How you figure?

This is a nation led by emotions. Emotional displays, women crying on TV win the day.

We are literally a joke.

With any other spineless politician I'd agree w you. Trump wont give af though, as he shouldn't. He's already .she statements that if he let's this spectacle change his decision he may not have his choices accept the job offer next time.

W/o actual evidence, Kav will be the next Justice, guaranteed.

This will also come back to haunt the Dems deeply. These displays are disgustingly toxic to our character as a nation. I can guarantee you the masses arent happy w this.

Heraclitusstudent says

What do you think is easier for republicans, 1 month before the election?

Provided there are no new bombshells and Ford continues to offer absolutely no corroborating evidence, the Republicans know they will get wiped out by pissed off or apathetic Republicans in the Midterms if they fail to stand up to this smear job.

We've had it with sleazy Democrats trashing Bork, Thomas, Gonzalez, Alito and now Kavanaugh while extremist Democrats like Ginsburg, Kagan and Sotomayer sail through.

All they have to say is:

"We believe that Ford is sincere and believes something happened to her 37 years ago, but she did not provide a single shred of evidence supporting her claim other than her own testimony. In fact, all of Ford's witnesses (including her best friend) totally contradict her allegations. It is simply not fair to deny Kavanaugh this nomination based on un-supported and un-provable allegations."

Aphroman says

The common theme here seems to be alcohol

What's funny is that when you suggest being tougher on Alcohol, all the SJWs scream "That's a distraction". Nevermind that alcohol is involved in almost every single claim of sexual assault among young people.

AntiOcasioCortez says

Hahahahahahahahahahahah!

That is soo Clarence Thomas OLD SCHOOL Thinking, I am sorry to say.

As for the masses, they are too ill-informed and lacking in independent thinking skills to see nothing but "he's a rapist!" because "they told me on TV!".

But, I really, really hope I am wrong on this and you are proven absolutely correct, instead.

The difference with the Thomas hearing is that the Democrats had the majority in the Senate and ran the committee.

This time, all the Republicans need to do is convince a few wobbly Republicans like Collins and Murkowski.

Pot doesn't seem to have this problem.

Mitchell: Why did everyone you named as witness, including your best female friend Leland Keyser, say she had no memory of anything you alleged.
Ford: She has health issues and needs to take care of herself.

WHAT.

I love how they talk about this event as if she was raped. Everything has been a he said she said. The only thing for sure is that the Dems sat on this tell the last minute. And when did humans become so fragile that if this happened to her it caused so many issues in her life, she comes off as a head case to me.

The brief amount of this nonsense I watched, Ford looked like she was lying. Sorry. She didn't pass my gut test, which means nothing to anyone here (my opinion), but she did not sound credible. The other female attorney questioning her was rather good I thought though.

That last segment where every question she was basically spinning her head like an owl to her attorneys was not a good look. If you got fucked with by some dude, you, remember, that. Unless you're a slut.

An old lady faking a baby voice is telling the world about shit that allegedly happened in high school while constantly reminding the cameras that she's a shrink.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who picked that up.

For those that don’t know, a grown woman with a child’s voice is very often evidence of phsychological trauma as a result of sexual abuse as a child....the voice is from the age the person suffered the abuse. In this case I also beleive Ford is faking the voice. It may not be a blatant faking...it may be more a result of the mental illness she clearly suffers.

This.

I think she's conflating something that happened elsewhere and with somebody else, but the Political Environment has made her insert Kavanaugh's face.

Deep Down she knows this, and she knows it intellectually as a psychologist what happens with memories (they conflate readily esp. with distance from the event) hence the messed up affect.

People are saying Kavanaugh is "Magnificent" "Baring his soul"

The Dems are trying the "Angry Brett" long prepared catch phrase but it's falling flat and resonating like a pin dropped on a shag carpet.

Man it was painful to listen to.

Democrats are out of their minds. Enemies of the state.

Wow, Kavanaugh is ripping Diane FakeStein a new asshole. She's a stuttering mess. She knows she's a fucking liar.

In a time long passed, someone like FakeStein would face a firing squad for treason and the crowds would whistle, cheer and clap.

Either that or she was indeed assaulted.... [No No No! cognitive dissonance! hurts!].... she must be mentally ill.

Ford admitted to dealing with mental illness.

Saw good chunks of it today. Ford looked and sounded like she was lying plain and simple. To say otherwise is ignoring the facts of her behavior during and leading up to this whole shit show.

It’s really got nothing to do with what Kavanaugh has to say. She was not compelling and the voice thing was weird as mentioned by a few already. Combine that with constantly talking to her attorneys after every question and playing dumb. You were either assaulted or not. There shouldn’t be a need to talk to two attorneys sitting next to you. I don’t get what she was asking them, the questions were really straight forward.

Heraclitusstudent says

Or, she was assaulted some other time and place by somebody else one of the countless times she was rip roaring drunk and 36 years and lots of media flipout has her blaming Kavanaugh.

Sure, and maybe Jesus does indeed talk to the babbling train lady, and my target bag is a sign of the devil.

