This is not a trial.

In any forum, the accused must go second.

And the second one just as irrelevant as the first.

On the other hand, the second is the reason I don't think Kavanaugh would throw Garrett under the bus and why Whelan acted without BK.

This is a big thing.

She believes Ford on what basis exactly?

Zip.

It isn’t. You have opinions, as do we all. You are not an objective arbiter of facts, notwithstanding your imperious, moronic, hot takes.

Because women who have been in her position, know. Women just by being women, have often been in this position and are fed up with being the "boys will be boys" BS, or the dismissals, or the name smearing. We're fed the F up. Even the old, conservative aunties are tires of this sh!t.

The story can change every day. They don't care. They're all laughing at the hoopla they're creating. What a circus.

Are you "fed up" enough to STOP raising your boys like entitled brats who deserve what they want?

Well according to Mazie Hirono, Kavanaugh can't be telling the truth because of his judicial philosophy. Scary this woman is on the committee.

Scarier that this woman has a law degree.

This calendar stuff weirds me out. Imaginary version. Sunday: church, church, and more church. Watch football. Maybe try this new ethnic food called nachos. Tuesday: Britches for new navy sports jacket, striped tie, and Oxford shirt. Wednesday: study the Laffer Curve. Thursday: pretend to bully the neighborhood nerd with glasses (just joking!). Friday: movie. Maybe Fast Times at Ridgemint High? Party later? Saturday: free time.

This is good.

I have been one of the posters who thinks CF's story does not hold together in the least.
