Judge Brett Kavanaugh & Professor Christine Blasey Ford Testify

The Senate Judiciary Committee hears testimony from Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Professor Christine Blasey Ford about her allegations that Judge Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while the two were teenagers.

So whose house was it?

Her parent's house. That's why she doesn't remember driving/riding there, and doesn't remember driving/riding away from there. That' why she remembers every detail of the house. That's why she went to the upstairs bathroom. It was the one she always used.

Going into the weeds on PTSD now. Bizarre.

Prosecutor is establishing that she has unrelated mental problems.

[alstewartfan]

No one WILL do it. I’m telling you, this Mitchell will be worthless.

[mostly_lies]

of course, but this is about the people watching, and the consequent butchery that will occur in social media.

She is gone.

[Reno89519]

Yes, interesting.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

I think they’re trying to show Collins and Murkowski that they’re being fair and respectful. Our opinions are less important.

[Captain Peter Blood]

If your looking for a Perry Mason moment it isn’t going to happen. Mitchell only has a limited amount of time, not unlimited like she is used to. You may have seen too many TV shows. If this wasn’t in public you can be sure Mitchell’s tactics would be very different.

Therapists usually write down symptoms not facts.”

This from a psychologist...

[pgkdan]

maybe Judge knew she was a freakin head case and wanted to avoid her..

Maybe he was just shocked at how old and worn out she looked.

[mass55th]

"But she flies to Tahiti?"

But I probably won't get to Australia.

Oh my! You can tell she's a caffeine addict. Now she's got a big gulp bottle of Coke. If you were in NY Chrissy, you wouldn't be able to get a drink that big. Mayor Bloomberg put the kibosh on that.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I haven’t met a single woman to date who wasn’t a rabid left wing nutter, that is buying any of this crap... Not one

Me either. Most are highly PO-ed that this stunt is doing incalculable damage to actual future victims.

[UCANSEE2]

no one has stepped forward to say “i drove you home.”

No one did. No one drove her there. Didn't have to, it was her parent's house and she was already there, already drunk.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

She’s going to have to be thoroughly destroyed and I just don’t see that happening.
I fear the worst.

This is her milieu.

An experienced professor in a classroom.

These are her students.

She knows how to focus the dialog and sell her message.

[dfwgator]

You have more faith in the American public than I do.

[P-Marlowe]

She’s a frequent flyer. What a lying SOS.

[Dahoser]

I understand that everyone is impatient here, but if I had to go in front of this prosecutor to talk about what I ate last night, I’d be shaking in my boots. She rocked her on the travel and with that rocking, she’s going to go after the rest of it. And Amy Klobuchar just stumbled into a bear trap by having Ford state what she clearly remembers because everything she clearly remembers did not include Judge Kavanaugh.

[JimSp]

I strongly disagree. That is a sign of a professional. i did not expect to be this impressed by Ms. Mitchell.

[Artcore]

Grow a pair!

[Mr Rogers]

“Mr.Whitehouse. Never heard of him.”

He received the majority of votes in an election with 380,000 votes total. It is kind of like winning mayor in a city. With Rhode Island, that is enough to become a US Senator.

[backwoods-engineer]

My wife wanted me to watch that show. After 5 episodes, I couldn't take anymore. Same schtick, this guy is afraid of everything but notices what others doesn't. Hoplophobia and gun-control rhetoric almost every episode.

Can't take it. Like I can't take Ford's "testimony" right now.
