He must have borrowed Mitt’s binders.

This is all giving me horrible anxiety and yet I can’t stop listening to/reading the livestreams.

“An FBI investigation?! How dare you Senator! I have yelled and whined and cried before you today! My daughter has prayed for the lying slut! Therefore, my innocence is proven beyond any question! Good day, sir!”

He just deflects every question about an FBI investigation. Feinstein asked about an FBI investigation and he’s all I wanted a hearing right away. It’s deflection.  He doesn’t want an investigation for one reason. 

Did anyone else notice that when Senator Feinstein asked him whether he would submit to an FBI investigation if he wanted to clear his name so badly, and his answer was ::turns up volume to 11:: “I WANTED TO TESTIFY THE NEXT DAY! THE NEXT DAY! AND YOU MADE ME WAIT! WHILE THIS CIRCUS DESTROYED MY FAMILY!”

What a disaster.

Christ, what a rapey, weepy asshole.

Compelling evidence that he’s definitely not a belligerent drunk amirite?

He keeps saying “you’ve destroyed my family.” Has Mrs. Kavenaugh filed yet? 

This day is making me want to curl into a ball and cry forever, but I have tiny precious Even Littler Time Bombs to raise, some I’m going to pull up my big girl pants and teach them how to smash the patriarchy one stupid fucking asshole at a time.

Look, if someone doesn’t like to fly when they don’t have to, but can overcome their fear of flying when necessary, then there’s no way they were sexually assaulted as a teenager. That’s just science.

I tried to look into who Rachel Mitchell is, but google just keeps showing my pictures of Kathy Geiss.

I think the strategy was “she’s a woman, so she can’t be seen as antagonistic, also it will earn us some Feminist Points (tm)” and “well she’s an expert on sex crimes, of course she’ll be seen as an authority on whether it happened or not.”

You had me at Maricopa.

While I think this is interesting, comparing anything that happens in a country that’s smaller than NYC (population) to a country of something like 350 million is kind of absurd. 

I relapsed after 10 years of sobriety the day the elections results came back.  I shit you not, I was recovering from a back surgery, realized Donald Fucking Trump was going to be the POTUS.  My mind began to fragment and the only thing I could think of was to take a few pain pills to blot out this new reality.  I was…
