Today what I am witnessing is so disappointing and heart breaking, this is what a Two Party System has become, it is time for a Government for the People to work as such without bickering as children, as well as Political Term Limits for every single politician in Congress!ENOUGH

Why no wedding ring? Get so drunk last night, blood pressure wouldn’t allow it to slide on?

He looks like he's OCD

Look how he marked his terrirtoy as he sat down.

Even she is right, he is a complete different man now with a family, u cannot hang on to what happened 30 yrs back

Take the fucking lie detector test asshat

Watching a man having to defend himself against bullshit claims is sad. This is a DISGRACE!!

I can’t stand his little puckered mouth. I hate him.

Noisy, hollering. Shouting at everyone and scolding. Boy, what a power trip.

Dishon. Brett M. Kavanaugh.

Shrill, self-entitled dickery in the first three minutes. This will not go well for him without an attitude adjustment.

ConfirmKavanaughNow

HE CAN WITHDRAW FROM THE NOMINATION. So outraged! KavanaughHearings

Blackout Brett

pjhoody He’s not wearing his wedding band... His wife knows what’s up

Appears angry...........that he was caught!

Starting off almost angrily...not a good tone in my opinion

His daughters with mini skirts, crossed legs are not present?

GTFOH, Kav. NoOnKavanaugh

His face says it all...

Anyone else think that Brett Kavanaugh and his wife look like they could be twins?

A little bit too much time adjusting his nameplate to take his testimony seriously ! sociopath FOS

He should just quit, go home, and slap his Real Doll to vent his frustration.

Will he tell the truth or just "redirect" the questions?

The look on the wife’s face

Kavanagh is a joke. Just like trump

Ugh...

Where’s the Sexual Assault Prosecutor when we need her!!!

Here's hoping he falls flat on his face and we can get rid of him.

Is the one in front row going to make faces and her hand signs.

His wife is pissed. If looks could kill

Dragging his wife and fam along with. This is such a guy thing.

He’s gonna L I E just watch

He has an angry assaulter face

Better get to the next on the list Cons. That or a full investigation by the FBI. Kavanaugh won't be seated due to not enough votes to get this vile disgusting sex offender confirmed. A lot of Republicans have changed their minds , about a dozen now.

But can we believe Blumenthal? I believe he has his own credibility issues?

Uh oh

Does he believe JoeBiden should be investigated?

Does he believe BillClintonIsARapist and KeithEllisonAbuse victims?

But i dont believe the washington post. Its not about believe, but about evidence.

DaleyDaley03 Thank you, Sen. Blumenthal.

Blumenthal is a liar.. He has zero credibility

Hey coke you better remove the coke can or your going to loose customers

Well spoken Mr Blumenthal

That woman makes me puke

I 100% believe that you 100% believe. Thank you for your stories.

😢

HerTruthMovementrespectit

Glad he is waiting for the process to be over before making a determination. 🙄 But as anyone with a brain knows, this is a show for predetermined votes.

she just represented herself,nothing link with teachers,Mr.Blumenthal, please don't use these kind of words to twist it.

Fallow the money she’s been paid for this testimony she’s given! False accusations hurt real victims!

Yet her four best personal witnesses do not, and deny the events ever took place? We are to believe a woman and not a man simply because she is a woman? Her dem attorneys tell her how to speak, sound and appear to convince the non-thinking public.

Yeah, thanks for lying to keep the court from turning conservative, have fun at your perjury trial.

SenBlumenthal would believe the moon is flat and full of milk as long as a Liberal or Democrat said so!! What a lap dog this idiot is!!

Yawn, yawn, yawn. Are there any insomniacs out there? If so turn on a recording of this tonight and I promise you sleep will come in seconds. This guy is so stupidly stupid it defies definition- may be dumbest Senator I have see - close race bet he & Feinstein.

Thank you SenBlumenthal Cried my eyes out watching that. IBelieveChristine MeToo WhyDidntIReport

Isn't this the same guy that lied about serving in Vietnam, until he was caught? Lol

Please give Dr. Ford some caffeine and A HUGE HUG please.....take one reflective moment to think about WHAT she is putting herself through

He is a huge liar himself , remember Vietnam ?

I was waiting for Dr. Ford to thank you Mr. Blumenthal for his Vietnam War military service

Blumenthal " Back in Nam we believed women".

You mean the 5 minute softball infomercials? Those?

