The #METOO movement gets stronger every day. More and more WOMEN are stepping up and getting into politics. Men used to rule the world. We're gonna take turns, right? Fair is fair, correct? Women might take over and see if they can do a better job. What could it hurt?

Several pinned Jeff Flake in an elevator and demanded he look at them and listen to them. They are tired of being pushed aside, set aside, ignored. Watch out. Once the tide turns y'all better learn how to swim or get out of the way. Jeff Flake didn't like being confronted like that. Who does? But he did the right thing. He didn't run away from it like all the other chickenny spineless white males have done in D.C.. Once upon a time in another land maybe that was how all men reacted. Listened and learned and cared enough to do the right thing. Maybe. less
He say he cried like a baby. I doubt super don was suitably impressed when Kav broke down and cried and cried and cried and cried. Not an image of strength.

I love to read but need to feel it's worth my while as I get so little reading time... I also like listening to books and have very fond memories of when my kids were little and I'd listen to books while doing housework and chores.. But these days again with so little time I find I sit down to listen and fall asleep.. I miss large chunks of the story as I am often multi tasking.. so I think it has to be something I don't have to pay too much attention to... less

Pleasing or displeasing folks?
Did he work his way through college and pay for it himself? Did he win scholarships? Did his parents foot the bill? He seems to come from a life of privilege. His attitude reeks of it.

Was she focusing on the July 1 entry about the party at Timmies and Skis (bruskis..beers) and the names of a few there, 3 of which were already disclosed by Dr. Ford? Might that be when Dr. Ford was attacked by Kav? Why was the female questioner pulled otherwise?

So Kav did likewide. It may come to haunt him. The FBI will pore over it in detail. One garthering on July 1 lists 3 of the people Dr. Ford said were there. She said someone else was there as well but she doesn't remember whom.

The fact that a person drinks a lot of alcohol does not always equate drunkenness.

Dr. Ford requested it. The trumpicans ignored it and were going to barrel right through everything without it. Then the messenger changed. The message remained the same. Guess what? What the Dems demanded and Dr. Ford requested is going to be done. Shame on the trumpican Senate majority! They won't even pretend they are being fair. Well this is a goodly comeuppance I think. Whatever comes from it will have been worth it. All the stones will be turned over and if there are NO creepy crawly critters that slither out from under then we will know once and for all. But if there are? Well then. Different ballgame entirely. Kav will be at bat. Will he homer or strike out? "We'll see what happens"! :) less

Jeff Flake has a lot of power over the trumpicans. So do Senators Collins and Murkowski. They are getting done what Dr. Ford and Dems has requested then demanded. What took so long? It was the messenger that mattered not the message. Sheesh.

I'm sure she was used to have FACTS available from which she could work. The trumpicans made sure she had nothing. No FBI interviews. So I give her credit for trying. Bet she never does that again! :)
