I think this is what the young people call a Concern Troll.

Unless they cut this woman to shreds it will be a disaster, don’t forget all the media will have their sound bites making her sound credible. This is a lose/lose right now, hoping things turn around, there’s still time. The fate of the country is at stake and these guys want to be polite, give me a break

Chris Wallace never would have gotten his “journalist” jobs if not for his father. Chris Wallace cannot even pronounce words and names correctly. He always refers to Justice Sotomayor as “Sodameyer”. What a dolt!

“Fox News’ Chris Wallace calls Dr. Ford’s testimony ‘a disaster for the Republicans’ “

The things said and done by the mob just before any public lynching is a disaster.

I was on a civil jury in a trial where the defense barely even presented a case. Hardly any facts were in question. The trial was condensed to less than two days because 95% of the disputed facts were resolved through pre-trial motions. I was really surprised the case even went to trial. I could see from the docket number that it have been filed THREE YEARS earlier, and I knew from my own experience that there had probably been many settlement offers from the insurance company representing the defendant (it was an auto accident).

I saw the whole thing as a sham from the start. I envisioned a scenario where I would be the only one in the jury room who felt that way and I'd be arguing against five other jurors. So I decided to wait until everyone else gave their input before I said a word ... and it was 5-0 in favor of the defense by the time they got to me.

We were in the jury room for no more than 20 minutes. When the verdict was rendered I thought the plaintiff's attorney -- a good attorney who presented the case well but had no facts on her client's side -- was going to faint and fall off her chair. LOL.

"There is nothing to corroborate Ford’s testimony. Nothing!!"

Yes but that is not being demonstrated at all. Ford is not being cross examined in the least. The Prosecutor for the republicans speaks to her like she's talking to a new born baby. Ford is a witness that is not being impeached in any way. She has nothing but you would never know because the republicans have handcuffed themselves so badly. The democrats have to be laughing their asses off at how stupid the republicans look.

Stick a fork in this nomination and start selecting who's next. I can't believe the President held off on firing Rosenstein today for this crap.

This entire Democrat farce is a disaster for America

Then, at the same time, it is a loud warning for anyone who wishes to avoid living in a Socialist Democrat world to get serious.

Perhaps we need the WW11 poster with the white beard and pointing finger and the "Uncle Sam Needs You" slogan - but change the wording to "MAGA Needs You"

I was just listening to Blumenthal and had to turn it off because I thought I would puke.

Only thing missing is an oversized portrait of Joseph Stalin on the back wall.

This isn't a trial. It's political theater.

Ford is a witness that is not being impeached in any way.

Neither was Anita Hill -- and yet public opinion of Clarence Thomas went through the roof after she and Thomas testified.

There's no selecting another nominee after this one. They're all going to face the same bullshit allegations, dude.

The problem is now the focus has to be on “Why would she lie”?

The answer is obvious -- she's a far left-wing activist.

[amihow]

So far, looks like Republicans gave this away procedurally to the Democrats. It is a disaster for the Conservative movement.

Betrayed by both parties.

[atc23]

I think in this case Wallace has a point here. Mitchell is a disaster. Are the republicans going to fold and delay the vote ? 3 gets you 5 they do fold

[Mariner]

“There’s no selecting another nominee after this one.”

I hope there is.

Because I don’t believe Republicans have the fortitude (votes) to get this one over the finish line.

[SpaceBar]

This isn't a trial. It's political theater.

Yup. The "disaster" is how the confirmation hearing has been allowed to devolve into a soviet show trial, except this time around we don't need english subtitles.

CANNOT WAIT FOR MAGA MAN TO SPEAK....

He’s trying to trance people in to how to think

[TheRightGuy]

The Republicans always play by Democrat rules. Democrats have pulled this stuff how many times and Republicans never call them on it.

Thought these hearings would be about the nominee for Supreme Court.and the nominee’s involvement into an alledged incident while a minor.

But testimony has been allowed to degrade into a purulent description replete with emotional sobbing of the helpless victim heart tugging by Senator Finestein (and others following) her opening statement describing an alleged rape by the accuser (avoiding any reference to; Who while a teen and seems to have been sexually active and practiced consentual sex) allowed the fact the nominee was not even present or involved not to become emphasized.
