Grassley just said something stupid.

[madaboutharry]

On Whitehouse's commenting on the July 1st calendar entry:

"There are a total of 7 boys named and she said there were 4 boys."

Is Grassley too dumb to entertain the thought that people could have come to the gathering after Dr. Ford ran out of the house after having been sexually assaulted?

I am so tired.

1. every time Grassley opens his mouth something incredibly stupid comes out

[JaneQPublic]

2. Let us know when he says something intelligent. (nt)

3. Now I know why there is an "ass" in "GrASSley".

He is vile.

4. It's all just "yes but" barroom logic at this point, basically they have the upper hand and they

are going to use it. It was all a foregone conclusion.

5. Also, she clarified yesterday that there were AT LEAST as many as she said, but possibly more.

Dr. Ford also stated that the parties usually start later than she was allowed to be out, and that she expected that more people would be showing up later that night. So there being more people on the July 1st entry than Dr. Ford named still fits just fine with what she's stated.

6. The almost-funny thing is he thought that was a smart observation

But nothing is funny about him anymore.

What's interesting though is he still feels the need to justify short-circuiting this process.

7. When the hell are the corn goblins going to ditch this guy?

Are they really going to wait until he reaches Orrin Hatch's level of senile "Weekend at Bernie's" staff puppetry?

8. She said it happened at a pre party

A gathering before they went to a party. That’s when it happened I believe.

14. Ha! Even flies won't gather at the

shite that falls out of his pie hole.

10. It will be news when Grassley says something that's not stupid. - n/t

11. Grassley will live to regret what a horrible person he forced into

the nation's highest court. The press should demand his apology to the American public.

12. I may have to tune out for awhile

Like I did after the election. Can't stand the smirks and congrats that will be forthcoming from Bart McKavenaugh, tRump, and this group of hyenas.

13. All the republicans wanted

was a partisan hack who would get trump of the hook and maybe, just maybe, overturn Roe v Wade as an added bonus.

They hid important information. That was their first error. They have a majority so they could have put Kavanaugh in anyway.

The lack of other information gave rise to the sexual allegations.

Kavanaugh could have gotten around those, at least somewhat. He could have embraced the allegations. He could have talked about the hell of being a teenager in our bizarre culture where you have to be a bigger badass than the next guy just to fit in. He could have apologized. He could have said that he didn't mean any harm and that he didn't understand the terrible consequences to the victim (research is still evolving on this). He could have said the wished he could make this victim whole. We've all been young and stupid. People understand that and all of it would be true.

He then could have talked about leading a life of redemption since those days.

Instead Kavanaugh took the trump doctrine to heart. Deny, deny, deny. Bluster, bluster, bluster.

If he gets on the Court, he'll be damaged goods. He may even get impeached.

The republicans, like those teenaged boys, don't understand the harm they've done.
