Love it!
Thanks for sharing


For that matter the GOP can also compare even Neil Gorsuch's yearbook if they want:


That can’t be real. What on earth is “Fascism Forever”?

What's that tell you ?


That they were too cheap to buy Playboy from the local People's.

See, that actually sounds like typical teenaged boy behavior. Nicely done, pp. Can someone explain this to GOPers? This is typical gross but excusable behavior. Unlike attempted rape, which is gross but not typical or excusable.

My morality doesn't involve accusing a man of sexual assault, gang rape, alcoholism and pedophilia without fact. I'm damn proud of that, thank you.


A lot of us do not believe he is most of those things (well except an alcoholic, I mean, come ON...) However he is waaaaay too openly partisan to sit on the court. It was a cheap move and McConnell knows it. I’m sorry it turned out this way but if the GOP had picked someone more appropriate I don’t think this would have happened. Oh, and Merrick Garland.


Yep, all the partisanship is on the side of the Republicans. We'll just not talk about how only 3 Democrats voted to confirm Gorsuch, who is used as the preferred example of a conservative-leaning judge in these threads.

Look, when we're at the point when an acceptable choice either doesn't come up for a vote (Garland) or gets Democrat in Republican stronghold votes (Gorsuch), it's partisanship all the way down.


So why didn’t they hold a vote for Garland and vote him down along party lines? Because they knew he was qualified and would actually be confirmed and they couldn’t have that. It was different and you know it.


They could have, but they decided to be partisan and not let him out of committee.
Just like all but 3 of the Democrats decided to be partisan and not vote to confirm Gorsuch even though they knew he was a good candidate.
Just like Trump decided to pick Kavanaugh instead of a less partisan choice.
Just like Feinstein decided to wait until the very last second to play her final card.

Partisanship all the way down. From all of them.


He is literally a partisan hack and not a respected jurist.


When everyone's playing the partisan game, why would you expect anything else?
If choosing a respected jurist gets you only 3 votes from the other party, why not go all in?

I'd argue you don't go all in because your goal is to seat the best justice you can for the country. But clearly neither the Democrats or the Republicans give a crap about the country, what with refusing to vote on, and refusing to confirm good, qualified candidates.


Do you know why Harry Reid went the nuclear route? Because the GOP refused to support ANY nominations, to the point that it was making our third branch of government disfunctional. McConnell took that action and weaponized it. For the most part, Obama chose centrist judges to try to get to 60, but the GOP refused. McConnell sat on Garland, and now we are getting primary news sourcing that he refused to make any statement about Russian interference into our elections.

Trump is illegitimate.
Kavanaugh is illegitimate.
The GOP is illegitimate.

So much divisiveness, so much rancor. Can't we pull together as Americans, around a simple truth?

Here goes: Brett Kavanaugh is sniveling, sneering, conniving, entitled, lying douchebag with a cheesy blow-waved hair-do and an alcoholic's complexion.

Surely, whomever we are, whatever our "politics" are, we can unite around a central truth like this. Let's all do our part to let the healing start.

Definitely a serial killer.


And, one who throws ice. Despicable.

As long as we add that his testimony also suggests that he’s an unstable, highly partisan, and vindictive person, as well as a compulsive liar who appears to have (and be in denial about) a serious drinking problem. Really not SCJ material. And it’s either specious or very telling for R’s to insist that the best/only nominee they can find to meet their ideological needs/further their political agenda is this kind of person. Just withdraw the nomination or vote the guy down already and swap in a new conservative.

I wouldn't go with "horndog." Having sex wasn't his goal when he was abusing women -- rather, he was using women as a prop to impress his friends.


And how do you know that? Is that just your feminist world view?


The Renate Alumnus brag, shoving his dick in a woman's face at a party, pinning down and groping Dr. Ford in front of his buddy -- laughing. It's all of a piece. It's a performance for the other men in the room.

"For men in male-dominated contexts like the military, male-male relations have a very powerful influence on their sexual and social relations with women. For some men, male-male relations take priority over male-female non-sexual relations ... and platonic friendships with women are dangerously feminising and rare if not impossible. This creates the bizarre situation where males who have female friends risk being seen as ‘gay.’ Sex with women ... is a key path to status among male peers. And telling stories and boasting about sexual exploits is part of male-male peer cultures.”

Sometimes, Flood said, that homosocial dynamic lends itself to sexual assault, humiliation, and rape in the name of male bonding. “Male bonding is part and parcel of some men’s violence against women. For example, the cultures and collective rituals of male bonding among closely knit male fraternities and male athletes on college campuses foster tolerance toward or even perpetration of sexual assault against women. Rape is more likely in fraternities that practice greater gender segregation. ... Rape may be both a means to and an expression of male bonding, especially when it’s perpetrated by groups of males."
. . .
Many of Kavanaugh’s defenders, from Rod Dreher to Bari Weiss, have trotted out the hoary “boys will be boys” defense. But what might be most striking about the story of Renate Schroeder Dolphin is that it reveals the dark societal heart of what that means. All too often, being “boys” — that is, forging a masculine identity — means the sexual humiliation and degradation of women, for the benefit of an audience of other men."

Seems as if you need to go back to 4th grade and learn the difference between opinion and fact, pp.

But his education at one of the best law schools in the nation, his past employment as a judge, well, that matters not a whit? Suuuuuure. The Honorable Judge Kavanaugh has an impressive record that speaks for itself --called evidence, as opposed to a confused woman who has no evidence other than spittle and mumbling of a past she cannot remember.

This is the bottom line. And, the Democrats know this and decided it was time for a smear campaign.
