I wonder how the parents of the girls' basketball team Kavanaugh coaches feel

I truly feel sorry for those girls and their families and for his girls. His wife at least can do something as an adult. It wouldn’t surprise me if she didn’t know about this side of her husband and I want to give her the benefit of the doubt. She may even do the loyal wife thing of standing next to him for the cameras.

But the other parents and the girls themselves. They’re all wanting to be loyal to him and believe him now. Denial is probably still the order of the day, but people who are parents are protective of their children, and especially so of their daughters. Kavanaugh has been seen as an asset to their daughters, and probably as a friend of the families as well. But this is too ugly to totally ignore or to put out of their mind.

The more that comes out the more of a pariah he’ll be. Professor Blasey Ford is one of them. Of their group of educated women. Just like the mothers of the daughters he coached. Some of the mothers may even know her or went to the same school and college as she did.

I think those girls are getting questioned about his actions as their coach. I would certainly be questioning my daughters.

And today is Monday, the first day of school after the shit hit the fan. All those girls he paraded out for the world to see are back in the their school today living the trauma of the fallout and destruction of their reality. Wherever they fall on the emotional spectrum this will leave a lifelong mark.

It’s the reason, other than saving Trump’s ass that he’s even there. He would gladly strip all girls and women of their fundamental rights. All those girls he coached and all their mothers and both his girls and his wife would lose their rights. You have to be a pig of a man to want to do that.

He has only daughters, not sons. He will have to worry about the sons of his buddies treating his daughters the way he treated other young women. Furthermore, he doesn't have sons to coach into being assholes and rapists.

He is brazen to parade all those girls out there and to brag about being such a progressive man. If he’s capable of such self serving actions then the question is just how low will he go to acquire his goals? How low won’t he go?

I thought it was so creepy they made such a big deal out him coaching young girls.

With the avalanche of accusations he's facing. I feel sorry for the kids.

Instead they’re reeling on a precipice. May they fall off the cliff.

They knew these story we're going to come out. Tried paint the picture that he was a upstanding "carpool dad".

I think they didn’t have a clue. As a matter of fact I think this is a huge life shattering shock to them!

When I think about the picture of those girls sitting behind him. If I didn't know why they were there. I would've thought they had accused him of some sort of misconduct. I perceived the expressions on their faces made them look like hostages.

This is not a good moment for them, and they won’t be able to forget it either. His coaching days are over.
