    Sounds like we need Erica Jong on the case, and stat!

    The idea that anxiety around airplanes should manifest as an outright refusal to get on them is about the most absurd thing I have ever heard.

      Some people have that fear.

      I myself had problems with flying when I was younger. Extreme anxiety.

      I am fine flying now, but when I visited Europe, I prefer trains. Took a train from Spain to France instead of flying.

        Senator Hirono, who said that men should just shut up, said that no R Senators have asked any questions. She then finished her time WITHOUT ASKING ANY QUESTIONS.

          Figures, that Kid would pick on a woman about this.
          It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

            Kidiot hates women.

            And that flying bit? Is that all the right has?

            She has appeared highly credible. Sorry kidiot.

              Chris Wallace says this is a disaster for republicans...

              He is right. This testimony was highly credible and highly damning. And that is a Faux News anchor...

              Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony “was extremely emotional, extremely raw, and extremely credible,” Wallace said.

                That is from their daytime "actual" news people. I'm sure that by the time their night time lineup of Hannity, Carlson, and Ingraham come on things will be quite different.

                They can try all the antics they want. Kavanaughs approval numbers were in the red before this... And this testimony will only plunge that further.

                The only approval numbers that matter are Collins’ and Murkowski’s.

              I remember a Hill woman coming across as very credible too. Didn't matter then and probably won't now.

              Dublin Airport plane-chasing passenger charged

              A passenger has been pinned to the ground by police at Dublin Airport after running out of the terminal towards a plane and shouting at the pilot to wait.

              Patrick Kehoe, 23, made it to the taxiing Ryanair aircraft before police arrested him at about 07:00 local time.

              He has been charged with criminal damage to a door lock and granted bail.

              A ground crew member said he "just ran from the building towards the plane", which was departing for Amsterdam.

              The Irish man was "quite determined" to make his flight, an eyewitness told Irish broadcaster RTÉ, adding that he ran towards the plane "with his suitcase under his arm".
              ......
              Mr Kehoe, of Raheenaskeagh, Gorey in County Wexford, was brought before Dublin's district court later on Thursday morning.

              There were no objections to bail, and Mr Kehoe was released on his own bond of €200 (£178). He is to appear again on 8 November.

              Mr Kehoe covered his face with a folder and shouted abuse at waiting journalists as he left the court, before swinging his suitcase at the crowd and lowering his trousers to expose his backside.

                  I don't watch it, but I heard that Kavanaughs performnce in the hearing shows that, even without Alcohol Kavanaugh has a huge aggression problem

                  Not a good character trait for a supreme court

                    Sounds very similar to Kid. No wonder why Kid is such a staunch supporter.

                  He lacks serious credibility too. He is cornered and he knows it. Even if he does get on the bench, impeachment should come up after democrats retake the House and Senate in november.

                    There are four accusers this time... Probably more will come forward. This is far worse. There are many more witnesses.

                    They will confirm Kavanaugh and lose even more in the House and most likely lose the Senate now too.

                      If he doesn't get appointed, he should be removed and disbarred. What a disgraceful unhinged fool.
