Agreed.

Been watching some of these hearings. Good for her for showing up. I really didn't think she would. I feel bad for her because she is obviously scared to death. She seems to not remember a lot. Not even just about the incident 36 years ago, but about things that happened a month ago. And it's not that I don't believe that she doesn't remember the things being asked about the last couple of months, it's just becoming clear that she's a passenger in this clown car rather than the driver.

Speaking of clown cars, two men say that they may have been the person Ford is referring to, not Kavanaugh.

Senator Graham's comments.
In a television interview Thursday morning, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), a committee member, said he didn’t believe them.

“One’s crazy as a loon, I don’t believe the other one,” Graham said during an appearance on “CBS This Morning." "I'm not going to play this game."

They're probably as credible as anyone else in this Kavanaugh circus.

Kavanaugh's tears are the last straw for me. He's probably going to the court, but he can go fuck himself. All I've seen is a man who admitted he got way too drunk to be a credible reference for himself, used religion as a crutch, and then pretended to have emotions.

He may as well be Falwell or Jim Bakker.

I'm sorry,Lindsey, but there's no way this statement is true.
The South Carolina Republican senator came into Thursday's hearing mad as hell -- and he stayed that way. Unlike the more senior Republicans on the committee, Graham didn't cede his time to Mitchell. Instead, he used it to excoriate his Democratic colleagues for what he called "the most unethical sham since I've been in politics." (He physically pointed at Democrats during this line.) He added, in a message to his Republican colleagues: "If you vote 'no' you are legitimizing the most despicable thing I have seen in my time in politics."
Did he get elected this week?

Lindsey has a powerfully short memory. Only three years ago he was calling Trump a racist bigot. Now he’s towing the administrations line, hard.

All politicians have short memories. They only remember details that serve their immediate interests.

He's not wrong about the sham that went on today, but he's been part of plenty of shams, including our last presidential election between the turd sandwich and the douchebag.

Just saw the Graham speech. That was pure emotion and 100% legit.

I see people on the left saying he should win an Oscar. They ignore all the facts he stated about Feinstein and her "concern" for Ford, correctly called out exactly what the strategy is behind these accusations and their timing, and they still condemn Kavanaugh as a rapist without any evidence, witnesses, or a fair trial.

Agree. This is simply a stall tactic on the part of the Democrats. That's why Fienstein leaked Ford's letter when she did. There seriously needs to be an ethics investigation into the leaking of this letter.

And I really don't understand all these idiots up there asking why he doesn't ask for an FBI investigation. Would the Democrats saying he should do that promise to proclaim him innocent of charges and vote for him if there's an FBI investigation? Many of them were on record as a "no" vote before these charges were even known.

This is a circus where scumbags in DC don't care who they hurt. Graham was a hero today. Generally he's a turd.

The Dems are going to be PISSED, and have very short memories, when this New Normal is applied to the next Dem president's nominations.

I think you already forgot about Garland.

I didn't want Garland or Kav on the bench, but what the Republicans did to Garland was immoral.

When politics get so.stupid that a situation manages to invade my deliberate bubble of ignorance, then it's at a whole new level of stupid.

I forget nothing. I don't even know who you're talking about. :-D

They'll still have short memories.

Rs and Ds are both fucking disgusting, and their loyal followers are only feeding the insanity.

They only care about getting elected and maintaining power, not running the government or helping the people.

Fuck 'em all.

In college, I went skinny dipping with a coed group of friends. We were drinking. It was dark (cuz it was nighttime).

One of my female friends reached out (under the water), grabbed my penis, and started stroking it. It took me several seconds to understand what was going on (I was buzzed). I said no, and moved away a few feet. She came closer, and started doing it again. I was more forceful about my denial, and moved away again. She came back and started doing it again.

I was louder, saying something to the effect of "STOP TOUCHING MY PENIS" louder enough so everyone could hear. They laughed (Hey, I'm Leisher). I dove away to the other side of the group. I think she stopped at that point.

It was awkward. But she and I continued to be friends for a few years, then drifted away after college. It was never awkward after that night. Nothing sexual ever happened again. I never felt threatened or ashamed. Maybe it's because I knew I could get away. Maybe since I'm a man and bigger + stronger than she was. Maybe it's because my genitals are external, and so no one forced themselves "inside" me. Maybe it's because I don't really care that much if people touch my junk. Fuck if I know. #metoo ?

At the very least, you are supposed to be trying to ruin her life/career.

This is like a no-brainer.
