Kavanaugh Confirmation

I wade into a group of unhappy women daily, it's a guessing game who's gonna explode first and what's gonna be the trigger. I preferred working with men. If there was a problem they were straight up if they have a problem, they say it. Much easier than guessing.
Agreed. I’m fairly lucky being an engineer we’re fairly all decent critical thinkers even the women. And fairly blunt also. Everybody’s too busy for games.

But I can get pissed at a guy or somebody can get pissed at me, we yell at each for a few minutes, and can still go get a beer together after work.
 
Gotta say I never heard of Sheldon Whitehouse before all this but he may be the most sanctimonious putz I've seen (in the Senate).

On the R side, that Kennedy is like someone they'd cast to be the sheriff in a Smokey and the Bandit remake. Is he for real?
 
Mark my words, the Democrats are going to plant a corroborating witness for the FBI to find.

How? They're pinned in by Ford's testimony, so I just don't see that happening. If anything, yet another accuser will come forward.

There you go. The good ol' "she was looking to be raped" argument. I think the 1950s called and wanted you to return their misogyny.
We as logical adults know there are certain situations you avoid as a woman that are dangerous. 15 year olds don't have that body of life knowledge. It's not the "looking to be raped" arguments it's more like "the stupidity of youth"
 
Problem is Ford named all the party participants (unless she "suddenly" remembers one) and they've all said they weren't at the party she described.
Didn't she also mention one other boy whose name she couldn't remember?

He may be the insurance policy in case they could get an FBI investigation.

If I was Grassley, I would have asked each dem senator on the committee and asked them: "If we do this additional FBI background check you are requesting, I can assume if it comes back to the same place we are today, where there is no corroborating evidence if Dr. Ford's allegations, that I will be able to count on your vote to confirm Judge K to the supreme Court?"

If they said "No", I would have said then there is no reason to have an additional background check if you're going to vote "No" anyway.

Except he's not tasked with convincing the Democrats. He's tasked with convincing 3 Republicans.

She didn't name all of them. There was another unnamed boy at the party that **could** corroborate.

Yeah, he's a maroon.
 
To be fair, we've had Rs in this thread say they can't wait for the Rs to get the opportunity to do it right back. It's not just about the side one is on. It's how susceptible one is to the "us against them" rhetoric.
My fear is the Rs will do a tit for tat but of course just like having both houses and the WH they’ll **** it up.
 
This is a good example of why Republicans should not vote for Bredesen. The Democrats are united. There was never a question on Kavanaugh. He will do what Schumer says. The Republicans need to do the same, otherwise they've just wasted their turn. Bunch of tools.

Again, there was an unnamed boy at the party based on Ford's testimony.

However, I think the situation you've described is more likely.
