Fascinating. This describes so many guys I know. But why, what's the thread that holds all these things together? Aside from the self-deception. |
Because he stopped that behavior decades ago and it was common for teens in 1982 to party HARD. |

Did you see the Madelano quote about Judge the other day - it was something like: Judge was a deeply unhappy man who made himself happy by making others unhappy. |
Good God. More proof that intelligence does not equal maturity. Brett’s emotional intelligence score must be in the single digits. |
So the drinking isn't a concern now because it presumably has stopped, but the (alleged) behaviors it enabled that it appears also stopped are still a problem? I was in college in the early 80s so I know how crazy it was, and I know a lot of people who never recovered from things that happened as the result of the excesses. |
My favorite line from the newest accuser:
Ramirez acknowledged that there are significant gaps in her memories of the evening, and that, if she ever presents her story to the F.B.I. or members of the Senate, she will inevitably be pressed on her motivation for coming forward after so many years, and questioned about her memory, given her drinking at the party. It's almost as if she knows she's lying. BWAHAHAHAHHAAA. Insanity reigns. |
How didn't any of this come out in Kavanaugh's background checks? |
Have you been under a rock since July? This has been discussed. Wife earns $66k. He earns $216k. $1.8 million home. $90k Bethesda Country Club initiation. $110k Congressional Country Club initiation. $40k per year tuition for the girls. $200k in credit card debt went poof in the last year but didn't come from his bank accounts. $30k in savings. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/07/new-strike-against-kavanaugh-season-tickets/565022/ |
Because they didn't...they wanted to push their boy to the SC anyway they can! |
Very low self-esteem. What would have caused it in this case? No clue, but here's some speculation: If this is indeed a pattern of conduct, the whole double life (madonna/whore) thing makes me wonder if he himself was a victim of abuse at some point. Bullying father? Something totally inappropriate or even awful at church when he was younger? Again, this is TOTAL speculation, of course. But often serial abusers were themselves abused. |
Why would it? |
In the process of a typical security clearance, they don't interview your high school classmates unless they already have a reason to look there (eg, arrest in high school or expulsion). They generally only go back to the most recent 7 years. In addition, as part of a security clearance, you will provide a list of names for the investigators to meet with. Generally, these are your friends and family; they will not rat you out for what they perceive to be minor indiscretions and will generally cast the applicant in a favorable light. Investigators also interview ex-girlfriends. But if Kavanaugh wasn't too serious with anyone, then he likely told them he wasn't in any relationships. This is where investigators can usually dig up the real dirt. But Kavanaugh seems as if he avoided relationships. |
My understanding is that FBI does a background check for things that happened 18 and older. GP has their secrecy code. |
They belong to two country clubs? Do people do that? |
