The republicans on The Judiciary Committee are going to look like fools.

They are going to be sitting there with the cameras on them looking like little boys who need "mommy" to speak for them. They can't see that they are making the "optics" even worse. This much is clear, they are aware of their own misogyny and contempt for women and they want to hide behind a woman lawyer in the hopes that no one notices. It is pathetic.

The democrats are going to ask their own questions and make no mistake, they will go after Kavanaugh hard. And if the republicans or their proxy attack Dr. Ford and re-victimize her, it will be all out war.

The republicans are going to find out too late that the "woman lawyer" approach was a stupid idea.

Lindsey Graham, who has turned out to be the biggest tool in Washington, said this morning that outside counsel was needed because they had to get someone "Who knew what the hell they were doing." Thank you Sen. Graham for confirming that the republicans on The Judiciary Committee are a group of old out of touch clueless men who are incompetent and undeserving of the positions to which they were elected.

... like a guilty teenage kid who was stammering and trying to lie to his mom... I'm thinking there's a good chance this goes quite badly for him.

Lindsey Graham is telling his fellows stay with Grassley or our ass
is grass. Graham is giving an order. They know Kavanaugh assaulted
her and the intent was rape. They know that so they are playing
stupid. The G.O.P. can lose their ass and this will stick for
a long time.

Unbelievable system we have.

The old goats will be in public and their feeble minds will be exposed to the public. I wonder about people who elect fools to be their representatives? There is an age limit when we can vote. There should be an age limit of when people CAN"T serve as an elected person. This will prevent the HERD from electing FOOLS and that elect more people who are COGNIZANT to SERVE the public........

Be careful about this idea because there are plenty of folks on our side that are just as old.

Unless you want to get rid of them, too.

Not to say there aren't some remnants of decent representatives that care for the country.

How much money and blackmail has been spent buying the US?

The woman lawyer allowing herself to be so shamefully used. Is this the kind of exposure that will help her career outside of GOP circles.
