Thursday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Christine Blasey Ford's sexual assault accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh lasted about nine hours (including breaks), but it could have accomplished as much (or as little) in half that time. Grandstanding, bloviating senators on both sides of the aisle were not content to make a point once when three, 13, or 20 times would do. Kavanaugh also was prone to repetition, which was only partly his fault, since the senators kept asking the same questions over and over again. This index gives you a sense of the hearing's priorities: Number of times Kavanaugh confessed to liking beer (in so many words): 7 Number of times Kavanaugh confessed to sometimes drinking too much beer: 3 Number of times Kavanaugh denied having alcohol-induced memory lapses: 10 Number of time Kavanaugh alluded to conflicts with the freshman college roommate who said he was a mean drunk: 4 Number of times Kavanaugh noted that the three people Ford has said were at the gathering where he allegedly attacked her do not recall the event: 15 Number of times that Kavanaugh or a Republican senator noted that lying to Congress is a felony: 16 Number of times Democrats called for an FBI investigation: 20 Number of time Kavanaugh dodged the question of whether he would support an FBI investigation: 12 Number of times Republicans quoted Joe Biden on the inconclusiveness of FBI investigations: 3 Number of time Democrats praised Ford's courage: 13 Number of times Kavanaugh or a Republican senator complained that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) sat on Ford's allegations for a month and a half: 12 Number of times Feinstein said she was respecting Ford's wish for confidentiality: 3 Number of times Kavanaugh or a Republican senator argued that the allegations could have been investigated by the committee while maintaining Ford's confidentiality: 5 Number of times Feinstein denied leaking the allegations to the press: 4 Number of times Kavanaugh's high school yearbook came up: 5 Mentions of vomit: 8 Mentions of flatulence: 4

The number of times the non-snowflakes present for the hearing, thought to themselves... “what a fucking liar that cunt Ford is”... without having the balls to shout out the obvious. Also, the twat that trapped that pussy, Flake, in the elevator... and then ordered pussy Flake to look at the bitch when she talked... would have gotten her fucking forehead caved in by me... had I been in that elevator.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Congratulations. By posting such trash and contributing to the trashing of a good and innocent man, you have earned my contempt, disdain, and disrespect for you personally from this moment onward.
And...she would have deserved it.
That’s Trumps rock and a hard place, brought about by scumbags like you. If he doesn’t say stupid shit like “she seemed credible”, than assholes like you accuse him of being a rapist lover... and the millions of millennial pussified SHEEP, actually believe that shit. She’s a lying cunt... and you’re a stupid asshole for believing her. It’s convenient that the only parts of her allegation that could have led to an investigative conclusion... like WHERE, WHEN AND WHO... she can’t remember. She can’t remember because it didn’t happen and she doesn’t want to provide LEADS to be questioned. Go fuck yourself.

Dicktard is, and always has been an asshole. I knew that from his very first post from his many asshole ID’s.

EXACTLY. But then Deckard either KNOWS that...OR is just a POS enabler of Lies and Slander for advancing his own political gain (aka a Democrat hiding behind his Anarchist-Libertarian mask.) Either way, Deckard has trashed his cred, his honor, his rep. She’s a lying cunt... and you’re a stupid asshole for believing her. It’s convenient that the only parts of her allegation that could have led to an investigative conclusion... like WHERE, WHEN AND WHO... she can’t remember. She can’t remember because it didn’t happen and she doesn’t want to provide LEADS to be questioned. Go fuck yourself. +1000
I know you guys didn't exactly see eye to eye, but he seemed to have a sincere desire to ferret out The Truth. My bad I guess. He winds up...a traitor. A supporter of Smearing-the Innocent, The Resistance and Democrats.
I can only hope that after Kavanaugh is confirmed, this SMEAR stays in his memory... and causes him to legally decide cases THAT MAKE EVERY SNOWFLAKE, FAGGOT, RACIST AND FEMINIST CRY.

Nobody is trashing the poor bastard. Merely pointing out some interesting facts. Ford is a liar - I've never denied that or have I ever said Kavanaugh is/was guilty. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Really fucktard? Then why did I post this? Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Get a frigging grip! Geesh, WTF is wrong with you? Please post a link to anywhere I have even implied Ford is not lying. Oh, you can't? Then you owe me an apology you loud-mouthed, strident drama queen. In fact I'd wager there's only two posters at this site that believe Ford - Boxcar Willie and Jameson.

