An enraged man spitting out words "anger,""fear," "revenge," "nightmare," "evil" (3 times), "character assassinations," "what goes around goes around," "fear for the future," "i will not be intimidated," "circus," "Destroy" (3 times), ""vile" and "never" in response... 
2. to a detailed, well-thought account of what happened delivered by Dr. Ford. Now he is talking about his mother and repeats "evil" and "die."
3. Dr. Ford was assaulted by some man, somewhere, at some time. Now he is brining in his ten-year old daughter and crying and wants to pray for Dr. Ford. Now he is going to speak about himself: his career.
4. "we did not travel in the same social circles"
5. now he is crying and talking about his dad.
6. he is crying and yelling.
7. more about his dad, playing football, lifting weight and going to church. more crying and making faces. lists many women's names. cries more and talks about partying on weekends.
8. he is still crying.
9. "lack of sex was the matter of faith." crying.
10. he thanks all his friends. reads more text messages and letters about himself, repeating he is "a good man" three times and crying. he hired four women clerks--"that is who i am!"
11. "i love coaching more than i've anything done in my life...i have been a judge for years." (in the same sentence.)
12. "i ask you to judge me by the standard you would apply to your father, husband, brother or son." he is done.
#Kavanaugh is done and based on the speech he is not equipped emotionally to be a lifelong judge.
Questions: Do you know #MarkJudge? Yes, he is "a funny guy, popular, addiction problems, suffered...[crying] Here is more about Judge. He has been published in a Russian publication funded by the Russian government and run by a professional propagandist medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
He is screaming again. "I am all in, I am all in!"
repeats "I drank beer, I like beer" about 10 times.
"we drank beer" "we drank beer and still do" "yeah"
#RachelMitchell is calm and professional and asking questions. #Kavanaugh calmed down. 15 minutes break.
Back to questions. Angry #Kavanaugh does not answer the question about the yearbook descriptions. instead gives his academic record, sports, church activities. does not give a single answer.
Repeats he is innocent but refuses to go for the FBI investigation.
"Why do you resist the FBI investigation?" "I wanted the hearing before."
"Will you go for the FBI investigation?" "I am innocent. I wanted the hearing right away. It was destroying my family..."
Graham: "Have you been through hell?" Kavanaugh: "I've been... yeah..." Graham, screaming: "This is hell."
Kavanaugh: "I like beer, I like beer, do you like beer? What do you like to drink, Senator?"
[by now, it is one angry man after another, lot's of indignation. Kavanaugh is now quieter.]
"Perhaps, some incident of this sort happened to Dr.Ford at some point in her life." A Senator whose name is covered with the ABC Live banner.
Sen.Kobuchar: "If we can open it up and have an FBI investigation, for the FBI to open it up and ask questions... let the questions being asked." "I am here to answer the questions about my yearbook and basketball."
"Are you asking me about the blackout? Have you blackout? Have you?" to Sen. Kobuchar.
Listening to the press and public figures reaction. They are normalizing Kavanaugh's avoiding the concrete questions and his aggressive behavior. Dr. Ford made a balanced statement of facts. Kavanaugh praises his own character, and attacks and mocks the committee after crying.
"Judge Kavanaugh was an immature teenager, so were we all."
[i took a break here]
