I was married to a psychologist. She said as much about memories, but more colloquially - events that are associated with strong feelings or emotions make for the clearest and most enduring memories.
Vanessa P And water is wet. Anymore astonishing insight you'd care to share with us? Everybody knows that emotional events are more likely to be remembered than mundane ones.
Basically Fords Summary: "I dont know, cant remember, memory fuzzy, tired, not quite sure, dont know, think so, maybe, mmm let me see, dont have date; have to pull up the email, can look it up, not sure, dont understand, guess its possible; dont know, i fly a lot; but i am scared of flying," Yeah, agree.
Trauma memories are often fragmented and messed up with sensory information improperly encoded. Valenced events are better recalled because we tend to remember them a lot (I.e. call them to mind repeatedly across our lifespan).
Smells are my trigger just as laughter is hers . Does this mean every veteran from Vietnam nam with ptsd is lying? Or even the Iraq or Afghanistan vets ? What about my dad that served in ww2 and Korea? All lying . There’s a reason we don’t come forward and this is it .
I remember the exact day my friend was sexually assaulted. I guarantee she will remember that day for the rest of her life. How can someone who was so violated not even remember the day or the details of when it happened?
“Attractive, good witness” ?? “In other words, pleasing”??? Jesus freaking Christ the question is: Do you find Dr Ford CREDIBLE. What is up with that random comment on her attractiveness *face palm*
Someone who wasn't mentally deficient would have bullshited that he meant attractive for the Democratic "cause", evidently his intellect and lack of filter were on display.
Tsjiha23 Just OK nothing to talk about actually and she sounds infantile in her mannerisms and she’ not spewing about the situations she can laugh and sip coffee
@@willynilly7247 paid russian troll you picked a clever disguised! LMAO!!! What the hell you suggest for her to do? Reaching for the Kleenex box? Then, what would you say, you filth? That she's putting on a show? I bet you wouldn't last five seconds, out there in the lion's dent without breaking down and squill, so stfu.
kimberly s Totally agree with you. Also Trevor Noah actually did a really good job covering this story as well. Stephen’s, Seth’s and Trevor’s humors make days like these a little easier to endure.
One side was calm and forthcoming, another side hid behind his fake outrage to dodge every single yes or no question especially whether he thinks FBI should investigate, if he's really that innocent like he claims to be, why not let FBI clear his name? Also he kept throwing temper tantrums like some spoiled rich brat, that alone should disqualify him immediately, who would want such a person on the Supreme Court?
Y’all are dangerously silly. Maybe she’s lying. Maybe she’s telling the truth. Maybe she’s not lying but not speaking the truth. We do not know. We can’t. That’s what sucks about these situations.
Because innocence is not what should be proven, guilt is. And he replied that he would do anything the Senate wants him to do. If they can't except it she could always file a complaint.
zero judicial temperament. exactly. also, they need all the votes. i forget where i heard it, but someone suggested that collins/murkowski/flake/etc ...could just as easily deny/delay voting until fbi investigation. that way they won't get run out of town (whether voting for or against confirming kavanaugh); voting tomorrow will be the beginning of the end of their careers.
I wasn't the only one that noted his aggression and clear party bias. It's an emotional time for him true accusations or no, but if he can't control himself and respect democratic congressmen he should not be on the supreme court.
Right? Bringing back integrity to the country is one of Trump's biggest wins.. can't wait to see him get a second term so he can finish righting the wrongs that racist Democrats have been trying to enact for hundreds of years..
The whole world is laughing about Trump, even americans stated to us that they know that this man is a clown. In only 3 years (including the election) you lost more integrity than in the years from Bush to Obama to this clown. The damage done by Trump will need decades to be repaired
Lindsey Graham is a sellout. He was very anti-Trump until he realized it would benefit him to get all in the bandwagon. As much as I dislike Trump, I think it would be hilarious if after Graham practically sold his soul for this, he got passed over anyways. Would serve him right honestly.
this is incredibly big of her to do. it makes my heart heavy that she has to relive that moment every time she has to speak it aloud to reiterate that her trauma is real. and now the entire nation is looking at her. but she stands seemingly unafraid. such an astounding person.
Kavnauagh :"I'm like really really innocent, in fact I'm the single most innocent guy in history, but I will never allow the FBI to investigate about how innocent I truly am, I will never even allow other alleged witnesses to testify. You all should just take my word for it." Yeah, that checks out.
Why should he fuel this media fire? If she is telling the truth she should file a complaint and let the police investigate. She is no one to be treated special. He is innocent until proven guilty and the burden of proof is on her. He doesn’t need to agree to anything she says.
If I was accused of a crime that was going to cost me a job of a lifetime. I would definitely want the FBI to investigate and then I would bring charges on every single person who took part in these false accusations. But if I was guilty I would just deny loudly and hold out for the vote.
Exactly this. I don't know why everyone can't see it this way. If you don't want the investigation you have something to hide. If you have something to hide from the FBI you shouldn't be on the Supreme Court. Connect the dots people.
The Senate did an investigation that is more thorough than any FBI investigation can possibly be.. because the senate trumps the FBI in federal power.. An investigation by the FBI would have been fruitless because any information they could have found was already known to the senate through their investigation.. What part of that dont you understand? Our 3 main government bodies hold more power than unelected officials in a 3 letter agency.. and this is by design! The FBI is a puppy when put next to the Pit Bull known as the Senate..
Yeah, I'm sure the Senate is much better that the FBI at investigating criminal cases and gathering evidence for trial. They have so much federal power, after all! (That was sarcasm.)
zinov3 How have the Senate had time to investigate all these allegations, talk to all the witness's, talk to the people at the parties etc etc etc it takes more time than a week. If someone had accused me of something I hadn't done I would of been straight to a lawyer and filed a civil suit for slander and libel so they have to prove it in court, he is a Judge he should know how the law works.
Even if the FBI did and investigation and It proved he didn't do it. by that time most likely the Dems will control the Senate and he wouldn't get the job anyways. that's why they want the FBI to investigate to stall
Dianne Feinstein touched my ass. I don't remember where, and it was about 35 or 36 years ago, and the people that were there I told you about denied they were there because they have issues. So you should destroy her career because I said so. "What a sham!"
Charlie G Fair and square??? Upfront??? You mean because they couldn't find any dirt on Garland. If the GOP had dirt on Garland they would have used it in a heart beat. The GOP leaders aren't exactly glowing examples of ethics or integrity.
@Prof. Weed Oh really, so you've solved the 35 year old mystery. Now all you have to do is get her 4 witnesses to agree,,, Oh wait, they don't agree with her story, lol
He wasn't shy of sharing his opinion about how be thinks this is all a "left wing conspiracy", but when it came to an FBI investigation, he couldn't he even give a simple "yes" or "no" response...
Chi Tran FBI has no jurisdiction since the accusation was of an indecent 36 years about and with high school students. So what do you and the current 47 people who like your comment expect?
@@laurants The state of Maryland actually has no statute of limitations concerning how long ago the "alleged" crime was committed, so the FBI does have jurisdiction.
Innocent people when accused. "Come at me. Polygraph. Sworn oaths. FBI. Anything to clear my name I have nothing to fear and only my reputation to regain from this" Guilty people when accused. "I will attack my accuser(s) in any way I can to try and undermine their credibility and draw attention away from the reems of evidence for my guilt, including claiming I am the real victim".
A woman with two teen daughters in a MSNBC interview really put GOP base mindset regarding Kavanaugh scandals in a nutshell. In that interview the woman was like "Groping a woman? What's a big deal of that?" Then she said to her own daughters "How many guys you know think that's not a big deal?" And her daughters kept nodding and echoing her opinion. This woman and her daughters will fit right in in the world of "the Handmaid's Tale".
Sad but true. But women are enduring a lot, they just need the right rhythm, they are dancers and singers and we need them to dance and sing and dream of good things again. And they will.
Even if the allegations about Kavanaugh are false (which I doubt), he's still clearly demonstrated an instability during these hearings. I don't know about you, but this is not how I expect a supreme court justice to behave.
Jim case keep in mind that if he is guilty then he is the one attacking, attacking someone he already tried to rape. And we should hold someone looking to ascend to the highest court to a very high standard. That means they don't get to strike back and attack Trump-style if accused. They must calmly take it in stride. He wouldn't allow such conduct from a defendant in his court, and he must not be allowed to act with such conduct and still receive the job. Stop making excuses.
+Maddie Yeah, I'm sure you just sit back and take it when you are falsely accused and your reputation ruined, and your family goes through hell. Uh huh
That and a lot of the times he didn’t address questions he’d dance around them talking up his high school achievements, as if a straight A track star is incapable of sexual abuse.
What a historic, incredible, tragic, heartbreaking day it's been. I watched every hour of the testimony that I was able to, and, just going by what I heard and saw (which is all any of us can do in the absence of an investigation), I have to say I believe Dr. Ford. Kavanaugh certainly didn't help his own case, nor did Graham et al who tried to come to his rescue with a very Trumpian "lets blame it all on the Dems" strategy. But setting all that aside, this is a very credible and sympathetic victim, and she won the day in my eyes. Say no to Kavanaugh.
what would they investigate? of the 4W's, she doesn't know What,When, or Where. all they can do is ask people questions & report their answers. you'd know this if you really watched
@ drip drop. Also, the FBI takes the accusation, then looks for evidence. They don't already assume that the evidence has already been collected for them. Let's leave this up to the professionals why don't we?
Yehudi Menuhin Don't even get me started, I don't consider the average American at any point in history to have been a winner as a result of a presidential election.
the guy who's really laughing here is Trump, because he knows he grabbed 100 times more pu**sy himself than Kavanaugh did... I'd be honored if some fellow concerned citizens would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of 80s/90s classic songs on my channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Radiohead, Tom Petty, Phil Collins, the GooGoo Dolls, Sarah McClachlan, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
6:59 "attractive good witness" "pleasing" I had to pause and smash my face into a pillow real quick. Would she have been considered un-credible if she were not "pleasing"? Would it make the trial less bearable if you didn't have something to gawk at? Turns out dinosaurs still roam the earth
In response to Lindsay Graham’s comment “Sexual Assault allegations never happen to them” What about Al Franken, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Moonves, etc.? There’s been people on both sides who have been accused. Does he even know what he’s talking about?
drpepperman2765 well it shows the republicans didn’t destroy him. The me too movement and his own previous statements and views drove him to resign before any investigation even... I think Al Franken jumped the gun and shouldn’t have resigned... should have let an investigation happen if he wanted, apologized and moved on... I also don’t get why the hell you would put him and Harvey Weinstein in a point together... one was a horrific media monster who raped and abused women for decades and whom deserves jail... the other a politician who took a picture touching some women’s boobs on top of her vest... the fact that certain groups of people put those two together sickens me. Or add in what Cosby was just found guilty of... drugging and raping someone... again NOTHING like Al Franken Honestly how in the hell can these men be the same in your mind... there IS a difference between cases and accusations and I’m sorry if I don’t agree that all men are these terrible monsters just cause lol Also are you saying that Harvey shouldn’t have been exposed? Or are you saying it was a bad thing he was? Otherwise your first comment just doesn’t make sense lol Present evidence, corroborating testimony, witnesses... and see... if you guys go down this path further your country may implode.... convicting people based on their politics being against yours with no regard for if there is ANY VALIDITY to a claim. Something terrible happened to her no doubt and my heart goes out to her but I thinks she’s wrong about who... even her own witnesses say she is wrong...
John O what’s “insane” about Trump & the GOP? Is it bringing jobs back to America? Is it pulling out of Globalist treaties like TPP & the Paris accord? Is it arresting 4000+ pedophiles & rescuing children? Is it going after traitors like McCabe, McCain, Stzrok & many more? Just wait a lille longer & all your evil heroes including Billary Clinton, Comey, Brennan, Mueller, Loretta Lynch& 100s of others will be on their way to Gitmo.
No, I have been studying the beast system for 5 years straight after meeting companies working on the mark of the beast. The Lord put this on my heart and basically said the mark is 3 fold, it is also in the mind a persons way of thinking. My notes: Today want to preach on the ANTICHRIT doctrine. It is hard for people to see spiritually and who the real enemy is to humanity. We basically preach on this channel the antichrist is already here, cause we see his spirit and we see those who have the markings of Satan in their forehead, the way of thinking.

