Exactly! This has all been blown so far out of proportion. I kept a journal in high school and had little codes I used. If someone were to ask me about it today, I would have no idea what I had been thinking at the time. The leaps of illogical thinking that are happening here are down right scary. |
Your logic eludes me. Your beloved SCOTUS candidate LIED to the Senate Judiciary Committee. That is a problem. The lies were unnecessary. But he lied repeatedly, which is a crime. And he wants to be on the Supreme Court. Bravo to Sheldon Whitehouse for getting Kav on record lying repeatedly. Kav is not fit to serve on the Supreme court in part because of his lying under oath. |
This is a sham. McConnell has as much respect for the American public as he does for victims of sexual assault - none. Trump and party above all. |
Both of Ford's brothers are DC area lawyers. Why go to beach friends? |
Whether the references in the yearbook mean he and his friends engaged in those behaviors is less important than the fact that he lied under oath about those references. His lack of honesty is what should be the end of this. None of us will ever know for sure whether he committed any assaults absent other evidence. But his perjury was unquestionable. And it is irrelevant that he and many of us think the questions he evaded or lied in response to we’re stupid or inappropriate. He lied under oath and we need to move on to the next. |
I'm a regular DCUM poster who does not sneer at people using the Dr title. I especially don't sneer at women who use it, because we have been historically deprived of the respect accorded men of the same rank. --signed, a Ph.D. (Dr. Smith to you) |
I imagine that some Democrats probably think that the nominee made an 80s “vow” of silence with his crew of Prep school chums, and that the vow will crack under the pressure of the supplemental investigation. What happens at Prep... Time will tell. This is the bottom line, right? And why wouldn’t a criminal investigation be requested in Montgomery County regardless of what turns up by next Friday? |
Funny how DCUM "sneered" at African American DR. Ben Carson. Your selective outrage is disingenuous. |
+1 My father has a doctorate in psychology and was called Dr. by everyone. He is now in an independent living facility and is still called Dr. by the staff. |
Why do you assume people who fear flying never get on planes? My mom is terrified of flying. Terrified, as in white knuckle, give her something to knock her out so she sleeps the entire time terrified. But she still finds it necessary to get to far away places that it is impossible to drive to. So she gets on those planes and prays the entire flight. It's not pretty. |
It wasn't a lie if they referred to a drinking game they made up as Devil's Triangle. That is what they would have meant in the yearbook. The fact they were giggly about the alternative meaning of the term doesn't mean they engaged in sexual threesomes. |
Dr. Ben Carson is a prominent neurosurgeon. |
Every Democrat I know will acknowledge that Dr. Ben Carson is a genius neurosurgeon. Every single one. He separated conjoined twins, for god's sake. Politician or HUD administrator, eh, not such a stellar reputation there. |
And a celebrated one at that. Why did he retire so early? And remind me again what the connection is between neursurgery and urban housing? |
The woman laughed and admitted she flies a lot to pursue her personal hobbies and pleasures. That's not necessary. That's desire. |
