Yup. Lots of PPs were telling Grassley to shut up, but look how long Feinstein is blabbing on. I have the set on mute.

Old white woman are okay...it’s only old white men that are a problem.

The optics of this are beyond horrific. I don't see the Republicans recovering from this regardless of outcome.

I'm astonished that this hearing is actually happening. I thought the Senate Republicans would have been smarter than this.

Apparently not.

Agree but shouldn’t people be looking beyond the optics and trying to establish the veracity of her statements?

seriously? but she can ruin a mans life on claims that have not been backed up?

I've known many women who've been sexually assaulted and never reported. I've known many men who've hit women (in front of me) and denied it flat out. I've never met a woman who fabricated assault for any reason. This is something some abuser came up to deny his rape. Some myth. I believe *her*. For every time I've been scared to stay late at work with a male supervisor, for every time I was touched inappropriately, had my ass groped, been grabbed, been molested as a child and told by the media or society that *I* encouraged it or deserved it by existing. That I had to prove my innocence because they automatically were guilty. I believe HER. And *his* life is not ruined. This is America after all. He is a white rich dude and he will be just fine if he's not SCOTUS.

Nobody think it is ok. But this was her choice. She had a choice to go to file a police report about sexual assault. She had million of chances to do it over 35 years. She chose not to do it. She chose to hire a poligrapher, she chose to write to her senator instead of her prosecutor, and she chose to go through this for God knows why. I agree that she is doing it for politics.

BINGO!

This is a job interview. I'm sure you haven't gotten a job for something of way less consequence. Rep can find someone else who has a better character. Look at Gorsch.

Me either. Women are going to put up with this, excluding the crazy Evangelicals and Trumpers.

This is excruciating.

Why isn't ANYONE reporting the alleged "gang rapes" to the Montgomery County Police Department?

They apparently want to investigate, but can't until SOMEONE makes a report.

Maybe someone will. But MCPD won’t announce it to the world...

You know who’d be thrilled to see Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court? Thomas.

Unfortunately you explain it just like that.
