Senate Republicans held a number of interviews this with two men who supposedly came forward and admitted they may be the 2 men involved in the assault on Dr Ford

Seemingly accuser # 3 sued a former employer years ago......any guess who her attorney was......attorney for Dr Ford, accuser #1

(Just 2 of the latest pieces of (unverified) breaking news)

In what world do random attempted rapists see somebody in the public eye getting set up for their crime and come forward to admit to their guilt?

In the Republican la la make believe world, that's where.

It looks like a Scooby Do episode. "We would have gotten away with it if it wasn't  for you pesky bitches" . The GOP is desperate to confirm Kavanaugh and secure the Court for the fundis for 2 generations

And one would hope that the GOP is handing these men and their belatedly-guilty consciences (or maybe the guilt/empathy, a la Trump, only extends to Kavanaugh?) over to the police?

Will there be an FBI investigation NOW?

GOP Quietly Sends Bill To Gut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid By $2 Trillion (link: http://washingtonsources.org/gop-quietly-sends-bill-to-gut-social-security-medicare-medicaid-by-2-trillion/) washingtonsources.org/gop-quietly-se... via @groopspeak

This is "an issue that is very important to Republicans and their families".

All that money is much better off in the hands of the rich.

Trump is like a reverse Robin Hood.

There are evil twins everywhere, well, I guess that means they're not twins but something else - my vocabulary in this regard only goes up to "octuplets".

I just know there are a hell of a lot of men out there who look exactly like Brett Kavanaugh, and it was one of them who attempted to rape Christine Blasey Ford, but not - definitely NOT - Kavanaugh.

In fairness to Trump, the gutting of the safety net for the poor and seniors has been longstanding Republican dogma, especially for the likes of Ryan.

Its ironic to go back eight years when the Tea Party was up in arms and the GOP were running on Obama killing Medicare.

Like the last Republican presidency, there's a superfluous W there in your answer.

Did somebody say "safety net"?

A lot of evangelical voters need social transfers to get to the end of the month
The GOP is not interested in sustainability.

It reminds me of this, starring Charles and David Koch as the wasp and the GOP as the cockroach

This makes a push to a vote on Kavanaugh a disaster. It is hard for me to imagine Kavanaugh testimony making a difference. How could Flake, Collins, Murkowski vote for him without more investigation, including Judge? McConnell's best hope-Pull the plug now and get Barrett up ASAP

[screenexile]

Kavanaugh is gone!!!

Is there time to get someone before the midterms??

Hahaha.....very, very clever by Charlie

He knows the Dems are going to try and stick Kavanaugh on him in the run up to November and he's just after getting out in front of them

Compelling and credible evidence there by Prof. Ford.

[seafoid]

It reminds me of an all Ireland Final
If the underdogs score a goal before half time they have a chance. The GOP needed Ford to perform badly. She didn't

Republican governors Charlie Baker (MA), Larry Hogan (MD) and John Kasich (OH) call on the Senate to delay the Kavanaugh nomination and investigate the three allegations.https://t.co/rTVh4XdBWf
