10. I watched every minute of the hearing. At first I thought that Cohen's closing statement....

....was the highlight of the 6 hours or so (he hammered trump HARD about every disgusting thing he is and has done), and then Cummings spoke.

I was in awe, he was unbelievably emotional and to the point, showing his love for the country and it's institutions. He hit Cohen hard but did it with an open heart. My eyes were damp when he finished.

On another note, the biggest idiot of the day was, of course, Jordan, closely followed by Meadows. A daily double of partisan hacks.

13. What surprised me was all the Repug pearl clutching. Apparently the Kavanaugh performance

has won over the hearts and minds of Repugs.

I am glad I got to hear it and watch it live.

14. That was a truly great speech.

We're lucky we have this man.

[Hekate]

15. My gods, Cummings had Cohen in tears and wept himself. What a moment. What a moment.

[Wounded Bear]

16. And that whooshing sound you hear...

is that going right over the Repubs heads.

for Chairman Cummings

for the Repubs.

17. And a Better Donald Trump? Dream On!

Trump can fake it if he needs to - he's been doing that his whole life, he could be the world's best faker by now - but he will never change. There will only be a better America and a better democracy with Trump out of office, and on a one way trip to Moscow, where he belongs.

Excellent closing remarks, brother Cummings!