Bwaahaahaa!! CAN'T.... STOP...LAUGHING.
Which make YOUR anti-Trump, anti-Kavanaugh trolling even worst. Those two as most of us know are...insane Leftists. What's your excuse?
Oh, you can't? Bwaahaahaa!! CAN'T.... STOP...LAUGHING. Figures you wouln't even bother to check my posts on the topic. I posted this today ass-clown Trump groupie: "I Don't Know What He Did" - Kavanaugh Accuser Backtracks On Key Assault Claims In NBC Interview Guess you missed this one as well: Christine Blasey Ford and her Family’s Long and Deep Relationship with the C.I.A. You ignored this one too. Safeway Only Had 1 Door! Christine Ford Busted In Lie! How about this link I posted? Miss that one too? Ford is lying - I have never denied that.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. I am not a fan of Trump, but he's done some good things and he is better than Hillary As far as you mis-caracterizing my position on Kavanaugh - I expected better from you.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. "Fair and Balanced"? NO SALE
Come on; You regard Trump with utter contempt. Same of his "cultists".
Backatcha. Only one of us is right.
Not a fan, but as I said, he's done some good things and he's better than Hillary. I don't have a Trump shrine in my man-cave like you and the other cultists here do.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Sorry bro.... For whatever reason you've been brushing up hard against the dark side. NO ONE HERE has ever claimed Trump was perfect. Everyone has quibbles about Trump. BUT...no one has EVER fought as hard for America and the USCON in our lifetime. NO ONE. That said, I know this; If we ALL don't circle the wagons here and now and hold the line, everything we've ever loved about the country will be destroyed. And that is why I will NOT criticize Trump ONE IOTA. Unless HE backs down.
Your entire lens is clouded by the *small* picture. We're frickin' Davy Crockett trying to hold the fort. The Left is busting their big moves NOW. How do you not see this?? MY CASE: Donald Trump AND his family have been targeted for a soft coup AND propaganda and lies 24/7 SINCE 2016 by elements of the upper echelon of the FBI, CIA, and even GOPe. The MSM has been openly colluding with the DNC-run Media (CNN/NYT/WaPo/NBC/etal) DO YOU DISAGREE? * Their Social Media captains are censoring and shutting-down ALL high-profile influential conservatives; DO YOU DISAGREE? The entire Dem Party have advocated and practiced Sedition -- if not outright Treason... I can go on and on. So while you obsess on "Trump-shrines" and "Trump-cultists" -- petty bullsh*t -- most of us realize we are in a no-holds-barred brawl, a war in which there IS NO MIDDLE GROUND. All those shot-dogs, un-justified traffic stops, over-officious LE -- none of that stuff is gonna matter if Leftists/Democrats have their way and control and regulate LE, the Judicial System, AND Communications, and "big mouths" are in FEMA Camps. The Clintonistas started this and the 0bama Cartel came within a whisker of having Commie-Fascists hijack the American government. The brawl is still waging. Every inch of this hill matters. PICK A SIDE.

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

Trump said he found Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford's testimony 'compelling' and called her 'a very credible witness'

* In Academia and on Twitter the Left and Hollywood are openly calling for assassinations of conservatives and Republican law makers. WITH IMPUNITY; DO YOU DENY THIS?
* The Left is stalking, harassing AND threatening the families and children of conservatives and Republicans; TRUE or UN-TRUE?
* The entire MSM (except for FNC) has been lying, slandering, defaming and creating a Leftist pandemic/"revolution"; Hell -- Hitlery pronounced and proclaimed an official "RESISTANCE" since Day One. TRUE or FALSE?
* The entire Democrat Party, certain Republicans, and MSM have been undermining the MAGA agenda. TRUE or FALSE?
The Democrats, 0bama and MSM have been trying to "criminalize" Americans based purely on race (white), creed (Christians), gender (Male), and Sexual Orientation (Heterosexual). IS THIS NOT TRUE?
