hehehe


is that like a service animal or something? :)

There is proof..

I CANNOT BELIEVE THESE G.O.P. senators WANT THE
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS....

A.N.Y.W.H.E.R.E.

NEAR THIS COLOSSAL CLUSTER F**K SCOTUS HEARING...

THE FBI HAS WAY LESS THAN 33 % 1/3 HONEST LAW ABIDING emploYees IN THAT ENTIRE ORGANIZATION....

I KNOW THAT FOR 100% FACT...

THEY GANGSTALKED ME SINCE 2013...the FBI-SSG DIVISION RELENTLESSLY, ILLEGALLY AND TRIED TO MURDER ME over 8 different times.....

Calling the FBI "LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS " IS A TOTAL JOKE... 66 2/3's % of them ARE seasoned FELON sadistic CRIMINALS...

THE FBI is owned by the D.N.C....

THEY will find any republican SCOTUS guilty of any trumped up charge they can find...

You can’t handle the proof

we should have Mr. Jones do Kavanaugh's next back-ground ...Jonesy may've found a red flag...

this is not a criminal case, nor is it a civil case. It is a process to determine whether the nominee is suitable for appointment to the highest court of our nation. The "test" is whether the nominee possesses the attributes of a justice of SCOTUS...more an "eye" "ear" and "instinct" evaluation. His demeanor in answering the questions matters as much as the substance of his answers.

You've sat on hundreds of job interviews ...has any candidate ever behaved as Judge Kavanaugh did during his testimony yesterday, showing contempt for the hiring process, disrespect any member of the hiring panel, refusing to answer basic questions and interrogate members of the panel, and got the job?

Ya..!!

Oh ya, when and where and to who..?? Cause all I've heard is Congress would have to change the law and if they did he would enforce it... He doesn't have the power to stop anything right now...
But it sounds good if you're trying to stir up chit I guess...

Yeah she has nothing to gain. She doesn’t have certain views or work for a company that might be inclined against his possible views.

Really drafter?

Using the standards that have been applied to Judge Kavanaugh and this era of the use of social media, I wonder if the younger generation realizes that they have already destroyed their lives and don't know it yet. Every post of actions during spring break may be used to show that you are a sloppy drunk and therefore guilty of any charge made against you. It doesn't matter that you only drank to much once. Your upstanding behavior after as an adult means nothing.

Before I retired, I used Facebook many times in my job to catch people in lies and prove that they were committing fraud. Before I would interview them I always checked their Facebook pages and they would actually post pictures of themselves in the act.

I fear that we have opened a can of worms where every stupid or dumb thing you have done or said as a teenager will come to haunt you. Please stand up and be counted if you are without sin and have never done or said something you regret.

Sober as a Judge. There's a reason that phrase has endured...

Judge Kavanaugh behaved as if he was auditioning, not for the highest bar in the country, but for a bar fight. If I'm going to a bar fight, I want that Brett on my side. But if I have a case up before the Supreme Court, I don't believe he would be impartial, based on his own words during his opening statement.

When I attended the police academy more than 30 years ago, I was aspiring for the job of law enforcement officer. Training staff would get in your face and accuse you of horrendous things, literally scream invectives at you. How a candidate reacted to that stress was a part of the evaluation process.

Like TW, I do have 40 plus years old skeletons in my closet, and I am sure they would disqualify me for many jobs. I would not pretend to have the intellect to be a justice of SCOTUS, but my behavior in my youth would rule that out.

Way back when I had applied for a gun permit in MD and during my interview with the MD State Police, I was asked if I had ever used drugs of any kind. I replied that I had tried weed a few times. He looked at me in a surprised way and said very few people admit that. I responded that I was suppose to tell the truth was I not. He said thanks and approved my permit.

I have actually avoided situations where an honest answer would kill my actions. I self limited. I didn’t think I could lie and get away with it and knew some of my actions doomed some avenues for me.

I never felt entitled enough to think I could lie or be indignant to certain questions in certain scenarios.

I didn’t place a value judgement on it. I just don’t think the yutes are doomed if this guy goes down.

Reminds me of a story my father in law, may he rest in peace, used to like to tell bout how he got caught speeding and when the cop asked him if he knew he was was speeding he said yes. The cop said it was a first and let him go with a warning.

Experts disagree. Circumstances matter. And no one is above the law. Not even the potus.
There's a lot of info and opinion out there but only one thing is clear: it's unclear.

