He says he can't see what's real in front of your face

So I left the house for my appointment this afternoon right as Dr. Blasey was finishing her testimony and got back just in time for the mopping-up of Kavanaugh's tantrum.

Tell me again how we can't have women in positions of power because they're so emotionally volatile and irrational and unreliable and cry all the time.

His affect when he was tearfully reading his opening statement reminded me of my ex-husband when he had to cop to his misdeeds in couples counseling.

It is fascinating to me that there is a classic presentation of a caught abuser, but you are not the first person to tell me that that was Kavanaugh's show.

How are you doing?

[gwynnega]

Mainly I'm glad the hearing is over. I hadn't thought it was stressing me out until I noticed my vertigo symptoms were getting markedly worse, and then I realized how much it was affecting me.

*hugs*

I hope you are doing something vertigo-calming now.

Oh dude, I was seriously like "Those are the tears of a man who has is really really sorry he's been found out, not sorry that he fucked up."

[gwynnega]

Yes, the tears of a man having to face the consequences of his actions for the first time.

T said he thought that was the demeanour of a guy who is no longer fighting for the Supreme seat but just to keep his current cushie perm judgeship, and he may be right.

spatch called him a one-man three-ring circus. I said then I hoped he was his own Hartford circus fire. Burn his appointment, burn his job, burn his life. No one destroyed him but himself.

[kore]

Hah, v witty the both of you!

No one destroyed him but himself.

Yeah. Zap him out of being-ness. Let his name be forgotten.

Altho of course the SURVIVOR has clearly been feeling the consequences of his actions since 1982, and she was the one who had to appear nice and polite and accomodating and blah blah performative femininity to even be listened to. (By some people.) I was reading this not-unrelated article on Brock Turner and someone was like, "This was one time, how long should he be punished, his whole life?" and I flashed on Emily Doe and her whole life and was like, WHY NOT.
