Yes, I can. Both of them were in professional settings acting unprofessional, unable to control themselves, and entitled. Both of them showed poor judgment and self-control. I can’t believe how many republicans make excuses for Kavenaugh’s abusive adolescent temperament while interviewing for one of the most important jobs in the world. Inexcusable. Robert Meuller was falsely accused of sexual assault too and he acted an adult. Because he’s not an abuser with anger issues. |
I would expect anyone falsely accused of gang rape to passionately defend themselves. I would also expect democrats not to pull 11th hour stunts to try to tank a nominee. My expectations are clearly too high when it comes to democrats. |
| This woman is what I picture most of DCUM to look and act like. |
So why are you here if you're so above it all? |
To teach us harpies about how to be classy ladies. We should be thanking him. |
You have the wrong perception of us. |
As a lawyer, Kavenaugh knows that staying calm during questioning is more persuasive. But it’s one more way he showed he can’t control himself. People who understand human behavior and recognize red flags saw a man who exhibited all the behavior or someone capable of the crime. It made him look guilty, not “passionate”. If your coworkers and family members act like this, I’m sorry. It’s not normal or healthy. |
| Her personality is as unattractive and unappealing as her physical appearance. |
New poster here How many times have your coworkers and family members (or you yourself) been falsely accused of gang rape in front of the entire world? How did you (or your coworkers and family members) react each time? |
And how many times have Vance or Stephen Miller gotten snippy with reporters during interviews? It's practically the Republican mantra to sneer at the media. But when a Democrat does it, oh no, she's disrespectful! |
I bet it keeps you up at night knowing he's in his position for the next 25 years and Katie Porter has as much chance being elected governor of California as she did senator. There isn't even a 1% chance that she even tries a case before SCOTUS, let that sink in. |
| Clearly most people commenting on how nasty or whatever she is either haven't watched any of the videos or haven't seen Trump and his accolades being far more combative and downright nasty to reporters. She gives pushback on round and around way the reporter wants to get a gotcha moment and you all pounce. 6 pages of bs here. |
DP. This is an irrational take. Of course the gravity, setting and tenor of the question asked will impact the behavior of the person answering. What this interview shows is that when (not if, in my opinion) bad information comes out about Porter and she’s in a Senate hearing, she will behave worse than Kavanaugh did, and that is a very low bar. Her behavior here is indefensible and in a state where people are restless and angry with Democrats, that creates a vulnerability that should not exist. |
They think toxic masculinity is tough and admirable. They think women can’t get angry, unless, of course, they look like blow up dolls. Then it’s hot. MAGA is all people with personality disorders and abusers. |
Well, she’s not being compared against Vance or Miller. She’s being compared against every other candidate in her race who answered the exact same questions from the exact same interviewer respectfully and thoughtfully. |
