(2) What's happening is that the Democrats are being utterly demolished.
Judge Kavanaugh knew what was coming.
That didn't make it EASIER to take; my guess is that it made him ANGRIER.

(3) People have watched too much TV.
You DON'T humiliate the accuser.
By treating her gently, the Republicans got the votes they needed from the usual obstructionist suspects.
Kavanaugh--DESPITE A GLOBAL ATTACK BY THE PRESS--made it out of committee.

(4) The Democrats and their Strumabteiling are demanding an FBI investigation.
Hey look!
The actual insignia of the Sturmabteiling!
Fits right in with all the other logos, doesn't it?

(5) The REASON it fits right in is that protests and screaming and fist waving and threats are all LEFTIST actions.
And they always have LOGOS created by professional graphic designers.

(6) The longer this goes on, the WORSE it is for the Democrats.
They're getting their FBI investigation.
"We couldn't find any evidence that any of the accusations are true."

(7) Kavanaugh VOLUNTEERED to endure this.
Moles in the ranks of the Democrats have kept him informed of every new development.
And @SenFeinstein is being flayed alive.

(8) @mitchellvii is a much better man than me, because he doesn't erupt with THIS:
"Why do you stupid bastards go to where people will say things that you KNOW will upset you?"
It's masochism.

(9) The FBI investigation is giving senators COVER to vote FOR Kavanaugh.
It's a week in which you can BOMBARD THEIR OFFICES with demands for a "Yes" vote.
You didn't even think of that, did you?

(10) It's also a week in which OTHER STUFF can come out.
About the ACCUSERS.
About their LAWYERS.

(11) This IS a trap for the Democrats.
The entire confirmation process was a trap.
YOU are going to Think Progress and getting hysterical because leftist fanatics haven't seen the light.
THEY DON'T MATTER.

(12) "Oh, but the sheeple will--"
SHUT UP, you defeatist son of a bitch.
I don't want to hear your incurable terror.
PISS OFF.

(13) The greatest X-Files episode is "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," Season 3, Episode 4.
Peter Boyle is a psychic who the FBI is using to try and catch a serial killer.

(14) At one point the serial killer meets Clyde Bruckman and says, "You see things. You understand. Why do I do the things I do?"
(15) And Bruckman says, "You don't get it, do you, kid? The reason you do the things you do is that you're a homicidal maniac."
(16) You terror-addicts don't get it.
The reason you go searching for bad news is that you're masochists who are only happy when you're miserable.
Drama!
That's what you crave.

(17) The reality is that the Republicans F*CKED the Democrats on every level.
And by having a totally useless FBI investigation that will turn up NOTHING, the Republicans give cover to senators who would otherwise vote "No."

(18) Flake got his wish.
In return, he will cooperate. So will MANY OTHERS.
It's a Trumpian business deal.

(19) The Sturmabteilung thinks it scored a massive victory.
Insane.
Kavanaugh made it out of committee BEFORE the FBI investigation that was demanded. He's IN.
This is the deal made:
"Have an FBI show-investigation, and I'll vote 'Yes'."

(20) Stop reading bullshit from people who are guaranteed to lie about what's happening.
All you're doing is building up plaque in your circulatory system from the stress hormones.
Do you WANT a heart attack?

(21) The Democrats were played.
They were tricked into exposing themselves.
The retribution will be unprecedented...

(23) Republicans SAID that no amount of giving in would satisfy the Democrats.
And NOW the Republicans are VERY DELIBERATELY proving it.
"Give us an FBI investigation."
"Okay. Here you go."
"NOT GOOD ENOUGH."

(24) This is like a scene in a movie.
A hysterical, foam-spewing maniac is backing someone down the street.
"You pig! You monster! I hate you!"
Suddenly they stop, and the maniac sees that (s)he is out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by shadowy figures.

(25) Someday, political historians will recognize that the Kavanaugh confirmation was the mother of all traps.
It destroyed the Democratic party...
