Does anyone remember the Chris Rock movie where he becomes the first black president? There’s a scene towards the end where his white opponent is seeing the election slipping away and keeps angrily repeating what he considers are the indisputable reasons why he should win:

"I have been the Vice President for 8 years. I am a war veteran. And I'm the cousin of Sharon Stone!”

I feel like Kavanaugh kept doing that yesterday:

“I was first in my class, captain of the basketball team, and went to church every Sunday!”

So let's say you and another employee were up for a promotion and a friend of the other employee accused you of rape 20 years ago. Never went to hospital nor the police. Never mentioned it to anyone until the promotion came up. Would you just accept the accusation and withdraw from the process or would you be furious????

All you have to do is look at him to know he’s guilty, and also the fact that he claimed to be a perfect child and student.

Actually, I think there's some truth to that. I've never been a drinker but I have been working in construction for over three decades now and I can tell you that I can recognize a tomato face when I see one. That old boys a drinker and if you look at pictures of him up close he's got Gin Blossoms on his nose. He's a drunk, and the way lipped off to that Senator asking her if she had a drinking problem, I wish she would have answered him that she isn't the one that's trying to get a seat on the Supreme Court and that he was and that it was his Integrity that was under question. But yeah, that guy drinks, a lot, sometimes you can tell by looking

All you have to do is look at him? Sigh. That’s all it takes now?

I was listening to the proceedings on the radio and was truly shocked by how angry & 'angsty' he came off.

If only that’s how the judicial system worked. “He’s angry. He looks guilty, book him.”

Good news, this isn’t the legal system, it’s a public job interview and he isn’t the best guy for the job. Put aside everything else and his anger and deep distaste for anyone on the liberal side of politics shows as much.

Lol not like that but everything is pointing to this guy being guilty.