Pavla Trojanová -- He didn't want to say she was... _'telegenic',_ as was said about the GUILTY Republican witness from roughly thirty years ago about whatshisname... Ollie North.
I can't believe the level of outrage over the most mundane words. He called a woman attractive and pleasing...definition of attractive: "having beneficial qualities or features that induce someone to accept what's being offered." This is why democrats lost to Trump, and why I stopped voting left. If y'all extremists would quit crying wolf over every petty thing in the world than maybe people would listen to your ideas. But honestly, the left is so out of touch with real life that the only way to keep relevance is to over-saturate mainstream media with garbage-ass political shows like john oliver and stephen colbert that base political opinions on cheap-shot jokes and belittling comments that hold no weight when rebutted with facts. I hate Trump and this republican nightmare, but it's still better than a world where calling a woman attractive and pleasing is somehow considered abhorrent or disgusting.
Shawn Bayly It's not wrong to call a woman attractive, but there is a time and place, and this specific incident had neither going for it. If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you. The women in question was in the middle of a hearing, enduring public testimony with the outmost grace and composure. Even Fox News found her credible, but the first thing out of Mr. Hatch's mouth was a comment about her appearance. It made him seem completely tone deaf, insensitive and out of touch.
Can it really be true that these men have been elected as Senators with the responsibility for governing the country. We are watching this from Europe with total incredulity. What has happened to the once great and formidable United States.
Rich selfish people took control. We the people are upset and embarrassed by our leaders. Please know the American People are better than the current ridiculous, "entitled" in office, Election Day is on the horizon!
We got complacent and let too much slip out of our (the people's) hands. I am sorry you have to witness this. Trust me when I say, there are so many good American citizens left though. Hopefully, we will regain some semblance of normality within the next 2 years.
Millions of us Americans wonder the same. We are embarrassed & humiliated by the degraded behavior of many of our elected officials. "Draining the Swamp" seems to have dredged up their own slick & slime. Believe it or not, a lot of Americans THINK that Lindsey Grahams "outburst" was some sort of "powerful Historic Speech" - not only was it unsubstantiated conjecture, it was laughable.
Cory ..you have to be a Russian troll...even the usual, dumb as dog shit, American could not possibly believe Colbert is ruining(?) himself as a comedian......
Obviously I get that it's satire? I enjoy his comedy so that makes me uneducated? I really don't follow. Listening to a light hearted version of current events, after watching the hearing myself, to get a funny outside perspective doesn't mean I'm uneducated. But okay 🤷
Melissa BigMac - Yes, a flying phobia doesn’t make it impossible to fly. It just makes it more or less difficult, depending on the extent of the phobia. There are ways to help cope with it and I would assume for such an event as testifying before Congress - some recovery time would be in order.... Phobias can appear out of the blue, but in the case of flying - there are some reasons to be nervous! Most people don’t think about that because it’s familiar to them, just as most people don’t think about the risks of car travel.
Who knew that Arby's had a higher standard than Democrats.. at least when someone accuses you at Arby's the leadership investigates and then makes a decision.. the Democrats didn't even help with the senate investigation of these allegations and deemed kavanaugh guilty without any proof.. though, happily the Republicans on the senate investigated the allegations and found kavanaugh to be innocent.. P.S. before you mention an FBI investigation you should know that the Senate has more power than the FBI and can conduct more thorough investigation than the FBI.. so am FBI investigation would have been fruitless..
Will the real Kavanaugh stand-up! So much Anger from a man that says I'm innocent! Two faces one man. " I like Beer" repeatedly Kavanaugh kept saying. Was this an actual Hearing? No! Kavanaugh's personality is not fit to be on the Supreme Court. He attacked Senators who asked basic questions and was belligerent towards female Senators He was like a whining baby. Biased on ever level and brutally mean-spirited. This is what our Supreme Court is going to allow to sit and represent Americans fairly. He's nothing but a trump operative and it's disgusting and he should not be seated! Lindsey Graham used the word despicable. Despicable was his actions against Dr. Ford.
If I was slandered nationally, based on something I allegedly did during high school thirty years ago with zero backing evidence, I would be a little angry.
He is being accused of sexual assault. No matter what happened he would be upset. Especially if it is in fact false. His name is being dragged through the mud and his career is at stake. He is right to be upset and angry
He does not have anger issues wtf. He's expressing his frustration because people are slandering his name and he has a false accusations against him so he's trying to defend himself. I would be hella pissed too lol.
Stephen Hancock A little Angry is fine. But Kavanaugh's behavior was despicable.. He is a tainted man! I thought the eyes of Justice was blind. But imagine Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court Justice..When he favors everything Republican. There's no middle road! That's a problem. He does not have the Temperament to serve on our highest Court.
@@sunshine9717 he was extremely more calm than I'd expect someone to be. Hes clearly frustrated and is just wanting this entire thing to be over with so his family can rest even though no matter what he will be attacked as an abuser for the rest of his life regardless of truth
@Sir Alfred Lawrence and Republicans get there's from Fox News.... At least late night comedians have professional writers and journalists to write their show, whereas Fox News polishes Trump's balls for 24 hours straight.
The way Kavanaugh attacked, cried, then asked the Female senator if she blacks when she drinks cause hes just curious makes me think he was drinking all morning
ya the man has faced death threats on his family, painful dialogue with his children and international slander from unsubstantiated claims all for the sake of Democrats political gain. Ya I can't imagine for a second why he would be mad.
+BigG99 And how do you think Blasey-Ford is currently being treated by you manly freedom fighters? I bet Kavanaugh hasn't received any rape threats....
@@SomeRandomNameOnline she's getting death threats too. She can't live in her house with her family for fear of getting attacked. She sometimes can't even stay with her family. Difference is he would've gotten attention regardless. He is going for one of the most powerful seats in the country and shee didn't want to be in the spotlight but felt it was her duty to America. She has it worse.
@TheWin200000 well there are idiots who voted for a kindergartner with irritable bowel syndrome trapped in a 70 yr old body, Though sadly when one points out the fact that the pointy headed cucks and constant victims, (BRAACK Hillary BRAAK Liberals BRAACK the Blacks etc ad infinitum) that voted 2nd place for Shitler, they never come back with some pithy line from one of Barney the orange dinosaurs speeches or a clip of the little handed stable genius being respectable....nope its all "Thank you sir may i have another" Sigh....
I'm still asking the question; if he's innocent and an investigation will clear his name why wouldn't you want that? why would you fire the prosecutor you hired to do the inquiry? Perhaps deep down they believe he did it?
Because an FBI investigation will go on, and on, and on. Past the midterms, and even further if it needs to, to block his confirmation. That is why. He has already had 6 full FBI background checks. What would they find? Time. That is all, and that is all the Dems want/need.
Antonis First, background checks are not investigations. I know, I used to be an investigator. I cleared three men in my career under similar circumstances. What is he so afraid of? I know why you are. You believe he's guilty and you don't give a fuck. At least be man enough to admit it.
No evidence No witnesses corroborates her story. Instead they deny any knowledge of that. Holded the accusation till last minute. And You want this to be credible.?????
Alberto Merchan Stop lying. There may not be corroborating eyewitnesses, but there are multiple people whom she informed over the years about Kavanaugh trying to rape her. They're witnesses, and they corroborate her story. Why don't you believe women?
It's a stalling tactic by the demorats.If she truly believes she assaulted by him she needs to report it to the police but she won't why?Cuz if she is caught lying she will be jailed for lying under oath
Thank you Stephen, it was a long day. I fear that party bullying will swing their vote. Dr Ford was honest, genuine and a very credible witness, bless her

