The chess move of using (yes, using) a woman is tactical but shameful all the same. I hope you are voted out.

Well said.

Two words: Lindsey Graham.

Well done!

I know. They are completely outplayed.

You do know that he cruises HS girls basketball games because he "likes to see what strategies the coaches use"?

Proof? Are you saying he’s trying to target underage girls?

No, I told you it's because he learns from watching the coaches.

Kavanaugh would even attend games at another school, Georgetown Visitation, just because he admired the school’s coach.

“I’d show up for a game, and one of the only other people in the stands would be Brett Kavanaugh,” said Tom Conaghan, a lawyer whose daughter played for Kavanaugh at one point.

A parent on my DD's team says she's seen him at our team's games too. I didn't know who he was before but I do now.

But I think I’m going to start teaching that what really matters is always winning and always being right. Be the best, best everyone else, you’re always right and never wrong. Hold her down, she doesn’t matter, forget it ever happened, grow up and compete and be better than everyone, so you alone can win. I mean, right?

Why are you taking on parental responsibilities? You are an educator not a philosopher. O

If you don’t have kids, don’t opine. You’re entirely ignorant of school (obviously).

No please don’t do that. There are enough of the latter in our world. I always taught my DS, as you do. He is a teen and incredibly kind, compassionate and a gentleman. He followed this hearing and finally Collins explanation. Like me, he feels numb & indifferent. He feels there is validity from sides. I now need to help guide him on being less impressionable in this culture, to do the work, understand the facts, listen to all sides and most importantly to his heart.

Who are the male role models for teen boys and young men if it isn't the President of the United States and the men who sit on the highest court in the land?

His father, grandfather, coach, cousins and John Oliver.

+1 I’ve already had the conversation with my boys : don’t be an entitled drunken a$$hole like Brock Kavanaugh when you are in high school and college.

Trump, GOP Senate & Kavanaugh all complicit in this

THIS

It means we didn't hit rock bottom yet. 6 more years of Trump and swing to the left will be epic. I predict some major crisis, short of civil war, in the next 5-10 years.
Buckle up

The Dems will take over the House, possibly the senate in January, effectively stopping Trump's initiatives. He'll get nothing through congress after November.

He will not be reelected unless the Russians succeed in hacking voting machines in all the key states. Not impossible, but at least states are aware of the problem, and voters are aware of the problem.

There will be trouble ahead in the economy. Then, God help us if Trump is still in power. He won't be, and the GOP will blame it on the Democrats, even though Trump's policies (tariffs?!?) caused it.

Buckle up, but for different reasons.

Dems will take over the House, I highly doubt they'll take the Senate this time around.

He will be re-elected if economy wouldn't crash by then. Same for Dems taking over Senate in 2020 - all would depends on economy.
I agree, God help us if market won't crush before 2020 elections.

There are plenty of wonderful role models for teen boys and young men. My DH, for example. For starters, he's never sexually assaulted anyone. DH doesn't drink or use drugs, he's a mature, responsible, civic-minded human being and he's a great role model for my boys and for other boys in our community. My DH thinks Dumpus and Kavanaugh are despicable, and no one should look up to them.

My point was how disappointing it is that a president or justice can no longer be counted on to be role models. That is sad for our country and ironic for our boys: do not act in any way like the President of the United States.

No surprise, but there was hope. I had hoped Collins would see the light and side with women who see Kavanaugh as a symbol of the many men who abuse women with no consequences. If Collins were empathetic to women, as Murkowski is, apparently, she would vote no. But she voted against all the women who have been abused by men, and she will pay in the next election. She never intended to run again, so Collins doesn't care that she betrayed women. Shame on her.

Yes, I agree that it is depressing as all get out that I would (and have) tell my boys not to be at all like the president, that he only got where he is by breaking laws, by betraying his country. I’m the one who posted the link to the video of the men protesting Kavanaugh. I showed my boys that, too.

No, it's your side who will pay for the egregious smear campaign. Perhaps check to see if your passport is valid so you can be ready to leave.

Smear campaign? The Democrats told the truth.

(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of
the United States shall disqualify himself in any
proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably
be questioned.
(b) He shall also disqualify himself in the following
circumstances:
(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice
concerning a party

"What goes around comes around" indeed.

But there is no law requiring that he recuse himself from any case before the Supreme Court. Recusal is voluntary.

Do you think Brett will recuse himself when the ACLU brings a case before the Supreme Court? He'll be licking his chops at his chance to get back at those "liberals" who funded the conspiracy against him.

Be very afraid, Democrats.

Do your boys talk back when you say no to them? Because if they do, they haven't been taught that "no means no".
