The old Dems are the party. That’s your party. The progressives and Democratic Socialists popping up like weeds in a handful of places? They’re not the party. What you’re really saying is you want a different party from the Democratic party, because this is who they’ve always been.

Honestly, Jack, the Senate Judiciary Committee doesn’t give a fuck about this, because we, the people, did not give a fuck about this. The citizens of the United States had a chance to stop this in 2016. Instead, through laziness, fraud or idiocy, we handed the keys of the kingdom to the Republican Party. We, in…

If the other background checks didn’t cover these specific things then they provide us with no facts about these things.

I wish Democrats would fight for their constituency like old white male Republicans fight for old white male Republicans...

I’ve posted this before but for every person who blathers on about “innocent until proven guilty”...this is not a criminal trial. This is an job interview for the highest court in the land.

Of course they’re going ahead with the vote, when have the Republicans ever asked for consent?

The jury in the Walter Scott shooting where a policeman gunned down a fleeing man in the back had one person refusing to convict the officer even when seeing the video from someone unknown to the police officer who recorded the whole thing.

Like a true tough guy, Kavanaugh mentioned his mom, his wife and his daughter (who happened to say Dr. Ford’s name during her bedtime prayers last night!) in the first part of his opening statement. I’m not sure if that was before or after he blamed Democrats for all of his problems because it made me so angry, I drove…

Weird. Because I have a very difficult time believing that a bunch of wrestlers would accuse the Republican Speaker of the House of molesting them as children either. 

If Republicans truly feel that such testimony from a lone witness—which is, by definition, uncorroborated—is never sufficient to pass judgment on someone

In my limited job interview experience, a direct, emotional plea from an alleged survivor of sexual assault against the interviewee is gonna be enough to disqualify. You can always hire somebody different.

Fair point, but also worth pointing out the reason there is only one witness is because Republicans structured the hearing that way. 

Obstruction: Fun and fair when they do it, but unfair and petty and mean when it’s done to them.

Conversely, police officers are acquitted of murder all the time, despite there being multiple witnesses.

As a South Carolinian - that’s dead on. Everyone knows, but they’re fine with it as long as he keeps voting against the interests of other gays. It’s a bit of nuance in the stupid hateful thinking of conservative voters. He frequents the Capital Club - a conservative gay bar (we got those)- in Columbia and no one…

I didn’t wanna leap right there, but if you’re leaping, I’m right next to you. Why is he so fucking savage about all this, if it’s not a guilty conscience?

Graham then issued a bizarre threat, saying, “Let me tell you my Democratic friends—if this is the new norm, you’d better watch out for your nominees.”

“Just talked to my son, Don Junior, a big game hunter. Any hunter knows that hippocampuses are in fact edible.”

Her PhD was on children coping with PTSD. She wrote papers on how to detect PTSD in 9/11 survivors, and the psychological damage that staying in the closet can cause.

Yeah, weird that people would interpret an accumulation of accusations as additional evidence of misconduct rather than remain in some imaginary state of reserved judgment.
