Not an AIBU, but I thought people might be interested to watch. Dr Ford's composure is impressive.

Thanks for the link. Interesting viewing. They seem to be quite gentle with her which I’m glad for. She must be terrified.

NicoAndTheNiners · 27/09/2018 17:27

I wonder how much money this is costing her in lawyer fees?

TigerDrankAllTheWaterInTheTap · 27/09/2018 17:27

Poor woman.

araiwa · 27/09/2018 17:29

is it really a surprise that a self confessed sexual assaulter of women supports such a scumbag

such brazen shithousery

BitOfFun · 27/09/2018 17:30

She is entirely credible, and very brave to be pursuing her civic duty in this way.

NicoAndTheNiners · 27/09/2018 17:33

It’s making me tearful listening to Mr Blumenthal saying how she has taught America a lesson and inspired people.

NicoAndTheNiners · 27/09/2018 17:34

And Trump was such a sneery shitbag about her.

Surely Kavanaugh can’t get the position now?

burninglikefire · 27/09/2018 17:37

I agree - she is so plausible - really don't think Kavanaugh can be appointed

Thousands of people apparently staging a protest in her support outside the senate.

Jeanclaudejackety · 27/09/2018 17:50

When will we know the outcome? She was admirable, such poise, a great thing to do

winterisstillcoming · 27/09/2018 17:51

She rocks. Especially when she made herself a coffee live on air. She seems very genuine.

NicoAndTheNiners · 27/09/2018 17:53

Not sure how long it will take for any outcome.

What are they actually doing? Obviously hearing her testimony and then his later. Is this to help them decide whether or not to appoint? Or to help them decide something else? Is it the senate who decide whether to appoint or not? Or a more select, smaller group?

Love the fact some senator (?) said he things that trumps failure to order an fbi investigation is a cover up.

NicoAndTheNiners · 27/09/2018 17:54

And does anyone know how long they will quiz her for? Is there an eta for his testimony? I have to go to the gym!

tinytemper66 · 27/09/2018 18:09

I believe they will ignore the testimony and appoint him anyway. White men sticking together 😞

Comeymemo · 27/09/2018 18:11

Nico - Very strong chances she will have been indemnified by the Democrats for her legal fees.

PepeLePew · 27/09/2018 18:17

I have a horrible feeling they all know she isn't lying (because really who would make this up knowing what lay ahead) and will confirm him anyway. Because they don't care, and powerful men look after themselves. I am so angry on behalf of women everywhere right now.

burninglikefire · 27/09/2018 18:19

So, I am being optimistic and thinking that they won't appoint him - really hope I don't get proved wrong

OP posts:
winterisstillcoming · 27/09/2018 18:34

I think they will balance appointing him against the political backlash. I fear it won't be about what's right and wrong. Are they bringing criminal charges against him?

Defrack · 27/09/2018 18:40

The think is there's only 10 democrats and 11 republicans, so even if all democrats say they won't appoint, unless a republican also doesn't a point him then surely he gets in?

So lets see if the republicans have any morals.

burninglikefire · 27/09/2018 21:09

Is anyone watching Kavanaugh?

OP posts:
ssd · 27/09/2018 21:10

I am...bloody hell Angry

burninglikefire · 27/09/2018 21:18

Compelling viewing! I feel sorry for his wife - wonder what she is thinking.

OP posts:
ssd · 27/09/2018 21:19

she must know exactly what he's like

OddBoots · 27/09/2018 21:19

What a shrill and hysterical contrast to the testimony of Dr. Ford.

ssd · 27/09/2018 21:21

totally agree oddboots
