    And it just makes me a little skiddish about how it's going to be in twenty years. How much "louder" will the sides be? Will we ever come to some cohesion? This country is changing before our eyes and when does it become better? I don't know how much worse it can get.

    God, thats depressing.

    who knows, but getting rid of the clown in the white house would be a good start as well as having term limits for congress and the supreme court. Trump has done zero to try and make this a unified country.

    ...the right has become too far right and the left has become too far left...must be a way to meet in the middle somehow.

    Term limits to just about everything would really help with a lot of this mess. Supreme court judges, senate etc...

    Is there anything in that post that is false? Those are reasons why I think an FBI investigation is in order.

    Ford answered every question. Kavanaugh refuses to answer any. It is clear who is not believable.

    Fascinating how one of them is sitting there in front of the world and flat out lying. Really crazy when you think about it. Taking oaths, swearing “to god” and all that. Insane.

    Am I the only one who caught the Chris Dudley reference?

    Duds played much better defense.

    I have been to job interviews where they deliberately asked stressful questions to see how candidates handled pressure. Anyone who shouted, interrupted, self-pitied, spouted conspiracy theories, would NOT be hired as a technical writer.

    I have as well for a job as a claims adjuster - I had to go through a handful of group interviews (meaning multiple people questioning me) to see how I handled myself in advesarial situations and how I would come across on the stand if I had to defend any of my decisions at trial.

    I would think Kavanaugh would be better at this since he's seen how defendants can go sideways with juries because of their demeanor. He's just coming across as defensive and evasive. Not the kind of thoughtful and measured responses I would expect from a judge.

    I liked how when the option of an FBI investigation was suggested, he totally obfuscated.
