I bet Dr. Ford not once even thought of the democratic and republican side of her experience. Personally I feel that if Kavanaugh was truly innocent he wouldn't have danced around the question if he would want an FBI investigation. He's not a judge he's a dancer and a dancer dance's ~ oops he fell lololol ** sniffs glass ** hmm vodka don't have a scent but this lime is potent.

I watched the entire hearing yesterday. I thought that Dr. Ford was trustworthy, articulate, and gave an honest account of her horrific experience.

I found Kavanagh to be aggressive, angry, and belligerent. Actually, that is exactly how his classmates described him drunk in his youth.
I will be very disappointed and even angry if he is placed on the Supreme Court.

Just my thoughts here.

Flake is voting yes in committee but the word is he's trying to trade that for a brief FBI investigation. That will probably change things. I read Collins' offices are swamped, but I also read that Republican white women in Maine are conflicted. Jeez. I still think he'll get the job, but this is a nail biter.

So Murkowski just said her vote is dependent on a one week delay for an FBI investigation. That's it. Flake and she can block the appointment. People must be talking to McConnell and the White House now to set this up. I wonder how Donald can try to make it sound like it's his idea to bring the fbi in.

I watched the entire thing yesterday … her four hours and his... I don't know how long. What a complete cluster f*ck! I don't think I can watch anymore … pissess me off just too much!

There was a time when I could respect Republican views … positions on certain subjects. I didn't agree with most of the their views, but I could at least respect their earnest beliefs. Now?! F*ck... WTF is wrong with those people???

Once the FBI confirms that the guy is a drunk and a big, fat liar, (as they are motivated to do) the GOP-led committee can still vote to confirm him if Trump scares them into it, but without Flake and Murkowski's vote they can't win. This is a lose/lose deal for the GOP, but these cheaters deserve to get knocked back after they stole a SCOTUS pick from Obama.
Their sanctimony only made them seem like even more arrogant cheaters. By the mid-terms, if everyone who needs to vote wakes up and does it...it'll be KABOOM for the reicht wing.

In my opinion, one week is all the FBI will need to totally discredit the beer drinkin' judge, because the FBI knows this Kavenaugh clown was chosen by Trump strictly because he's written about how he thinks no president should be investigated, impeached, indicted or anything while he's in office.
The FBI has enough axes to grind; they will happily expose Kavenaugh as a black out drunk who forgets his habit of raping (or attempting to rape) women while he's under the influence.
If you watched his rebuttal after Dr. Ford gave her testimony yesterday, you would have seen him come unglued, badger a female senator, and question male senators, as in, "No, I am not a problem drinker, ARE YOU? Well, are you?" He's a judge, and he pulls that kind of crap?
Just his rage issues alone should disqualify him.
The guy is so nuts, his antics took Trump off the front page, for once.
This morning Trump said if the Senate leaders wanted the FBI to get involved, he was fine with it.
Even Trump may realize this guy has no up-side.

Even with all of this, I still think he will get voted in. Every day is a shit show, and I stopped asking myself when are certain people going to finally see it because it is beyond that at this point. There is an absolute blatant disregard of Trump's behavior, and Kavanaugh's behavior. They Don't Care. They want what they want because they want it.

I would so love to be wrong, but I will have to see it actually happen to believe it. So while I wait, I hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

You may be right, but IMO, with the entire staff of the FBI authorized to dig up dirt on Judge Brett Budweiser by acting director Rod Rosenstein, I suspect they will do whatever it takes to squeeze his buddy Mr. Judge into admitting that his book character, Bart O' Kavenaugh, the drunken car puker was modeled on Brett Kavenaugh. Not much of a leap, ey?
Though the Senate GOP are pretending that one week won't make a difference in getting this guy on the SCOTUS bench, they are leaving out the motivation the FBI will have in nailing this loser.
Add to that, Trump's sudden laissez-faire in "allowing" the FBI to start digging, tells me the guy is already under Trump's bus.
If Trump was willing to be this passive about the FBI checking into his get out of jail free judge, think of what Trump must already know about the guy. Trump suddenly finding someone distasteful is like making a maggot gag on something even worse than a maggot.
Something seems verrrry fishy about this latest twist.

I watched the whole thing too. Kinda which I didn't … just ended up pissed the rest of the day.

RE: K's behavior.... very typical of someone who knows they're in the shit and has no relevant … logical … evidence … facts … whatever … to prove their innocence. So, instead they try to convince you of their innocence with the only thing they do have, emotion … anger ... indignation … hurt feelings... shock... dismay... back to a anger again... martyrdom … yadda … yadda … yadda… and they'll go through those emotions again and again and again … because they have nothing else.

How dare a Federal Judge speak to U.S. Senators with such back talk and nasty tone! I am sure Judge Kavenaugh would NOT allow that in HIS courtroom. This man (and I use the term loosely) is not Justice material. Thank God Senator Flake is the Brakeman on this runaway train! Oh....and I am thankful for those two women who cornered Flake in that elevator! They brought a reasonable man to his senses.
