Nah...

I dont think the Renate Dolphin yearbook incident rendered the other sigs worthless.  I think the women in his daily life NOW carry more weight.

But honestly - if Kavanaigh is cooked for being a total privileged dick in high school - if that many senators feel this way - that's a small victory for anyone ever wronged by that sort in their life.

Your daughter is about 15, right, kid? Think about that fir a but. Then decide if it's a "small victory" if Brett the Creepy Preppy doesn't get a job he thinks he's entitled to enjoy for the rest of his life.

I'm not voting.


But I am in the camp that this entire mess is a GET TRUMP action.


So.......... a man comes forth today and says it was HE that attacked Ms Ford.

Interesting.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Central Park Five motherfucker!

But the real irony is that he has decided the accusers are guilty until proven innocent!

You don't even need to go back as far as his fatuous comments about the Central Park Five, Larry. This same speech will do it.

Just noting an instance where after the men were EXONERATED released and paid, Trump still says they’re guilty.

Action has more than a single purpose,  Kid.

Protect integrity of scotus through scrupulous vetting of nominees.

Keep Trump pardoner and apparatchik off the bench.

Give a possible crime victim(s) a fair hearing.

Give Kavanaugh chance to come clean about his past.

Cosby was correct about Eddie Murphy's language...made Black males seem crude, rude, and vulgar, when Murphy could've been setting a better example...   

Bambi,

Obvious question - when black comics get crude,  they represent all black people everywhere?  They become role models for all black people?

And white comedians like Louis CK?   Does Louis represent all white people everywhere?  Is he a bad role model for white people?   Or is he just an individual who happens to favor a vulgar style of stand-up comedy,  and we can take him or leave him?

Think about a possible double standard you're expressing here.

Grassley's makes his opening statement claiming it's a safe space fir the witnesses and the desire is only to have a fair hearing. He then crafts a political statement which politicizes the hearing immediately.

Feinstein now counters with her version of events.

Feel badly for Ford, who has to sit through this.

She seems credible, so far, and indeed terrified.  And definitely radiates a very credible wish not to be there or talking about this.  Agree with Durbin that Mark Judge should be subpoena'd from his beach hidey hole.  Guy's a profile in cowardice.