Have a great day!!
The whole comment about "pleasing" and attractive just shows the thought process is towards women. GOP want women to be pretty and smiling at them and not being equal peers.
I found that remark especially telling. He's talking about Dr. Ford as though hearing her testimony about sexual assault made him want to date her. He's also reduced a question about the credibility of her testimony to his opinion of how she looked while giving that testimony. It is a supremely creepy comment no matter how you break it down.
It is his lack of understanding about how that can be perceived that is the most disturbing. He is so out of touch with reality that that is the best he can say about a woman who has just testified about sexual assault. He thinks he is being nice.
Cory So, if reporters/news medias/late night show hosts are all propaganda, than what's not? Believing Trump's narcissistic behavior isn't propaganda? Believing every far-fetched alternative facts which Trump and his Fox n friends pull from their you know what isn't fabricated propaganda?
Sundincubus No. Trump is not always the source of truth, but sometimes he is. Unfortunately, that's how you have to look at everyone, including Colbert.... who seems to have adopted the Ben Shapiro method, which is to divide the nation and capitalize on it. This is a show, it makes money, it wants views, and Trump jokes are just a way to prey on Liberal proclivity towards political tribalism.
@@CoryBleichner I'd agree. It's a show trying to gained viewers but from a balance stand point, some of the things he said is true. The question is are we gonna keep our heads balanced to all sides views..or are we gonna choose one side and dispute whatever that comes out the other?
I am terrified of planes, every time I get on one I get nauseous and find it hard to breathe. I've still had to go on planes for work and because I wanted to travel to other places and experience them. I do not see why that question is even relevant.
Joy Brautigam, I avoid driving for the reasons you fear driving on the highway, but this does not make me doubt your fear in the slightest. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you are more afraid of it than I am. That would also make you braver than I am. Here's to safe trips.
I sort of feel bad for her to be honest. Maybe I shouldn't. I mean she accepted the job and knew what she was walking into, but still. These Republicans don't seem to care about who they throw under the bus so long as they come out unscathed.
And now they're complaining because their hired female attack dog wasn't vicious enough to discredit Dr. Ford, so she could take all the heat for it and ruin her own career while leaving their hands clean.
Amy Marie Without resorting to any sort of feeling based argument would you be willing to point out the actual evidence she followed with after her testimony and thus proved her credibility?
I have seen so many statements saying that Ford needs to corroborate what happened. Seriously do you expect her to whip out a camcorder and say she videotaped the assault? What kind of evidence do you think she needs to provide? Tell me what she has to gain from lying. If you think she's lying because she's being paid by the Democrats then you better have a paper trail to back that up. So far all she's appeared to gain is death threats and vitriol.
Basically Fords Summary: "I dont know, cant remember, memory fuzzy, tired, not quite sure, dont know, think so, maybe, mmm let me see, dont have date; have to pull up the email, can look it up, not sure, dont understand, guess its possible; dont know, i fly a lot; but i am scared of flying," You think thats credible? SMH, just shows some people are just born stupid.
I couldn't handle it, even though this is so important. My hat's off to them. And it *shouldn't* be this hard. Fuck these haters and trolls. And if anyone who attacks them is a woman, they're traitors to their gender. I can't understand it.
LMAO- And how is that exactly when she CAN'T even say WHEN or WHERE the so called rape happened? LMAO...She's a TOTAL NUT JOB who NEEDS serious mental help
I didn't believe her either, especially after the lie about not being able to fly - a heavy handed and deceptive politically motivated tactic, just to add a delay to the hearings. And that rigged two-question polygraph, what a joke. And why won't she let investigators look at her medical records? I can imagine lots of important facts in there that would immediately torpedo her recollections.
Hyno Designs I welcome your effort to prove her dishonesty. But the dishonesty of Kavanaugh has already been compiled because it was much easier to spot: theintercept.com/2018/09/29/the-unbearable-dishonesty-of-brett-kavanaugh/
I found her incredibly humbling. I wish those walking scrotums on that panel could feel some of that - perhaps they did in their heart of hearts. Because there wasn't an ounce of hatred or bitterness or nastiness in this woman. I wouldn't have been able to be so calm and centered about remembering such events. She is such an amazing woman.
Sweet Pea You seriously need to consider changing your name to maybe: Sour grapes 🍇 1 bad apple 🍏 Tomato worm 🐛 Orange orangutan 🐵 Raunchy radish. Just a suggestion.
She is so calm because she is a LIAR. her amazing story has so goddamn many holes i could drive a tank through it. Its frustrating how stupid everyday leftists are. Its clear that the most credible person in this soap opera has been kavanaugh, but lefists see a wolf and scream that its a sheep.
I'm not a leftist. I'm a woman. And I can reason and I can tell when someone is lying when someone does it as badly as Kavanaugh does. But you keep spinning that idea that anyone that believes Ford is a liberal.
The problem was that she used the excuse of "fear of flying" as the reason she couldn't submit to the committee for an interview. .... www.cnn.com/2018/09/27/politics/christine-blasey-ford-flying-fear-kavanaugh-hearing/index.html
Samantha Bee sums it up best: "Today's hearing reminds us that to really tell a woman's story, one must begin with a 15-minute preamble from an elderly man about why her story is suspicious."
My mother, who has been sexually and physically abused by men in her past, was literally crying today FOR Kavanaugh as he testified. Not for the credible woman she could have related to, but for a man crying and being aggressive and angry out of desperation who just might not get this job 😐. She’s 58, retired, and watches Fox News all day and this is what it does; she doesn’t have the ability to not be partisan and would be taking a different tune only if he was a Democrat. She seriously believes anything they say and shuts down instantly if I want to ever debate the facts, she thinks that Ford was assaulted but not by Kavanaugh and that this is all a giant conspiracy from the Dems (who will lose that seat to a Trump pick regardless of midterms so I don’t see that being plausible ). But regardless of who’s right in this specific matter (because there’s no investigation it’s a he said/she said situation and NONE of us know for a fact), watching Fox News daily has made her a more hateful upset person who struggles with the ability to empathize or make decisions based on fact, not feeling. It’s made it really difficult to bond with her, not that it’s ever been easy, but I’m getting older and trying yet I just wanted to say how Trumpism and Fox News are actually brainwashing our more ignorant and vulnerable citizens.
lj033 Well you could just remove her tv. If she can't have access to the thing brainwashing her then maybe she can be reasoned with. It's sad though she believes anything Fox News tells her.

