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.

Why would they? Under oath , Devil’s Triangle is a drinking game. Boof is farting. All lies. Blatant lies.

I wonder how she passed a polygraph.

Normally, I would agree with you, but I saw an interview with Collins, and there was something about it where she seemed bought off. She did say he wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade, which I find hysterically naive. But perhaps now she has no choice. That's the hope.

Again, I was watching something after I came home from the Sox game last night, and the reporter said he talked to many GOP people, and according to them, having Kavanaugh seated on the SCOTUS, would be well worth losing both the House and the Senate.

It isn't, but it doesn't mean the senators that want to confirm him really care.

Did she tell him right away? Why didn't she or her loving parents immediately call the police? Must not have been a bad rape.

FFFFFourth of July.

He even has the Trump sniff going. Granted I am not exactly impartial today, but he is definitely coming across as a person who would have done what he is accused of doing.

He was coached. It was all over that he was going to come out angry. Trump actually gave him some pointers. It works for him.

There are a lot of Republicans who believe losing both the House and the Senate is a reasonable price to pay for what Kavanaugh on the SC gives them. What would be interesting is if he was confirmed and Dems took them both, would they try to impeach him? I do believe if the exact opposite happened and a liberal candidate had been accused and the GOP took over, impeachment would be on the table. Hopefully, it won't come to that, and Kavanaugh and his GOP buddies do what is right for the country, and have him withdraw.

The Republican strategy here was IMO stupid. Apparently they thought Dr. Ford would come in, and they would easily rip her story to shreds. That's the only thing that makes sense. Because right now, to vote to confirm is saying she is not credible. You can't say she is credible and vote to confirm, well, you can, but it makes no sense. They already said there was no need for an FBI investigation. If they called for one now, after denying earlier, they would be admitting their perfect candidate may not be believable. I think they either pull the nomination or promise Murkowski and Collins the world for their votes.

Reading Lindsay Graham's comments, it appears he is starting to think this nomination might not go through. Basically now threatening Dems. Gorsuch didn't have any sexual assault claims against him. Why can't this guy see Kavanaugh for what he is, and oh yeah, playing fair.....Merrick Garland. And speaking of Merrick Garland, Sarah Sanders had this to say on Fox and Friends the other day: The president wants this process to come to a vote because that’s what’s supposed to happen in every single one of these instances where someone is nominated, they go before, they have a hearing, and then the senators vote on it.”
