Republicans appear shocked at the idea of an investigation years after alleged crimes. Someone should ask if Denny Hastert should not have been investigated for his child molestation.
She obviously wasn’t yelling enough. Trump was getting antsy and wanted to see some action!
Kavanaugh has been evasive, non-responsive, and sarcastic in his answers — even to questions from the GOP side. Which is why all the right-wingers are desperately peddling the narrative of his “forceful tone” and his “fight” — because on substance, they have nothing.
I notice that Republicans don’t question any fact that their nominee is guilty of sexual assault, and lying about everything in his history.
They only bitch about the timeline, that it’s last-minute.
Who gives a shit if it’s last-minute if it’s true?
You just made the understatement of the century.
It’s last minute because they kept ignoring it.
Oh, I know. It’s what makes it so obvious that he knows and they know that he’s lying, and about just about everything.
The guy is a fucking idiot. All he needed to do at the start was admit that he was a drunken party guy when he was young, something may have happened, but he thought it was just playing around, nothing serious, and he’s so incredibly sorry that she was seriously harmed by his actions.
And he would have already been confirmed.
Instead, he’s down to the ridiculous claims that he never drank too much (the massive tell was when Mitchell asked him what “a lot” of beer would be, and he couldn’t answer), that he was basically a male Mother Theresa…
Wait… they hire the poor lady, bring her 2300 miles east rom Phoenix at great expense and noteworthyness to be their hired gun and then they don’t let her ask questions? What the living fuck is that?

Heh, he says he didn’t drink enough to “pass out” but just went to sleep? Parsing words without a difference methinks.
@ralph_vonholst, this doesn’t sound like the brawlers I know.
They don’t want her to question Kavanaugh because she would rapidly catch his lies.
Everyone who drinks on any regular basis knows how much they can drink before they’ve had too much.
And when she pinned Kavanaugh down on that right at the beginning, and he couldn’t answer what “a lot” would be for him, he would have been absolutely fried if she kept asking questions.
Or that his calendar captured all events, whether prospective or retrospective (a quick spot check shows things like “go to” party or whatever, but I didn’t see anything like “went to”… Just sayin’)…
They had to shut her up.
This is seriously messed up. They hire a professional prosecutor to grill only the victim in this alleged assault. I don’t care if you believe Kavanaugh, this makes the whole thing a joke.
Thanks for the play by play… I can’t bring myself to watch. Too much like dwelling on Fox News for me.
The Republican senators took over at the very moment that she was asking Kavanaugh about a party that included the names of the men Ford mentioned as having been at the party where she was assaulted. I doubt this was an accident. She was onto something and their extended temper tantrums were nothing more than a smear designed to take people’s eyes off the evidence.
Then as trump is fond of saying “THIS IS RIGGED!!!12!!34!!11!!!”
Riveting stuff. Wouldn’t miss it. Now they’re getting into an argument about how Dr. Ford’s story got out…
It has been infinitely plain that they have decided to drop the facade they usually hide behind and let it all hang out there. They want this guy on the court and that is that. You are welcome to think whatever you want. It worked for Trump didn’t it? His press conference yesterday should have been a signal,