We believe her too! She is so consistent!

Still WithoutEvidence but Blumenthal believes you. KavanaughHearings

"You have given the nation a teachable moment."

SenJeffMerkley SenatorDurbin SenBlumenthal thank you. GOP = Misogyny

Well, Blumenthal was probably having flash-backs from his non-tour in Vietnam! 🤣

Stand up MAN

SenBlumenthal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This pea brain thought he would get away with phony Vietnam valor his opinion on this means nothing

BLUMENTHAL the FBI itself said THEY WILL/CAN NOT INVESTIGATE!! SO THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T LET HER DOWN!! YOUR A LOW LIFE!!!

Show Christine your support & RT IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord

And then he exposed 45 for denying Judge testimony and said it’s a “coverup”. Wow...👍🏼

Every time I see this I'm always disappointed - I think, possibly, maybe, just once there will be a little (R) by the name of the Senator saying this kind of thing. And there never is.

Senator Blumenthal 'believes' Dr. Ford BECAUSE of what she cannot remember.

“I remember when I served in Vietnam” Sen. Blumenthal...except, he never did. The things people will lie about, that are so easily debunkable.

Sen. Blumenthal brought me to tears. American women are better off because of Senators like him.

Because it suits him. If she were making exactly the same claim against a Democrat, he'd stop believing her.

We believe your lies too.

Coming from a Vietnam Vet!

And that comes from a known liar !!

Why are they not exploring personality changes that occur when someone is under the influence of alcohol. They are real for many.

She sure flies a lot! ConfirmKavanaugh

Blumenthal = BS Why aren’t dens questioning her? They are holding her up, not accountable.

Not willing to give up who advised her though!

We all believe you, Dr. Ford. There's just a bunch of folks who don't care, because women just aren't that important.

lmao - Does anyone believe him? The same guy who lied multiple times saying he served in Vietnam? How does this guy still have a job after this type of deceit?

Do you believe that only her beach friends knew her story about assault?

That was a home run for Blumenthal.... very compelling.

Hodor

I do also

no corroboration, no facts, no witnesses

But unclear on everything else..................Hmmmmm?

Dr Ford, you are courageous.

Where is the evidence

Discusting excuse for a human being. Hurts women who were abused

amybwang The most prevalent thing MsThing remembers is them [laughing] her while she claims she’s under one of them...😎

But wasnt 100% certain on the year it happened but says she was 15. NEXT...

What, was it like, "Bwa-hah-hah-hah-hah!"?

She is crazy! She doesn’t know what she exculpatory means and she has 2 masters degrees and a PhD, she talks like a baby. I’m not buying her act.

I believe her.

She’s as real as Anita Hill was, which is not at all.

Really ..... now he is a killer

Of course she did she was coached by one of Hillary Clinton's attorneys sitting to her right. I wonder if she has any emails she needs deleting.

Imwatching this with no prejudice- but She needs to cut out the “ lm just about to cry “ ( with not a tear )tone, that she’s switching on and off - and - explain why as she went in “ a different door in store to her mother “ and said hello to her “attacker”

Yet, not even her bestie who was supposedly at this party, can corroborate her story.

What did you expect this democRAT activist to say 🙄

😢💔

Ya well she just stated she could not tell who was on top of her, GOOGLE came in to play,,also. Tell me about GOOGLE who has chosen to use their power to stop conservative voices on social media.

I stand with DrChristineBlaseyFord . She is 100% a teller of truth to power.

clearly shows republicans do not believe a child have been raped if they don't report it asap.This will prevent children from ever reporting it later cause Republican parents will not believe their own child. sad day for republicans I refuse to stand with this party anymore

Wow...

I am 100% sure that’s the fakest, no tear emotional testimony I have ever seen. Couldn’t she have at least thought of a dead relative or animal and drudged up a tear from her cold soul as she destroys a man and his family?

I am not American, but this brought tears to my eyes... TRUTH is TRUTH.. and cannot be bent...to ones liking ... Time for M. Judge to be subpoenaed !!

Yeah says the two guys that have come forward to say they were the ones. 😂

She's LYING!!!

Believed every single word.

The story of two legacies; Grassley’s headed to the dumpster fire, Dr. Ford’s historic courage. IBelieveHer

Also says she entertains GOOGLE interns at her house. SenFeinstein is an alleged agent of China. I see a connection, do you? Also, who is paying for Ford's attorney's?