When you're in your 70s or 80s, are you going to respond well to someone taking away your -- whatever the hell they'll have then -- because "You're not watching good things and I have to reason with you!" However, lj033, I completely know what you're talking about. During the last year of my father's life, my mom watched Fox News -- not all the time, but way too much. This woman had so much to worry about anyway, and these ghouls would come on her TV telling her, "Everything's going to hell because Obama! This will be the end of the country as we know it!" It's not just brainwashing, it's an appeal to fear, which is very riveting, and old people, a lot of times, have a lot to fear anyway. I have hated that channel with a passion ever since.
Did you ever watch the movie The brainwashing of my dad? I think that's the name of it it's actually pretty good. It's a documentary. I think you will relate to it. My parents we're never brainwashed by Fox News but my sister and her family have been.
Shame on you. You are implying your mother is ignorant and unable to make a qualified judgment on any topic because she doesn't 'agree' with your point of view. Wonder if she goes around stating how you have the inability to hold a logical conversation because you don't agree with her. Disgusting.
kandy flint pope Wow, really? Is your head still spinning from the flip you did there? The OP clearly said that their mother only listens to one side of this issue, refuses to debate, and can't even abide when people on her side of political spectrum offer different opinion/empathize with dr. Ford. How did you even get to the point of accusing OP of refusing to debate, or that they have the inability to hold a logical conversation is beyond me.
You hear people say “even if it’s true, it was 35 years ago”. *But he’s lied now, and shown no coolness under pressure...* It’s about character as well as just the touching.
Where is the evidence that he's lied? If anything there's evidence that FORD is lying. All of her witnesses deny her claims and she has no memory of anything. The only thing she's 100% sure of is that it was Kavanaugh. Really? You're 100% sure that a fifteen year old Kavanaugh put his hand over your mouth and fondled you in a bedroom of house party you can't remember, surrounded by people who deny your claim, during a time period you're sketchy about? Well, damn, that's some solid evidence right there. This bitch doesn't even know how she got to the party or who's party it was. She literally remembers NOTHING. Provides NO FACTUAL EVIDENCE. NO CORROBORATION. Yet...Kavanaugh is lying...because you said so. You fucking tool.
@An Than Van Man Tan "his emotional instability" ? Are you being serious right now? He's being accused of rape by someone who can't provide any evidence and has no clear memories. Someone whose witnesses all said they don't know what she's talking about. His reputation is being destroyed by some nutjob and you don't think he has a right to be angry? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Would you be cool under pressure if your name was tarnished in front of the world if the accusations aren't true. I can't imagine what his family is going through.
My question is if he wasn’t rightist anger. He would be a indifferent asshole that doesn’t care about sexual assault. Right? This was a lose lose for him. And the question weren’t did you do this after the first one, it was you where a drunkard and black out drunk, so you did this, your yearbook says you said you partied so you did it! It’s a circle trap duh! I did spit coffee when he said I like beer over And over lol. Booker demanding answers was height of hypocrisy. I’m going to assume your male and if you believe guilty before Proof, then you raped me and as a woman my word and emotions must be 100% believed, I will destroy everything you ever worked towards and your family life just because I said so! Now prove you didn’t. Or shut up. Maybe one day you will see how wrong this is. In closing who the hell leaked dr fords letter?
That's what it looks like when you don't understand that Hilary lost. She did... she lost. Now go and win the next election and pick your own judges. But I'm sure you won't take a single second to consider the failures of Democrats.
So I listend to Dr. Ford, and Brett, and this is what it was like for those that missed it. After the Dr. Ford thing, the GOP senators walked out all depressed, and in deep thought. They came back for Brett. Brett started to totally blow it, so Lindsay Graham just flips out and starts SHAMING everyone ... and then all the other old men got all grumpy, and then Brett started to get real flippant to ANY Dem question, like it didn't matter, and "I LIKE BEER" ... and senators then whipped out a bunch of beer and started drinking, defiantly. Beer was then being thrown around, and a keg appeared. Some women started dancing. A bunch of the senators lifted up Brett on their shoulders and were yelling YES MEANS NO ... and paraded him around the room. It was crazy.
sumbamotor Hahaha. Oh, wow. If you're using the term "demonrats" unironically, then you are clearly a Fox News-head. If there were any "bad theatrics" yesterday, it was absolutely the GOP, especially Brett Kavanaugh himself. He was a joke that could barely keep himself together. Dr Ford spoke clearly and boldly, and she respectfully answered questions from both sides. So much so that when it was over, even Fox News was praising how strong her testimony was. When Kavanaugh hit the stand, he looked beyond nervous, and the way he answered very simple questions just branded guilty all over his face. I'm not judging quite yet, but if I had to choose sides after one day, I'm definitely leaning on Dr Ford's testimony.
What a brilliant comedian. I'm more amazed every time I watch this man do a mockup of this alarmingly incompetent presidential administration. I was quite horrified by Dr. Ford's testimony when I saw her speak this morning, and I wondered how Colbert could pull this off. But he never disappoints. Kudos to him for making light of what's stupid and funny about 45 's douchebag cronies, while still being more than respectful to their victims.
Lindsay Grahm: If this is the new norm, you democrats better watch out for your nominees. See, here's the problem with a threat. You need to provide something worse than what already exists. Lindsay Grahm has already helped to block a supreme court nominee from the democrats and has repeated done so in the past. What's he going to do now that's worse than before? Block them with while doing a triple somersault?
I noted Kavanaugh's head bobbing up and down, as if to be nodding "yes" as he responded, "No!" to questions being asked. Lindsey Graham in his own book, quoted by Senator Blumenthal regarding how much courage it takes for a victim to come forward, testifying against their assailant. (Paraphrasing) Lindsey Graham should be ashamed of himself for his outburst, essentially wiping away Dr. Ford's testimony. Kavanaugh's behavior put it in perspective..Add alcohol and there is that belligerence multiplied. His wife's face was very telling as he spoke of "all the women." After the first break, someone made her sit out of the camera's sight.
That poor woman... She seen it, she seen it all, she knows who he really is. Sadly, she's to weak to fight back, and i understand her, see what they are doing to Ford, the Good Wife would have nowhere to go, not a sympathetic shoulder to lean on, cause, as we saw this week, people in her surroundings are just the fucking "boys will be boys" trash, thinking they are entitled to everything they want, without consequences. That country needs a revoliution. Enough with the zero accountability for the rich 😐
i suspect he was lying about not listening (what's one more lie to a pathological liar?) He missed her calm explanation of the pre-nomination (short list) timing of the initial report of his assault, but homed in on "the worst two weeks of my life" complaint. His wife must have mighty powers of self-deception.
Graham was a fierce critic of Trump, then he went golfing with him. Suddenly he was singing his praises to the rafters. Something happened out there on the links.
And why is that? Because he's striking back at those people who have lied and smeared his character? DON'T be a DUMB ASS! The MAN has an impeccable record, has ALREADY passed 6 FBI background checks and you've got a NUT JOB accuser who said her life was changed by the so called rape, but yet she CAN'T even remember WHEN and WHERE it happened...That's RIDICULOUS! She NEEDS serious mental help and so do you if you think she's legit
We had a counselor at our son's high school who explained to a parent's group that people who start drinking heavily (or doing drugs heavily) in their teens actually stunt their emotional development to that age level. His explanation was that rather than learn how to manage uncomfortable situations, they self-medicate and ignore their problems. Therefore they tend to react under pressure the same way that they would have reacted at about the time they start "drinking their problems away." By the looks of Kavanaugh's testimony, he started drinking heavily when he was about 11 years old.
Bob Baker Lol, yeah, you're not doing Kavanaugh any favors with a comment like that. You sound just as unhinged. He's a judge. He's interviewing for a seat to the highest court in the land. Even if he is innocent, which doesn't seem likely, he's already proven that he doesn't have the proper temperament. He doesn't get to strike back, Trump-style, against his accusers and get the job. You might be okay with that in your president, representatives, and judges, but we hold our public servants to a higher standard.
It doesn't matter they're going to vote him in. He could have jumped on the desk like an orangutan and they would have said he's just like the president. Isn't that special we better vote him in
He didn't lose it, he was fighting for HIS LIFE, his reputation and his family! That was the anger of a righteous man, don't tell me you would lie down like a dead dog if you were in his position and you knew you hadn't committed the crime, judge or no judge he is human and he proved his innocence today, unlike you whacko leftist loony nutjobs that believe someone that has no evidence whatsoever? funny how she can remember something 36 years ago but can't remember something 2 weeks back? COME OFF IT! This evil you leftist nutjobs unleashed is about to backfire on you come November because people are sick and tired of all of your B.S.!
Wouldn't you be mad if fake sexual assault allegations were being thrown at you out of spite from your opposition's continuous inability to win fairly?
Fernando Gonzalez : In this case, they didn't make Bret do anything, If he was an alcoholic & abusive person, he doesn't deserve to be appointed for life. What does he have to hide with an investigation ? (Same thing i hear from cops, If you're innocent, then let us search your car/house)
Cory Then I'd definitely want the FBI to investigate. Cuz she testified under oath after she took a lie detector test. If she's lying then let's expose her (& her backers). Right ?
Don't you think a fed supreme court judge should be held to a higher standard ? - some of the allegations are heinous. I'd want to investigate - Also why is 100,000 pages about judge bret not being released ?
coolhari2000 No... because the purpose of the investigation is to delay this whole process. The goal of proving her as a fake would be just as ignored as proving her as honest. That wasn't the democrats goal.... the goal was to stop Kavenaugh, and they won't.
I have SUPER bad anxiety while flying...but I wanted to go to Hawaii, Chicago, New York, Las Vegas & DC. Sooooo...we all do it because to drive or sail overseas would mean it would take forever!!! That's soooo not a legit question.
She delayed the hearings with a huge lie about her *inability* to fly, and then she flew anyway, just like she always does all over the world. I don't care if she grows feathers and eats birdseed, she lied for political gain. But she is only tool being used unfairly against Judge Kavanaugh, by the political party that betrayed her plea for anonymity. Its dirty.
GirlDevils did either of you watch the testimonials from both of them?? Because she was extremely credible (even according to Fox and Trump😒) and he was a screaming, incoherent wreck. Nice try though.
@@justsayin1991 oh I believe her 1 thousand percent. I was responding to the video clip & Colbert's monologue. BEER BOY BRETT did it & is a DRUNK. his behavior was rude, condescending, angry & egotistical. All additional reasons why he shouldn't be on the SC.
The difference is she tried to avoid going to d.c. for an alleged fear of flying. If shes been all over the world via flying, its "so not legit" to try to avoid flying in the first place
@@clamchowder622 I don't want to fly or take a pill for anxiety... but I do to get there. If u wanna travel u have to suck it up. I do, so I get her & believe her.
I actually thought Rachel Mitchell, the Republican outside council was doing her due diligence, and very courteous towards Christine Blasey Ford. She was very focused on getting to the truth behind the likelihood that a teenage Brett Kavanaugh could have done such a horrendous thing, so much so that the Republicans ended up firing her. Kavanaugh's prolonged silence, when asked whether he'd ask for an FBI investigation on the matter, is all I needed to hear, though.
I think that that last question about the location of the polygraph test is curiousing. Why did they have to do that specifically on her grandma's funeral? Couldn't they push it to another day? (Not that I'm supporting Reps of course.)
@@HudaefCares because it literally doesn't matter when they did it. Not one bit. It's a stupid question designed to make it look like it's a bad thing. It's not.
This was do wrong! They should have kept Mitchell as the interrogator! This was so blatantly one sided! Now the American Bar Association says an FBI investigation is a necessity!
'Kavanaugh's prolonged silence, when asked whether he'd ask for an FBI investigation on the matter, is all I needed to hear, though.' Because you're a biased hack.
PillznarRy If he had nothing to hide than he would have no problem. Are you saying that it is okay to have criminals as practically forever one of the if not most powerful people in the US? I would still have a problem if Kavenaugh were to run for senate but not as much as for Supreme Court judge, because with the senate he could blow his chance with showing he is better and without the immense consequences. You see I think the judicial branch might even be the closest thing to monarchy in our system since they hold immense power and hold position for life or until retirement.
Sadly enough it really won't. Have you seen interviews with woman who are republicans that believe Ms. Ford is lying? It's really sad, it is like those woman live in the 19th century just following along with what men tell them to think.
Also can we talk about how nice it was to see someone actually answer questions? I'm so used to these goons deflecting on EVERYTHING.
It contrasted Kavanaugh's constant dodging well.
Answers like: I don't remember, I don't know.....
I was married to a psychologist. She said as much about memories, but more colloquially - events that are associated with strong feelings or emotions make for the clearest and most enduring memories.
Vanessa P And water is wet. Anymore astonishing insight you'd care to share with us? Everybody knows that emotional events are more likely to be remembered than mundane ones.
Basically Fords Summary: "I dont know, cant remember, memory fuzzy, tired, not quite sure, dont know, think so, maybe, mmm let me see, dont have date; have to pull up the email, can look it up, not sure, dont understand, guess its possible; dont know, i fly a lot; but i am scared of flying,"
Yeah, agree.

Get a life.
Trauma memories are often fragmented and messed up with sensory information improperly encoded. Valenced events are better recalled because we tend to remember them a lot (I.e. call them to mind repeatedly across our lifespan).
yet, she can't remember when or where & never confided in anyone for 30 years.
Smells are my trigger just as laughter is hers . Does this mean every veteran from Vietnam nam with ptsd is lying? Or even the Iraq or Afghanistan vets ? What about my dad that served in ww2 and Korea? All lying . There’s a reason we don’t come forward and this is it .
I remember the exact day my friend was sexually assaulted. I guarantee she will remember that day for the rest of her life. How can someone who was so violated not even remember the day or the details of when it happened?
"How about an FBI investigation", GOLD BABY GOLD
“Attractive, good witness” ?? “In other words, pleasing”??? Jesus freaking Christ the question is: Do you find Dr Ford CREDIBLE. What is up with that random comment on her attractiveness *face palm*
Someone who wasn't mentally deficient would have bullshited that he meant attractive for the Democratic "cause", evidently his intellect and lack of filter were on display.

