to ask for Kav to be picked up tonight on a DUI?

"One can only imagine President Trump watching Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony". (This quip belongs to this link)

It's over. The sense I am getting from most Democrats and liberals I speak to and observe online is frustration and indignation. There is a sinking feeling he is going to be confirmed. They let her "speak", but they will say that we will never know the truth. It was he said she said.

Collins will vote yes. Democrats will still try to vote her our if she votes no. They want a Democrat so she needs establishment support.

Many Republican women may be privately pro-choice, but they will let Roe V Wade be overturned because they assume it won't impact them. Rich women have ALWAYS had access to abortion that poorer women do not.

[quote]Kavanaugh’s the typical privileged white kids who fucking gets away with everything for his entire life

If anything this hearing alienated huge parts of the country from the government even more, and hopefully from the Republican party in particular. Hearing these people go on about their party filled youths and hanging out at country clubs just underscores how out of touch the leadership is with Americans who are in the trenches of life.

And the fact that they are treating each other with such contempt gives little hope to those with much less who want to seek justice in America.

MovOn—DEVELOPING NOW: Rapid-response protests being planned around the country for FRIDAY, NOON local time at local Senate offices. Wear black. Bring #BelieveSurvivors, #WithdrawKavanaugh, #JusticeForSurvivors signs. Find others, circle up, take photos, tell Senate staff you're there.

Are you kidding? The real privilege is that he can act even crazier out in public carrying a gun and won't end up dead like those black or brown guys.

He'll not last 30+ years, he looks like he'll drop dead long before then. His drinking will only escalate, of that I have no doubt.

None of the Dems really landed any punches today. Not sure why.

They obviously had their (very reasonable) goal r506, there should be an FBI investigation before we move forward. They stuck to those talking points.

In truth they don't really have any facts to question him about this case, because there hasn't been an investigation so there are no real facts. And you don't want to attack this guy at this stage, the optics of that look terrible.

Gergen on CNN: I think we're on the verge of one of the most divisive moves by the U.S. Senate in our lifetimes.

All because Lindsay Graham wants to be Attorney General. (Or State, I've read.)

They're so scared of not being reelected. Sick.

Had they left Ms Mitchell in all day to ask the questions, it wouldn't have turned into a battleground. L Graham was appalling and his demeanor was unacceptable. The Republicans change the rules at a whim. What a terrible group of people.

deplorables are praising Lindsey Graham like crazy on twitter. He's still trending hours later. The rest of us are disgusted but they now love him

No, no, no, no, no, oshifer! I'm shober ash a jhuhdzh. I jhush got a pebble in m'shoe. Ish why I can't walk shraight! Jhush let me try it again in my shocksh, okay? Okay? Okay?

Committee vote tomorrow

Floor vote Saturday

It is crazy how divided we are as a nation. Your perception of Lindsey Graham's behavior is POLAR opposite depending on your political leanings. There is no common ground there.

All the little trumpie trolls are where? Watching football?

Maybe it's because I live in OK, but senator Lankford, who actually was publicly unsure whether he'd vote to confirm BK, released a statement and all but said he would vote to confirm him. There are lots of comments on his FB post, but most of the WOMEN are applauding him, or still urging him to confirm BK.

Is the FBI the only way to investigate? Couldn’t the Dems hire a a good P.I. Firm?

I live in Oklahoma as well. And you know how them "stand by your man" Baptist bitches are around here.

WEHT investigative journalism?

It's a lopsided division r520. The majority of us out here don't support the racist, misogynistic, shameful grasping dreck the Repubs bring to the table. The deplorables are in the minority - a vocal active minority granted, but still.

I could see him in this. If he does his own stunts.

it's clear now: repubs LOVE IT when they see a conservative "fighting back" against those "evil liberals". They think white, conservative, xtian, heterosexual men are under attack and need support

I used to go to church camp at Falls Creek when Lankford was still the director, r524. I honestly, deep down believed he may vote no.

Kavanaugh is being hailed as a hero by deplorables on social media. They liked his combative, screaming, accusatory and hostile performance today

Not linking to it, and not that it'll change anything, but Fox News posted an editorial from Alan Dershowitz calling for an FBI investigation before the vote.

"Absolute malpractice that not a single Democratic senator has asked Kavanaugh if he colluded with Whelan on his evil twin theory."

