(1,148 posts)I had the day off yesterday, so I stayed in bed and watched the hearings on my DVR. I haven't been motivated to do anything. I just watch MSNBC and CNN all day. What galls me is how these elite people vouch for his character and, with no credentials presented, expect us to take them at their word. The American people, if they have any sense or any ability at all to judge character, can see for themselves that he is hiding something. He lied repeatedly, dodged, and was unbelievably smug and disrespectful toward the Democrats. I can only hope that the majority of people see what I saw and it backfires terribly.
It's deeply disturbing that we might have a rapist on the Supreme Court. Those women who confronted Flake were right - it essentially means that women don't have the same rights as men.
The Republicans are utterly unable to sense the trauma they have unleashed. People are saying they can't sleep. They're calling the support hotlines. I doubled up on my anti-depressants.
If Brett Kavanaugh had any feelings for anyone but himself, he'd spare us this national trauma and withdraw. I'm a citizen as much as your prep school friends and when you speak on tv, you're addressing me as well. People are flooding hotlines and he goes on tv and cries for himself. Many, if not most of us have had bigger tragedies in their lives. If that doesn't make him guilty, I don't know what does.
