I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

The Republican party behaves as if it wants power and cares to advance their constituent interests, so they're willing to lose an election here or there is they get what they want. That attitude makes them completely incomprehensible to elected dems.

Their current line of attack seems to be to say that its impossible to walk 6.2 miles?

Maybe they should tell that to the military?

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
I can't watch this hearing anymore, I just can't.

To even have a "necessity" to have Ford there testifying on a national stage is already unsettling enough, but I can't handle the way this is treated like an average proceeding where you have one side thanking her for appearing and then awkwardly asking her to recount her experience while the other side actually tries to loving shoot holes in her story like we're on some loving cliché JAG episode.

I can't listen to Grassley one more second.

I can't listen to Graham one more second.

Any reason why? I imagine that a prosecutor would be inclined to structure things to verify the potential victim’s statement and could actually set up her questioning to provide a coherent narrative, in contrast to the barrel of poo poo the committee would spill over everything.

Heard Grassley’s intro on the way into the office, and it was terrible.

It's difficult to establish a narrative when you only have five minutes and are constantly being interrupted by dudes. Also hard to do when your whole job is to poke holes in a story and not specifically build a counter argument.

I would guess people are telling Maggie that because Ford is coming across as an extremely intelligent but more importantly sympathetic and vulnerable witness.

I also can imagine that in a court of law, a prosecutor works by establishing some sort of legalese and making sure the jury understands that, even on technicalities, someone is guilty while if you do it in congress, you are just trying to sway public opinion while disregarding legalese.

It would probably be better to have a carny do it than a prosecutor.

I hope he isn't confirmed, but it's 2018.

i mean, sure, that's possible i guess.

but I'm going to trust what people say they're going to do over what you say they're going to do. It's a quarter of those surveyed ffs.

That might say lovely things about West Virginians, but the fact of the matter is that, sometimes, key votes like this really do sway people from one side to another. That might make them bad people, but it doesn't change the electoral math.

For those following along: Manchin has a 29 point lead if he votes for Kavanaugh. He has a 2 point lead if he votes against.
