Trump is the latest to call Dr. Ford compelling. If she is so compelling, why don't you believe her? That is having your cake and eating it too, as well. And he isn't the only one. Saying yes to Kavanaugh is saying you aren't buying what Dr. Ford said. So not compelling.

Collins is probably the same. Unless they find something really bad, really quickly, nothing will come of it, but hopefully the other accusers are heard as well. At least if we squint our eyes really hard, will have more to go on than, anyone who has ever known me knows I wouldn't do that. Everyone has done something that would shock some that know them. And the only thing that shocked many who knew Kavanaugh at that time was how many falsehoods he told yesterday.

I am pretty sure they don't have the votes without the investigation. Flake isn't just speaking for himself IMO.

To quote Donald Trump Jr. ...I love it. No way he thought this would ever happen. F Chances are even with an FBI investigation nothing will change. At least there will appear to be some effort.

If yesterday showed anything, we certainly haven't evolved since 1991. There are 9 justices on the Supreme Court. They get lifetime appointments. There are far more fit conservative candidates that could do that job. But instead, we get the judicial Trump. Sexual, financial, lies, just like the guy who nominated him to assure he won't be indicted. I would guess you think Addison Russell's ex wife is BSing too since she didn't come forward right away and he is denying everything.

So if Kavanaugh didn't do it, why did he lie about so many other things? It's not uncommon for women not to report it.

Considering the crime of which he is being accused occurred as a teenager and his alleged victim portrayed him as intoxicated, being a teenage drunk is very significant, and lying about it speaks volumes.

Lying is lying. He lied about a lot more. If he gave the real answer to boof, devils triangle FFFFFFourth of July, it would be on record. The fact is if lying is OK if it's about being a teenage drunk, then I guess sexual assault during that same time period of your life is OK too. The fact is, he wasn't the choirboy he claims. He drank a lot. He boasted a lot. The woman in question passed a lie detector and was more than convincing. In fact, several attorneys said she was about as good of a witness as you can put in that spot. They hid Judge. They don't want these others lying under oath.

I just find it odd that lying to the FBI is a crime, and ALL of his accusers want an FBI investigation, yet he and the republicans do not. You acknowledge you think he lied yesterday. He was under oath. Shouldn't that alone DQ him? Bill Clinton got impeached for lying about an affair under oath.

I don't think they could have offered Collins and Murkowski enough for their votes if it was determined he was a liar. It is really weird to me. So many people know he blatantly lied yesterday. That should be all over the news. Lying under oath has become acceptable for a Supreme Court nominee if it is only 99.99999% likely he was lying through his teeth.

This is how I look at it. Get a bulldog who knew what they were doing asking him pointed questions, and his lies or non answers would be exposed. It wouldn't change 47 or 48 votes, but it would have changed enough.

I think a prosecutor would have caught him in a lie and not let him off the hook, and then they would have no choice but to drop the nomination. He did sound like a spoiled 6 year old yesterday when asked any question.

I wonder if it is like a Trump rally where they get replaced if they aren't enthusiastic enough.

Exactly. At the very least, his view would call for some sort of investigation. What he is saying is yesterday was just a waste of time. Nothing mattered. She could be credible, she could be telling the truth, yes Kavanaugh lied, but so what? He doesn't believe in abortion unless he impregnates someone by accident.

It would take video of the assault for them to actually do anything, and that might not be enough. They could have audio of Judge egging Kavanaugh on and calling him by name, and it would be a lookalike.

There is a chance the women do, but I am pretty sure they have been bought off. Supposedly all the undecideds will vote the same way. It's pretty disgusting our elected officials can let a Supreme Court candidate get away with as many lies under oath Kavanaugh made, and basically dismiss what Dr. Ford had to say. Hopefully it leads to a movement to oust them all and bring in people who want women to come forward if something like this happens to them.

He was playing to Trump. Please the Supreme Leader, please the rest of the "republicans" who are afraid of him. It worked like a charm. Lindsay Graham joined in. Being obnoxious and crazy and yelling is the new way. It's pretty disturbing. Kavanaugh is just a brighter version of Trump, most likely with a drinking problem.

I think they all know he did it. They aren't that dumb. They just don't care.

This is exactly correct. This nomination would be over right now.

I just wish there was a way to get to these undecides and show them how much he lied. If that is OK, our country is in a lot bigger trouble than just the growing divide between the two political parties. The republicans impeached Clinton for lying under oath. Treat Kavanaugh the same way, or quit saying Dems made this political. They basically fired the person they hired yesterday when they were getting closer to the truth, and stopped asking this nominee questions, just feeling sorry for all he had to go through just because he probably sexually assaulted someone in the 80s. Of course they didn't say anything to the victim.

There is no question he lied. Even about small stuff. I can't get over boof. Boof was anal sex. Back then it was common to call your friends gay or a f** as a way to tease. Boof was used along those lines. I would imagine that is how he used it l. It probably was innocent and at the time, wasn't as wrong as it would be now. I used those terms and am sorry if I ever offended anyone. It was more being naive than being mean. It was pretty common. You would hear it hundreds of times a week easy. But calling it a fart was clearly a lie, and he was under oath. He definitely lied about Devil's Triangle. the FFFFFFourth of July I could never confirm was a lie, but chances are, as back in the day, a similar line to the one Avanatti said what the 6 F's stood for was used, it was 4 f's with finger and french being left out, So that was most likeley a lie. So how could anything else be considered truth? If he lied under oath, no matter how small he may have thought it was, it should DQ him from the Supreme Court.

White Sox attendance decreased from the prior season for the 11th time in the last 12 seasons. The only time it didn’t decrease, it increased 100k the first year they drastically lowered the price of the cheap seats.

The amount of lies yesterday, even on small stuff, was ridiculous. Apparentlysome of his Yale classmates were texting each other discussing the way he portrayed himself as a college student, and how inaccurate it was. The lies about his HS words. These are easy to see lies. And his Trump like behavior....acting like Trump is becoming a thing. Lindsay Graham is doing the same fucking thing. Act like Trump. It works . People that buy this as strength should be ashamed.

He said Boofing was farting. A blatant lie. I was in HS around the same time and boof was a big term then and it meant anal sex. It wouldn’t have been a good look for him to tell the truth there.

He doesn’t like to answer questions.
