Why Won't They Believe Women?
As most of you who are able to, we'll be watching the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford this morning beginning at 10 a.m. EST. Then this afternoon, accused party boy assaulter Brett "KavaNope" Kavanaugh will be testifying as to his choir boy character, and that all of the women accusers and individuals corroborating their accounts are liars. We sincerely hope the Dems come coordinated and prepared for that with guns blazing, given the fact that the Rethugs have limited their time to 5 minutes each. One question that should be asked of the Rethuglican Senators is "why won't you believe women?"
The shameful behavior of the Judiciary Committee's Rethuglican majority -- 11 middle aged to elderly white men hiding behind a female prosecutor asking their questions for them -- is exceeded in shamefulness by their plan to ignore Dr. Ford's testimony and ram through a Committee vote tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. No FBI investigation of Ford's claims or those of the other two named accusers who have stepped forward.
Yesterday, week-kneed Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) got up on the Senate floor for what many thought would be a call to slow the process down to allow an investigation of the charges. True to form, he delivered a "can't we all just get along" spiel where he talked about both Ford and Kavanaugh as "human beings." Profile in vacuity. That's the measure of the "concerned" Rethugs who will whine about what a tough spot they're in, then vote to confirm KavaNope.
Here's CBS's live feed of the hearings:

I listened to the Iran-Contra hearings and Anita Hill debacle as well. Listen to this I don't think so. You can't write something as bad as this. Republicans are evil it's just as simple as that. It will take a long time to crawl out of this Republican shitter if ever.
I'm with One Fly on today's hearings. I'm so goddamn freaked out over Kavanaugh and the scummy rethugs on the Judicial Committee that my head would explode if I had to watch as their "assistant" grills Dr. Ford. The whole thing is a setup.
Big time setup Diva. We have absolutely no power in this matter or many others as well.
the aged white millionaire men in the senate do not care about women, womens rights, truth or fairness. they do not care about rape or sexual abuse. it is perfectly clear they only care about one thing. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ they need him on the court for 2 reasons. 1. repeal roe. 2. protect the orange ferret wearing treason weasel from mueller.
they don't care about men either, but since men are in power and the idiots voting for the aged white millionaires over and over and over are idiots, they do not matter either, maybe if the idiots had money, but they do not.
