This is not over, Brett. You don’t get to lie your way out of this one. Not this time.

YEAH!! Get those pitchforks out!! Warm up the tar and feathers, y’all! We’ve got a man who claims he’s innocent - who does he think he is?!? Can’t have that.

If he’s truly innnocent, then I’m sure a FULL investigation of the facts will prove it, right? He can show us all how he plays that famed drinking game “Devils Triangle.” He can tell us what a wonderful friend he was to Renate. He can show us pics of him counseling all his boof-buddies to lay off the spicy food. Should be easy for him to prove his innocence.

Jeff Flake just left the hearing room with his Democratic friend.

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake just walked out of the Senate Judiciary Committee meeting, tapping Democratic Sen. Chris Coons on the way out. Coons followed him out of the room.

The two men are good friends.

Earlier today, when Coons was informed Flake intended to vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Coons got emotional. He teared up before saying, “We each make choices for our own reason. I’m struggling, sorry.”

- per CNN.

Those women who confronted him in the elevator earlier were powerful. Most powerful thing I’ve seen throughout this whole thing.

Did you watch his 30+ hours of testimony 2 weeks ago?
Yesterday he was there defending his reputation, his integrity and his livelihood. He was facing people who had called him “evil” and a “danger to all.” He was facing people who had proudly and publicly said, “I believe her” before hearing any testimony. He had every right to be angry. He had every right to show his fury at these ridiculous charges.
And, no, he could not adequately defend himself without showing his outrage. Had he done that, you folks would still say, “Look... he really is guilty. An innocent man would have more anger.”
Face it - NOTHING he did would please you.

This. So much this.

I honestly cannot believe some people think he should have somehow handled himself better. The man is being acused of sexual assault. I expect him to be angry and show it.

He is not presiding over a court case. He is defending his reputation.

+1,000
He had been very calm and soft spoken during his interview with Martha Macallum (sp?), but that was several days before the other outrageous claims came out. By yesterday, I imagine it was all he could do to speak coherently without breaking down. I had to listen on the radio since I was driving, but was in tears listening to the anger and pain in his voice, trying to hold it together. I can’t even imagine what it must be like to be accused of things you didn’t do, and having no way to clear your name.

The man was accused of horrible things that he flatly denies. I don’t know who’s telling the truth here, but those of you who believe Ford without reservation, may I ask why? Every witness she has named has refuted her claim. Yes, even Mark Judge who did so in writing, under penalty of perjury. No one has corroborated her account. Why is it that you have such certainty that he did it? I don’t get this utter glee some of you have about ruining this man’s life - with zero evidence.

For me personally? Because I've grown up in a political climate where the Republicans I knew touted family values, yet the cheated, lied, hit their spouses, yet flat out vehemently opposed the "godless" Dems. I grew up around men who molested young girls, lied about it, said women who dressed a certain way were sluts, yet at home with their wives literally raped their wives and go on and on about Bill Clinton at every possible occasion. Because I was punched and told it never happened. Because I was molested and told that my 7 year old-self probably did something to deserve/bring it on. Because I have seen this circle repeatedly tell me it's not OK to destroy families, and had no problem destroying Hillary and Chelsea. Had no problem trying to destroy Obama's daughters. Because this party has no credibility, and therefore I assume the lying hypocrisy is just part of their MO.

If Kavanaugh is truly the upstanding choir boy he is, he should have come out and said: This nomination isn't worth more to me than my family, I withdraw. I request the attacks and character assassinations on a woman we presume is a victim of assault stop. While I know in my heart that I am innocent of this charge, I will not character assassinate a woman and ruin her entire life, as my life and my family aren't worth more than hers, and victims of sexual assault have suffered long enough in this country. Maybe this is a moment for us all to look inward and understand that we have failed victims of sexual assault, and that more needs to be done. Then, Kavanaugh, you'd have had my backing and my sympathy. Till then, you're just one more man who rapes behind closed doors, and then rants on about Dems wanting abortions.

Sure. And, then we would have heard, “See - he’s guilty.” That is the biggest bunch of crap I’ve read today.
He HAD to defend himself. Withdrawing would have been an admission of guilt in the minds of Democrats - AND YOU KNOW IT.

I've never met a man wrongfully accused of sexual assault. Guess how many women I know who've been victims of it. BUT OMG HE HAS TO DEFEND HIMSELF. You don't have to worry about going to parties, going to work, staying late at work, being alive, for God's sake. Women do. So if by virtue of our experience, we know an abuser when we see one, we're not going to apologize for it. But go ahead, label us and try to silence us. It's what you do best.

I do know a man who was wrongly accused. It was not near as public as Kavanaugh’s wrongful accusation, but it was hell on the family.
It happens. And, that is exactly what happened in this case.

Well stated. This is how women live - always, always, always conscious of the violence that threatens us. And so many men choose not to listen, not to understand. They worry about the infinitesimallly tiny chance they’ll get falsely charged with rape instead of the fact that being a victim of sexual assault is something that happens to ungodly numbers of women. This is reality.

My BIL was falsely accused. The judge threw it out after a disastrous testimony by the accuser. It was blatantly clear that she wanted a settlement from his employer. But it took 2 years to get to that point, and they are bankrupt and in therapy. So I know all accusations are not valid and need to be judged on face value.

That said, yesterday convinced me that Bart is a blackout drunk at a minimum, and possibly guilty. And definitely a liar. So I would vote NO.

The suggestion is that both Kavanaugh and Judge were going to rape Dr. Ford.

I’m sure he is reading this board.
And, good luck with your future investigations. Yes, let’s hear from Julie Swetnick. I can think of nothing that would represent more of a circus than having Avenatti in a SJC hearing.

Betcha his wife is reading. Betcha all his neighbors are. Betcha all the parents of that girls basketball team he used to burnish his record are reading too. He doesn’t get to walk away from this.

Kavanaugh was an ass to the Democratic Senators yesterday. No democratic nominee could ever behave that way. Just look at how people turned on Howard Dean for his crazy enthusiastic yell!
