We all agree the cartoon, while not directly critical of the child, was in bad taste and does not reflect the views of most people.

And for anyone wondering about the kids at Senate hearings, it's relatively frequent. My neighbor was told to bring his family to his hearing - cute wholesome family would make him look good, blah blah blah...

Personally, I tend to be OK with using children to paint a positive image, and never OK with using children to paint a negative image.

I find this nominee and his supporters offensive.
But this is a distraction. Move on.

Cartonnist targeting Kavanaugh's 10-year old.

This needs to stop. Take a vote and move on.

She' not being targeted, there is NOTHING negative about the child in that cartoon

You’ve been brainwashed. Children should be off limits.

Yet Kavanaugh brought her up, referred to her in his public hearing...

Do you not see the difference between what he said about his daughter and the message the cartoon is sending?

The point is she is entitled to her own privacy. No one, including her dad, should be forcing her into the spotlight. Don’t bring her into the conversation at all.

Her dad brought her into it. He shouldn't have.

By way of comparison, the Clintons were notorious about sheltering Chelsea and despite that, she was pillaged for her looks and the suggestions of being Web Hubbels daughter.

It was a very cheap trick that made me cringe. He was using his child to get sympathy.

Big Gaps in credibility here....

You need to move on from Ford. Kavanaugh has serious liability for perjury before the Senate, its investigators and potentially the FBI.

He has already been fired from Harvard, and I would say it is pretty likely he will be disbarred and removed from his current position.

Kavanaugh knew some of this was coming. That’s why he trotted out his girls and kept repeating the story about how he coaches middle school girls basketball.
He wants this job more than anything and this is his one shot. He will do anything to get it, including lie and perjure himself. America has seen enough. It’s time for an exit strategy.

And no job interview I ever had asked asked my drinking in college. ESPECIALLY when I was 30 years past college.

I would take that as a sign, frankly. To step away from the job. How can he do his job after this? He's supposed to be a judge, not a president. A judge embodies the impartiality and justice of our entire system. If half the people don't trust you whatsoever, it's a no go. They need to get someone else. This is pure incompetence on their parts.

You do know that EVERY Democrat on the SJC voted against Gorsuch as well? No conservative will get any support from Democrats. That is not going to make a candidate a no-go. It makes the Democrats incredibly partisan.

No, I don't know that. Because you're wrong. Something you could easily have figured out with a handy search tool called google which can show you with little blue and red circles that there were Democrats who voted for Gorsuch.

From Matt Damon to Kanye West, SNL's season premiere was full of moments to keep fans talking.

We are relieved to report that Colin Jost and Michael Che got their groove back in time for the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live." The first five minutes of "Weekend Update" – dedicated to controversial Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh – was funnier than all of their bits from the Emmys combined.

"Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford appeared Thursday in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and it was a classic case of 'She said, he yelled,' " Jost said in opening, adding, "Based on his testimony, I guess Kavanaugh thought the hearing was about whether he thought he was cool in high school."

After playing a clip of Kavanaugh professing his love of beer, he added, "I gotta say, you're not really helping yourself in a drunken assault case when you talk about how much you like drinking and how strong you were at the time."

As for Kavanaugh using calendars from 1982 as an alibi, Jost argued, "They don't prove you're innocent. It proves you're a hoarder."

He added, "Pretty much the only ones who kept their composure the whole time were the woman being questioned and the woman Republicans had to hire to talk to the woman being questioned. Now on an optics level, I get why Republicans did that. But if you're not the right person to ask questions at a Senate hearing, maybe you're not the right person to be a senator."

Che chimed in, "I just wanna remind everyone that all this yelling and crying happened at the dude's job interview! I mean, typically, when you're asked about a sexual assault and your drinking problem at a job interview, you don't get the damn job!"

While Che conceded that he didn't know for a fact whether Kavanaugh committed sexual assault or had a drinking problem, he added, "He might. You probably shouldn't be on the Supreme Court if you might. You shouldn't be on 'People's Court' if you might!"

Che also noted that the hearing and the surrounding coverage had taught him "a lot about what goes on at white prep schools. I never thought I'd say this but I'm sending my kids to a black school where it's safe."

He also asked: "Why does it have to be him? You can't just pick another dude from your Illuminati lizard meetings? Are Republicans so pro-life that you don't even have a Plan B for this?"

Wow. They KILLED it. I’m going to have to watch the recording.

“But if you're not the right person to ask questions at a Senate hearing, maybe you're not the right person to be a senator."”

Omfg. So funny/true.

No plan B.

When you know you have a past negative association with a variety of women, it is a bad move. In this case, it is backfiring in a big way.

Quite honestly, this whole thing is offensive. He should step down and let Americans move on to a qualified, non-political hack, sexual harassment/assault allegation-free candidate. There are plenty of other conservative judges.

It’s not a distraction. It’s a repulsive cartoon.

So true. And the worst thing is that certain elements of the Blessed Sacrament community have started referring to "Coach K" as "Coach Rapey." How cruel!


And them now starting to call him Coach Rapey is troubling too. It's just wrong!

and unfortunately growing in popularity, day by day. It's all "Coach Rapey" this and "Coach Rapey" that. What was wrong with Coach K???

There is only one Coach K and he is at Duke.

Yeah, I would think that calling someone "Coach K" in the vicinity of College Park would be worse than being called "Coach Rapey". Though "Coach Rapey" is pretty inappropriate, especially around children.

My kids go to Blessed Sacrament. There are more conservatives than liberals. I doubt anyone is calling him that. Source?

These are all trolls obviously

Are you saying the coach rapey posters are trolls?

If only. People can be cruel! Coach Rapey is not appropriate.

Still plugging for Coach Boof. Get him a jersey “Coach B8f” to make it subtle.

Not funny. Coach Rapey spreading in parish is troubling.

It isn’t! It isn’t a thing. Stop trying to make it a thing. You clearly don’t know anything about the school and the community.

Yes, and it needs to stop. Like now.

McConnell needs to craft a way out. This was never his guy anyway. Kavanaugh was a deal between Kennedy and Trump.

Kavanaugh is under water and the GOP knows it.

Well, it reflects the views of quite a few on DCUM. So that tells you something about the folks here.