.FoxNews talking heads and Republlcans in the toilet.

SenateGOP are not nearly as brave as DrFord. They couldn't even bring themselves to question her themselves, and sought outside counsel. Beyond shameful that it's even gone this far. Rhetoric destroying the free world - and dinosaurs clutching desperately at straws.

Stupidest response I’ve ever heard. Can she remember every word to all four stanzas of the Star Spangled Banner? What about the lyrics to the “Three’s Company” theme song? She’s surely been exposed to those, too.

But doesn't remember where or when. And others at the party do not cooberate her story. GOP should have just punted...this process is a no win for them. Bill Clinton had rape accusations and skated, so we'll see.

I am 10000% certain she's a lying moonbat.

Reminder: Dr. Blasey Ford is a professor of psychology, if there is someone who can make a lie, believable, is her.

If he denies he was there, his calendar better show where he was and witnesses to back it up

She also said there were NO other girls there, now there was two? Why didn’t she leave when she saw they were drunk

expertwitness firsthandwitness sexualassaultvictim hero IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord hippocampus

I’m 100% certain that she’s not 100% certain.

How believable was Ms. Ford's testimony?

and the judge is 100 percent sure it wasn't him...now what?

Give her the Oscar

She's lying. I can see right through her!

I am stuck on this one. Didn’t she say they turned up the music to drown out her sounds? How could she hear uproarious laughter? Did I hear her wrong?

100% certain she’s wrong....

Is Ford going to provide any actual evidence ?

It is difficult to watch this woman lie, lie, lie under oath and smear Kavanaugh. Anyone still not understand the Men Going Their Own Way movement? This woman is now the poster woman for MGTOW.

Yes but she doesn’t remember what she was wearing, what he was wearing, the house location, the date, how she got there, who got the booze, or the sequence of how the party started & ended. liar

What sick F's, Kavanaugh and his buddy, Judge. F them.

I have so much respect for this woman. In fact she gets all the respect she's earned, plus all the respect that I have lost for our Republican Senators during this nomination.

And there is the screw up the word "accidentally" as I listen to Ford she is really a nut case and out to attempt to destroy an innocent man...Disgusted as I am a real victim of sexual assault ad NOTHING happened to Ford other than a brief moment of some boys scaring her..lies

She needed a better acting coach. She is trying her best to fake cry but only vocal fries

What does this ugly hag want? Big deal, she was 18 and in a party. An 18 year old guy went too far with her. Life goes on, Ma'am, your act has been called, but the sort of money you would get out of this is enough for retirement for you and your children, is it not? Lame.

IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord because I was similarly assaulted at high school parties in 1982. These house parties, absent parents and full of beer, were NORMAL back then. We went where our friends went. Now we know how horrible this was. KavanaughHearings

“Accidentally.”

I have been weeping listening to her recount. I am in complete AWE of her strength & bravery. IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord IBelieveSurvivors

This is so ridiculous. This woman is having to relive everything and is clearly terrified. Having a prosecutor grill her on details if there was a tv playing downstairs? Give me a f- break. She submitted specific details, passed a polygraph test. The GOP are just evil.

So far, not so good for this woman!

A truly brave woman! 💪🏼 WhyIDidntReport MeToo

What a joke.

This heffa is questioning her like she is on trial. 😒 KavanaughHearings Kavanaugh

Lying in public.

Uh oh. High drama and a Psycho card.

Complete Psycho. How can anyone believe this crazy psychology professors? The whining and screeching is laughable.

Hilarious

What’s the over-under that she was given the questions the attorney would ask prior to the hearing?

God Bless You Christine!!!! May God use your brave testimony to help in the healing of millions upon millions whom too have experienced sexual trauma in any way!! Love You! Know you are a brave and surviving OVERCOMER!!!!! You Go Girl !!!!!

Her testimony has cinched Kavanaugh's confirmation. Why?...She is not credible. If such a flimsy accusation is allowed to undermine our system of government, then we truly have anarchy. The radical left want anarchy. The Senators understand this and they will vote to confirm.

Well now it's ah done situation. The Left could not have him appointed due to their upcoming agenda. The plan to win both houses, then the crashing begins. This Ford Gal was Coached and Rehursed for the last 2 weeks on her presentation.The Left ade sure it would work in her favor

I BELIEVE DR. FORD!! Kavanaugh lies!! BelieveSurvivors

Seems to me if we have any concerns over Mr. Kavanaugh's character it would be prudent to pick someone else to serve on the Supreme Court. There are plenty of other qualified people to choose from. This is not a partisan issue!

