Brett Kavanaugh Confirmation Thread

[Anastasis 23375]

They really gonna make a deal out of the fact that she was trying to make the committee come to her instead of going to DC?  

[Eastwood 4394]

Are they trying to paint her as a hypocrite because she flies even though it makes her anxious? Seems like every flight I have ever been on has had a seat gripper or two.

Mitchell’s line of questioning this round is weird. 

Some dumb fucking Senator thought it would be a good idea to question her fear of flying based on the fact that she flies anyway, because apparently they wanted to make her even more relatable.

Enough with the polygraph.

"did you have any drinks on the plane?"

(just kidding, she hasn't asked that)

((yet))

[kevwun 15595]

My fil traveled all the time for work and had the highest airline status possible.  He never liked flying though.

How does someone truly wealthy go about having to run up 200k in credit card debt?

 

Asking for some wealthy asshole I know.  

[Bateshorn 9882]

I don't like to fly. I do it, but I don't like it.  If I was going to have to sit in that Dirksen hearing room and be cross examined, I'd probably be on the "honey, let's maybe drive".

[tantric superman 4667]

I thought she would on her own admit that "thanks to some friends, and a few Xanaxes, I was able to get here".

[Bozo_Casanova 26232]

OMG she actually said that it's easier for her to fly when it's for vacation.  

My wife is terrified of flying, and deals with it because she wants to go places. Millions of people do. What the fuck was this supposed to prove?

Do you even airline miles and elite status, bro?

[Huckleberry 32685]

So the strategy is to accuse Ford of having flown even though she claims it makes her anxious, despite the fact that her appearance has basically been about testifying despite the fact that she was nervous about testifying. Essentially it supports the argument that this isn't about her and that she is reluctantly doing it because it's important.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

[MidTexHorn 822]

My wife hates to fly, absolutely hates it. Freaks out the whole time. But she still flies all of the time with me - has to self medicate to do it though.

no shit right. i've never been the same since an interesting approach into DFW during a thunderstorm.

This. Stupid line of questioning is stupid.

[hayden_horn 11360]

also, full disclosure, i drove myself to the 2010 national championship game as an alternative to flying.

[bad_teammate 13125]

Having to go to marital counseling over a house remodel is the most believable thing anyone has ever said in human history.

The rubes will point out that she has flown before and now was scared so....it's all a libcuck athiest anuti-american plot so I can sleep soundly tonight in my all white suburb. That's the point.

It's wild. It also highlights that if she experienced a trauma that creates anxiety, she will fight through it the best she can instead of turtling up and crying, thereby eliminating the argument that if something truly happened, then why was she able to continue to function? Which Ivy Leaguer came up with this line of questioning?

[Gil Bang 25865]

Now her lawyer smacks Grassley, and does it well. 

[Anastasis 23375]

Grassley is getting owned over and over again. 

[WhatTheBuck 28700]

Who's that guy instructing Grassley?

Mine too.  A significant portion of airline passengers don't like to fly.  I think someone should ask Mitchell if she has ever been on an airplane or interacted with human beings.

Oh shit the slapdown from Ford's lawyer against Grassley and now Graham hopping into the shitshow. The burndown is happening, shit is starting to hit the fan and get chippy.

This is a current line of questioning in my household actually.

Right, but the people who are dug in and have chosen to believe Kavanaugh no matter what or not believe Kavanaugh no matter what are irrelevant. There actually are many people watching this and who will hear about it later who wanted to hear the testimony to make up their minds. This is a rare case where the entire American electorate gets to be one huge ass jury, not that we get a direct vote, but because public opinion polling after this is over will be important to what the politicians do.

For those who tried to come into this with an open mind, the airplane line of questioning does nothing but make Ford more relatable. It was a terrible idea.

[LongestHorn 759]

This goon looks like listeater ate Janet Reno.

[Bateshorn 9882]

I'm with Huckleberry:  This whole strategy to make her look relatable and human is an interesting line of questioning from the GOP.  Good work guys, maybe take the next Congress off.

[Js1 85056]

Graham 2020

Grassley 2022

Get the closeted woman hater and the senile old fuck out of the Senate. And replace them both with women.

I'm enjoying watching these dickless, gutless, spineless Republicans passing off their time to Mitchell.  There is no bigger pussy in the world then a present day Republican politician.
