They will never shut up. Honestly Dr Blasey won’t be speaking at all as there won’t be time what with all the blowhards.

She does

Hence, the notion that she needs to play up being "timid and frightened". Maybe she doesn't really have that PhD. Maybe she isn't really a college professor?

Yes, it's almost as if she has aged since that photo was taken.

She looks good to me.

She looks wonderful.

I still find it horrible how the GOP has handled this whole thing.

Why have they brought in a prosecutor to ask her questions?

Why are people commenting on Dr. Ford’s appearance? I’m sure the worry and death threats have caused her lots of lost sleep. Right now she looks like she’s super anxious, almost panting.

Did Grassley forget to take his medication?

Republicans - 0 of 11; Democrats - 4 of 11

Prosecutor is because they didn't like the way it would look and sound if a bunch of men were questioning her. Her lawyers did like the way that would look and sound and fought hard to make them question her.

Is he going to let her ever talk or what? I find his tone very dismissive.

It's called an opening statement. Hold your horses. Dianne will do the same.

Girl lied

The timing is a clue here for kavanaugh These are false allegations

What has that to do with this? Do you have any proof that Ford lied? Do you have any idea how many women go through life as victims of sexual assault and never tell anyone?

People keep saying Ford is telling the truth. No she could be lying or confused

He has no credibility. He lies about everything. She is describing a traumatic experience that has replayed in her mind many times over the years. The yearbook, the "What happened at Prep stays at Prep," Judge's writings, and many other accounts reinforce her story adn discredit his. If you can't see that, you are a hopeless sycophant.

I went to a high school rampant with drug use - the worst in the County. Yet, I never so much as smoked a joint. If someone comes forward and claims they saw me smoking pot at a party, is part of the "evidence" that I went to a druggie school and other kids did a lot of it?

+1

No, but if your high school acquaintances and college roommates and neighbors all say they saw you regularly smoking pot. . .

What about the people at the pot-smoking party who say they never saw me smoke pot? Why ignore what they say?

Sure, you've got buddies who swear you'd never touch the stuff, other buds who say you were a mean drunk. And you've sworn that you're a virgin and a teetoler, well, maybe you drank a little bit, well, doesn't everybody? And anyway it was legal, or at least it was only underage drinking...

I believe you. I don't believe Kavanaugh.

Why would you believe me, and not Kavanaugh? My analogy is a parallel situation.

I went to a high school (public, but affluent) where drugs were out in the open, yet I never touched the stuff. Now I am about to be nominated to the SCOTUS as a conservative justice, and some old (liberal progressive) high school classmate from 36 years ago comes out and said I used drugs. No proof. no corroborating witnesses. In fact, one of,the students says he saw me smoke pot at some party, at some house, and named four other people who were there. They say they never saw me smoke pot.

That's what they have here.

That's just what his voice sounds like. Kind of like Senator Leahy. Horrible to listen to.

It already looks like Ford is choking up a bit and holding back tears. This is awful. At the very least, the optics of this are horrendous.

Now she's got half of her face under her hair.
