Good grief, Chuck can't even read properly, surely these rich old white men should be retired off. He's 85.

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 15:22

Dianne Feinstein is the same age, I think, but the difference is immense.

cozietoesie · 27/09/2018 15:28

We'll see. A Beast piece.

Trumpworld starting to sweat?

Roussette · 27/09/2018 15:28

Yes. Chuck just stutters and reads it all wrong. Not lucid and easy to follow.

cozietoesie · 27/09/2018 15:32

'Life tenure' couldn't have meant the same thing to the Founding Fathers.

Roussette · 27/09/2018 15:38

This is painful.

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 16:00

This is horrible. Christine Ford is so genuinely trying to help. It's horrible that she has to go through this.

Meanwhile, Grassley is so fucking focused on process that he's inhibiting the truth.

Sen. Dick Durbin says to her 'you have absolutely nothing to gain by bringing this to the Hearing' (this is in the context of the death threats she's received and having to move from safe house to safe house).

Sexual Misconduct Allegation #6 for good ol' boy BK:

anonymous complaint that was sent to Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, claimed that Kavanaugh physically assaulted a woman he socialized with in the Washington, D.C., area in 1998 while he was inebriated.

YeOldeTrout · 27/09/2018 16:27

ps: personally I'm waiting for the not-love child to emerge, with DNA testing to confirm.

Fox's Chris Wallace: "This is a disaster for the Republicans."

Admittedly Chris Wallace is one of the normal Fox commentators but I hope the Republicans are ashamed at this spectacle.

cozietoesie · 27/09/2018 16:36

They believe her.

lettuceWrap · 27/09/2018 16:39

Dr Ford’s testimony is harrowing to listen to. She is so incredibly, incredibly brave. I 100% believe her.

Roussette · 27/09/2018 17:02

What is so appalling is the Rachel woman digging and digging and doing her damndest to catch out Dr. Ford.

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 17:37

I’m no psychology professor but it does seem weird to me that someone could have a selective fear of flying.

Can’t do it to testify but for vacation, well it’s not a problem at all.

Appalling that this is, it shows how thin their defence is.

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 17:47

I think the female assistant is just asking questions to her brief and has nothing to offer the Repugs apart from avoiding the embarrassment of the old men asking stupid questions. Very stupid if Grassley is anything to go by.

The female assistant reminds me of a former colleague. It's disconcerting Hmm

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 17:47

I'm using 'female assistant' ironically btw. Smile

AcrossthePond55 · 27/09/2018 17:50

By God, I'm so proud of her!!! It's harrowing and infuriating to watch but also so empowering. I truly believe that her actions today will give other victims courage for years to come.

They're taking 30 min lunch now. Fucking Graham is spewing venom and shit in the hallway. Arsehole!

Trump telling people he’s furious that WH aides didn’t have advance knowledge of how credible Ford would seem, per 2nd source

This is Trump’s worst nightmare: a TV moment going badly for him that’s completely out of his control

Trump also furious with Don McGahn for putting him in this situation, source said.

@POTUS puts complete focus on hearing today. Per @PressSec, “The President spoke with Rod Rosenstein a few minutes ago and they plan to meet next week. They do not want to do anything to interfere with the hearing.”

On Fox News, John Roberts says a White House official told him Blasey Ford is a "very credible witness."

cozietoesie · 27/09/2018 18:10

He's going to put the nomination on 'hold' and ask for an FBI investigation. Wink
