    It turns on turnout, which is usually the case.

    but the dems are tuned in. If this tunes in the gop, the gop may avoid losing even the House.

    Good for those GOP members. The President should not have made those callow remarks.

    Is it falling apart? I keep seeing people post that, yet amazingly it seems the FBI investigation is ongoing. Are you sure that is not just wishful thinking?

    Fords credability is eroding

    The questions around her lie detector test is really hurting her

    Is it hurting her with anyone outside of people who were already convinced that she was lying?

    she may not be able to provide evidence of her claim, but that doesnt auto equate to being a liar.

    It does when her "witnesses" have to change their story, and her boyfriend refutes her "claims"

    Not to mention, she's been caught giving advice to a "witness" on how to pass a polygraph...

    Flat earthers look smarter than this idiot, Ford.

    She lied about fear of flying

    No one she named as being present at the party backed her up

    And she may have lied about the lie detecter test

    Facts? Ms. Ford provided something we can corroborate? She provided something we can definitively prove? Link and news at 11 please.

    Why is SNL allowed to mock a person who might be innocent? Is it just because he's a man that they get away with it? Granted it was funny but insensitive message that shouldnt be allowed a national spotlight

    She lied about the Safeway encounter with Kavanaugh's friend as there was not a Safeway in that town for 4 years after the "encounter".

    Summing up testimony isn't mockery. He basically said what Ford said in response to questions.

    The other thing about this case is also proving sexism against men is far more rampant than against women, but that's a whole separate issue.

    You're fighting a lost and irrelevant battle. The issue is Kavenaugh lied about his youth to avoid the Ford allegation. And the gop will confirm him anyway.

    So what?

    A Senate Confirmation isn't a criminal trial and requires no evidence.

    In any event, it all comes down to what 3 GOP Senators think.

    Glad to clear that up for you.

    You're welcome.:salute:

    I tend to think before we assassinate people's characters, we need proof corroborating allegations, so we don't look like a Donald Trump ourselves.

    It does when the people SHE NAMED as witnesses, discredit her story. The boyfriend was the end of the line. She's a liar.

    Do you want to review the facts of her statements and the evidence her witnesses give?

    I'm happy to do so, again.

    No doubt Flake is a tool, but I'd not qualify him as a key, perhaps some sort of plunger or something. As to Collins, she's trying everything in her power to find a way to avoid her opponent getting a $1m campaign jump in 2020...
