With all of that sniffing, I wonder did Kavanaugh also snort Cocaine? We all know that "likes beer" BUT in this video he is sniffling all the time too. Like a coke head would do.

[@juliegogola4647]

@Kardz22 I agree, and the people who make the actors up with makeup and wigs are very good at what they do. Melissa Mc Carthy as Sean Spicer was great too. The hair is the best part of the getup they have to make these characters believable.

And this hearing was absolutely ridiculous…he cried over his father (who is still alive) reading from “his calendars” to the kids and teared up while reciting all his female friends by name. He was defensive to the extreme over the idea that he might have blacked out, said a “Devil’s Triangle” was a drinking game, and said “Renata Alumni” was his way of saying a girl was “one of the guys” when it clearly insinuated that they all allegedly slept with her. He was asked repeatedly if he would support an FBI investigation & dodged the question. If they really wanted to embarrass the guy they should’ve just played the actual hearing.

So you think it is okay for matt Damon, who knew but didn't say a thing about weinstein to ridicule and accuse someone who had only been accused without respecting the basic right to be "innocent until proven guilty"?

@Veronica A. Are you actually going to support your statement, or just keep calling me hopeless? Facts have evidence to support and prove them. Are you in possession of some damning information that proves, beyond doubt, that Kavanaugh is an abusive man? Enlighten me. 8 days later, nothing. Good talk.

[@davechongle]

@@godofrock117 his behavior in the senate hearing is proof enough of him being angry, spiteful, impossibly emotionally charged, impulsive, dodgey, partial, and therefor not fit to be a supreme court judge. it is crazy you (assumedly, from seeing your comments i have some doubts you even knew about the hearing) saw him yell, argue childishly with the senators, dodge simple questions, gas light everyone, and come out on the other side saying "yes, this man is stable and i completely trust him."

[@godofrock117]

@@davechongle ah yes, how dare a man being falsely accused of sexual assault and other heinous acts, who has been receiving death threats to himself and his family, be on edge and angry.
