I noticed Alyssa! She doesn't look impressed.

This is all rather... tongue-in-cheek. Literally.

I've had to put in my earbuds. DH just said "I can NOT listen to any more of this. He's an embarrassment. Let me know when the questioning begins".

Oh HELL! Now he's pulling the virginity card! What the fuck does that have to do with it? I'd say it'd be more likely for a certain type (i.e. a jock) who was a virgin to commit an egregious act to prove he was 'part of the In Crowd', especially whilst being egged on by someone (that Judge fellow).

just got in and he's on.... how can anyone be so cringy, so weak, so horrible and yet so scary at the same time? He's calling out all the bingo cards he can find isnt he?

The Renata lie:
Daniel Dale
@ddale8
Corrected quote: Kavanaugh says that the boys' repeated yearbook jokes about a girl named Renate was "intended to show affection, and that she was one of us," but "the media" has taken it to refer to sex. (The woman in question was herself offended by all the references to her.)

It's going to be played as a Good Man assaulted (sic) by Evil Doers and so traumatised he was understandably upset.

What a spectacle.

He doesn't wear a wedding ring, just like StinkyShock

Hmm I hired women! Women! That's the sort of nice guy I am!

Least erudite most sniffy gulpy teary bizarre SC hearing imaginable.

Kavanaugh to Democratic senators on his love for teaching law and coaching basketball: "thanks to what some of you on this side of the committee have unleashed, i may never be able to teach again. I may never be able to coach again"

Then agree to an investigation and clear his name.

AcrossthePond55 · 27/09/2018 21:06

For those who aren't up on USA 'good man Jack criteria', being a jock (athlete) in school basically means you are an A-OK dude and are usually given a free pass on bad behaviour. That's why he keeps stressing his athletics in school.

Not sure if it's the same in the UK (and any other countries on this thread). But the 'jock culture' is pretty much still endemic here. He's a prime example of the entitled jock.

Roussette · 27/09/2018 21:07

I've heard of 'jocks' Across and imagined that to be the case... interesting

Mitchell will get him, won't she? He's lost it. He can't focus and he's flip.

Oh dear, that Feinstein exchange was not a good look, belligerence as self pity.
However, she should have pressed him more on the FBI, re establishing witness testimony.

ohmymimi · 27/09/2018 21:11

as and

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 21:16

Twitter is acknowledging his belligerent attitude is going down well with the Trump base and the WH. It fits with the Trump narrative of liking men to fight back. Sad

Yes, I thought his loss of control stemmed from the frustration of thwarted sense of entitlement. He thought he was a shoo in, and then hit the buffers of his past.
And he should be screaming for the FBI to clear his name.
