In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
The repercussions of this farce are going to be massive, President Doofy.
And the letters B and R.
Have a feeling the next 12 hours or so of news are going to be interesting.
You're deluded Steve. There's going to be no repercussions from this, instead it's setting the precedent that a potential federal employee doesn't need to worry about previous misdemeanours as long as it was a long time ago and they kept a diary like Adrian Mole.
If nothing else that last 2mins of him God talk is enough to smack him in the ass if any new evidence pops up.
If he’s decided to vote no, he will vote no. Nobody has any political leverage over him at this point. At the end of the day though he’s still a Republican living in the Republican echo chamber and the circles he talks to over the next will all be bending his ear.
You'd think, though, that millions of female voters aren't going to plump for the Reps anymore after that.
One thing the Dems didn't really do - at least not in the Budweiser Brett hearing - is to remind the Repubs there is plenty of evidence to show they knew about these allegations before they were brought to light.
I'd like to think the women will all vote Dem, but we've all seen republican women make excuses for their men as long as it guarantees their WASP status.
The only people who will care are already Dem leaning voters. Im sure that New York and California voters will be livid.
It's pretty obvious political theatre and at the end of the day most people will vote based on the economy as usual.
Very good point indeed, poster.
I wouldn't be too sure of that, mate. Didn't more women vote for Trump than Clinton, despite knowing full well about his neanderthal views on them?

White women.
I feel bad for the women especially with Dr. Ford here today. It would always be difficult for her and any agendas others might have in this setting without having any solid collaboration from anyone else.
Seems like the guy is going to pass.

Ugh, relying on Manchin to vote out of principle and with some backbone is like pissing into the wind.
They'll all vote Yes.
You've got the hang of this.
Flake and co are voting for Kavanaugh. The stakes are too high for conservatives. I am positive the Republicans are willing to lose a few seats to flip the court. America could have a conservative court for the next 20 years. There's not a chance in hell they will pass this up.
And now they re guaranteed to have a judge that won't just be conservative - no this guy will have a lifelong passion for hating on anyone on the left for the rest of his career. Russia can congratulate itself on a job well done. Polarization effort complete.
It's not just abortion, it's voting rights, gerrymandering, gay rights etc. He's getting confirmed tomorrow.
Kavanuagh may have pleased Trump with his aggression but he has merely confirmed to women that they can see such a guy trying to rape a woman.
Just look at that farce today. That was not a judge, that was a Republican politician. The GOP are putting a Republican politician in the supreme court and some think they will pass that up.
He wont be confirmed.
Russia has nothing to do with this. Get a grip. This is who the Republicans are. This is who theyve always been.
I think this women thing is exaggerated. The way his testimony will be viewed will strictly be on partisan lines. I don't think there's a single Republican woman changing her vote cause of what happened over the last ten days. The only thing it might do is force more independent women to the ballot box.
If he doesnt he could come work for the DUP
That is what I was referring to. Not the Trump brainwashed one.
Thomas did the same.
Safe to say this entire hearing from Brett, in hip hop terms, bit off of Thomas’.

Lyin' Brett
Yeah, that’s still just 60 million people out of 330 million.Yeah my bad, it's only about 47% of you popular vote wise right?
It's a fairly representative sample size though.
Be easy for the Repubs to turn around and say why did you wait til now?
Ignoring the God part. Polygraphs are useless.
