Who do we like for SCOTUS?

[Skip]

Feinstein now including Ramirez and Swetnick in the circus. Bringing up the FBI talking point again as if that's proof of guilt.

He's blasting her!

Kavanaugh says he wanted the hearing the next day. Blames media and kicks it back to the committee.

[hollohas]

The Judge is a good man. No doubt in my mind.

He has a letter from 65 women from his high school years vouching for him. That letter came together in a single night. And more from college. And more from his adult life.

Ford has only her own story and nothing more.

How could any sane person think her story is more believable then his backed up by literally 100+ people?

We live in crazy town.

[Skip]

Hard "NO!" on saying more about Swetnick.

I think he passed by an opportunity here but he knows more than I do.

[Bailey Guns]

He made DiFi look like an idiot. To be fair, she didn't need much help.

[Skip]

"Have you ever grinded or ground your genitals on her"



That just didn't sound right.

[TFOGGER]

Once again, no matter what happens, this is a win for the Democrats. If Kavanaugh's nomination is blocked, they now have a successful strategy to go after all future nominees. If he is confirmed, they can use a broad brush to paint ALL Republicans as callous misogynists that are morally bankrupt. By developing the #metoo campaign and promulgating the notion that a mere accusation is equivalent to conviction, regardless of evidence or a total lack thereof, liberals/progressives/socialists have developed a strategy that conveniently bypasses any presumption of innocence. They have always been better than we have at long term strategic planning, and we have been fighting from a position of reacting rather than acting for generations. Now their plans have come to fruition: We have both houses of Congress and the Presidency, and are in a position to set the course of the Supreme Court for at least the next 30 years, and we can't do dick, because they have outfoxed us.

I don't disagree with the democrats being full of shit part at all. This entire thing seems very orchestrated to me, and it puts absolutely no one in an admirable position. Anyone who seems skeptical comes across as callous and uncaring by asking pointed questions about the story, or just trying to brush off something that happened a long time ago. Alternatively, if she is found to have fabricated any part of this, the Democrats will look like terribly sore loser cry babies. I can't imagine it would hurt the Democrats status much, because they already seem like sore loser cry babies, but the Republicans will still end up looking like they don't believe women and just got lucky once. The timing of all of this just couldn't be better for Democrats. In the heat of the #metoo movement, everyone is hesitant to be out spoken about not believing someone who's come forward about some past assault, because we as a society have been going through that constantly for the past few years. On top of all that, there is Cosby and Weinstein, who are perfect examples of abusers of women on a large scale, which is pretty much the picture they are trying to paint of Kavanaugh.

I do not like how emotional he is, crying, I am not sure how that will go across with the swing senators.

I wish the Republican Senators would be lending more support, not just leaving it to the attorney/prosecutor.

[Bailey Guns]

This isn't a new strategy for democrats and I disagree they've "outfoxed" us. One difference between republicans and democrats is this: for dems, the end justifies the means, where republicans believe in the process. The ideals of our justice system mean something to republicans...only the outcome means anything to democrats.

And democrats have been doing this for as long as I can remember. Hell...they used basically the same playbook to turn America against the Viet Nam war. Lie and organize...it was harder back then than it is now but they managed. They did it to Bork and to Clarence Thomas. They tried it with Gorsuch.

For democrats, lying is the strategy. It's just a matter of deciding what lie they need to tell and who they can use to best guarantee their desired outcome. They've gone all in with Ford. I think they overplayed their hand.

After watching Kavanaugh's opening statement, I'd say his odds of being confirmed have increased dramatically over even just earlier today.

The Dems literally created the MeToo movement as part of their efforts to destroy Trump after the release of the Access Hollywood video. They created the movement to try to swing the population away from Trump. Unfortunately for them, it's been almost completely big name Dems that have been caught-up in/exposed by the movement up until now.
