P.S. Re Kavanaugh himself, I was never over-the-moon about him but felt he’d be better than fine if he’s committed to preserving the Constitution and would rule that way. But we absolutely MUST get him seated. And him; nobody else. If this fails, we all fail, including America.

I too would like somebody who is committed to preserving the Constitution, and perhaps Kavanaugh is such a person. But couldn't Trump have found somebody like that without this baggage, which is being ignored:

Ford had never heard of the counseling that Mitchell mentioned.

That was perhaps the closest to checkmate I saw all hearing. Brilliant.

Mitchell: "Hey, PhD in Psychology who's written papers on Children's Trauma, have you ever heard of a Cognitive Interview, which is the industry standard backed by experts, for investigating trauma?"

Ford: "Uh, no."

Mitchell: "Hey, you might want to learn about that, being in your field of expertise, after all. That might have been a better option than getting an attorney, a polygraph, and coming here."

Ford: (uncomfortable silence)

“Questions in advance?”

And Ford said, “No.” Of course we know that her attorneys received every single Rat’s question days ago, in time to prep for testimony. Who does she think she’s kidding?

“Mitchell should have asked questions about how Ford got home. Did you walk? How long would car ride from the party to your home have been? Did you go straight home? Etc.”

She did. Wasted a bunch of time showing a stupid map instead of just asking who drove her home. Of course Ford convieniently remembered nothing. IIRC Mitchell didnt even ask if she told the driver. Unbelievable incompetence.

You can’t hit the girl, especially when she’s crying (whether real tears or not). All you can do is gently show the inconsistencies in her story, which is what happened. Many women aren’t buying these theatrics.

Wow Lindsay Graham is on fire in Fox interview! It’s over for her according to him.

If Lindsey would get right on immigration, amnesty and immigration law enforcement, he'd be one of our best senators. But, I've seen no signs of change in those areas yet.

Furthermore—Are PhD’s just given out to anyone?

They do have to have the ability to pay and that is the main requirement. Professors have to pass their students or they don't keep their kush assignment.

Too bad we don’t have any lip-reading FReepers. It might’ve come in handy with the SJL/attorney exchange. Also when Ford covered the mic to confer with attorney.

I am near deaf and can read lips fairly well. If you post the specific clip, I will take a look.

>>>Anyone who thinks that Dr Ford’s I am an unsophisticated 15 year old pretending to be a PHD in psychology, but I know nothing about forensics, polygraphs, or attorneys routine is a dolt, and should be treated as such<<<

There are 100 to choose from. When the Votes are counted we’ll know who the Dolts are.

“In Cali, they give out Ph.Ds in Cracker Jack boxes.”
If it weren't for affirmative action many professors like Ford wouldn't qualify as Starschmucks baristas at minimum wage.

"The senate numbers are already counted. Stop worrying."

This is about November elections as well as the supreme court.

My daughter lives in SC and I asked why they kept re-electing Graham. She said he gets stuff for his state - an important function - and also he’s conservative and a good speaker - but for some reason he buckles when votes come up. I think both the election of Trump and the death of McCain have set him free.

You disagree.

Does any of this matter do you think?
Lindsay Graham thought the issue was convincing senators they had been punked. Maybe he knows what the 4 recalcitrant senators are thinking.

Mitchell showed there was flat out lying about flying

She showed that the hearing was undercut for political reasons.

She showed that political folks paid for Ford’s expenses.

She showed that Feinstein violated the woman’s request for anonymity.

She showed the woman still doesn’t know how she got home.

She showed Ford doesn’t have a good memory on recent things like counseling, emails, reporters and letters.

Your #3597 is a good post, bro.

I will add, 5) The Defense has not yet put on its case. (And it has a very alert witness.)

Watch Mitchell throw him 5 minutes filled with crisp, rapid fire Y or N questions that brings it all together.

(At least I damn sure hope so; but, of course, the vote comes down to political leanings.)

The committee will be putting that together. She asked the questions they already had answers for. She spent so much time on the timeline because they already new the timeline.
