[Loco 3754]

I think I have to nope out on the live feed..  I'm just too pissed, sad, heartbroken, fuck man!

[Js1 87183]

Dr. Ford has bigger balls than half the people on this thread and all of the GOP Senators in that room.

That is a clear indication that they don't have the votes and are anything but optimistic about getting them.

you are not kidding. all the sarcastic remarks on this thread need to be harvested and re-lived. 

because this is pretty heartbreaking and grassley's remarks prior to this testimony are going to haunt republicans for quite some time.

this is no anita hill testimony, despite the republicans' wish that it mirror it.

They still won't believe her. They'll say she's acting. They'll say she wasn't actually raped so it's not that big of a deal, it's just what boys do when they over indulge. They excuses and reason to not believe her or dismiss her will be coming.

It's just utterly heartbreaking.  Don't know what else to say.  I read the statement yesterday, but hearing her say it is brutal.   

John Cornyn on this very thing:

Narrator: But the live testimony was worse. Much worse than any of them could imagine.

Yeah.  I have the same sick feeling I had when the child separations thing started.   I don't give a shit about the politics - put some other staunch conservative on the court, I don't give a shit.  But this is just wrong and needs to end.

Imagine having to talk about this to cameras and this panel of absolute monsters.

Because she's not alone. So many of us have been there. I have friends who cannot watch because it bring up their own memory.

You know the worst part of this for Dr. Ford?

She has to look at Ted Cruz while reliving her trauma.

True. Don't read the texags thread on the hearing. It's predictable. Very predictable.

[retread 2951]

Such a travesty that the only way a victim can get justice is to relive the experience in front of 300 million people.

Me too. And for what it's worth, she sounds very much like them them when they have described their own experiences being assaulted.

the request of caffeine, again. can we get this lady a fucking cup of coffee?

[Johnny Sack 8397]

She’s coming across credible so far.   

[Woodrow Call 494]

That woman is stronger than any man in that room and it ain't close.

[Ghost of LL 15698]

That was extraordinary.

[WhatTheBuck 28930]

Real men drink their coffee black, Mr. Grassley. 

[Firemans4Horn 18533]

5 minutes for Grassley seems like an hour to the rest of us. 

[Caddox 952]

Very compelling statement. I just didnt detect any signs of acting or lying and I was damn sure looking for them. 

[triplehorn 2664]

This outside counsel is going to be fair.

this is not going to end well for you, when people drag up your posts on this thread.

[BrickHorn 18447]

The Republicans brought in this prosecutor for one purpose only: so they personally won’t be the asshole attacking Dr. Ford on TV.  They hired a substitute asshole.  Fucking cowards.

If she is an actor, then this is an Oscar- worthy performance.

So far, she doesn't seem like an asshole.

Grassley is so annoying

PJ went to see Rocky III with Brett, Squi, and Dee according to the 1982 calendar.

Grassley needs to shut the fuck up.

i think this prosecutor is a wolf in sheep's clothing (for the republicans). 

she is going to rip kavanaugh apart, i would reckon.

also, grassley needs to shut the actual fuck up.

I actually was defending the decision in the name of efficiency, etc., but I'm starting to buy this argument, especially after hearing a segment on the Anita Hill hearing.

[WhatTheBuck 28930]

Well, this is going smoothly.

How about it counselor? After one round of questioning do you think Ford's a good witness? If I was on a jury, she seems very credible. 

Also, if i was on a jury here - the staffer doing the questioning seems like she is attempting to set a credibility trap, but does not seem to be on the same page as Grassley. Where do you think she's going?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

So are they not going to let her finish her answer?

[bad_teammate 13524]

Someone needs to keep track of talking time. Grassley needs to be euthanized.