I would hope not, but I don't think Dems are motivated by any higher angels than Reps. My own personal opinion is that if any lib nominee performed as Judge Kavanaugh did throughout the confirmation process, from the very first day being evasive, squabbling over little things, refusing to answer many questions and to release documents of his work during a critical time of his working career, while ignoring the point of a question, obviously lying about details that are evident, being disrespectful and contemptuous of a process that however imperfect is what we have to screen SCOTUS candidates, expressing open hostility and contempt for the GOP/cons which betrays a deep partisanship ...setting aside any of the acts alleged by Dr. Ford...I would urge that the nomination of a lib be withdrawn. And you know, most cons would feel the same way about a lib candidate if he/she behaved that way.

I believe that the President in power has the authority to nominate anyone he believes is qualified to sit on the bench of SCOTUS. He is entitled to select someone who shares many of his values and beliefs, so when we have a GOP President, we should expect that he would nominate someone with conservative values. I would guess that there are many other candidates on the list who share credentials of Judge Kavanaugh, but who would have superior temperament and character.

There is a danger when a President nominates a deeply partisan political operative. Not sure if a Dem President would do that...I recall from past processes a desire to find a more moderate qualified candidate to try to narrow the partisan divide.

do people believe that she made up the entire story?

If ya said she fantasized about Frankie Tripod, that would be understandable

not this Special K guy..

I believe that she believes the story. I would be interested in seeing the DR.'s notes from the therapist but she/attorney's won't turn them over for review. I remember Judge Kavanaugh being asked what he was hiding but Dr. Ford was not and her Attorney's are refusing to release documents.

And another question I have is why did she not know that the staffers were willing to go to CA, but from what I understand she was not even in CA but Delaware at the time. She is afraid of flying but flies everywhere.

The thing that really bothers me on this is she was 15 years old, why was she at the alleged party to begin with (no chaperone) and how did she get there and get home. She said she ran from the house, did she call someone to pick her up right away or walk home. Where were her parents in all this, I mean she was 15 years old, I would never let my 15 year old daughter go anywhere with out knowing where she was and who she was with. Now she could have lied to her parents about where she was going but she got there somehow if the parent did not actually take her, who took her and why did her parents not check on her whereabouts. Also from what I have read her parents are not supporting her publicly for personal reasons.


Now I believe that she believes that something happened and I feel that something did, but it wasn't Judge Kavanaugh. This whole things smells and when the real truth comes out it will be explosive.

Last night, Saturday Night Live went nutz on Kavanaugh. Anyone else see it?

She was very believable. And deserves her chance to relate an event that she claims changed the course of her life.
She has actually said that she's afraid to enter rooms with only one way in and out. This incident fkd her up. You cant give that to her? Ok, so it wasn't a a crime, maybe not even that big of a deal to most of us, but who determines what injustices deserve our attention even if they're not covered by some law? You?

And these days everything is partisan. Partisanship isn't especially amazing in this situation.
The fact that a few reps have moved to her 'side' is amazing.

I was also 'struck' by her comment "I thought he was going to accidentally kill me". She had been describing how drunk he was...and was afraid he might kill her. Seemed clear to me. That's hardly a thought. It's a survival instinct kicking in.


She personally, had nothing to gain by lying or even coming forward. There's no doubt that this public admission is embarrasing to her. Just look at her! Coached, eh?

Please.

Both sides were coached! And she still looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
And you can't fake that.

Kavanaugh has everything to gain by lying. And he's terrible at it. A terrible actor. She gains nothing by lying.

You're right. Even if it happened it's not a punishable crime. But it does go to his character.
He shouldn't be a scotus. Find another candidate.

Maybe one who hasn't written and stated publically that a sitting potus can't be indicted.

Did you know that McConnell pleaded with Trump to NOT select Kavanaugh because of the volume of documents he wrote in his 12 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals. He knew Kavanaugh would not get confirmed easily because of his roles as White House staff secretary under W. and assistant to Ken Starr investigating Clinton.

McConnell wanted Judges Raymond M. Kethledge and Thomas M. Hardiman as they presented the fewest obvious obstacles. Dems wouldn't have a post to hitch their ponies...

BUT Kavanaugh was the only one who was most likely a get out of jail free card for Trump.

Trump.

So we have a week off/FBI investigation.
If they learn he did the deed folks like you won't care. Because it's not a crime.

But does he deserve the Job? No! **** him.
