So far not a single word from Susan Collins about Dr. Ford. lgf.bz/2pCoiTX
Collins is gaslighting furiously, trying to picture Kavanaugh as a hero of civil rights and women’s rights. It’s nauseating.
lgf.bz/2pCoiTX
It looks like Collins is going to go through her whole repulsive speech without a single word about Dr. Ford. Smiling. lgf.bz/2pCoiTX
She’s finally mentioning Dr. Ford, only to claim Kavanaugh deserves a “presumption of innocence.” lgf.bz/2pCoiTX
This is so grotesque. Collins said she believed Dr. Ford was a survivor of sexual assault, then spent 10 minutes calling her a liar in every possible way without using the word. lgf.bz/2pCoiTX
Now she’s bashing Democrats for their “appalling lack of respect” for Dr. Ford. I can’t even. lgf.bz/2pCoiTX
I have a feeling I could turn off the hearing now and come back to it in 6 hours and Collins would still be gaslighting. lgf.bz/2pCoiTX
Finally, after more than 40 minutes Collins concludes by announcing she’s going to vote to confirm Kavanaugh, surprising absolutely no one. lgf.bz/2pCoiTX

I find it absolutely baffling that Trump's comments about declaring a state of national emergency and using the military to seize land at the border haven't caused a MUCH bigger outcry. This is one of his most disturbing threats yet.
Trump is now playing out the bad ideas of autocrats down through history. A completely phony "crisis" with heavily racist overtones, leading to a massive power grab under the guise of an emergency.
Maybe it's just me, but I think we should take the guy who has the ability to launch nuclear war seriously.

He’s already lying like a rug, boasting wildly, and repeating himself again and again. lgf.bz/2R93sMm
“You’ll see vast numbers of vehicles driving through the desert and entering where you don’t have a very powerful fence or a wall.” He’s just making this shit up.
This is wild. Some of the most incoherent babbling I’ve seen yet from this loon.

“Iran is a MUCH DIFFERENT COUNTRY than it was when I became president.”
Trump has now repeated this boast at least five times.
Trump says he had a meeting with generals who had a "lot of computer boards. More computer boards than they've ever made."

#Kavanaugh tweet storm beginning now:

1/
Today’s confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is the most significant judicial victory for conservatives of my lifetime. All conservatives should thank @SenMajLdr & @ChuckGrassley for their extraordinary leadership through a grueling battle.

2/
Moving the court from 5-4 liberal to 5-4 conservative will have sweeping ramifications for the country. Most importantly, it will restore the rule of law & the Constitution. Democrat efforts to end run state legislatures, Congress & the executive branch will now be fruitless.

Kavanaugh repeatedly lied. He signed a letter to his friends about their beach week rental: “FFFFF, Bart"

He was asked several times about the name Bart. He was under oath & lied every time. Here is one example w his own letter next to his perjury
@JeffFlake
@SenatorCollins
Kavanaugh was asked at least 4 times about being referred to as "Bart."

From the hearing transcript:

LEAHY: I’m trying to get a straight answer from you under oath. Are you Bart Kavanaugh that he’s referring to, yes or no? That’s it...

KAVANAUGH: You’d have to ask him.

Dr. Ford’s assault was extraordinarily similar to mine more than 20 years ago. I remember the feeling of being terrified while held down & feeling his tremendous weight. I remember the light rain and that the grass was damp beneath me. I remember what he said—it was disgusting 1/
I clearly recall how I escaped the situation & how clueless he was of my fear. He was happy & laughing and not understanding why I wouldn’t come home with him. He even called me weeks later to ask me to lunch. I didn’t know who he was because I’d blocked his name from my mind 2/
What’s I do not remember is exactly who was at the party we’d just left. I recall two people. I do not remember whether I heard anyone talking nearby while I was attacked. I do not remember how loud the music was or wasn’t at the party. 3/

Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement makes him seem overtly political. Not a good look for a Judge hoping to be a Supreme Court Justice. #KavanaughHearings
HOLY SHIT!!! Did Brett Kavanaugh really just say this is a political hit by the Clintons?!! Really?! The GOP playbook is so predictable, and getting old, when in doubt blame the email lady. #KavanaughHearings
I cant even pay attention to the rest of Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement I am still dumbfounded that Kavanaugh really just said that this is a plot by the Clintons. How, why, what? How could HRC have orchestrated this? Its just utterly ridiculous. #KavanaughHearings

SCOTUS won’t happen but by proclaiming his virginity as a defense, Kavanaugh has crossed the threshold & become a verb.

Kavanaughing is the act of defensive & glaringly insufficient* virtue-signaling.

*Assaults aren’t on a📆& virginity isn’t relevant—let alone a defense/excuse.
But instead of investigating, the public can only expect more kavanauging from the GOP
All the GOP has left is huffing, puffing & kavanaughing their way thru. But what virtue are they signaling?

Also, how many times has Kavanaugh—instead of answering—tried to Senate Judiciary members to answer their own questions? Has any nominee ever been so disrespectful?