[quote]It is crazy how divided we are as a nation. Your perception of Lindsey Graham's behavior is POLAR opposite depending on your political leanings. There is no common ground there.

Except we're not divided by right and left, we're divided by basic human decency vs. none. Trump supporters have no decency whatsoever. They accuse the left of every fucking thing they themselves have done. To listen to that self-loathing shithead get all apoplectic and act like this is the worst thing he'd ever seen considering the shit he himself has been a part of, is disgusting beyond belief. These people are fucking hypocrites on a psychotic scale and they can't accept it.

(529) I went to Falls Creek once with a friend as her guest. (Episcopalian here) I have never seen so much sex and pedophilia in my life. That was some scary scary shit down there.

^ xo

Judicial temperament

Republicans are horrible people. You won't find one good thing about them.

Ha I was a good kid, no sex for me, I couldn't even get someone to go with me on a ICEE date, r534. But yeah, a guy who raped a girl at Falls Creek was basically let go free, with not much more than a slap on the wrist not too long ago.

Wouldn't you think the Republicans would want someone who isn't a liability like Kavanaugh? People like Kavanaugh don't just do this shit once. I'm sure there are more women. What happens when Kavanaugh gets onto the SCOTUS and we have a Dem Senate or Dem president? Aren't Republicans scared more serious allegations against him could possibly force him from the court. Then, if we do have a Dem Senate or president, the Republicans are screwed. They just lost a SCOTUS seat. You'd think they would want someone who they know wouldn't cause potential issues down the line.

[quote]a guy who raped a girl at Falls Creek was basically let go free, with not much more than a slap on the wrist not too long ago.

Yeah, now let's revisit that question about why so many don't immediately report it when they're attacked.

R540 or why some choose to talk about such incidents on social media rather than dealing with the court system.

[quote]Wouldn't you think the Republicans would want someone who isn't a liability like Kavanaugh?

Yes, but I assume they know they've passed the point of no return. There isn't time to get it done before the mid terms and they don't want to risk not stacking the court. So the bad pick was protected.

Saturday’s vote is a vote to bring to the floor. It’s not a final vote.

But it is that last chance to shave the women senators.

If they’re going to object, it will be over process and that will be there chance.

It’s basiclaly a repeat of the healthcare vote with no John McCain to sink it.

THEIR

Yep r542.

1) They don't want to feel like they "lost" to the Dems, they think their base will be very pissed off at them

2) We have an election coming up, where it is not impossible they could lose control of the Senate. They want to get someone confirmed before the election, so the clock is ticking.

That is why they are committed to sticking with Kavanaugh.

So when is the final final vote?

Friday is the committee vote and then the final vote will be Saturday. That was their plan, and I think they intend to stick to it.

Call me a Mary!, but his behavior was just so not judicial and I was just clutching my pearls right and left. You just don't act like that. He should have been reprimanded by the Chair of that Committee for the way he was speaking to the Democrats. And that line about the Clintons and left wing conspiracies. I mean, dude, at least pretend like you're non partisan. And finally, I wish someone would have had the balls to ask him to explain the rules of Devil's Triangle and how it's like quarters.

[quote]It would be a good thing if Democrats had a few street fighters in Congress.

If there was ever a day Mother Maxine needed to be on the panel!!!

it really is crazy how deplorables and a good chunk of repubs see things so differently from the rest of us.

Most of them had no doubt Bill Cosby was guilty

many of them have no doubt that Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose etc are guilty too

Al Franken? duh!

but don't you DARE accuse any repub of something like that. Trump, Roy Moore, Kavanaugh-it's all a left wing conspiracy and the women are lying!!!!!

[quote]Call me a Mary!, but his behavior was just so not judicial and I was just clutching my pearls right and left. You just don't act like that.

Honestly, Mary, I was shocked for about the first five minutes. Then it was just surreal.

R344 it was mystery not misery though

He acted unhinged. He’s a current drunk. Bet good money on it.

I feel bad for the poor twink who has to go to bed with The Senatrice tonight 😧

Imagine how Dr. Blaisy Ford is feeling tonight.

They hold up Garland for over 400 days yet the Senatrice is beside himself at the appalling behavior towards Brett. Wow.

I don't want to r555, it hurts my heart.

She did well, R555. She has nothing to worry when it comes to her legacy. Her safety and that of her family is another matter.

On CNN just now they said the NYT reported that fat girl who got to question Dr. Ford told the Rethuglicans that based on what she got from the witnesses she could not proceed to trial.

