Very well said. His wife looks like she is finally coming to the realization that her husband really is the monumental a****** that she was afraid he might be. I feel sorry for his kids. |

Kavanaugh didn't even have to aanswer any questions from the sex crimes prosecutor. Dr. Ford did, and she's not even accused of committing any sex crimes! |

If it had been a real trial, Kavanaugh would have been thrown in jail for contempt of court. He wanted to ask like Trump but instead he just showed us that Dr. Ford was right to be afraid for her life. Can you imagine that after he had a bunch of his beloved beers??? |

| How did a supposed belligerent alcoholic guy manage sports, 4.0 GPA high school, 4.0 at Yale, 4.0 at Yale Law School, secure a SCOTUS clerkship and then become SCOTUS nominee? I think he’s a smarmy rich jock, but obviously not an alcoholic, and obviously incredibly driven and hard working. |

Good question. Luckily one of his friends who went to Yale and got drunk with him a lot called in and explained how this happened: https://www.rawstory.com/2018/09/kavanaghs-yale-classmate-on-cnns-chris-cuomo-there-were-text-messages-flying-around-about-how-kavanagh-was-lying-to-the-senate/ She also says he lied and lied and lied under oath today. And she is a Republican. |

| Latest word is that Manchin is probably going to vote to confirm. He's pretty safe out in Trump Country West Virginia. |

Just called all four of Manchin’s offices. All of his voicemail boxes are full.
Let’s assume Kavanaugh is innocent. Do you know anyone who loves beer as much as he said he does, but has never forgotten anything that happened while they were drunk? Does it matter that he lied? |

I think he was trying to fill the democratic senator's question time as much as possible and was an idiot. he was heavily coached but they screwed that up. |

Perjury? Boofing and Devils Triangle explained: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/devils-triangle-boofed-mean-brett-kavanaugh-1142748%3famp=1 Perhaps if the Democrats knew what a Devils Triangle was, they could have asked if this was a reference to what Kavanaugh and Judge were attempting when this assault occurred.... |

According to Urban Dictionary, the term “FFFF” often is an acronym for “Find ’em, Feel ’em, F--k ’em & Forget ’em.”
The Urban Dictionary paints a graphic image while defining the term “Devil’s Triangle” which refers to the sexual act commonly known as “threesome.” In two alternative scenarios presented by the site, the act can either include two men and a woman or two women and a man. As for the phrase “Have you boofed yet?” The New Yorker reported that high school boys usually refer to the term when talking about the “practice of anally ingesting alcohol or drugs.” According to Urban Dictionary, “boofed” might also refer to getting high from smoking weed. |

Nope, nothing will ever top the sheer ballsiness, crassness and partisanship of McConnell’s Garland love. |

I thought the very last lines uttered by Kavanaugh were so hesitant and tortured. He was asked a series of very simple and very direct questions and used so many qualifiers. Did he do it before God as his witness. The honest response of an innocent man would have been “no.” I don’t understand what he was trying to piece together, but he couldn’t just say “no.” The response was worse about the other accusers. He said if it had happened the whole campus would’ve known. This is a non-response.
The tears for Dad at the beginning come from Kavanaugh’s personal shame. His Dad warned him about his debauchery, lewd, and criminal behavior in high school and college. A question like “what would his Dad think of him and these accusations,” would have gotten to the truth. Probably also would have left him in a puddle of tears. The yearbook is extraordinarily damaging and demonstrates exceedingly poor judgment. I was in high school around this time and remember how many friends interested in public office would steer clear of anything remotely damaging. Pre-social media we talked about things being on “your permanent record.” These included photos with alcohol or drunk people, and damaging information in the Yearbook. Keep in mind your Yearbook is how you wanted people to remember you at a time where there would be almost no other record of what you had done as a young person. It was edited by peers and faculty. Bragging about sexual conquests, smearing the reputation of a woman named Renate, and bragging about drinking were the things Kavanaugh wanted to have memorialized in a Yearbook, in the DC area no less. His priorities and values are and were very clear. Like many people who lie, he overstated. In the opening statement he said he had never been at a party like the one described. We are to believe he never went to a party in high school where young people were drinking?! It is literally all over his yearbook. He bragged about it. Kavanaugh is simply not credible. |

I don't like Brett Kavanaugh as a high school student. I know nothing of the man as an adult but since we are talking about what happened when he was a teenager in the early 1980s that is the prism through which I will view him. I also went to an expensive private school in a similar private school world so I recognized the type of guy Brett Kavanaugh clearly was at the time. An arrogant, cocky, asshole, somewhat lewd and in an environment where it was tolerated to make wisecracks and derogatory comments about women.
But does this mean Brett Kavanaugh is guilty of the allegation in question? That is the crux of the matter for me. And the answer is it cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. And not only that, the allegation is riddled with so many holes and is not supported by the other people named in the allegation, including a close female friend. I am not quite sure how seriously to take the claims that Blasey Ford cannot remember so many simple details. I was badly beaten up by muggers at a similar age. It was traumatizing. And I remember every single detail of what happened, where it happened, the street, who came to my rescue. I simply do not buy the idea that Blasey Ford cannot remember these simple details, especially because it's supposed to be a traumatizing event. If it is true that a traumatizing event can cause the mind to trick itself into forgetting certain details, then it must also be true that the mind can also trick itself into remembering things differently. So it's entirely plausible to me that this did happen - but not how she told it. It happened, but not with Kavanaugh but with someone else in a different house under different circumstances. That is equally plausible. Without more concrete evidence I cannot deem Kavanaugh guilty. I do not want to see Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. But not because of this allegation, which is unsupported and for all the reasons listed above. It is also readily apparent to me that this allegation has moved far beyond Blasey Ford versus Kavanaugh. So many people are rushing to verdicts based on what they personally want to see and believe. That is why so many readily support and believe Blasey Ford despite all the glaring omissions and holes in her story. And these people are also seeking to penalize Kavanaugh not just for the alleged sexual assault but also for all the other unreported assaults that whole generations had to endure in silence. They are also seeking to punish the Republicans for what they did to Merrick Garland. They are seeing a justice in this, but unfortunately, it is not true justice. It's a rush to vengeance. Which is not the same as justice. And the hatred that comes with vengeance has reared its ugly head in so many posts on here and in the wider media to the point that it's ridiculous and beyond logic. I don't know what the next proper step is. It's tempting to say to Kavanaugh that he is damaged goods, regardless of whether he may or may not be innocent. Perhaps I can justify it by saying that a Supreme Court justice must be beyond utter reproach, no matter when the allegations may have happened or how true it may or may not be, and because of that we cannot let you be on the court. But if we do this, it will come at a price for the future. What that price will be, who knows. But any "victory" regardless of the victor is likely to be shortlived and the lack of pragmatism, tolerance and forgiveness will not be forgotten. |