Me too. Colbert and Meyers are my favorites.
Best late night political coverage!
I stay awake at 12.00 AM for this very reason!!
kimberly s Totally agree with you. Also Trevor Noah actually did a really good job covering this story as well. Stephen’s, Seth’s and Trevor’s humors make days like these a little easier to endure.
Right, we needed some light heartedness after today. At least, i know i did.
One side was calm and forthcoming, another side hid behind his fake outrage to dodge every single yes or no question especially whether he thinks FBI should investigate, if he's really that innocent like he claims to be, why not let FBI clear his name? Also he kept throwing temper tantrums like some spoiled rich brat, that alone should disqualify him immediately, who would want such a person on the Supreme Court?
Exactly!
Y’all are dangerously silly. Maybe she’s lying. Maybe she’s telling the truth. Maybe she’s not lying but not speaking the truth. We do not know. We can’t. That’s what sucks about these situations.
Because innocence is not what should be proven, guilt is. And he replied that he would do anything the Senate wants him to do. If they can't except it she could always file a complaint.
zero judicial temperament. exactly.
also, they need all the votes. i forget where i heard it, but someone suggested that collins/murkowski/flake/etc ...could just as easily deny/delay voting until fbi investigation. that way they won't get run out of town (whether voting for or against confirming kavanaugh); voting tomorrow will be the beginning of the end of their careers.
I wasn't the only one that noted his aggression and clear party bias. It's an emotional time for him true accusations or no, but if he can't control himself and respect democratic congressmen he should not be on the supreme court.
"Shes Pleasing."
If I even stop for more than a moment to think about that comment in all its circumstances and context, my head will explode.
Integrity of the SC gone the same way as the Whitehouse. Great work GOP
Right? Bringing back integrity to the country is one of Trump's biggest wins.. can't wait to see him get a second term so he can finish righting the wrongs that racist Democrats have been trying to enact for hundreds of years..
Education fail. Sad.
The whole world is laughing about Trump, even americans stated to us that they know that this man is a clown. In only 3 years (including the election) you lost more integrity than in the years from Bush to Obama to this clown. The damage done by Trump will need decades to be repaired
"I mean shes pleasing" .... Oh my word! WHAT?!?!?!

magnetothewhite she literally backs up everything she says. Go justify sexual assault somewhere else.
Kavnauagh :"I'm like really really innocent, in fact I'm the single most innocent guy in history, but I will never allow the FBI to investigate about how innocent I truly am, I will never even allow other alleged witnesses to testify. You all should just take my word for it."
Yeah, that checks out.
I loved how Kavanaugh used the word "allow" the FBI to investigate.
Kim Jong Fun
You need to be a comedian, dude.
Your comments make us smile and laugh
Kavanaugh wasn't the one that disallowed the FBI investigation
Why should he fuel this media fire? If she is telling the truth she should file a complaint and let the police investigate. She is no one to be treated special. He is innocent until proven guilty and the burden of proof is on her. He doesn’t need to agree to anything she says.
And who the hell wants an angry and a clearly partisan SC judge ?
If I was accused of a crime that was going to cost me a job of a lifetime. I would definitely want the FBI to investigate and then I would bring charges on every single person who took part in these false accusations. But if I was guilty I would just deny loudly and hold out for the vote.
Exactly this. I don't know why everyone can't see it this way. If you don't want the investigation you have something to hide. If you have something to hide from the FBI you shouldn't be on the Supreme Court. Connect the dots people.
The Senate did an investigation that is more thorough than any FBI investigation can possibly be.. because the senate trumps the FBI in federal power..
An investigation by the FBI would have been fruitless because any information they could have found was already known to the senate through their investigation..
What part of that dont you understand? Our 3 main government bodies hold more power than unelected officials in a 3 letter agency.. and this is by design! The FBI is a puppy when put next to the Pit Bull known as the Senate..
Yeah, I'm sure the Senate is much better that the FBI at investigating criminal cases and gathering evidence for trial. They have so much federal power, after all!
(That was sarcasm.)
zinov3 How have the Senate had time to investigate all these allegations, talk to all the witness's, talk to the people at the parties etc etc etc it takes more time than a week. If someone had accused me of something I hadn't done I would of been straight to a lawyer and filed a civil suit for slander and libel so they have to prove it in court, he is a Judge he should know how the law works.
Even if the FBI did and investigation and It proved he didn't do it. by that time most likely the Dems will control the Senate and he wouldn't get the job anyways. that's why they want the FBI to investigate to stall
Graham is a sham, what about Merrick Garland who you blocked even though he wasn't accused of ANYTHING!
Dianne Feinstein touched my ass. I don't remember where, and it was about 35 or 36 years ago, and the people that were there I told you about denied they were there because they have issues. So you should destroy her career because I said so. "What a sham!"
Bill Smith -lets just investigate. That will clear this up. Either she did or she didn’t. We will be able to tell on your behalf.
Charlie G Fair and square??? Upfront??? You mean because they couldn't find any dirt on Garland. If the GOP had dirt on Garland they would have used it in a heart beat. The GOP leaders aren't exactly glowing examples of ethics or integrity.

A woman with two teen daughters in a MSNBC interview really put GOP base mindset regarding Kavanaugh scandals in a nutshell. In that interview the woman was like "Groping a woman? What's a big deal of that?" Then she said to her own daughters "How many guys you know think that's not a big deal?" And her daughters kept nodding and echoing her opinion. This woman and her daughters will fit right in in the world of "the Handmaid's Tale".
So republican women are self-loathing misogynists, what's new?

Hi Kim :p
Sad but true. But women are enduring a lot, they just need the right rhythm, they are dancers and singers and we need them to dance and sing and dream of good things again. And they will.
Even if the allegations about Kavanaugh are false (which I doubt), he's still clearly demonstrated an instability during these hearings. I don't know about you, but this is not how I expect a supreme court justice to behave.
Tell us how one should act when they are under attack. Family, friends, daily people at the coffee shop, store.
Jim case keep in mind that if he is guilty then he is the one attacking, attacking someone he already tried to rape. And we should hold someone looking to ascend to the highest court to a very high standard. That means they don't get to strike back and attack Trump-style if accused. They must calmly take it in stride. He wouldn't allow such conduct from a defendant in his court, and he must not be allowed to act with such conduct and still receive the job. Stop making excuses.

What a historic, incredible, tragic, heartbreaking day it's been. I watched every hour of the testimony that I was able to, and, just going by what I heard and saw (which is all any of us can do in the absence of an investigation), I have to say I believe Dr. Ford. Kavanaugh certainly didn't help his own case, nor did Graham et al who tried to come to his rescue with a very Trumpian "lets blame it all on the Dems" strategy. But setting all that aside, this is a very credible and sympathetic victim, and she won the day in my eyes. Say no to Kavanaugh.
Graham was just grandstanding since he knew Trump was watching. He wants that Sessions job
what would they investigate? of the 4W's, she doesn't know What,When, or Where. all they can do is ask people questions & report their answers. you'd know this if you really watched
Hmm.. Try saying that again after watching Kevannaugh's opening testimony.. Don't jump to conclusions before watching both sides..
@drip drop Ummm....You only named 3W's , not 4. Why don't we just let the trained investigators investigate huh drip drop? 😊
@ drip drop. Also, the FBI takes the accusation, then looks for evidence. They don't already assume that the evidence has already been collected for them. Let's leave this up to the professionals why don't we?

drpepperman2765 well it shows the republicans didn’t destroy him. The me too movement and his own previous statements and views drove him to resign before any investigation even... I think Al Franken jumped the gun and shouldn’t have resigned... should have let an investigation happen if he wanted, apologized and moved on...
I also don’t get why the hell you would put him and Harvey Weinstein in a point together... one was a horrific media monster who raped and abused women for decades and whom deserves jail... the other a politician who took a picture touching some women’s boobs on top of her vest... the fact that certain groups of people put those two together sickens me.
Or add in what Cosby was just found guilty of... drugging and raping someone... again NOTHING like Al Franken
Honestly how in the hell can these men be the same in your mind... there IS a difference between cases and accusations and I’m sorry if I don’t agree that all men are these terrible monsters just cause lol
Also are you saying that Harvey shouldn’t have been exposed? Or are you saying it was a bad thing he was? Otherwise your first comment just doesn’t make sense lol
Present evidence, corroborating testimony, witnesses... and see... if you guys go down this path further your country may implode.... convicting people based on their politics being against yours with no regard for if there is ANY VALIDITY to a claim.
Something terrible happened to her no doubt and my heart goes out to her but I thinks she’s wrong about who... even her own witnesses say she is wrong...
I live in SC and no way will he get my vote now I was on the fence until now
I. Wannabangō your profile name is kind of rapey... You sure you have nothing to hide there uncle creepy?
John O what’s “insane” about Trump & the GOP? Is it bringing jobs back to America? Is it pulling out of Globalist treaties like TPP & the Paris accord? Is it arresting 4000+ pedophiles & rescuing children? Is it going after traitors like McCabe, McCain, Stzrok & many more? Just wait a lille longer & all your evil heroes including Billary Clinton, Comey, Brennan, Mueller, Loretta Lynch& 100s of others will be on their way to Gitmo.

