BaeArthur to Orin Hatch: Fuck you.

Recent polls also suggest that Kavanaugh is causing an uptick of voting enthusiasm from Republicans, so if the inevitable happens sooner than later maybe that will die back down, at least.

MSNBC was looking at the poll numbers this morning and this entire thing is anxiety producing.

Dingdingding. If they really DID do multiple background checks and really WERE familiar with his record, and all the possible enemies that he might have available to come out of the woodwork— then that means that they buried the information. Sat on it. Just hoped for the best, instead of preparing. Because, if it came…

I’m not even American and that’s how I feel. It’s happening all over, racists and religious nuts have been emboldened by Trump and they’re winning everywhere in the world. So many Canadians provinces have voted in racist conservatives. You see millions protest, trying to stop this kind of stuff, but it never works.

Agreed. I think the problem is that the Senate doesn’t have any expertise in investigating crimes or even performing background checks. The FBI does, but they were in a straitjacket. In theory, they should have taken all the time they needed for a thorough examination. But they didn’t, so the Senate couldn’t. It’s a…

Every once in a while, the news gets me so down I need a break from the internet just for some self care. It happened with the Muslim ban and the “skinny” repeal. I just can’t bear to watch Kavanaugh get confirmed. Listening to everyone’s stories about their sexual assault has me in tears. I don’t understand how it…

I think it’s time to move on from Kavanaugh and start putting extra attention on the midterms starting next week.

It’s not that these guys are absolutely shameless, it’s that their shameless AND lazy. They couldn’t even to be bothered to come up with optics that made it look like they were taking this seriously. They’re openly contemptuous of us and they don’t give a shit that we know they are  

I think he’s saying, rather, that men of a certain age and status are likely to have a past history of sexual assault. Given what we’ve learned about society, it’s not exactly an unreasonable assumption. Amy Barrett might be even more conservative than Brett Kavanaugh, but she is probably less likely to have ever…

Of course it was a sham. We knew that as soon as they declined to interview Ford or Kavanaugh themselves. 

PUT UP OR SHUT UP, BITCH

I mean, he can keep it...

Tobin and Squee don’t wanna lift weights with him anymore!

Relax, we have been warned about this for weeks that FEMA was testing the Wireless Emergency Alert system. They tested it under Obama they can test it under trump. Breath

Oh my god.

This is so fucking hard.  I have family members who not only still approve of Kavanaugh getting the SC seat, but think that Ford is a paid actor.  The willful ignorance runs deep when you’re in a deeply red state.  It’s exhausting.  I cannot even begin to fathom how Ford feels.

Truth. I and the women in my life routinely use “it’s fine” as a phrase that means “it’s absolutely not fine, but it’s not worth the drama that the truth will bring up.”

Admittedly, I did not listen to Dr Ford’s part of the hearing, I was at work and I knew it would just upset me. I did listen to part of Kavanaugh’s because I was curious about how he would defend himself against her detailed (and entirely believable) accusations. I expected a professional to come out and sit down and…

I think at least 4 senators posed that question to him about the FBI and Kavanaugh choose to not answer any of them .