That's all the courageous Collins will need.

R547 is wrong

Saturday is not the final vote. with all the fake news out there... get your information straight.

You have to have a vote in the committee and a procedure vote first. Fri/Sat

Final vote will be next week

I think r555 was referring to the fact that she came forward and bared her soul to the Senate...and it didn't seem to make a difference to the GOP r557.

Can't feel good.

No, R550, it's even worse with some of them. Many times, they do believe it happened and they think it's no big deal when it's an "R" and they only care when a "D" does it because of politics, not out of genuine concern for the victims.

Like that Trump supporter mother who said it's no big deal if a man gropes you - to her friggin daughters standing right there.

Many of them are immoral, low-life trash who imagine that their family is like a Hummel figurine come to life, but in reality, they're lecherous, sinful scum who think women (and non-whites) should be treated like garbage.

They're so delusional when it comes to who and what they are, that's why they see the Trump family as perfect and the Obama family as ghetto. No decent person could ever think like that - low-life trash with no self-respect think like that.

You are right r560, I looked at it wrong

[quote]Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Tex.) said the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination as planned on Friday, with procedural votes on Saturday and Monday and a final confirmation vote on Tuesday.

I understand that this is not the outcome she wanted, but she really, truly did her best.

I hope it helps to know that the majority of the country believes her and does not want this guy on the SC.

I just don't understand the women out there who support Kavanaugh and think he's more believable than Ford. They keep saying that it would be easy to accuse a man of anything and he wouldn't be able to fully defend his reputation. Even when you tell them based on stats, over 90% of accusers are truthful, they don't care

We need some kind of bombshell over the weekend!

Can you believe how many times he said: "I like beer." I mean WTF is wrong with this guy? He sounded like a drunk Rain Man.

And every time he tried to judge someone else they be thinking that he’s a drunk and abused women.

But the witnesses who sold her out are terrible people. Don’t let them get away with what they did to her.

[quote]We need some kind of bombshell over the weekend!

I'm counting on Avenatti.

NEW THREAD, PLEASE!

I hope more women than ever before come out to vote in midterms against the repubs. I'm talking about the ones who usually don't vote at all. This has enraged many women all over social media

Wait, R559, what?

R539, there are 3 women now who could file complaints in Maryland, where there is no statute of limitations. What happens if a sitting SCOTUS Justice is indicted for sex crimes?

Tom Steyer needs to whip up some new commercials featuring Brett's angry faces, his tongue probing his own cheeks, and his reflexive water drinking while telling simple lies and buy out all the expensive ad time on Fox this weekend.

[quote]They keep saying that it would be easy to accuse a man of anything and he wouldn't be able to fully defend his reputation.

Gee and yet, I'm sure if it were he who were calling for the FBI investigation and she did everything to obfuscate, they'd be screaming about there being no justice.

[quote]I just don't understand the women out there who support Kavanaugh and think he's more believable than Ford.

Look up a demographic breakdown of the type of woman who supports Trump and you'll get your answer.

Avenatti will need to come out with something TOMORROW because no one is talking about his client today at all. It's like we all forgot that Ford isn't the only accuser.

I mean how could the repubs consider voting when just yesterday someone came out to accuse Kavanaugh of being around for a gang rape? Avenatti needs to make a move very quickly so it can't be ignored

*snort*

[quote]Look up a demographic breakdown of the type of woman who supports Trump and you'll get your answer.

Same demo who voted for Roy Moore.

Thank God for black women.

People are saying now that Lindsey Graham may have saved the Kavanaugh nomination. His theatrical outburst may have made the swing senator votes come around

R573 I believe only two of them can file charges. The third one was not a sexual assault.

new thread.

Mitch McConnell knows ramming Kavanaugh through for confirmation will generate further anger. The Republicans will settle for just pleasing Trump's base against all else. Stacking the SCOTUS is priority one for them, despite the later reprecussions.

Vote, people.

R580 please don't buy into that. There were never any "swing" Rethuglican votes.

Say goodbye to not only health care rights but SS and Medicare/Medicaid now. He will be the vote to take it all away. Say hi to 1908!

When Kavenaugh gets confirmed, he'll be out for blood and Democrats will just sit there wringing their hands and stomping their feet.

[quote] Imean how could the repubs consider voting when just yesterday someone came out to accuse Kavanaugh of being around for a gang rape?