As a woman I’m disgusted by this. I fear for my sons and daughter. I feel awful for persons that have actually been assaulted and raped. Can you imagine them listening to this? I’m sorry, I don’t believe her. That is sad, but I just don’t.

Fake news reports . pay off

Grassley is a A-hole!!

Haha, so she knew Brett would be a Supreme Court Justice in 2012...

Karma doesn’t forget a name! For those posting ugly ignorant comments, you are just as guilty as ANY sexual perpetrator

There should be law enforcement officers RIGHT NOW entering that room and cuffing Kavanagh and leading him away. Fucking animal.

She says she remembers Kavanaugh being there but who else can she remember being there. KavanaughHearings

Grassley's mind is made up. He does not care about the truth. The only thing he seeks to do just like the other old goof (McConnell) is to put Kavanaugh on the SCOTUS. Kavanaugh does not belong on the SCOTUS. BORK HIM!

Sad that Kavanaugh would even be nominated!

BASICALLY, SHE SAID, HE SAID. NO CORROBORATION Timely intense claims. No evidence.

I believe her story.

Whenever I lie to a committee about being assaulted the thing that constantly comes to mind is my desire for caffeine.

IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord I also think the Republicans running this shitshow will wear the shame of it for the rest of their wretched, cowardly lives. ChuckGrassley senatemajldr

She doesn’t look or sound “ terrified”....more like ‘determined and well prepared ‘....

The lawyer was a good pick, she is very kind but I'm finding her absolutely terrifying. Exactly the wolf in sheeps cothing republicans wanted. Ford is very convincing so no idea if she is going to have any impact.

where are the witnesses?

That ruined her life? after getting three advanced degrees getting married children having a huge advanced career Her life was ruined What is wrong with this picture

crocodile tears lol.

She already has a book deal..

I cried 😢 MeToo

Grassley started with an attack and defended the indefensible. There must be an FBI investigation. The women of America do not trust Grassley to be unbiased. SHAME on Grassley!

This is one of the most heart-wrenching things I've ever heard. There is no way she is lying nor mistaken. She knew exactly who Mark Kavanaugh and Mark Judge were and what they had done.

Maybe they should get Kavanaugh drunk before his next testimony. They might see some one other than the “choir boy”

So much for "civility."

thank you Dr. Blasey Ford, from the bottom of my heart, for your courage. I are in awe of your strength.

This woman's story is laughable. Her tears and shaky voice are not convincing at all.

I feel so bad for her. All the pain.

ho yea

Her story will be torn apart. It’s easy to see that she is lying.

💵💵💵

It's hard to watch this. Unless she is an Academy Award level actress she seems very believable.

Not one tear..just a squeaky pathetic voice naming details of supposed atrack..not one detail about dates, times..puke

I would be too if i were bringing this lie before the senate.

Wonder why they had to hire a female attorney to handle the rest? 🤔

She is so strong.

She was paid. A political prostitute.

She sounds so UNBELIEVABLE ! ConfirmKavanaughNow

Intimidating the witness. Not a good beginning.

mateagold In no way was Grassley sympathetic. He came off as rude and lacking empathy

mateagold At what point was Grassley sympathetic?

Dr. Ford is legit. Very believable!

Nasty man

She’s a faker

How can she remember so much about what she drank, who was there, their state of mind, the layout of the house, but can’t recall when or where?

Combative will turn to soft approach Dana needed both M & K

How hypocritical that Grassley & the shameless GOP are hiding behind the skirt of their woman prosecutor to try to discredit Dr. Ford at the KavanaughHearings . KavanaughFord

What a brave woman. May her strength shine through the brutal fog of misogyny in that room. IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord

This hearing will either give sexual assault/rape victims breath or it will ensure that they continue to hold their breath of silence.

This is gonna get stupid real quick.

Greetdekeyser I feel for her....

Sending strength to Dr. Ford as she conquers her demons.

And more lies from Ford too!! Just watch the lies flow rapidly from her mouth!!

Goodbye Kavanaugh

What an extraordinary patriotic act by Dr. Blasey Ford. It would be much easier for her to sit back & allow Kavanaugh to be pushed through. She's making a sacrifice at great personal risk because she believe our country needs to hear her story.