All we can go on is evidence. Accuser has none, Kavanaugh has every shred of identifiable support in his favor. Believe the accusers with the same faith that the crazy bag lady is speaking to Jesus.

I choose to follow facts and evidence (so will most americans).

Heraclitusstudent says

she was indeed assaulted

No one with two brain cells to rub together could possibly think this is anything but partisan politics. We're talking 99 to 1. Sure, there is a 1% chance she was assaulted but based on the evidence, it's simply an extremely weak case (weaker than "OJ didn't do it").

CBOEtrader says

I don't think anyone realizes how badly this has hurt the credibility of the Democrats.

The baby voice actress, the completely transparent attempt at a smear job, seeing Diane FakeStein stuttering, getting her asshole shredded by Kavanaugh on live TV is going to have an effect on the polls in November.

"Me 30 seconds after testifying in the Senate about the WORST! THING! THAT! EVER! HAPPENED! TO ME! ME! ME!"

Must have some great coffee in the Senate House, probably $50/lb. Taxpayer money.

MockingbirdKiller says

Who could ever rightfully expect him to be impartial after this?

These judges are far from impartial. You can almost predict 9 out of 10 votes from all of them. I still don't get why one even wants the job outside of ego. He's an attorney that became a federal judge and has worked high up in the government. His connections should easily be able to get him paid $500k/yr in the private sector.

Frankly, that's why I believe he's telling the truth. He has nothing to lose by walking away and getting a higher paying job. He has more to lose by going through with the BS and potentially airing real dirty laundry from his past going through this process.

I have one issue with his testimony - it was likely from the heart and you can't fault a man for this, but when he was tearing up he actually played a bit into the leftoids hands. And lo and behold my facetwat feed was full of leftoid leaning womyn MOCKING him for crying and/or suggesting fake weak tears. A man can never be a victim, he will only earn ridicule from the self-professed "empathetic" gender. The irony is that womyn and leftoids will feast on any perceived weakness. So I give Brett a B or a C. A solid B+ or A would have consisted of Brett coming out swinging like the Donald to the fucking Trumpets of Jericho blowing out of every speaker in the room, smack his Irish 8 incher onto the table and yelling into the shrieking leftoid harridan's faces that his friend Spike here would never touch something that fugly. But hey, I think he will be confirmed. Good luck, Brett!

This entire thing is bullshit from the beginning; there was no rape=there was no sexual assault.

Sexual assault is the word being used incorrectly deliberately; sexual assault means rape.

If it doesn't involve sex organs then there is no "sexual" in the event.

If someone had punched or twisted Ford's arm, etc. then she was a victim of battery, not sexual assault.

Very happy the Republicans did not cave one this. Fuck the lying dishonest Democrat Senators.

He could come back with racism allegations but that may still be a lost cause since wommyn > straight black males on the special olympics hierarchy. So it's ok to discriminate against blacks as long as they are misogynists. Noted.

The reason this all happened so late is that right away, the Legal Lesbian Mafia went out into the "Academic Street" looking for an ex-intern, an ex-girlfriend, anybody who worked in the Legal-Academic field that would have known Kavanaugh.

They couldn't find shit. The BEST they came up with was the very weak claim by Ford, a desperate stretch with the Yale Lady, and an absolute far cry reach in Swetnick, who was recruited at the very, very last second b/c she was a former client of Katz whom she believed might make a trained witness. They had her lawyer up with Avanetti so her former connections with Katz, her long history of lawsuits inc. sexual harassment at NY Life, would hopefully not come out until after the damage was done.

After weeks and weeks and dragging GoFundMe Dollar Bills through every Law School & Law Office Park in Coastie Land, these were the best smears they could find.

The accusations were weak, ancient, none were past the Schooling Years, and they had no meat in them, not even a scrap of gristle.

That was the Bread-and-Circuses phase.

The Believe the Women, Poor Dear, Heartless Old White Man charade.

Now comes the FU/Infighting phase where various segments of the Democratic party alternatively curse the public, the press, and eventually each other. The only question is whether it is bottled up long enough to make it past the midterm election.

I feel like Kavs confirmation will go whichever way the polls tell the Senate to jump. They aren’t there for justice or to do their job. They’re going to do whatever gets them re-elected.

I agree, this is the most likely thing, and this is why the senate deserves no respect. They stand for nothing.

Roe vs Wade is going down the tubes because Dems can’t act like adults.

Actually, he will be impartial. He seems tough enough to not let this smear campaign change him. "Impartial" does mean he will occasionally throw the other side a bone because it is their turn, it means that he will hear out and consider all sides fairly, but render a judgement based on his interpretation of the Constitution. However, he may have to use some self discipline if a case comes up about the ability of a accused to seek damages against false testimony.

As far as Roe v Wade going down the tubes, I believe Kavanaugh considers that settled law. Even if Roe v Wade was overturned, all that means is the each state would decide on the legality of abortion. One state may have the procedure banned, another state may have unabridged abortion access, another state banned abortion after 2 months, and so on.
