So a very old friend -- a woman -- is furious and posting on FB about how much of a witch hunt this is and how any woman who had been raped would have total recall, etc.

Sometimes I wish she weren't my friend.  I had to walk away.

I watched for a bit on the local live news feed on FB.....KXAN in Austin for god's sake .... and the comments are disgusting and infuriating in attacking her. Even -- or mostly -- from women. It's shocking and sick.

This cancerous contingent of about 40% of the population is why these old fossils feel completely entitled to do the worst to everyone. The base is going to go apeshit if the nom is pulled. 

I hopefully believe this group of people are mostly 50+ and will die off.

We need to rename the Republican Party to the Bumblefuck Party. Truth in advertising, and all that.

This type of pompous conservative media dipshit is so much more annoying than your average Trump voter.

They'll be replaced by the over 50 crowd of tomorrow.

Direct her to read up on how a notable lack of recall of some significant details surrounding a traumatic event is a common characteristic of PTSD.  Your friend just doesn't know.

Nah. Stupid, exploitable people that are pissed off that life didnt go their way are rolling off the assembly line every day. Hell the factory in college station is ramping up production.

Fox News is not sending the BK is cooked message.  No, their talking point is "we believe BK, but we also believe Ford believes that someone did this to her."

Which I kind of feel sorry for this woman. Not a lot of time to prep, no deposition, nothing but a statement, an article, and some hearsay. 

What did the Republicans expect? I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the conference room where they are having lunch, harrumphing and mumbling together about how in their day it was no big deal to get shitfaced and handsy

I know this will be an unpopular take, but I am not sure they brought in Mitchell to get a gotcha out of Ford. I think there is a non negligible chance McConnell did this specifically to give him an out on Kavanaugh, who he never wanted anyway.

It's amazing how rage-filled people get who feel entitled to everything. Completely irrational. They wouldn't be able to articulate what motive Ford has to be slinging bullshit but goddamnit she's obviously a lying sack of shit.

I hate people.

Right now, I especially hate women who attack other women for claiming they were sexual assaulted. Those people need to be called out on it, every time. Don't walk away, tell them they're full of shit. 

Hatch's takeaway is that Dr. Ford is "attractive" and "pleasing."

Unfortunately, this has been the notion for 2 decades...... They've raised another generation of intolerant and ignorant imbeciles.  There is a large percentage of the population who are too ignorant to thrive in the modern world so they'd like to stop progress and control it.

Damn it, auto correct!

This is also a sad lesson in general power dynamics in the country.  You assault a poor person?  Meh.  You assault a coastal PhD?  She can get people to listen.

Of course Fox News is attacking the victim and her credibility. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Yeah,  some fuck on their panel just rationalized a vote for BK to the senators struggling with the decision in light of her obvious credibility.  "I believe she believes that is what happened,  but I think she's mistaken."

I'm hopeful that these people are uniquely terrible.  They were raised in the civil rights era, fought it tooth and nail, and carry that bitterness to the end.  The next generations won't be like this.

Holy shit Santorum: "I'm not saying she was a pawn, but sometimes pawns take kings"

Brit Hume said it.

So it sounds like they stick with the prosecutor when Kavanaugh testifies.

They brought her in so there wouldn't be sound bites of senators attacking a victim of sexual assault.

I think this has the potential to be a monumental fuck up. If the "prosecutor" is defending Kavanaugh the jig is up in the court of public opinion.

This is correct..... they were too cowardly to ask their own questions or act skeptical in case she was credible.....

Counterpoint: "100%."

And, clearly, incapable of talking respectfully to a female victim of sexual assault.    It shouldn't be hard to ask her questions without embarrassing yourself.

I originally thought that, but now listening to how unprepared she was, I'm not so sure.

agree. if she soft plays shit with him, it will no play well. but who the fuck knows. the handling of the entire matter most closely approximates a face scrub with fecal matter. so wont be surprised if decide to add some corn their diet.

Yeah, the image of a sex crimes prosecutor going after the alleged victim and not the alleged perpetrator is, uh, not a good one.

Romney can’t get here soon enough.

Ford is extremely credible.

How will Kavanaugh answer, "Why do you NOT want the FBI to confirm that Dr. Ford is mistaken?"  "Why do you not want Mark Judge to testify or be interviewed by the FBI?" These questions will be asked by each Democratic Senator, and Grassley's only defense will be to interject and try to save the Judge

My only oddball observation is that I would not be surprised to find out that Mark judge committed suicide.  Right now the merciful thing for the GOP and Kavenaugh would be fore the President to call and withdraw his nomination.  Otherwise what is going to happen this afternoon is going to make it impossible for a couple Senators to not give the thumbs down in a vote on the Senate floor.   

Look for a bloodbath in the midterms if the GOP pushes the vote through for Kavanaugh as is the current plan.

You mean Mark Judge, right? 

BK needs a Hail Mary.  He needs to go out there With OJ’s glove and show us that it just don’ fit.

Theory: Trump has been encouraging Kavanaugh to forcefully fight back. Kavanaugh will try to do so, and because he's a milquetoast pissant, will show his ass in the process. I think there's more shit to hit this particular fan, wouldn't be surprised if a formal investigation into perjury comes from this.

there should have been a separate game day thread for the testimony today.  Then we could keep this thread for overall comments.

I originally thought that, but now listening to how unprepared she was, I'm not so sure.

They brought her in because they’re so dense they though a female would lighten the blow back.
