      Kavanaugh's testimony: twilight zone twilight zone twilight zone twilight zone twilight zone. 5 times in that one interview. Why does he think that's effective? Especially for events he was allegedly blackout drunk at?

          As a Nats season ticket holder, maybe the beer seller(s) in his section might know about his public drinking.

          This whole thing is giving me PTSD. I deal with the public and to hear men I had some respect for preach more about poor Kavanaugh I'm gonna hurl. That's why we don't report! Because you men don't think you are doing wrong

          That’s what’s at the heart of this, in many ways. Good ol’ boys don’t want to see that any real harm comes from the “boys will be boys” mindset. They’d much rather pretend pretend pretend that all is well with it, so as to perpetuate it + have no loss of power. #Patriarchy

          @TonyJWriter: I'm going to be THAT NERD and say that, in most of Rod Serling's "Twilight Zone" scripts, some person spends most of the episode trying to deny or escape their misdeeds, only to get comeuppance in some weird karmic way.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1044990469799915520 …

          I hope the twilight zone reboot does an episode or at least a sketch lampooning the shit out of this.

          He does have an inflated idea of his self-importance. Kavanaugh is a political cockroach. His name didn't appear in most MSM until his appointment to the DC Circuit in 2006. He didn't come to the attention of the general public until being shortlisted for the Supreme Court.

          At a bare minimum, his testimony is really revealing at how after an expensive prep school education followed by 2 degrees at Yale, he has a remarkably poor handle on the English language and ability to articulate his POV.

          Oh, you are right! I figured he was doing the DJT repeat something 100 times & think you are impressing those words in the minds of others.

          Kavanaugh is laying groundwork to suggest tommorrow that he could have drank too much, but, if so, doesn't recall doing so. He'll go out of his way to gaslight that.
