I stopped watching at around 11:40. Not at home right now. Any new notable developments?

not really. just got back from a break. but it's basically dems spending their time grandstanding and Mitchell asking actual questions

Kamala Harris grandstanding time

Any updates on the hearing? Anything interesting happen?

no big surprise moments or anything

So quite boring with nothing notable

Whew such a surprise

so does Kavanaugh speak in 20 minutes?

Anyways, Clarence Thomas lost 3 votes due to Anita Hill.

However, they were all from Democrats. Not one Republican abandoned him, and we had Republicans representing much more liberal states back then.

The outcome of this is entirely decided on how well Kavanaugh manages his testimony.

re-posting this from another server:

I was rolling my eyes at the umpteenth Democrat wasting time hagiographing Ford, and I realized that the Republicans have made a critical strategic error
the average viewer is too stupid to understand cross-examination
they see someone asking dry questions that they don't see the importance of, and it makes less of an impact than the political grandstanding of self-important losers who want everyone to look past how they are politicizing a sexual assault accusation

hopefully there is enough time until November that normal people (i.e. not Dem hacks) move on and care about something else

Kavanaugh is about to speak

this is the make or break moment

wow, he got choked up for a second there

dang

I'm watching this my girlfriend right now, and she started crying

This is a powerful statement

I'm going to pull it up and watch in a sec

He needed something on par with the sort of statement Thomas gave

and I think this did it

holy crap

only watched for like 45 seconds

he's dang good

he's really good

He's crushing this

yeah, he's going through and specifically refuting her proposed timeline

Yeah

I think he has it at this point

His emotions tho

He's getting confirmed

I liked how he was getting emotional when talking about his dad

you can really tell he loved his old man

Yeah

link?

sorry, I've been out

Go back about 20 minutes

I teared up a bit when he talked about his girls wanting to pray for Ford and when he talked about his dad

those were great

humanizing the accused is a great defense tactic
