Is he doing himself any favours bellowing like this??

Interested in his wife's inscrutable expression

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 20:17

I'm not sure Kavanaugh's anger and partisanship is quite the look for a Supreme Court Judge.

ohmymimi · 27/09/2018 20:17

Mr Angry has arrived. Not a good look. And he has lied already, he has never overtly said he wanted the FBI to i investigate.
He is doing Mr Shouty, an even worse look. His timbre of voice does not suit angry shouty, just sounds shrill.

ohmymimi · 27/09/2018 20:19

Yes, he seems the perfect model for a balanced, temperate Justice.
It sounds like the Stinker wrote this twaddle.

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 20:19

Within minutes of Kavanaugh taking the stand, the idea of him being an aggressive drunk just became a whole lot more real.

The choir boy has gone.

CaveMum · 27/09/2018 20:21

Oh god he actually just said “one of my closest friends is a survivor of sexual abuse” 😱

That’s right up there with “lots of my friends are black”

Fiderer · 27/09/2018 20:22

Crikey.

No bellowing from Dr Blasey Ford about death threats to her family.

Or The Evil.

Fiderer · 27/09/2018 20:25

And no mentioning her children praying. And tearing up about it. "Pray for the woman."

Wtf?

Roussette · 27/09/2018 20:25

Exactly what I thought CaveMum.

He just looks and acts like a nasty piece of work. And now he is pulling the young daughter card and breaking down with "Daddy we must pray for the woman". Yuk yuk. I can't wait for Sen. Harris to question him

He does sound like an angry drunk.

This is embarrassing. Tears again.

ohmymimi · 27/09/2018 20:35

He's going to cry about daddy now. Oh, the calendars, just like daddy, but not as good. He must have a huge loft space for all those calendars.

ginandtonicformeplease · 27/09/2018 20:35

I can't watch any more - bring out the violins for the poor, misunderstood man. He'll be confirmed and one step closer to Gilead.

What I will never get my head around is all these supposed Christians still supporting him: did I miss the bit in the bible where being a sexual predator is absolutely fine?

ohmymimi · 27/09/2018 20:36

He seems somewhat 'unbalanced '. Not really SCOTUS material.

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 20:36

He's not convincing at all. He's just totally embarrassing. The raised voice is for the audience of one and it doesn't fit his narrative at all. He's an entitled privileged man who has finally been called out.

If this is a job interview, I'd definitely give it to Christine Ford.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 27/09/2018 20:38

He's fighting for his life so it'll be dirty. (And he's definitely practised this in front of interested GOP 'persons')

Fiderer · 27/09/2018 20:38

Demeanour most becoming for a Supreme Court judge.

"Brushing my teeth" ? "Like going to church." "Cutting lawns" ? "Football training" ?

Voice breaking. Again. "My dad..."

Roussette · 27/09/2018 20:41

Oh FFS. Tears again. Rambling. Shouting. Sniffing. Gurning.

He is a most dislikeable man.

AcrossthePond55 · 27/09/2018 20:42

Oh for Heaven's sake, Whiney-boy, buck yourself up.

Who on earth coached him into believing that tearful, whiney outrage would negate Dr Blasey Ford's composure and poise? You could tell she was upset yet she still spoke with dignity and grace.

"I never sexually assaulted anyone"......begs the question "What do you actually consider to be sexual assault?".

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 20:43

Word I hear from friends on Hill is that @SenMajLdr and WH plan to forge ahead with a committee vote on Kavanaugh tomorrow and floor vote at noon on Saturday.

OkMaybeNot · 27/09/2018 20:44

His handlers need to give him a quick memo to only tear up at the sad bits. He's doing it wrong.

I didn't realise that is Alyssa Milano sitting just behind his left shoulder.

This is the most embarrassing spectacle imaginable. Tears ten times.

Now he's on to sex.

Has he learnt the sniffing from tRumpy?

ohmymimi · 27/09/2018 20:45

God, this is embarrassing. Now the lies about the yearbook. It was just showing offHmm
That lie about Renata is astounding!
