Little Sister Resister: Acknowledging the Boof in the Room

Acknowledging the Boof in the Room

A lot happened today.

I was able to listen to only part of today's deliberations by the Judiciary Committee. For your reference and mine, here is the complete video of today's hearing.

I fell in love with Sen. Whitehouse (D-RI), who hauled out a blow-up of the calendar page in question and noted that this evidence could very well corroborate Dr. Ford's statement. His comments start at 2:25:25 above.

Whitehouse also called out Brett's lies about what "boof" and "devil's triangle" mean. I'll let you google them, but they don't mean "flatulance" and "a drinking game," as Brett lied. Under oath. Again.

Toward the end of the meeting, several Democrat committee members walked out on their colleagues. Later, during the recess, as the vote was about to begin, it was evident that Sen Jeff Flake (R-AZ ) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) were off conversing together. Earlier, Flake had been confronted in the elevator by an impassioned survivor. When the committee reconvened, it was revealed what he and Feinstein had been talking about.

Sen. Flake looked pained as he called for an FBI investigation, and said that though he'd vote to move the nomination to the full Senate, he will vote "No" on the nomination there unless an FBI investigation is done.

Wow.

Flake had been on the fence, and had finally revealed that he would vote to confirm. This, despite his being on the way out of office. I suppose Dianne convinced him that he is the voice to speak up and ask for the inquiry. No doubt his fellow fence-sitters Senators Murkowski and Collins also encouraged him.

This is good news for Truth. Minutes ago, TЯUMP directed the FBI to conduct an investigation. We may just get some more answers about the truth of the matter with Dr. Ford and more about the true character of Entitled Frat Boy Brett Kavenaugh.

And it may mean the end of the nomination. Perhaps Brett will withdraw rather than face another excruciating week of being held accountable for his actions. Perhaps within the next week, other credible allegations will come to light.

And from the gotta-laugh-to-keep-from-crying files:

A couple other notable calendar pages:

Thanks to Big Sister Resister Pagrs for this comic from my favorite political cartoonist, Tom Toles

And another from George Washington's calendar. SCROTUS had intimated that President Washington might have had a questionable past when he said, “he may have had a bad past, who knows, you know? He may have had some, I think, accusations made. Didn’t he have a couple of things in his past?” This calendar was found -- it may corroborate those claims!
