Nope didn’t say vote for the GOP candidate. 

Good point. Perhaps his punishment will have to wait.

If Manchin and Collins end up voting yes, we need to actively target those races and replace them. We have got to get better at making sure consequences stick in situations like these, where voting with your party (or against it you douchebag Manchin) is actively going against American values. If Murkowski sticks with

I think it is politically better for the democrats if he does get seated. If he doesn’t get seated it is better for riling republicans. For humanity though, and the legitimacy of the United States, I think I would rather take a political hit than confirm him. It’s such a slap in the face to every woman in this

This is interesting. It would explain why Bush is pushing so hard for him (and why Trump kind of isn’t) and why McConnell might have been afraid of when he was first floated. It also explains why he hasn’t been dropped. I think at this point prolonging this whole process only really benefits democrats, so I couldn’t

Guys, they are all really going hard right now at women as a whole. They do NOT like how much power we have gotten (or how intelligent we are) and are pushing back. Trump has been an ass to the female reporters today too. Kavanaugh is about a lot of things at this point, one of which is men being able to hold power

They have damaging information on him that they will use to get him to do what they want. I do also think now it is a bit more about owning the libs from a voter perspective, but Trump (and Russia) like him because he can be manipulated.

He reminds me of a cross between Hannibal Lector (minus the charm and intelligence), Frank Underwood and Regan from The Exorcist. Once again, I find myself hoping Jeff Sessions remains AG. Why must the universe continue to make me root for Jeff Sessions?

I hope she understands how much it has meant to all of us. As hard as this process has been on her and her family, what she’s done is incredible. A defining moment for so many of our lifetimes.

If I were innocent, I would try very hard to tell the truth, not obfuscate, or turn the question around on interviewers. I would also insist on an FBI investigation to clear my good name. If I did it, I would probably get pretty frustrated, have a hard time answering questions and I would get angry and try to blame

This is what I find myself screaming. Even if you are a racist, rapist, trump loving, environment hating person, can we PLEASE just acknowledge that he did poorly? I found it SHOCKING, how frustrated he got at the questions, he couldn’t answer. This man is a JUDGE! How is he so bad at questioning? How is he so bad at

I like it! I also want people to stand outside blasting music 100%—loud enough so we can’t hear him protest.

He is compromised. I don’t think every republican who does this type of shit is necessarily compromised (except for the fact the fact that they are beholden to donors), but Graham has become increasingly unhinged. To me, this feels more personal than simply fighting for his seat.

Graham reminded me exactly of Keanu Reeves in The Devil’s Advocate. Chewing on the walls of that hearing room. I hope McCain haunts the fuck out of him. 

I have been making this same point to my fiance over and over. How is this fair to the women on the court?  A potential coworker has been accused of sexual assault and there isn’t an investigation, they just have to shutup and sit next to him? 

Seriously. It is honestly frightening to watch.

He seems like he is having a mental breakdown. Like he is under enormous pressure to oppose this. Anyone seen the Black Mirror episode, “Shut up and Dance”?

This is a lot worse than I thought it would be. He cannot answer these questions without glitching the fuck out. “I like beer. I drink beer. Beer. Beer. Whatever.” It was physically uncomfortable to watch.

Oh when I say Trump, I mean the Russians. I am 100% with you on everything you said. The whole point of this nomination isn’t just because he plays fast and loose with executive power decisions, it’s because they/the Russians have something on him and can bend him to their will generally. It’s also the reason they

I think it was totally fine up to a point, but I now am pretty sure that was to lull us into this sense of security about it so she can turn it up later. It’s not going to work, though. Do we know if she is also going to do Kavanaugh? Or will Grassley and his band of assholes find their balls suddenly?