The liberal left is nothing more than a rebellion and rejection of God, they are the political faction of the antichrist.
No, I have been studying the beast system for 5 years straight after meeting companies working on the mark of the beast. The Lord put this on my heart and basically said the mark is 3 fold, it is also in the mind a persons way of thinking.
My notes:
Today want to preach on the ANTICHRIT doctrine. It is hard for people to see spiritually and who the real enemy is to humanity. We basically preach on this channel the antichrist is already here, cause we see his spirit and we see those who have the markings of Satan in their forehead, the way of thinking.
Abortion
Gay Marriage
Open Boarders
Climate Change
Romans 1 Spells it all out, it is the deception that will fool the entire World
#1 People Reject God and his Knowledge
#2 They serve the Creation or Creature rather than the Creator
#3 They change the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man
#4 They turn the truth of God in to a lie
#5 They turn unrighteousness to righteousness of man (holding truth in unrighteousness)
Woe to those who call Good Evil and Evil Good
We are just looking at 5 of the doctrines we are not looking at we are all one, we are all the same, all religions are equal we are Global Citizens
Pope Francis says to see GOD is all people, Pope Francis is a liar and a deceiver who promotes the antichrist doctrine and the Master plan of the Dragon which is Agenda 2030.
Abortion = Murder
Gay Marriage = Serving the Creature, holding Truth in Unrighteousness = Brings forth the wrath of God
Open Boarders = Build a Tower of Babel = Heaven has Extreme Vetting so should your boarders.
Climate Change = Sin against the Creature, sin offering of Cain, pay a global tax, the World is playing God
Attractive? Pleasing?
This is disgusting.
Pavla Trojanová -- He didn't want to say she was... _'telegenic',_ as was said about the GUILTY Republican witness from roughly thirty years ago about whatshisname... Ollie North.
I can't believe the level of outrage over the most mundane words. He called a woman attractive and pleasing...definition of attractive: "having beneficial qualities or features that induce someone to accept what's being offered." This is why democrats lost to Trump, and why I stopped voting left. If y'all extremists would quit crying wolf over every petty thing in the world than maybe people would listen to your ideas. But honestly, the left is so out of touch with real life that the only way to keep relevance is to over-saturate mainstream media with garbage-ass political shows like john oliver and stephen colbert that base political opinions on cheap-shot jokes and belittling comments that hold no weight when rebutted with facts. I hate Trump and this republican nightmare, but it's still better than a world where calling a woman attractive and pleasing is somehow considered abhorrent or disgusting.
Shawn Bayly It's not wrong to call a woman attractive, but there is a time and place, and this specific incident had neither going for it. If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you.
The women in question was in the middle of a hearing, enduring public testimony with the outmost grace and composure. Even Fox News found her credible, but the first thing out of Mr. Hatch's mouth was a comment about her appearance. It made him seem completely tone deaf, insensitive and out of touch.
She IS attractive, but that wasn't the question he was asked. Stupid of him to say in this context, yes. Disgusting, no.
Indeed,,, poor choice or words....
Can it really be true that these men have been elected as Senators with the responsibility for governing the country. We are watching this from Europe with total incredulity. What has happened to the once great and formidable United States.
Vast numbers of us have been lazy and fooling ourselves. That's what happened.
Rich selfish people took control. We the people are upset and embarrassed by our leaders. Please know the American People are better than the current ridiculous, "entitled" in office, Election Day is on the horizon!
Clinton and Obama happened.
We got complacent and let too much slip out of our (the people's) hands. I am sorry you have to witness this. Trust me when I say, there are so many good American citizens left though. Hopefully, we will regain some semblance of normality within the next 2 years.
Millions of us Americans wonder the same. We are embarrassed & humiliated by the degraded behavior of many of our elected officials. "Draining the Swamp" seems to have dredged up their own slick & slime. Believe it or not, a lot of Americans THINK that Lindsey Grahams "outburst" was some sort of "powerful Historic Speech" - not only was it unsubstantiated conjecture, it was laughable.
This person doesn't have self control and isn't believable. He has an anger issue and didn't answer questions. He"s not right for the supreme court..

I'm terrified of flying. I do it anyway, multiple times a year.
If it helps, there's a much higher chance of us dying by most other means (like in a car crash) than us dying in an airplane crash
Melissa BigMac - Yes, a flying phobia doesn’t make it impossible to fly. It just makes it more or less difficult, depending on the extent of the phobia. There are ways to help cope with it and I would assume for such an event as testifying before Congress - some recovery time would be in order....
Phobias can appear out of the blue, but in the case of flying - there are some reasons to be nervous! Most people don’t think about that because it’s familiar to them, just as most people don’t think about the risks of car travel.
Melissa BigMac me too, it kind of makes her stronger to admit that
I’m agoraphobic but I have to go out to see my therapist.
But are you 'TOO scared to fly'? Obviously not. Stupid statement. Next...

Who knew Arby's had a higher standard than the supreme court.
Who knew that Arby's had a higher standard than Democrats.. at least when someone accuses you at Arby's the leadership investigates and then makes a decision.. the Democrats didn't even help with the senate investigation of these allegations and deemed kavanaugh guilty without any proof.. though, happily the Republicans on the senate investigated the allegations and found kavanaugh to be innocent..
P.S. before you mention an FBI investigation you should know that the Senate has more power than the FBI and can conduct more thorough investigation than the FBI.. so am FBI investigation would have been fruitless..
@@zinov3, you're not very bright
Will the real Kavanaugh stand-up! So much Anger from a man that says I'm innocent! Two faces one man. " I like Beer" repeatedly Kavanaugh kept saying. Was this an actual Hearing? No! Kavanaugh's personality is not fit to be on the Supreme Court.
He attacked Senators who asked basic questions and was belligerent towards female Senators
He was like a whining baby. Biased on ever level and brutally mean-spirited. This is what our Supreme Court is going to allow to sit and represent Americans fairly. He's nothing but a trump operative and it's disgusting and he should not be seated!
Lindsey Graham used the word despicable. Despicable was his actions against Dr. Ford.
If I was slandered nationally, based on something I allegedly did during high school thirty years ago with zero backing evidence, I would be a little angry.
He is being accused of sexual assault. No matter what happened he would be upset. Especially if it is in fact false. His name is being dragged through the mud and his career is at stake. He is right to be upset and angry
He does not have anger issues wtf. He's expressing his frustration because people are slandering his name and he has a false accusations against him so he's trying to defend himself. I would be hella pissed too lol.
Stephen Hancock A little Angry is fine. But Kavanaugh's behavior was despicable.. He is a tainted man! I thought the eyes of Justice was blind. But imagine Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court Justice..When he favors everything Republican. There's no middle road! That's a problem.
He does not have the Temperament to serve on our highest Court.
@@sunshine9717 he was extremely more calm than I'd expect someone to be. Hes clearly frustrated and is just wanting this entire thing to be over with so his family can rest even though no matter what he will be attacked as an abuser for the rest of his life regardless of truth

@Sir Alfred Lawrence and Republicans get there's from Fox News....
At least late night comedians have professional writers and journalists to write their show, whereas Fox News polishes Trump's balls for 24 hours straight.
The way Kavanaugh attacked, cried, then asked the Female senator if she blacks when she drinks cause hes just curious makes me think he was drinking all morning
You didn't hear the sniffing and the over the top rage? That's not booze.
ya the man has faced death threats on his family, painful dialogue with his children and international slander from unsubstantiated claims all for the sake of Democrats political gain. Ya I can't imagine for a second why he would be mad.
+BigG99 And how do you think Blasey-Ford is currently being treated by you manly freedom fighters? I bet Kavanaugh hasn't received any rape threats....
@@SomeRandomNameOnline she's getting death threats too. She can't live in her house with her family for fear of getting attacked. She sometimes can't even stay with her family. Difference is he would've gotten attention regardless. He is going for one of the most powerful seats in the country and shee didn't want to be in the spotlight but felt it was her duty to America. She has it worse.
This will be another case where a smart prepared woman will be bypassed for a party boy in a 50+ year old body.

But she also told lies
You’re just not Arby’s material, try the Supreme Court...
Melissa Hancock 😂
Schumer's team wrote the letter, and coached this witness. It was a con job. A Hail Mary desperate stun to stop the appointment a Trump pick.
I'm still asking the question; if he's innocent and an investigation will clear his name why wouldn't you want that? why would you fire the prosecutor you hired to do the inquiry? Perhaps deep down they believe he did it?
Because an FBI investigation will go on, and on, and on. Past the midterms, and even further if it needs to, to block his confirmation. That is why. He has already had 6 full FBI background checks. What would they find? Time. That is all, and that is all the Dems want/need.
Antonis First, background checks are not investigations. I know, I used to be an investigator. I cleared three men in my career under similar circumstances. What is he so afraid of? I know why you are. You believe he's guilty and you don't give a fuck. At least be man enough to admit it.
Maybe he believes that the FBI is bias and it's going to find him guilty no matter what
No evidence No witnesses corroborates her story. Instead they deny any knowledge of that. Holded the accusation till last minute.
And You want this to be credible.?????
Alberto Merchan Stop lying. There may not be corroborating eyewitnesses, but there are multiple people whom she informed over the years about Kavanaugh trying to rape her. They're witnesses, and they corroborate her story. Why don't you believe women?
Why would you refuse an FBI investgation if you're innocent?
Well because your guilty, desperate to get a job before November, or you have something else to hide.
Maybe he believes that the FBI is bias and that they will find him guilty no matter what
Perhaps he thinks the democrats are using it as a stall tactic. Duh!
@@jerrylee5463 Of course the Dems are using it as a stalling tactic. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be investigated.
It's a stalling tactic by the demorats.If she truly believes she assaulted by him she needs to report it to the police but she won't why?Cuz if she is caught lying she will be jailed for lying under oath
Thank you Stephen, it was a long day. I fear that party bullying will swing their vote. Dr Ford was honest, genuine and a very credible witness, bless her

The whole comment about "pleasing" and attractive just shows the thought process is towards women. GOP want women to be pretty and smiling at them and not being equal peers.
i thought it was relevant. can't trust the testimony of an unattractive woman is what my pappy taught me
I found that remark especially telling. He's talking about Dr. Ford as though hearing her testimony about sexual assault made him want to date her. He's also reduced a question about the credibility of her testimony to his opinion of how she looked while giving that testimony. It is a supremely creepy comment no matter how you break it down.
It is his lack of understanding about how that can be perceived that is the most disturbing. He is so out of touch with reality that that is the best he can say about a woman who has just testified about sexual assault. He thinks he is being nice.
Of course we don't want women to be treated equally to men. Then we'd have to levy a bunch of false accusations against a bunch of innocent women.
Yep.. and always consenting towards their advances

Sundincubus No. Trump is not always the source of truth, but sometimes he is. Unfortunately, that's how you have to look at everyone, including Colbert.... who seems to have adopted the Ben Shapiro method, which is to divide the nation and capitalize on it. This is a show, it makes money, it wants views, and Trump jokes are just a way to prey on Liberal proclivity towards political tribalism.
@@CoryBleichner I'd agree. It's a show trying to gained viewers but from a balance stand point, some of the things he said is true. The question is are we gonna keep our heads balanced to all sides views..or are we gonna choose one side and dispute whatever that comes out the other?

