WTF are you watching?? Is his voice a little too loud for your liking?

I don't know if somebody was accusing me of sexual assault and lots of people have been out ruinng the lives of my children my wife my family I may be a little angry.

There are legit reasons to doubt Kavanaugh and question some things but at least maybe have some compassion on a guy who's life has been destroyed.
that's completely fair, but he's coming off as unhinged.

Her emotions make her believable. His makes him unhinged. Just perfect.

She wasn't sitting in the chair screaming at everyone and throwing a fit.

I do wish this would have stayed the course with Roe Vs. Wade, the pardon, and bringing a case against the president. That stuff feels like a lifetime ago.

Slam the media - Check
Bring up the Clintons - Check
D's dividing America for generations - Check

If he is wrongly accused, I feel for him, but this guy definitely knows which side butters his bread.

Has credibility.
I don't agree, then. Credibility is established by evidence and proof, such as corroboration. It is not inherent.

I've covered the DC Circuit for years, and been at numerous hearings where Kavanaugh was on the panel. His demeanor at this hearing so far is very, very different from his demeanor in court. Some judges get fiery/wound up on the bench, I've never seen that with Kavanaugh.

How dare someone stand up for themselves against these scumbags. Defending his entire lifes work and reputation - throwing a fit.

A Kavanaugh Mask would be a fabulous Halloween costume this year.

I don't blame him at all, a strong denial is his only defense since there was no tangible evidence presented.

Kavanaugh is doing a great job shifting the narrative away from Ford's credible accusation.

HIs life has been destroyed? Seriously? This is not a trial, and he’s not going to jail. This is just a job interview. Maybe he’ll get the job, maybe he won’t. But this by no means will destroy his life.

This nomination is toast.

This is now shifted solely to demonizing the Dems and giving the GOP a victim complex for the mid-terms.

Yeah, he can go back to the DC circuit court and dismantle regulatory agencies with a renewed vigor.

Source of the post This is just a job interview
remember the completely normal job interview you had when you yelled and broke down crying and accused people of crazy theories. Regardless of accusations, I'm not so sure this is the guy for the job

Are you joking? This man has been accused of being a rapist. How do you think that would affect your life? Your job? Your family?
