Deny everything, get angry, play the victim....

It works for Donald Trump. Why can't it work for Brett Kavanaugh?

As if loud and belligerent attacks on your opponents is proof that one is telling the truth?

But, that was the tactic chosen by Kavanaugh and the Republicans yesterday in their hearing.

In a couple of hours, we will see how many Senators were persuaded by it?

I'm boycotting them in every way I can... won't buy from them, won't hire them, won't promote them, won't invest in them, won't socialize with them. If they want to keep promoting these awful policies and blatant corruption... fuck them. Seriously.

The pressure must be on any women senators (I've given up completely on the men in the republican party) for the full Senate vote.

When the law is against you, pound the facts.

When the law and the facts are against you, pound the table.

Any Senator (looking at you, Corker) who observed that spectacle and now claims that they're in favor of Judge Kreepazoid's appointment to the Supreme Court was never wavering in the first place.

A Republican on Facebook defended Trump for such a display, sarcastically rebuking someone for criticizing it: "Because that's what innocent people do. They don't defend themselves."
