Your declared level of care and the vigor and volume of your declaration are way out of proportion. Sometimes, it's not what you say but how you say it that communicates more truthfully.

"Dr. Ford sounded legit"
they both did ~ but that shouldn't be enough evidence for anyone, right? |

But yes, even if the Democrats did try to pull a mini-Garland and delay the vote a week, that has no bearing on the veracity of Ford. Quote:
And the football team calling themselves the "alumni" of a girl means they were her pals? No. Just no. They were claiming they had sex with her. I expect they were lying then, but he was definitely lying in the hearing.

Second, no committee Senator will be swayed. This entire presentation only targets some moderate Republican Senators. Third, question is quite simple. Does behavior in high school and college have any relevance to qualification of a judge? This behavior was acceptable even some years ago. Harvey Weinstein changed that. So, is behavior that is unacceptable for adults today relevant to what someone did in high school and college? Does that behavior define core values of the man? A few moderate Republican Senators will be the only ones answering that question. Only one is on the committee. |

Temperament is an issue. Can this guy deal fairly with the political cases that come before the court? Throwing the Clinton red meat out there looks to me either politically calculated or paranoid. I want someone coolly looking at the law. Can this guy do that? For the record I'm over high school but is the nominee? https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/...f-the-clintons I would guess this makes him very attractive to the base, pretty repulsive to mainline Democrats, and a real problem for Joe Manchin.

Definitely not. But if one side took a lie detector test and actively wants the FBI to investigate, while the other side is refusing to do either... I'm on the side that is in favor of more evidence-gathering.

It's not my opinion that both sounded legit. Kavanagh sounded evasive and butthurt.
Also.... If Ford is lying why doesn't Kavanaugh sue her for defamation?

Lying?
Hahahaha. Google Devil's Triangle and tell me how far down the search results you have to go to get to the "drinking game".

Whoopsie!
Turns out, there have been recent edits to The Internet to match Kavanagh's description. Talk about fitting the data to the conclusion....

I mean I can't see high school broheim lingo is proof of anything worthwhile, other than you figure he might have gotten his buddies to beat us up in high school. Personally I'm over that wretched time period, but are you guys ok? |

He sounded, appeared, tentative and timid. He had no fire in his belly.
She sounded, appeared, wounded and fragile. She had no fire in her belly. Neither was credible, neither convincing. As performance art: the whole event gets a half a star out of a possible ten stars. As a means of sussin' out the truth: zero out of a possible ten. We know not one goddamned thing more today than we did at the beginning of yesterday. Led by the nose we are, not by beef but only by the promise of beef, to one of two troughs where we're expected to drink deep and shut the fuck up. No, nope, forget that noise. I say Trump should dump Kav and find a woman of comparabe experience...vet the hell out of her...have the vetting be public. Then bring her before the committee and dare the bastids to wreck her...make them vote on 'her' and not on an accusation about her. |

I'll buy the earlier in the process issues -- and it would be nice if the committee actually cared. But lying about high school yearbook terminology? Bill Clinton should *definitely* have been impeached, if that is the standard. I don't think he should have been impeached, do you?
