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.

“Leahy = sick bastard.”

You have a “mute” button; use it. You can get coffee, toggle over to the prayer thread, go pee ... all kinds of things. That’s what I do. No need listening to the Rat bastards.

Go swim in your hatred. You have no more insight into what’s in the minds of these men then I do. Glad you’re not running this, you’d have millions of feminists bussed in to burn it all down.

[CottonBall]

Yep, sucking up taxpayers dollars for way too long. He needs to get a real job.

[Mears]

This entire thing is getting truly bizarre.

>>I doubt you’ve had to watch your wife, children and parents go through what he has just watched. But it’s OK that some cry and some don’t.

I don't have his background, so maybe those things are cause for him to cry for nearly half an hour.

But I watched a child die in the 70s of something that is easily dealt with here in the 2010s. I very nearly watched my wife and unborn child die thanks to a drunk driver, and said drunk driver took my flying career away from me (he received very little punishment in return). I watched my father, the strongest man I've ever known, slowly fade away from Alzheimer’s, and we couldn't even properly say goodbye to him because he didn't know who we were at the end.

Those are the kinds of things that have made me cry for extended periods.

But Kavanaugh's confirmation? If I were him, I'd be spitting fire, but I wouldn't be crying and choking up over it. But again, his background is vastly different than mine.

So what happens now?

Principles hell

The GOPe are scared

That’s why the dog and pony show

Not principles

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Ya mean Ole Repeat, Repeat, Repeat, Repeat, Repeat and Repeat again and again and again? THAT Hannity? Because of that, I can take about 3 minutes of him and switch stations.

[Theodore R.]

How low VT has fallen since the days of native son Coolidge

“No need to make it a major point.”

And yet she asked him but not her.

[Fishtalk]

Border collies are beautiful.

[KC Burke]

Yes, great memory there.

Leahey, the only Senator told to “Go F-— Yourself” by Dick Cheney in front of every member of the United States Senate.

[EnquiringMind]

Old creep Leahy sounds drunk!

Oh, yeah. Shi!faced.

[yesthatjallen]

Watch Fords' lawyers in the background. Note the question Kvanaugh is being asked and when they start writing.

They're taking notes to create a new timeline and narrative.

[weston]

Mitchell is doing a very credible job.

[VRWCarea51]

try “where the red fern grows”.

IMHO much better than Ole Yeller

[mewzilla]

“I’ve been on this committee 44 years” - Sen. Leahy”

The Senate has become our very own House of Lords.

Our Founders are spinning.

[CottonBall]

Just now saying it would be investigated by local police, not the FBI. And that there are no statute of limitations. Meaning, I assume, that if the Bimbo was serious, she would be pressing charges.

I disagree. I muted them all throughout Ford’s BS, but it’s worth listening to them here because Kavanaugh has ripped each of them a new asshole, in turn.

The Mitchell “interrogation,” though, is 100% a waste of time.

[blackberry1]

It doesn’t matter if its in the hearing. It’s on the record.

NO VOTES are changing. This is a show.
