    voted on my way home from work.  only had to wait about 20 minutes.  voted against every republican on the ballot and in races where they were unopposed, i left it blank.  

    fuck them for what they've done the past several years.  hope this is a bloodbath.

    Ditto. Could not bring myself to even vote for the unopposed Rs.

    I don’t think mental Illness is the reason why he says the stupid shit he says. 

    I don't either but it's probably why he delivers it the way he does.

    Which parts if you don't mind answering?

    Well, I think it's good that someone came in and was able to speak their mind, even if he is a little out of his mind. I am not holding his mental illness against him or how he chose to relay his message.  I think he is misguided especially about Trump the father figure (ha!) but I think he made good points about the failure of public education in this country to address these issues and meet the needs of students.

     I think the reason those four meet is to decide how they are going to  keep him from getting confirmed. I bet they all agree that he can’t be confirmed and want to have the right ones of them vote no that would be at least politically damaging to each of them. In other words they want to come to an agreement on which of them will have the least to lose by preventing his confirmation. 

    I agreed. I don’t trust Collins though. 

  5. Lindsey Graham was met with applause and cheers when he walked into the GOP meeting this evening.  His little speech to me sounded like the last gasps and screeches of the white male establishment clinging to a life raft after Durbin’s cornering of BK about the fbi investigation. 

    As a female I feel even more alienated than I did November 2016. 

    I will be more surprised if he’s not confirmed.

  6. There won't be time to put up a new nominee and do hearings and vote before November 6 unless they ram (no pun intended) it through.

    If Dems take the House and Senate they won't get their seat. That's all Mitch can think about which is why they are being so crazy. Power power power.

     

  7. And we wonder why women don't come forward more often. If they do in high profile cases like this, they may be subjected to an 'invitation' to be questioned by a bunch of men up on a platform looking down at them asking them intrusive questions about a painful and vulnerable time in their life with no interest in the search for truth.

    As for the "timing" issue - she went to visit her Rep (Eshoo) when BK was nominated to tell her what happened. They talked it over and Ford decided to write a letter but wanted anonymity. She doesn't want to fucking testify or fight to score political points. Naive, yes. But doesn't mean she has to testify for her account to be true.

    Also, the R's don't really give a shit about BK and his reputation or career. They want that majority ASAP. BK is expendable. Also he would just go back to his current judgeship and remain connected and affluent.

  8. A rapey President nominating a defiant probably rapey SCOTUS contender with the objective of overturning Roe is not a good look for R's who presumably don't want to drive out any more thinking females from the party (if there were any left.)

    Drunk driving by Beto is irrelevant.
