Uhmm, have you missed the last two years? Trump associates are getting locked up left and right and all Republicans can do is scream about how the investigating should stop.

They are fine with investigations, just not investigations of republicans.

What did your roll model say? "show me the man and i'll show you the crime"

I don't see it that way.

What other way can you see it? Kavanaugh is a judge and would never accept what his friend gave this comitteee as a statement. He is a judge and he is waffling on whether there should be an investigation. That should be troublesome to anyone who actually wants judges to be fair.

And he is a terrible liar.

However, had the Left really wanted an FBI investigation, they would have requested one a couple months ago when they first got Ford's allegation. Instead they used Ford as an unwitting pawn, publicly releasing her allegation against her expressed desire for anonymity, intentionally doing so as a deliberate and contrived delay tactic if all else fails at the 11th hour. Weasels have more integrity than these slimy bastards.

Ford's letter to Feinstein specified that she wanted the matter to be kept confidential. Should Feinstein have ignored that and taken it to the FBI instead?

So I have not been listening to the hearing but judging from this thread this pic is accurate to how it’s been going?

I watched Ford's on and off and watched the last 20min of Kavanaugh's, Ford answer Yes I … or No, Kavanaugh answer were all whine and dances.

Did anyone actually ask Kav if that actually happened? What was his answer?

Handled it in a closed and confidential session? Or better yet just let a Democratic aide leak it at a later date

The lawyer asked him direct questions and he said no, plainly. The rest was bloviating.

Finally able to catch-up after getting out of all-day meetings. Yeah, I agree Kav is acting a bit childish - Looks like his hormones aren't in balance heh.

Personally my conclusion is - I still continue to think the FBI investigation is an incredibly stupid and pointless idea - the entire concept is just to further delay things. As pointed out in the hearings - there is nothing the FBI can conclude. They cannot make an assertion. They cannot make a recommendation. It would be the equivalent of a parent in the middle with a he-said she-said argument. It's pointless and downright childish to demand such an investigation.

Democrats are childish too - She said she was 100% certain! That's all the proof you need! Is the equivalent of their statements. Likewise, Republicans might as well be giving a hand-y under the table to Kav with how blow-hard they are being as they just continue to blow wind up his skirt.

At this point with this piss poor performance just toss him out already and put up someone way better.

Democrats...damned if they do...damned if they don't.

We've had people literally argue that well of course Republicans are pieces of shit, but we don't know about Democrats, so they can't support Democrats. And they think that is a compelling argument. When called on it they just escalated it to "well the Democrats didn't do enough to stop the Republicans being pieces of shit, so they're worse!"
