And Ford's questions did not even dive into her activities during high school.

At some points of the hearing Kavanaugh was pretty aggressive, despite crying at the hearing. Can see what he's like as a lawyer and judge.

This sentiment seems to be a recurring one for you. It's as though "guilty, lying" men are the only kind you know....or are you choosing to let the left populous do your thinking for you?

Fwiw, I am neither male nor Republican, and watching an entire demographic get continually maligned because of a few just reinforces the hypocrisy of the liberal agenda. What a sad commentary for all.

These liberals are too much today.
They aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. This may backfire on the Dems if the FBI finds that not only are the allegations bogus, but the allegations were scripted and managed by Dem operatives, polygraph and all.

Still waiting for an explanation of this contradiction... Ford made an interesting comment in her testimony on Thursday. She talked to "beach friends" ... "beach people" about what she should do about her supposed allegation. That, AFTER she claimed the only people she told about the incident were her husband and her therapist. Well... That's a BIG FAT LIE right there.
Quote:
Mitchell followed up by asking what motivated her to contact the Washington Post on July 6th, to which she replied that she was “panicking” and her beach friends urged her to call newspapers or her congresswoman.

There’s one major flaw in that argument – The Post itself reported that Ford had relayed those terrible memories “only in therapy and with her husband.”

I thought you meant this coming Monday but at any rate why is this such a rush, better to get it right than push it through. Evidently this is within the realm of the FBI.

For a total of $703,083.00, how much does security cost ?


Thanks for the rep: "$700K and counting. Seems excessive to me."


Excessive or not she is not forcing people to donate. Let's wait and see if she uses or keeps all of the money.

He kept answering with, I'll go with whatever the committee decides, because he already knew full well the committee wasn't going to go that route. He was asked point blank many times, never mind about the committee, would YOU support an FBI investigation, and he continued to just parrot that same line about the committee. Until finally, when pressed, he sat there like an errant five year old and refused to answer at all.

Would you call that a forthright answer to the question that he was asked?

Maybe answering questions doesn't necessarily indicate truthfulness, but NOT answering sure does indicate a lack of it.

How can I include something that didn't happen? It wasn't Kavanaugh who the GOP brought in a prosecutor to cross examine - in fact, they ended up stopping Mitchell from being the one to ask him questions. Or are you trying to suggest that all the GOP senators were completely without any political bias in their questions to him? Which is of course total nonsense.

I think it was a savvy move by Flake. It gives the Dems and liberals what they have all publicly asked for (FBI investigation) but denies them what they really want (delay past elections).


And what if Ford refuses to cooperate or retake an FBI polygraph? Or major holes are found in her story?
