She has a physical injury that made her DH become a house husband since she is incapacitated. It's not that hard to Google it, which is how I verified what she was saying.

And this has been covered already, first PP. Keep up please!

He was a buffoon today.

Not in my book. He said what needed to be said, and I'm glad he looked directly to his left at the two who most needed to hear it.

He looked INSANE. I am in shock that that is a person who is supposed to be a leader in this country. Clearly cannot handle stressful situations very well. Not a good look.

I was expecting to see him start frothing at the mouth any minute. Just the qualities we want to see in a level-headed justice.

Exactly. My jaw dropped watching him act like a maniac

Total laughingstock!

Did Trumpus threaten to reveal to his constituents that he’s gay if he didn’t fall in line behind Trumpus’s fat butt?

I literally laughed at his hysterical “outrage.” Graham is a fraud through and through.

- NYT Editorial. Biased source you might say, but in this instance, I completely agree with them.

One thousand percent.

He came in basically saying, "I deserve this appointment and waa waa you're trying to take it away from me." Petulant and entitled.

My sense, too. He really has an arrogant, entitled air about him. “I got into YLS!”

He has been wrongly accused of horrible acts. He is not going to be calm and dignified. He’s mad as hell at this crap. And, yes, I would be very contemptuous of the Senators who managed to turn this hearing into a fiasco. I do not blame him one little bit.
And, the NY Times? Full of crap.

I’m sorry but I don’t think he is innocent. I find his assertion comical.

Hillary Clint9n has been wrongly accused of horrible acts. For decades. Do you see her losing control of herself? Brett acted like a drugged up teenager.

It’s where his emotional development stopped. Hey, I know! Let’s put a coked up alcoholic with the emotional range of a 15 year old on the highest court! Winning!

She testified she was never at any event with BK.

Game over.

They don't have the votes. But the sooner they vote on him, the sooner they can move on to the next one. Waiting won't improve things for Kavanaugh.

I don't like Kavanaugh. But it's just a hard fact of life that accusations without evidence about events from 35+ years ago are unlikely to succeed -- and will draw a backlash.

It's called karma.

Yep.

Golly, I don't think you meant to say "karma", but ok.

Honestly, given the conservative penchant for projection and Graham’s increasingly bizarre actions, I’m beginning to suspect that Graham actually does spiri cooking. Whatever they have on him.. it can’t just be that he’s gay, right? The nickname “Miz Lindsay” is common knowledge.

Mitchell: Did you pay for the polygraph yourself?

Ford: I don’t think so.

Mitchell: Do you know who did?

Ford: Not yet, no.

The lawyers said they paid for it! Did you not watch?!
She also said she has had to move twice since then.

And?

Polys cost hundreds/thousands. They are not free. She doesn't know "yet" who paid for it?

What does moving have to do with who paid for the poly?

Her lawyers paid for the poly. They are working pro bono. Two gofund me accounts have raised almost half a million dollars.

She wrote the letter to Feinstein on July 30 and started interviewing lawyers almost right away. Katz was recommended to her by Feinstein. Interestingly Feinstein didn't send the letter to the chairman or the FBI, but advised her to hire a lawyer and do a poly first. The prosecutor pointed out the right process to deal with it is to do a forensic interview in confidence.

+1. The forensic interview would have saved us from this fiasco but it wouldn’t have allowed Feinstein her Hail Mary pass to stop Kavanaugh’s appointment.
Interesting that the woman just happened to be from Feinstein’s state. Wanna bet. The Dems put out a plea to their donors to come up with dirt on Kavanaugh. Brin is from Maryland, too, and I bet there is a Google connection.

Russians love conspiracy theories.

Let's be real here:


The only reason Brett was willing to go nuclear in his testimony was that he was persuaded by others that his nomination was probably over, he had nothing to lose, and that his job was to get right-wingers to the polls on November 6.

Hence the eyebrow-raising theatricals - they were never meant to appeal to the broader public, or women, or Republican women, who matter the least in the GOP's mind (they're "female assistants" to their husbands and will vote the same way, right?). No. It's a last-ditch desperate effort to keep the Senate by appealing to the fringe.

Why? He said he knew of her. He didn't outright say he didn't know her.

She did nothing of the kind. Her friend said she didn’t remember. It’s not perjury.

Crickets, of course. They have the votes.

An election betting site is showing that nearly 80% of those who are putting money on the confirmation outcome on the site now believe Kavanaugh will be confirmed. This is up over 30% in the last four hours.