And now they're complaining because their hired female attack dog wasn't vicious enough to discredit Dr. Ford, so she could take all the heat for it and ruin her own career while leaving their hands clean.
Dr. Ford was totally credible💜💖💚
Amy Marie Without resorting to any sort of feeling based argument would you be willing to point out the actual evidence she followed with after her testimony and thus proved her credibility?
I have seen so many statements saying that Ford needs to corroborate what happened. Seriously do you expect her to whip out a camcorder and say she videotaped the assault? What kind of evidence do you think she needs to provide? Tell me what she has to gain from lying. If you think she's lying because she's being paid by the Democrats then you better have a paper trail to back that up. So far all she's appeared to gain is death threats and vitriol.

I didn't believe her either, especially after the lie about not being able to fly - a heavy handed and deceptive politically motivated tactic, just to add a delay to the hearings. And that rigged two-question polygraph, what a joke. And why won't she let investigators look at her medical records? I can imagine lots of important facts in there that would immediately torpedo her recollections.

I welcome your effort to prove her dishonesty. But the dishonesty of Kavanaugh has already been compiled because it was much easier to spot: theintercept.com/2018/09/29/the-unbearable-dishonesty-of-brett-kavanaugh/
I found her incredibly humbling. I wish those walking scrotums on that panel could feel some of that - perhaps they did in their heart of hearts.

I'm not a leftist. I'm a woman. And I can reason and I can tell when someone is lying when someone does it as badly as Kavanaugh does. But you keep spinning that idea that anyone that believes Ford is a liberal.

