1. What a shock!

3. It's not so much her blackness or womanness. She's just not a RW asshole. He can't get behind that.

4. McConnell: She had "a lack of candor and clarity" -- WTF

His vote of no, is just what a racist would do.

Moscow Mitch is an idiot.

7. Needed candor like beer bong cry boy

Fuck that neckless old swamp fossil. When he dies, I will party for a week. Hope his grave site will be open to public.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Did anyone come out and ask her if she "liked beer?"

That is apparently a qualification For the Republicans and I'm surprised no one made a point of getting that dig in...

[Traildogbob]

15. Actually

No one asked Kavanaugh that, as the repigs keep insinuating. HE brought it up all by himself, said, “I like Beer”, then asked members of committee if they liked it.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. I know, that was his excuse for his abominable behavior

And what I meant was that someone should have asked that of Judge Jackson, since that's apparently a qualification for SCOTUS for Republicans - since that's all Kavanaugh had to offer...

[Traildogbob]

18. She should have asked

Them if they like beer. Also when she was asked what she thought about racist babies, she should have asked, “like the ones in congress”?

[Rhiannon12866]

19. I know, she was impeccably polite despite insults and cringeworthy off topic questions

If she could keep her cool during all that, she can pretty much be depended on to withstand anything...

[Traildogbob]

20. But Mitch hated her candor.

Last living, barley, confederate soldier.

5. To be expected from him and his ilk....nt

[Algernon Moncrieff]

6. This is not unexpected

The bigger question is whether everyone in their party has to go along on this one. Collins, for example, might cross lines here.

8. Remember Last Week, There Was Roughly A 5 Minute Period, Where It Looked Like MAYBE.....

His Vote Would Be In Play?

That was merely to make it appear as if he was having an open mind.

Reality is, his mind was, and always has been, Closed. He just threw out those positive vibes, so he could pull the rug out a week later.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Yup, and now he needs to be questioned about his specific reasons.

They need to start giving him the attention he craves and misses, follow him with microphones...

[SoCalDavidS]

13. I Wouldn't Believe A Thing He Said

Whatever reasons he would give are pointless.

The ONLY reason is that she is a Liberal. The fact she's a Black Female is just a bonus, but he would never admit to that.

President Biden chose her, and that was the point he made his decision to vote no.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Duplicate post. n/t

9. What else would you expect from that racist piece of crap?!?!

[Pinback]

12. "Ah, good morning world!

How can I be a loathsome backward prick today?”

17. Shocking! 😱
