Blumenthal the emetic senator. He really should have some shame. At least throw ford a softball question. A new low for pandering with every time he opens his mouth. :(

He’s a scumbag.

Stalling until real questioning starts again.

Yes. My granddaughter is at a 4-year college now and they try to humiliate the Southern accent out of them. The local college I attended didn’t do that but I had one instructor from Wisconsin that liked to make fun of us. I ignored him.

The lies I’ve heard so far. She cannot remember who drove her to and from the incident, doesn’t remember whose house it was even though it was a small party.Didn’t know that the senate committee offered to come see her in California even though the entire country knew that. Doesn’t know if she let the Washington Post read her therapy notes directly. Spends life flying around the world surfing but claimed to be afraid to get on airplanes.

In her early testimony, she stated that while laying on her, Bret held his hand over her mouth and that was the thing that traumatized her the most. It was only later she made it about sexual assault.

Funny you should mention that. My mother-in-law was a born and bred New Yorker - Brooklyn to be exact. Although college educated and a proper woman, she did apparently sounded a bit like the wife in the sitcom “King Of Queens”.

Back in the 50’s, she met her future husband (a Kansan) when he was in NY on business. They married and the husband later encouraged her (but did not force) her to take classes where she could tone down her NY accent. She did.

In later years, we’d stop over at the house and all was well ‘til she got on the phone with her sisters in NY and then BOOM! - the NY accent came out again.

and Leland - her good friend - said she never met Mark Judge. she has the problem of no one on her list backing her up.

today she revised her:

what’s app entries

letter to DiFi 3 discrepancies

her testimony about “conversations”

number of people in / at party is a moveable feast

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

flying phobia - blown out of water

spoke about incident to her beach friends - who are they? and “Definitely Not” her parents - making calls from driveway and Walgreen’s parking lot

she wanted to remain confidential but was hiring lawyers end of July.

I don’t see how it’s possible to not remember hand-delivering a copy of your medical records to a WaPo reporter. Another lie.

She’s clearly reading her responses to the Democrats’ questions


It is almost certain that for the last few weeks she has been practicing the answers the DEM’s intend to ask her.

No... I see EXACTLY where this line of questioning is going.

They are establishing that certain information wasn’t public knowledge until such-and-such a date.

They have also established that she doesn’t know how she got home.

What they will provide is information from ANOTHER individual who could not have known his details because certain information did NOT become public knowledge until later.

Moreover, it is clear that this person is the person who drove her home. They asked questions about the amount of alcohol and drugs she had taken because that person will also say that she was fully inebriated and more.

The setup is clear to her lawyers, too. Anyone with a legal mind sees what is happening.

I wonder if every place where she is recorded in a YouTube was scrubbed by her friends at google. It would be so Interesting to contrast her voice giving a presentation to an audience of professionals or teaching a college class with this creaky voice.

It’s possible Mitch had 50 votes locked-up going into this thing and they are just going through with the show and not beating her up too badly.


Bingo. I think even the usual waffles on the GOP side have been upset with how this whole thing went down......

Consider for a second that Kavanaugh is currently one of the top justices in the United States in his current position. Compare that gravitas, with the character references and exemplary life, to the circus this has become and there is NOTHING in the testimony today that justifies a no vote. Period.

The July 30th letter to DiFi was hand-delivered by Eschews office. No postmark. Maybe the letter was written at a later time?

I had the same thought. Like maybe AFTER she had that "brief phone call" with Feinstein in August?

"If I had answered my doctorate defense questions the way she does today I would have been laughed out of the room."

Maybe she didn't have to answer any questions, if you get my drift.

So far I’m VERY disappointed with the prosecutor speaking for the GOP senators.

At this point I would say it was a big mistake to have this prosecutor do all the questioning and talking instead of the senators. Lindsey Graham could have carved her up in less than five minutes.