7:05 I literally started laughing at Hatch's response "Oh"... I was expecting him to say "Did I say that out loud?" What a buffoon!
My mother, who has been sexually and physically abused by men in her past, was literally crying today FOR Kavanaugh as he testified. Not for the credible woman she could have related to, but for a man crying and being aggressive and angry out of desperation who just might not get this job 😐.
She’s 58, retired, and watches Fox News all day and this is what it does; she doesn’t have the ability to not be partisan and would be taking a different tune only if he was a Democrat. She seriously believes anything they say and shuts down instantly if I want to ever debate the facts, she thinks that Ford was assaulted but not by Kavanaugh and that this is all a giant conspiracy from the Dems (who will lose that seat to a Trump pick regardless of midterms so I don’t see that being plausible ). But regardless of who’s right in this specific matter (because there’s no investigation it’s a he said/she said situation and NONE of us know for a fact), watching Fox News daily has made her a more hateful upset person who struggles with the ability to empathize or make decisions based on fact, not feeling. It’s made it really difficult to bond with her, not that it’s ever been easy, but I’m getting older and trying yet I just wanted to say how Trumpism and Fox News are actually brainwashing our more ignorant and vulnerable citizens.
lj033 Well you could just remove her tv. If she can't have access to the thing brainwashing her then maybe she can be reasoned with. It's sad though she believes anything Fox News tells her.
Celldweller Fangirl -- You didn't just suggest taking away the property of an adult, did you? When you're in your 70s or 80s, are you going to respond well to someone taking away your -- whatever the hell they'll have then -- because "You're not watching good things and I have to reason with you!" However, lj033, I completely know what you're talking about. During the last year of my father's life, my mom watched Fox News -- not all the time, but way too much. This woman had so much to worry about anyway, and these ghouls would come on her TV telling her, "Everything's going to hell because Obama! This will be the end of the country as we know it!" It's not just brainwashing, it's an appeal to fear, which is very riveting, and old people, a lot of times, have a lot to fear anyway. I have hated that channel with a passion ever since.
Did you ever watch the movie The brainwashing of my dad? I think that's the name of it it's actually pretty good. It's a documentary. I think you will relate to it. My parents we're never brainwashed by Fox News but my sister and her family have been.
Shame on you. You are implying your mother is ignorant and unable to make a qualified judgment on any topic because she doesn't 'agree' with your point of view. Wonder if she goes around stating how you have the inability to hold a logical conversation because you don't agree with her. Disgusting.
kandy flint pope Wow, really? Is your head still spinning from the flip you did there? The OP clearly said that their mother only listens to one side of this issue, refuses to debate, and can't even abide when people on her side of political spectrum offer different opinion/empathize with dr. Ford. How did you even get to the point of accusing OP of refusing to debate, or that they have the inability to hold a logical conversation is beyond me.
You hear people say “even if it’s true, it was 35 years ago”. *But he’s lied now, and shown no coolness under pressure...* It’s about character as well as just the touching.
Where is the evidence that he's lied? If anything there's evidence that FORD is lying. All of her witnesses deny her claims and she has no memory of anything. The only thing she's 100% sure of is that it was Kavanaugh. Really? You're 100% sure that a fifteen year old Kavanaugh put his hand over your mouth and fondled you in a bedroom of house party you can't remember, surrounded by people who deny your claim, during a time period you're sketchy about? Well, damn, that's some solid evidence right there. This bitch doesn't even know how she got to the party or who's party it was. She literally remembers NOTHING. Provides NO FACTUAL EVIDENCE. NO CORROBORATION. Yet...Kavanaugh is lying...because you said so. You fucking tool.
In my opinion that’s the real kicker. I think his emotional instability shows that he probably hasn’t changed as much as we might hope.
@An Than Van Man Tan "his emotional instability" ? Are you being serious right now? He's being accused of rape by someone who can't provide any evidence and has no clear memories. Someone whose witnesses all said they don't know what she's talking about. His reputation is being destroyed by some nutjob and you don't think he has a right to be angry? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Would you be cool under pressure if your name was tarnished in front of the world if the accusations aren't true. I can't imagine what his family is going through.
My question is if he wasn’t rightist anger. He would be a indifferent asshole that doesn’t care about sexual assault. Right?
This was a lose lose for him.
And the question weren’t did you do this after the first one, it was you where a drunkard and black out drunk, so you did this, your yearbook says you said you partied so you did it!
It’s a circle trap duh!
I did spit coffee when he said I like beer over
And over lol.
Booker demanding answers was height of hypocrisy.
I’m going to assume your male and if you believe guilty before
Proof, then you raped me and as a woman my word and emotions must be 100% believed, I will destroy everything you ever worked towards and your family life just because I said so!
Now prove you didn’t. Or shut up.
Maybe one day you will see how wrong this is.
In closing who the hell leaked dr fords letter?
Kavana's sense of entitlement was a Special Kind of Something
That's what it looks like when you don't understand that Hilary lost. She did... she lost. Now go and win the next election and pick your own judges. But I'm sure you won't take a single second to consider the failures of Democrats.
So I listend to Dr. Ford, and Brett, and this is what it was like for those that missed it. After the Dr. Ford thing, the GOP senators walked out all depressed, and in deep thought. They came back for Brett. Brett started to totally blow it, so Lindsay Graham just flips out and starts SHAMING everyone ... and then all the other old men got all grumpy, and then Brett started to get real flippant to ANY Dem question, like it didn't matter, and "I LIKE BEER" ... and senators then whipped out a bunch of beer and started drinking, defiantly. Beer was then being thrown around, and a keg appeared. Some women started dancing. A bunch of the senators lifted up Brett on their shoulders and were yelling YES MEANS NO ... and paraded him around the room. It was crazy.
Close enough.
That's not how I saw it...
sumbamotor Hahaha. Oh, wow. If you're using the term "demonrats" unironically, then you are clearly a Fox News-head.
If there were any "bad theatrics" yesterday, it was absolutely the GOP, especially Brett Kavanaugh himself. He was a joke that could barely keep himself together. Dr Ford spoke clearly and boldly, and she respectfully answered questions from both sides. So much so that when it was over, even Fox News was praising how strong her testimony was.
When Kavanaugh hit the stand, he looked beyond nervous, and the way he answered very simple questions just branded guilty all over his face.
I'm not judging quite yet, but if I had to choose sides after one day, I'm definitely leaning on Dr Ford's testimony.
Lmao thank you morpher44 for not takin it so seriousely. Everyone has the dumbest argument.
morpher44 pretty much sums it up
This is the best and most important monologue Stephen has ever done.
the hole nation should pitch in and get Dr. Ford a buncha roses..... and a letter of apology. she is a credible and good Patriot....
What a brilliant comedian. I'm more amazed every time I watch this man do a mockup of this alarmingly incompetent presidential administration. I was quite horrified by Dr. Ford's testimony when I saw her speak this morning, and I wondered how Colbert could pull this off. But he never disappoints. Kudos to him for making light of what's stupid and funny about 45 's douchebag cronies, while still being more than respectful to their victims.
Dr. Blasey Ford*
Hes not a comedian
Ike De Winter k. He's just accidentally funny ~
Xena Be is he ?
Ike De Winter Yes he is.
Lindsay Grahm: If this is the new norm, you democrats better watch out for your nominees.
See, here's the problem with a threat. You need to provide something worse than what already exists. Lindsay Grahm has already helped to block a supreme court nominee from the democrats and has repeated done so in the past. What's he going to do now that's worse than before? Block them with while doing a triple somersault?
sleepingkirby - once McCain got ill, Lindsay started to look around for another charismatic leader.. he found an Orange Oaf instead
sleepingkirby -- Idunno... Make up $#!+ to get Democrat Senators arrested, sent to Guantanamo for treason...?
@@rossgeography absolutely true. Linseymimsey obviously got his moral fibre from his better friend McCain. He should be ashamed of that outburst.
Ross Geography Not sure what you said had anything to do with denying supreme court nominees.
redxsage Oh, you mean the Stalin approach. They have a little more to do before they can do that, I think.
I noted Kavanaugh's head bobbing up and down, as if to be nodding "yes" as he responded, "No!" to questions being asked. Lindsey Graham in his own book, quoted by Senator Blumenthal regarding how much courage it takes for a victim to come forward, testifying against their assailant. (Paraphrasing) Lindsey Graham should be ashamed of himself for his outburst, essentially wiping away Dr. Ford's testimony.
Kavanaugh's behavior put it in perspective..Add alcohol and there is that belligerence multiplied. His wife's face was very telling as he spoke of "all the women." After the first break, someone made her sit out of the camera's sight.
Quirky Quipster yo I was looking at the disappointment depression and disgust on her face. I could tell she knew he was lying.
That poor woman... She seen it, she seen it all, she knows who he really is. Sadly, she's to weak to fight back, and i understand her, see what they are doing to Ford, the Good Wife would have nowhere to go, not a sympathetic shoulder to lean on, cause, as we saw this week, people in her surroundings are just the fucking "boys will be boys" trash, thinking they are entitled to everything they want, without consequences.
That country needs a revoliution. Enough with the zero accountability for the rich 😐
Honest to my gods, love ya's Stephen!
Stephen is definitely the best late night host
propaganda*
Don't get me wrong, he's definitely part of the establishment/liberal elite, but that doesn't mean he's not funny. #Bernie2020
sarmad mikha
No. He's literally just propaganda. He used to be funny, but now he has become the caricature he once tried to avoid becoming.
Worst statement ever made in the history of the universe!
Brett Kavanaugh said during the hearing that he didn't watch Dr. Ford's testimony this morning. I hope his wife did.
Might be time to start looking for a divorce attorney.
I was hoping the same thing. I hope she watched/watches every minute of it.
i suspect he was lying about not listening (what's one more lie to a pathological liar?) He missed her calm explanation of the pre-nomination (short list) timing of the initial report of his assault, but homed in on "the worst two weeks of my life" complaint.
His wife must have mighty powers of self-deception.
She is a good actor, wouldnt expect anything less from a Dr in psychology though.
Suzy Siviter Doctors in psychology are good actors? Interesting. Where did you get this information from?
I watched it live, I am sorry for you America
Yep never thought Hollywood would be running politics. So now all you gotta do is claim sexual assault and you can get anyone fired.
Yes, I am sorry for us, too. What a crock of s-t. I weep for this country.
Mr Colbert gets more hilarious everyday. I nearly peed myself this episode.
The nightmare of an evil mind is an educated woman
Dread Ras what about the nightmare of evil educated women
Lindsey Graham acts almost as if he's being threatened with blackmail or something.
Graham was a fierce critic of Trump, then he went golfing with him. Suddenly he was singing his praises to the rafters. Something happened out there on the links.
@@ericreese7792 yes it did. It's disgusting.
oh, nothing _happened_ out there. they merely shook hands on making things happen out here
Kavanaugh came across as an entitled,frat Boy..... yes Boy
oooooo way to put that boy in his place.
And why is that? Because he's striking back at those people who have lied and smeared his character? DON'T be a DUMB ASS! The MAN has an impeccable record, has ALREADY passed 6 FBI background checks and you've got a NUT JOB accuser who said her life was changed by the so called rape, but yet she CAN'T even remember WHEN and WHERE it happened...That's RIDICULOUS! She NEEDS serious mental help and so do you if you think she's legit
We had a counselor at our son's high school who explained to a parent's group that people who start drinking heavily (or doing drugs heavily) in their teens actually stunt their emotional development to that age level. His explanation was that rather than learn how to manage uncomfortable situations, they self-medicate and ignore their problems. Therefore they tend to react under pressure the same way that they would have reacted at about the time they start "drinking their problems away."
By the looks of Kavanaugh's testimony, he started drinking heavily when he was about 11 years old.
Bob Baker Lol, yeah, you're not doing Kavanaugh any favors with a comment like that. You sound just as unhinged. He's a judge. He's interviewing for a seat to the highest court in the land. Even if he is innocent, which doesn't seem likely, he's already proven that he doesn't have the proper temperament. He doesn't get to strike back, Trump-style, against his accusers and get the job. You might be okay with that in your president, representatives, and judges, but we hold our public servants to a higher standard.
Yes, but Ford came across as highly partisan Dem supporter, lying for the cause.
Best. Randy. Rainbow. Video. EVER!
Kavanaugh clearly lost it. He doesn't have the temperament to be a Supreme Court Judge. He shouldn't be a judge at all.
It doesn't matter they're going to vote him in. He could have jumped on the desk like an orangutan and they would have said he's just like the president. Isn't that special we better vote him in
He didn't lose it, he was fighting for HIS LIFE, his reputation and his family! That was the anger of a righteous man, don't tell me you would lie down like a dead dog if you were in his position and you knew you hadn't committed the crime, judge or no judge he is human and he proved his innocence today, unlike you whacko leftist loony nutjobs that believe someone that has no evidence whatsoever? funny how she can remember something 36 years ago but can't remember something 2 weeks back? COME OFF IT! This evil you leftist nutjobs unleashed is about to backfire on you come November because people are sick and tired of all of your B.S.!
terry walker Or maybe he's just pissed off his shit is coming back to bite him in the ass
having an emotional reaction passes for _proof_ in what country?
Supreme (think about that word) Court
Dear Senator Lindsey Graham: is the name Merrick Garland familiar to you, you bought out political hack?
sfshinz But Judge Garland's name has not been disgraced by accusations of sexual assualt.
sfshinz ... LG is an ass.
g0679 He's not great but he's hardly as bad as Mitch, Ryan, or Donald.
@@robertgaudet7407 or that weasel Corey Booker.
Robert Gaudet:
that bar is so low, it's lying somewhere deep underground and can see Australia when it looks down. ^^
Now that's "Built Ford Tough"
Ford's used to be tough... besides... Dr Ballsey is a part of the pound me too movement.
Your impression of Lindsey Graham had me crying thanks I needed that laugh your whole set was funny as hell👏👏👏👏👏
Those Republicans, remember their names and faces, make sure to vote them all out of office and never return.
Voting them out? I'm voting for them!
Doesn't happen to them? Al Franken says hi
Somehow the rep senators were yelling & stomping around blaming the dems for destroying bret's rightful & much entitled spot.
Wouldn't you be mad if fake sexual assault allegations were being thrown at you out of spite from your opposition's continuous inability to win fairly?
Fernando Gonzalez : In this case, they didn't make Bret do anything, If he was an alcoholic & abusive person, he doesn't deserve to be appointed for life. What does he have to hide with an investigation ?
(Same thing i hear from cops, If you're innocent, then let us search your car/house)
Cory Then I'd definitely want the FBI to investigate. Cuz she testified under oath after she took a lie detector test. If she's lying then let's expose her (& her backers). Right ?
Don't you think a fed supreme court judge should be held to a higher standard ?
- some of the allegations are heinous. I'd want to investigate - Also why is 100,000 pages about judge bret not being released ?
coolhari2000 No... because the purpose of the investigation is to delay this whole process. The goal of proving her as a fake would be just as ignored as proving her as honest. That wasn't the democrats goal.... the goal was to stop Kavenaugh, and they won't.
At least 39k people were fooled.
I remember a childhood story about the boy that cried wolf. Cant believe anyone anymore.
Really, Senator Hatch? Really?
I have SUPER bad anxiety while flying...but I wanted to go to Hawaii, Chicago, New York, Las Vegas & DC. Sooooo...we all do it because to drive or sail overseas would mean it would take forever!!! That's soooo not a legit question.
She delayed the hearings with a huge lie about her *inability* to fly, and then she flew anyway, just like she always does all over the world. I don't care if she grows feathers and eats birdseed, she lied for political gain. But she is only tool being used unfairly against Judge Kavanaugh, by the political party that betrayed her plea for anonymity. Its dirty.
GirlDevils did either of you watch the testimonials from both of them?? Because she was extremely credible (even according to Fox and Trump😒) and he was a screaming, incoherent wreck. Nice try though.
@@justsayin1991 oh I believe her 1 thousand percent. I was responding to the video clip & Colbert's monologue. BEER BOY BRETT did it & is a DRUNK. his behavior was rude, condescending, angry & egotistical. All additional reasons why he shouldn't be on the SC.
The difference is she tried to avoid going to d.c. for an alleged fear of flying. If shes been all over the world via flying, its "so not legit" to try to avoid flying in the first place
@@clamchowder622 I don't want to fly or take a pill for anxiety... but I do to get there. If u wanna travel u have to suck it up. I do, so I get her & believe her.
I actually thought Rachel Mitchell, the Republican outside council was doing her due diligence, and very courteous towards Christine Blasey Ford. She was very focused on getting to the truth behind the likelihood that a teenage Brett Kavanaugh could have done such a horrendous thing, so much so that the Republicans ended up firing her. Kavanaugh's prolonged silence, when asked whether he'd ask for an FBI investigation on the matter, is all I needed to hear, though.
I think that that last question about the location of the polygraph test is curiousing. Why did they have to do that specifically on her grandma's funeral? Couldn't they push it to another day? (Not that I'm supporting Reps of course.)
@@HudaefCares because it literally doesn't matter when they did it. Not one bit. It's a stupid question designed to make it look like it's a bad thing. It's not.
This was do wrong! They should have kept Mitchell as the interrogator! This was so blatantly one sided! Now the American Bar Association says an FBI investigation is a necessity!
'Kavanaugh's prolonged silence, when asked whether he'd ask for an FBI investigation on the matter, is all I needed to hear, though.'
Because you're a biased hack.
PillznarRy If he had nothing to hide than he would have no problem. Are you saying that it is okay to have criminals as practically forever one of the if not most powerful people in the US? I would still have a problem if Kavenaugh were to run for senate but not as much as for Supreme Court judge, because with the senate he could blow his chance with showing he is better and without the immense consequences. You see I think the judicial branch might even be the closest thing to monarchy in our system since they hold immense power and hold position for life or until retirement.
"Look, how come none of you told me it was possible to speak without embarrassing myself?" LOL
We ....BELIEVE!!! HER!!! TOTALLY!!!.....NOW!😢💔😢👏👏👏
Why?
Take a friend and VOTE BLUE in November! It's never been more important. VOTE!
You incorrectly spelt "red".
Nope red is spelt democrat and blue is spelt...democrat
I'm already on it, I have 20 going with me!!!! Hope others will do the same!!!!
Clifton Fameree Red is the color of communism so i dont see why anyone would be voting red unless they are in for putins slave nation.
No thanks
This is only going to get more women to vote gop out
The GOP have been in power for 35 year and the republicans 16 the American people have suffered long enough its time for change give change a chance
You're too optimistic.
Oh honey.....
Josh Robinson My sentiments, perfectly.
Sadly enough it really won't. Have you seen interviews with woman who are republicans that believe Ms. Ford is lying? It's really sad, it is like those woman live in the 19th century just following along with what men tell them to think.
AWESOME commentary Stephen Colbert 😂🤣😂👍🏽!!!!
