      Cornyn: I can't think of a more scandalous moment since the McCarthy hearings. Again, this witness is the guy who asked a President whether he ejaculated into Monica's mouth.

      Cornyn: This is not a job interview. You've been accused of a crime. To vote against your nomination, we would have to decide you're a serial liar. Um--he was a serial liar before the first allegation.

      NOTE: The break was clearly used to fire Mitchell. Republicans realized their witness could not withstand questions from a prosecutor, like Ford could.

      Yup. Something going on. Kav needs another lifeline call. So: 1) GOP decided he couldn't withstand questions by a prosecutor. 2) He has needed two lifelines already.

          Remember: Kavanaugh believes that lying about non-vaginal sex is an impeachable offense.

          Because he was being backed into claiming he's never gotten drunk to the point of not remembering, and one of the emails already provided to the committee has him dead to rights on that being a lie:https://twitter.com/AmandaMarcotte/status/1045398322515783681 …

          I'd say boofing was the most obvious. Foof is a fart. Boof is a buttfucking. Nobody I know ever conflated the two.
