It was a he said, she said from the beginning. Doomed for failure.

But, these days I give no credence to any video.

What the speaker is saying can be taken out of context. Videos can be altered in all sorts of ways.

Not saying this is true of this particular video. But?? I need clarification for all videos.

it's pretty simple. she waited 35+ years because only then did a potential opportunity to derail a supreme court nominee - who could theoretically have a hand in overturning roe v. wade - present itself.

If I was a democrat I would be embarrassed. It makes sense why more and more who are are turning away from them because their crazy is showing.

Listening to her testify, I did not feel she was a credible witness. For a person who was supposedly so traumatized and intelligent, her entire testimony was IMO questionable.

Oh, yeah, as if the GOP is such a well oiled machine ! No administration, or party, has been so dysfunctional and corrupt in our long history. Trump's Presidency makes Nixon look like a piker.

Funny how you only see how the left has issues, and overlook what is happening on your side of the ledger.

Well of course politics played a role. Her assault accusation was outed because of politics. How is this news?

bottom line, there was never any evidence against Kavanaugh, and the circus should never have been set rolling by Sen. Feinstein and the judiciary committee. A lot of Dem senators have a lot to answer for, including Booker, Harris, and my own Sen. Patty Murray.

Remember also those who were cheering on Michael Avenatti, who is now probably headed for a jail cell. I'm proud to say I was not in the crowd of those cheering, even though I still considered myself a Dem at the time.
