Yep, and they'll win more rounds to come than the Dems will win.

Confirmed by who and how ?  Do they know who did it ?  If she sent Mrs. Feinstein the letter, how did it get out ?  If she told one of her best friends  (as was suggested today in the hearings) and they did it, that's pretty fucking unconscionable on their part,. Betraying a close friends trust in such a way.

Public hangings seem like something the current GOP would support.

[Chuckie Finster 22,571]

Hours later, but Kavanaugh’s extreme partisanship, unstable temperament, and willingness to distort the facts about the testimonies in the case are sticking with me far more than any of the assault talk.

 

I, obviously, believe Dr. Ford. But I do understand where the “there’s no corroborating evidence” people are coming from.

 

I do NOT understand the people who think that performance today was worthy of the highest court in the land. That might as well have been Hannity up there. We all know each justice leans a certain way, but to be openly hostile towards an entire party is unprecedented and troubling. His nonchalance with lying about minuscule things (who gives a fuck if you watched her hearing?!) would have disqualified pretty much anyone else in a different era. But “fuck the libs” is all that matters, so on we go.

 

What a shitty day for the country.

You guys calling/implying for a sexual assault of Johnnys daughter really need to take a break

[Celery Man 20,832]

I'm about to join Brisket on the ledge, drinking Topo Chico and throwing the bottles into the abyss.  I'm disappointed we didn't and will not get any kind of actual effort to look into Ford's claims, and for that reason and his refusal I hope Kavanaugh is right about his reputation.

It is. But the blissful thing for him is that if she’s ever assaulted, he won’t be burdened by ever hearing that bad news, because she knows what’s up - all women do. Speak up, get shredded and turned into the bad guy.

So, Johnny will never have to hear that she got raped. AND he’ll never have to hear all the allies of the fine, innocent boy she accused tell everyone what a drunken slut she is, and/or a vindictive bitch who is just trying to ruin his life.

So, y’all don’t worry. Johnny’s gonna do fine. His daughter, maybe not so much. But he’ll never know.

Today changed everything for my daughter.  I’m shipping her off.  You should too.

No dumb fuck - the GOP refusing to do an actual investigation wronged the entire country....including Dr. Ford.  

All of the mouth breathers who think that, when there is a dispute about what happened between two people when there is a third person in the room, there is no need to talk to the third person.  Those deplorable short bus thinkers who refused to let the accusers and the accused be interviewed with equal criminal liability for lying, they wronged her.

Best scenario would be that more comes out between committee and the full Senate vote where he doesn't get through. And republicans have to live with all the shit theyyre going to say in the next few days.

Yeah, and a lot of Trump supporters are letting her know they won't support her if she votes no.  I don't think she is going to alienate 45% of her voters.  But really, who knows?

So she alienates 55% instead?  Alaska is 15% Native American, 5% Asian, 3.5% black.  These all lean heavily Dem, but don't usually turn out.  She just needs to turn them out.  On top of that, half the white voters that make up 65% of Alaska are women. 

And really, its 2018.  Her next election is in 2022. Trump does stupid shit on a daily basis that causes splits between the MAGA crowd from normal people.  This vote won't even come up at all in 2022, especially if Trump is done in 2020.  But even if he's not done, there will be a million other things MAGA will be whining about and this vote will be as old as birtherism.  You know she's a woman, right? She could vote exactly as Trump wants, Roy Moore could move to AK, and MAGA is gonna vote for Roy Moore over her.

Since he was going to get confirmed anyway, I’m glad he made those insane, conspiracy-mongering outbursts. He gave a very clear view to what the stakes actually are here and what role the court really serves. The “balls and strikes” horseshit is out the window now.

All I saw today from the GOP was anger toward Dr. Ford, the other accusers, and the Democrats. After #MeToo, after Bill Cosby, after "grab her by the pussy" we are still here. It is really fucking exhausting.   

   

The Democrats are the only ones I saw the GOP attacking. The GOP sat there and let that special prosecutor treat Ford with kid gloves for half a day. No pressure on a number of inconsistencies in her testimony and what the press has been reporting and what was in her letter.They knew that there was no new evidence Ford was going to give , so no reason to attack her. We know exactly what we knew this morning as what we did this afternoon. That is enough to Kavanaugh confirmed.

[TexArcher 37,414]

Here's an exercise any of us can do.

Suppose a coworker falsely accuses you of raping her after the company holiday party.  You didn't touch her; in fact, you were never even alone with her at any point.  All of your colleagues now know about the accusation.  Your career and your reputation are on the line.

What do you do?

Me: I demand a police investigation.  And I demand that I be given a polygraph exam and request that she submit to one, too.

You?

 I'm wondering how they found out who it was, if she'd only told her therapist and sent the letter to Mrs. Feinstein, and supposedly a couple very close friends (who wouldn't seem to be such close friends if it was one of them).  Not coming from her staff could just mean no one from her staff told the reporter.  

Those reporters are good with words and stuff.

I think he was a drunk more than a sexual predator. I think this happened and he really doesn't remember it. I think he probably has a drinking problem. It's what he's obviously most defensive about.

So setting aside the rape allegations you Trumpsters are just okay with the blatant perjury we saw today?

Are they winning? Then you know the answer. They’d shoot a man in the middle of fifth avenue, so long as they’re winning. It’s the only think that matters. The opposition better start playing that game, or it’s all over.

smh
 

No need.

I don't know. Third party? Better education system (e g., I'm from rural Western NY and went to school with a shit-ton of idiots)? 

If your answer doesn’t include “bloody violence,” you’re not reading the tea leaves well. There’s no ending to this that isn’t red.

I'm with you.  I feel like the whole country is morally bankrupt.  It sucks.

That’s reality. Shining city on the hill my ass. We’re hellbent on fully converting to an oligarchic shithole. And, American go-getters that we are, we’re progressing at breakneck speed.

You guys calling/implying for a sexual assault of Johnnys daughter really need to take a break

I hope to God it doesn’t happen. But I can also do math. There’s anywhere from a 25-35% chance it happens, statistically. And there’s pretty close to a 90% chance she won’t speak up about it. It’s probably higher, in her case. Her head of household is rather clearly not hospitable to such matters.

He's frustrated and frightened and angry.
