    I fully expect that from you.

    The situation played out exactly like I said it did, and is dishonest for exactly the reason I suggested it was dishonest. Thanks for posting the link to prove that.

    This guy is PHONY. Just because you hire a bunch of women and coach girl's basketball doesn't mean you can't be a MEAN drunk and assault women.

    I'm asking this because I genuinely don't know, but are you saying that the FBI cannot investigate an allegation made against a SC nominee?

    As for the Feinstein holding on to the letter for months, that was news to me today. Shame. From Ford's testimony it sounded like a lot of people that she reached out to handled this poorly.

    The whole thing is disgraceful. And sorry, I can't watch any of it but have heard bits via radio when I can.

    I have seen a lot of intense questioning at this level and not that many tears, but this is intense subject matter.

    On RADIO, what really struck me is how much he feels he deserves a seat on the SCOTUS. Or like it is owed.

    But yes, it would be incredibly challenging whether you were completely innocent or not.

    This is basically how they've handled this process

    Okay, Noah Pollak? I disagree.
    Seeming like an angry partisan is a BAD look for a lifetime judicial appt. that's my opinion and I don't think Noah knows what gaslighting is. It is not observational commentary and opinion.

    I don't know if only 5 people were there, but I've definitely been to parties with fewer than 10 that I know there were more people in there then I knew personally, but would have zero clue who they were if I ever saw them again and I've had less than half the time to forget meaningless nobodies.

    Just want to repeat, I find this guy repugnant, but the whole confrontational Realitity TV angle to this disgusts me. You can be one of the Nazi judges tried at Nuremburg sending handicaped children to Zyklon B showers and the public wouldn't bat an eye without a tearful personal accuser and a tearful character defense to add some TV drama. I seriously can't listen to weapy Brett Kavanaugh without wondering whether it was genuine. If I were coaching him, I'd ABSOLUTELY tell him to sob a little bit if he could, because people trust emotions and that would sway opinion.

    Everybody watching and talking about credibility - if the exact same thing did or didn't happen but she was a poor public speaker does that mean her claim was less valid? Speaking in public is a learnable skill, unrelated to truthfulness.

    If it were up to me, TV and audio would be banned from congress.

    Well that's Ford's version of the story that literally everyone disagrees with so it's hard to know if there even was a party. I've been to a lot of parties with 10 or fewer people, and I don't think I've ever been to one where I didn't eventually meet everyone there and would likely at least remember that I had met them.

    Correct. the FBI's position is they can't investigate this because its just two private citizens on private property. People bring up Anita Hill, but she was a federal employee accusing her federal employee boss of harassment on federal property. that's federal jurisdiction. federal crime. we have federalism in this country.

    Kavanaugh yelling at the old Lady is a good look.

    That's the problem. This whole thing has been turned into a credibility, TV presence, he said she said farce. That is because there is no evidence, which should have been the purpose of the hearing.

    "Ms. Ford, please provide the date, time, and location of the incident. This is required so the accused can formulate a defense or not. It also allows us to check witnesses and alibis"

    "I forgot, LOL" "I don't even know what year, LOL"

    "I do know it was ~35 years ago, and I also know by my own education and training that you can't trust memories of events that far back in time"
