      I've been out. Are the Republicans really mounting an "All white boys look the same" defense of their SCOTUS nominee? Really?

      Since we all agree Kavanaugh was behind the "All white boys look the same defense," can we agree he knew he was happily using stolen emails in 2002-3?

      I feel like I should get an award for having Ed Whelan block me for calling out his hackery before it really started *in earnest.*

      Though look at it this way: This has been, by far, the GOP's most successful coordinated issue. It's just like they're coordinating the incompetence to make it more so.

          I love it because it shows that the Dr. Frankenstein GOP didn't just create a monster, they are the monster as well. People need to realize it's not just Trump. It's the entire republican party that is diseased.

          The fact that they're not picking a single explanation, but coordinating to systematically try out every every possible one before the next hearing seems especially damning.

          Good lord! This is too perfect. The guy they slimed as the real culprit is one of the alums who signed a letter to the senate attesting to Kavanaugh’s character! https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-07-09%20155%20Georgetown%20Prep%20Classmates%20to%20McConnell,%20Schumer,%20Grassley,%20Feinstein%20-%20Kavanaugh%20Nomination.pdf … thx @DoremusJ pic.twitter.com/Yw6Av8URYn

          They're making a stellar case for why the FBI should get involved. Surely they can get to the bottom of this.

          What if Chris Garrett has agreed to claim "it was me, but it was just consensual making out". He said. She said. No charges filed. Republicans cover story can hang together with Garrett's cooperation.
