Definitely not to Cult45, or to the Stinker. His prospective colleagues on SCOTUS must be counting the days before he can grace them with his charm and calm demeanor. (They are no fools, they must know he is a serial list by now)

I don’t know that Kavanaugh’s tone is as destructive as it seems. This is the pretty standard tone across right-wing media now — aggrieved condescension, driven by rage, paranoia, and fear. This would not be out of place sandwiched between Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.

Hatch running down the ⏰

Bless, he can't wait another week for his new job. That's his latest excuse for not wanting an FBI allegation. 'It's already been 10 days' he whines.

'Brett Kavanaugh’s shrill, belligerent meltdown really doesn’t help him.
Kavanaugh didn't help himself by unleashing a rage-fueled rant in front of the entire country.'

actually cant believe what I'm watching.... so this petulant, childish, former 'jock' can be voted in despite the calm, adult, mature, believable testimony of Dr. Ford? OK dont answer, I know I'm being naive and stupd but OMFG.

"Belligerent" sums him up very well.

Renate Dolphin felt betrayed and humiliated to learn that Kavanaugh and his buds had an inside joke about her in their yearbook. She knew exactly what these boys were insinuating about her.

He pretends to be defending Renate Dolphin against Sen Blumenthal. Reminder, this is what Renate Dolphin actually believes about Brett Kavanaugh:

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.

Gumpendorf · 27/09/2018 23:22

Sr WH official tells me “President Trump is very pleased with Brett Kavanaugh’s righteous indignation regarding the personal destruction of his good name and his family. He’s confident in his choice.”

A source close to the White House tells @Acosta, "Only way to earn respect in Trumpworld is to brawl and he is brawling."

The future is grim!

ColdNeverBotheredMeAnyway · 27/09/2018 23:38

I'm late to the party, but marking my place...

I'm watching live on CNN at the moment. This man is appalling.

Sexual assault allegation aside, his demeanour - the whining, stammering under pressure, angry ranting.... are so far from befitting a Supreme Court Judge it's unreal.

I expected a calm, collected, straight faced 'judge' like man. This man most certainly is not any of those things.

ColdNeverBotheredMeAnyway · 27/09/2018 23:39

Sen. Harris is breaking his balls right now. She's awesome.

lettuceWrap · 27/09/2018 23:40

She is.

ColdNeverBotheredMeAnyway · 27/09/2018 23:42

"I'll ask you one last question - did you watch Dr Ford's testimony?"

"I did not.. I planned to,,, but I was preparing mine" followed by a scowl

What a fucking weak pathetic answer.

ColdNeverBotheredMeAnyway · 27/09/2018 23:45

God he's CRUMBLING under direct questioning from a Republican... this man is a bloody judge!

"Are Dr Ford's allegations true"

he bluffed the answer to that! Surely, SURELY if he was 100% innocent, he would just say

"No"

Can anyone suggest a link to watch it on outside us and Europe? Follow twitter feed and it is riveting and horrifying to read.

SingaSong12 · 27/09/2018 23:52

I've been listening to NPR and a commentator was saying that if Kavanaugh is appointed then surely he would have to recuse himself from cases involving the Democrats that he accused. (Not sure of US judicial system and how likely it would be to come up.)

ohmymimi · 27/09/2018 23:55

I totally agree with those saying it was an act for the usual audience of one. He wants Session's job so badly it might as well be tatooed on his forehead. And, maybe that ambition is for self protection, aswell; he is clearly running scared from the revelation of what kompromat is lurking at the back of that deep, dark closet.
