That Brett Kavanaugh is such a (drama) queen.

The Politics Thread
LOL!! I keep coming back to the phrase "the lady doth protest too much, methinks." Of course, "the lady," in this case, is a man, and his name is Brett Michael Kavanaugh. He is so enraged at what he sees as a smear campaign that it isn't occurring to him (or maybe it is, as Carl suggests) that he's coming off as a raving lunatic, and someone absolutely capable of rape or attempted rape. Maybe he is playing to Trump and his base. I wouldn't be surprised if he were. And maybe that's just enough to get him confirmed, although I don't think that has ever been in doubt. But, somehow, someway, his "performance" will backfire on him, on the committee, on the GOP as a whole. And I still believe Brett is hiding something. Well, maybe not revenge, per se, but definitely karma. When they came hard and fast for Bill during "Monicagate," it was clear it had everything to do with taking down a couple whom they'd hated from day one, and nothing to do with seeking justice for his alleged victims. You can't be that vindictive without it coming back to bite you. So, what goes around DOES come around, Brett. (Which is actually what I said on this board not TOO long ago, so if it turns out he, too, visits SON, I will never stop laughing, lol.)

Actually, I was hoping it'd be more like when Viki AND Niki testified at Harry O'Neill's murder trial.

If only Trump had been that way. You know, Judge Kav, now would be a great time to 'fess up. Or flee the country. Whichever works best for you.

Good. He SHOULD feel ambushed. He told America that electing Trump president would be disastrous, then turned around and practically gave the man a b.j. Whatever hell he's got coming to him, he deserves.

I'll bet twenty bucks Brett was drunk and groping all the bridesmaids at the wedding.

It's inside Shyne Coldtrain Jr.'s tweet, which Vee posted upthread. He quoted Jawny Mathis, who referred to the CNN pundit that said Ford was more credible than Hill, because she projected vulnerability where Hill projected strength and poise. It's been my experience that the LAST thing a Black woman will ever do is appear vulnerable before white people. Not when we are no longer chained and bound to the plantations, begging massa not to beat or rape us. Huh-uh, not gonna do it.

"She’s an attractive person." Pardon me, Sen. Hatch, but what the [!@#$%^&*] does that have to do with anything? Are you saying she would have been less credible if she'd been as ugly as homemade sin? Somebody vote this s.o.b. out of office, PLEASE. Amy Siskind's right: the GOP is failing at this, because they give zero [!@#$%^&*] what goes on in the rest of the world that isn't white, straight or male.

Oh, so that was Anita's "problem," eh? She didn't appear "vulnerable" enough.

Lindsey Graham just falsely told a bunch of reporters that Democrats are never subjected to accusations of sexual misconduct Bill Clinton and Al Franken: "SAY WHAT?"

Me: "Stay strong, Ms. Ford! You got this!" No matter what else happens today, I am so proud to be on the same planet as women like Christine Blasey Ford.

I don't believe what's going on here. Now we've got men coming forward and saying they, and not Kavanaugh, attacked Ford all those years ago. Men actually copping to attempted rape to clear another man's name? Am I [!@#$%^&*] dreaming? Because, this [!@#$%^&*] can't be real! It galls me, too, how many are letting it slide that Kavanaugh says he never became so intoxicated that he blacked out and couldn't remember what happened the next morning, yet questioning whether Ford, Swetnick and especially Ramirez are remembering correctly "because, after all, they had been drinking." Does it occur to any of these people that maybe they, too, never got so drunk that they couldn't remember what happened later? Like, am I supposed to believe that everyone involved is or was a blackout drunk EXCEPT Brett? COME ON. Wordy McWord. Today promises to be more nail-biting than any soap has been in quite the while. "What will SHE say? What will HE say? What will the Committee say? And, as always, what about Naomi?"

That's some strong, revisionist b.s. About the only group I remember supporting Anita Hill WAS women, and WOC in particular. For the most part, men were just cracking jokes about "Long Dong Silver" and pubic hairs on Cokes.

IKR? He really thinks saying he was a virgin back then and that he was never involved in any sexual activity "with more than one woman present" clears him of any wrongdoing in our eyes. Like, it doesn't even register in his allegedly brilliant legal mind that all he's doing is digging a deeper hole for himself. I've said it before and I'm saying it now (and to hell with how it sounds): he was better off saying he was gay.
