@@GunRunner3 Yeah, you might have written her off completely were it wasn't for the fact that sometime after he was confirmed, several dozen people who went to Yale with Kavanaugh told their stories about how hard they tried without success to contact the FBI during the 72 hours they were given to examine the claims and under the extremely limited scope of people they were confined to speaking with in the orders they were given. They all reported that Brett's habits of blackout drinking and sexual aggression had become common knowledge on campus. The FBI's published tip line was so overwhelmed they didn't bother to check them due to the time constraints. Weird how that can happen when you have a Toadie Attorney General who sees his first responsibility as personal attorney to a fraudulent businessman, rather than loyalty to the American People.

John Goodman as Linda Tripp was truly brutal (Deservedly so) Best thing about that was in FX American Crime Story, Impeachment (Clinton) a couple of years ago. Sarah Paulson played Linda Tripp, with a bit of ‘ugly’ makeup, her adult daughter tried to shield her from watching SNL, but said to her, its okay it’s funny. In another shot you see the hurt look on actress Sarah Paulson’s face (playing Linda Tripp) watching John Goodman playing her.)

James Austin Johnson certainly is the worthy successor to Alec Baldwin in mimicking Trump. 😂
