His behavior appeared to me to be rather bizarre at best. I expected to see a mature man with a high degree of composure to calmly address the charges be totally open to investigation. Not some sniveling wreck whose defense was that he is being the poor unfortunate victim of a grand political conspiracy. Not much of a grand conspiracy. But one defenseless woman who was a mere child when she was viciously attack by two drunken privileged brats. She appeared to be as threating as a tame church mouse, but exhibited more strength and character than the spineless weeping wimp pleading his innocence. If this doesn't compel people to flock to the polls and vote these usurpers if truth and justice to the garbage heap of history, I don't see much future for the nation within my life time.

Gives me the shivers just looking at the pure hatred and contempt in that face. This is the face of the Republican party. Angry white men who think they are entitled to rule as dictators because they think the color of their skin is superior. Fucking disgusting.

22. And total cowards
Thu Sep 27, 2018, 09:13 PM
Sep 2018

Total cowards, almost to a man (or woman). Bully-cowards, but sniveling, self-pitying cowards at their core. NOT the person you want fighting beside you when you are in a foxhole at war with a real enemy, or when you have real work to be done that requires any joint effort. 'Me' is all they understand; 'we' or 'us' is a foreign, loaded, and threatening word to them.

37. They'll just say they're using the German meaning
Fri Sep 28, 2018, 02:54 PM
Sep 2018

Schmuck means “jewel” or “jewelry” (in German, one word can have many meanings; witness “Sind” which is all seven forms of “to be” or “nachrichten” which means news, information, communications, data and the kind of intelligence the CIA or NSA make) in German, so if you call someone like Kavanaugh a schmuck they’ll think you’re calling him a real jewel.

In this case it would be best to use English words and call him Dangerous.

13. a threat to women

Krying Kavy's performance does not lessen his threat to women.
That threat becomes immense if he gets confirmed.

If he had looked coldly mechanical in his testimony, he would have come across as somewhat more heartless.

Choking up while relating his daughter's bedtime prayers earned that a spot on the nightly news that ran after the hearings. It will have an effect on some people.

Remember Boehner and his weepiness? If you watch him, his emotions are just as unstable. He has both the weepy drunk and the angry drunk in him. That is the way to look at his wild emotional swings. He could hardly stop snivelling and then he'd go into a rage. Alcohol damage.
