This whole "My friend Mark's book was fictional, it's because he's an addict" is really making Brett look like a shitty person and an even worse friend to Mark.

"Do you want Judge to be here testifying ?"
"blablablabla"
"Are you Bart O'Kavanaugh in his book ?"
"blablabla"
"ARE YOU ?"
"You'd have to ask him !"
.......................... This is awful.

Brett Kavanaugh: "I was number one in high school... I was captain of the basketball team"... holy crap he's going full-on Trump. Because successful high school students can't be sexual abusers?
|
he's really combative with leahy.

He's too drunk to remember any movie from the 80s.

And then Leahy hits with the yearbook at the best timing :-D
And he did not answer the questions...
|
This is a train wreck. He is losing it. This has got to be the most by the book example of "I WAS AWESOME, I SHOULD BE JUDGED FOR ONLY THE GOOD I DID" nonsense.
|
Brett Kavanaugh just strawmanned a triple sexual assault allegation as "Should a Supreme Court nomination really just be based off an old yearbook page?" Bury this mother fucker.
|
Maybe the reason they limited it to 5min/person is because they knew Kav was going to be a trainwreck if he couldn't filibuster to avoid everything.

Wait until Harris and Co. start asking questions. It's going to get wild.
Also, his yearbook defense doesn't pass the sniff test imo. Would be nice to talk to the people who actually made the yearbook, no?

"Do you really want to demean this hearing by forcing me to make fun of that disgusting addict and friend I outed?"

Fact is there is no proof and the story has appeared out of the blue before Kavanaugh could get an important position. Frightening for your democracy, really. Have you been sexually assaulted? Because as a person who has, it's not very easy to provide proof you were assaulted in a bathroom, 22 years ago. Wth is this question? You just can't provide proof and it's terribly unfair but it mostly means you can't prosecute someone like that. If you just need the lack of proof in either way to accuse someone, it can go terribly wrong. are you under the impression this is a criminal investigation? It's almost like a trial without investigation which is what I find very disturbing. The republican and Kavanaugh side is the one that doesn't want an investigation because it would delay the nomination after the midterms. Thus, you get that result.

You are correct, I listened very carefully to that part :-) There it is again. He refuses to say they should look into this further by questioning Judge. This is clearly his strategy to not ask for more investigation of this.
Has anyone asked him directly if he wants the accusations to be investigated yet?

Multiple times. Every time he has dodged or strawmanned.
Edit: apparently he said it in his opening, but he has dodged it when asked by the Dems. Lets see how he answers Durbin.

Here it is, a direct question on it (Edit: well, it's dragging on now and providing dodging space)

Well he won't, since Grassley is not happy :-)

For fucks sake he WILL NOT SAY IT.
|
Dick Durbin tells Brett Kavanaugh to put his money where his mouth is, and challenges BK to promote a proper FBI investigation to clear his name. Chairman Grassley interferes hardcore, yelling at the suggestion, insisting that BK is going to be voted on as a nominee no matter what. Then DD and BK have a back-and-forth "You can't handle the truth!" - level scene. This is so fucked up by Grassley and BK.

Looks like this is a red line for him (and republicans), democrats are hitting where it hurts...
"I would welcome anything" but definitely not say the words " 'I' would like an investigation"
