Oh god, so pathetically predictable.

The Rs have moved into personal attacks on the Senators opposed to Kavanaugh.

Blumenthal, Booker, Harris, Feinstein...hot pieces have been published in all of them.

God, what a sad, pathetic tactic.

Well **** all of these senators on both sides. All are self serving bitches. They don’t care about us or the country or doing what’s right. I wish we could put high school dropouts in power. Somehow I think the country would run better for us and stop lining the pockets of the rich and powerful.

That was interesting. I would love to watch a body language analysis from someone who is sympathetic to her case, and also a pro and con body analysis on Kavanaugh's performance. I would really love to see an analysis of each of them by someone who can at least pretend to be impartial (though impartiality is sure to fade away as familiarity sets in). Does anybody know if any of those exist?

More “both sides” rhetoric. Why?

What are democrats supposed to do? Just ignore credible sexual assault accusations against a man that clearly has character and temperament issues?

One side has brought these sexual assault crimes to light while the other side is desperately trying to cover them up and attack victims of sexual assault to confirm a man completely unfit for the Supreme Court.

Both sides?

In the end they don’t care if he did it or not, they will do whatever it takes to make sure he’s not voted in, just like the republicans don’t care if he actually did do it. They’re all crooks if you ask me **** them all

This. While I believe this kind of thing needs to be taken seriously, I do not believe a single one of them cares about the woman, or the act, or guilty or innocent. All they care about is power. So exploit the poor woman's pain to stretch things out to benefit one side, or ignore and discredit her to ramrod a questionable candidate through in a hurry for the other side. They are all a bunch of douche bags (although right now the repubs are ahead in douche bag points...DBP?). Man we are so ****ed right now in this country. Worst conditions imaginable.

Credible accusations?

Of all three, only Ford is remotely credible.

Ramirez, and Swetnick are obviously not.

Again, it’s hard for me to find anything credible with the absence of even one first hand corroboration (outside of the accusers) from 3 separate accusations and multiple witnesses given by the accusers. Since when did accusations become credible without evidence?
 
THis keeps getting funnier and funnier

The Ramirez allegation certainly is credible. This excerpt from the original New Yorker article gives a good example of why. That someone was able to independantly recall details such as the time period and location of the alleged event lends credibility to her story.

A classmate of Ramirez’s, who declined to be identified because of the partisan battle over Kavanaugh’s nomination, said that another student told him about the incident either on the night of the party or in the next day or two. The classmate said that he is “one-hundred-per-cent sure” that he was told at the time that Kavanaugh was the student who exposed himself to Ramirez. He independently recalled many of the same details offered by Ramirez, including that a male student had encouraged Kavanaugh as he exposed himself.

For an allegation to be credible no physical evidence needs to be present. Credible doesn't mean proven, it just means it's believable or plausible.

so credible is relative.

so if i say ford and all other witnesses are not credible. becuase i dont believe it and doesnt seem plausible to me!

nothing you can do about that!


or is theie a left wing minsitry of truth that gets to decide
 
After I had a chance to watch more of the hearing, I think just Kavanaugh's demeanor alone during the hearing is enough to turn me off from him as a viable candidate. Yes, I get he was under a lot of pressure, but the job he wants is a high-pressure job. Is that how we want our SCOTUS justices to behave when the going gets tough? **** no. To me he was basically going full ad hominem at the senators running the hearing, and usually people descend to that level when they don't have any other arguments.

And the veiled and not-so-veiled threats he made should be enough to get him sanctioned in his current job, imo. He may not have done what Ford said he did, but just the way he acted there was enough for me. Time to move on.

First. Hand. Corroboration. None. Nada. Zilch.

With the amount of people involved, named by the accusers, to not have any of it is absurd.

I imagine having our nations leaders accuse you of gang rape and sexual assault might make a person rather testy.

This. We'll likely never know whether or not he is guilty of the various allegations against him, but we're fractured enough as a nation as it is, and the SC is one of the few institutions left that hasn't been consumed with tribal partisanship. Kavanaugh showed obvious animus towards Democrats both in his opening statement and in his sneering contempt for the Democrats on the committee.

Considering everyone at the party is implicated in the assault (given that he was being egged on by those present) it really isn't absurd at all.

Not to mention the investigation into these claims is literally like two days old.
 
Im glad that stuff i did from the time i was around 16 years old until my later 20’s doesnt get dug up and blasted all over the media.

I did some pretty horrible **** in my day. Though i never raped anyone. At least there is that.

My list of regretful things i did would be very long.
