Week Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 This would have been useful for a number of the posts attempting to malign the credibility of Dr. Ford and accusers in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It's really hard for me to listen to this so I can't even imagine what it is like for Dr. Blasey. That sexual assault R stooge from AZ -- Nina Totenberg says she revealed via the questioning that she wasn't just hired two days ago, but quite some ago. It happened because her line of questioning is all about leading people along the route that Dr. Blasey, naive summer child, is a pawn, used by a well-funded conspiracy to take out BK. As NT has spent much if not most of her life listening to such lengthy and often truly tedious questioning in these rooms, her ears are very well tuned. At least I have to head out to the university, so I can tear myself away from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unfortunately completely normal in the USA to be uninformed about these issues. Neither ignorance nor racism are mental illnesses. I guess I should have said normal and informed, because basically every person I’ve talked to who isn’t a bigot and understands the data and situation arrives at what I said. That said, this isn’t the first time SweetPea has tried to have this conversation….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Rick Santorum just said something WAAAAAY too smart for him. "Sometimes a pawn takes the king" It's all wrapped up in the nastiness of Santorum, but I was legitimately surprised to hear that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just watch the hearings? You think any of those guys don't want to show the world how much of a #metoo supporter they are? We got Leahy, Durbin, Whitehouse, Coons, Blumenthal, and Booker. Please tell me which of those guys is not gonna want national facetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnot OG Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Lindsey Graham is a disgusting human being. Just pure incel scum. He's pretty much what happens when an incel becomes a senator. A deeply misogynistic pile of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnot OG Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Graham doubled down on not believing Ford. Threaten to drum up false allegations against Dem nominees, and blew off a woman that said she was raped right to his face. He's an unempathetic scumbag.

Also, you guys realize terms limits were pushed by the GOP so they could oust entrenched Democratic incumbents, right? meh, that's just state stuff, of course it's not valid, that's why I proposed the ludicrously realistic constitutional amendment. :-p and why would I care about the party of the incumbent? I'm against incumbents in general on principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm against incumbents in general on principle. Admittedly, I care more about the empirical effect than the normative argument. Smarter and better informed people than me thought it would be good for the GOP and bad for Dems 25 years ago. Frankly, that could have changed, but I'm not aware of anyone that's looked into that.

I'm sorry, was just running down that list and am compelled to share my reasons for why none will yield any time: Leahy - Batman! Durbin - Minority Whip Whitehouse - His name is Whitehouse! Coons - Biden acolyte - youtube some of Biden's use of time during hearings Blumenthal - Dude lied about his Vietnam service Booker - Running for president Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnot OG Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 They're questioning Fords finances, yet never bothered to question Kavanaughs. I hope Mitchell gets hit by lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnot OG Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Rachel Mitchell should be put in a cell for this hack bullshit.

Mexal Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I thought Mitchell was fine. She was doing a sexual assault intake interview in 5 minute increments. I think what the Republicans wanted backfired big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalbear Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I thought Mitchell did an okay job. I think she was told how to proceed and what questioning they wanted to do, and she did what she could with it, but there's only so much she could do. I don't think it helped very much; Dr. Ford's testimony was very solid and reasonable, and I think people who listened to it will be hard-pressed to fault her particularly much. Now Republicans have to change tactics, and go after the overall process of a Deep Democratic Delay / massive plan to use her against Kavanaugh. That said, I would think it is FAR more risky to Republican control of SCOTUS if they push Kavanaugh in, dems get control and impeach his ass.
