Kavanaugh flat out LIED about what he meant by boofing. His LIE that it meant farting?

He pulled that out of his . . . ass.
Now that we know what it really means circa 1982 (according to Stephen Cobert), I'm now convinced that Kavanaugh shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Supreme Court and should likely have his appellate judgeship revoked as well. Thanks Perknose...as usual, I find your arguments to be incredibly compelling.

But, it is interesting to see the Dems today argue for holding an alleged crime as a teenager against someone for all their life even if they've been a productive contributing citizen for decades since...

Another example of moral scum rationalizing. Here we see what is a nomination for Supreme Court Justice equated to holding something against somebody for life that they did as a teenager. It might also become relevant if he were nominated to be the Pope. You can fool yourself but to everybody else not similarly mentally damaged you just look like a clown.

Screw Flake and his frowning. He could barely even look at those two women in the eyes. What a goddamn coward. The whole lot of them are utter cowards. Hiding behind a woman prosecutor as they attack a woman.

I'm looking forward to the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh once democrats win in November, and his subsequent impeachment.

Incandescent anger doesn't restore purged voter registrations or redraw district lines. The senate is controlled by 18% of the US population. There is nothing that voters can do (if they're even allowed to vote at all). We do not live in a democracy anymore.

If Democrats are elected to state legislatures and governorships they most certainly will get to redraw district lines. This is something that Republicans are openly afraid of, erosion of the structural advantage they've built to keep a disproportionate number of US House seats.

As to the Senate the constitutional barrier hasn't changed. It was designed to be an antimajorian body. However there are some fixes to the balance of power that Dems will now consider as options like adding states.

Please come up with one definition that shows boofing to mean farts anywhere. Which is more probable, a guy who had an admitted heavy drinking problem, who almost died from it, trying a method used by drunks to get "high" quicker and more intensely or just a fart joke term used ONLY by them and no one else?

Gawd. The way Kavanaugh comported himself in yesterday's hearing revealed he's not suitable SCOTUS material. The rest of it is immaterial after that appalling display.

Remaking the Supreme Court in the image of congress.

They also haven't disputed her account. All they said was "I don't know if that happened", which you know but fail to mention because you're a disingenuous prick.
Let's get real here...I'm a "disingenuous prick" in your pea-sized brain because you have no other way to cope with facts that don't happen to reinforce your twisted view of reality. The facts being that those sworn statements did not in any way corroborate Ford's account of what she alleges happened to her. Deal with it.

Signed,
Disingenuous Prick

Judging by the rumblings of the Dems in the House Judiciary committee an investigation into the allegations surrounding Kavanaugh if they take the house is a foregone conclusion. Welcome to Shitstorm City, population: US.

Sigh.

And as I said before, I think women are every bit as human as men are, to the extent that they should be held to the same standards men are. Namely, being expected to provided evidence for allegations.

Conservatives tend not to prejudge based on sex or race. That's the domain of the left these days.
Sure that's why they paid a woman to fly 2000 miles to question Ford because they didn't want to do it themselves

Okay, so going through each one.

Ford's is ridiculous because:

1. It's from 36 years ago, long past any possibility of finding physical evidence or reliable memory.
2. Entirely lacking in corroborating witnesses. Of the few witnesses available, they have said under penalty that they have no memory of such an incident.
3. Her testimony about who attended has been inconsistent. Her memory in general about the incident has large holes on key facts.

Deborah Ramirez:

1. Also from 36-ish years ago.
2. She was drunk by her own admission, and admitted she couldn't be sure it was even Kavanaugh.
3. Neither the New Yorker nor the NYT could find a single corroborating witness, nor could they find anyone who could place Kavanaugh at such a party.

Avenatti (It's sad that I even have to do this):

1. Outrageous on its face: that Kavanaugh was, at age 15, leading a gang-rape ring that spanned 10 parties without a single witness or even a victim named.

So basically for all of these you’re claiming a lack of evidence, evidence that is lacking primarily because Republicans refuse to even attempt to gather any.

This is irrational, circular reasoning. You’re letting your partisanship overwhelm logic. Put country first and let there be an investigation instead of declaring things ridiculous because they threaten partisan goals.

What do you suppose the hearing yesterday was? Furthermore this is disingenuous and you know it. Democrats had no interest in investigating this; otherwise it would've come up during the confirmation hearings, or any of the 40+ days in advance of the last possible second when Feinstein know of the accusation.

As already covered in this thread Feinstein was not in a position to violate her constituent’s confidence.

They are most certainly interested in investigating it, Republicans refuse. 100% of the blame is on the people blocking the investigation.

Because his friends, family, classmates, ex-girlfriends, colleagues, and co-workers over his entire career say so. His personal life to this point suggested a perfectly decent man, and until democrats defamed him we had absolutely no reason to believe otherwise. In fact we still have no reason.

Plenty of people had nice things to say about Bill Cosby too. We have strong evidence of Kavanaugh lying to the senate under oath. Do you think decent people do that?

Knowingly using outlandish unsubstantiated allegations to ruin a man definitely fits this.

It does not.

Why what double standard? I don't know what you mean.

You said the allegations against Kavanaugh were ridiculous because they lacked corroborating evidence. You then said other people were guilty of defamation without any evidence that they were knowingly supplying false material.

You’re being a hypocrite. Either apologize for your outrageous (defamatory!) accusations or hold both to the same standard.

It's a high school nickname for a toot from the 80's.

It does seem like the Democrats should probably add DC and Puerto Rico as states next time they have the ability to do so.

After a circus there's generally a lot of shit left over that needs to be cleaned up.

And now the packed supreme court can annul efforts to redistrict.

These fixes require you to be in power before they're implemented. My point is not that the situation is hopeless, I don't believe that at all, but my point is that we do not live in a democracy anymore, and I don't think this will be resolved by winning elections.

I just don't want a Supreme Court Justice who spends all his time with his face in the toilet heaving because of his famous weak stomach. I was just so deeply touched by that. The poor poor guy. Just goes to show how deeply even people of privilege can suffer. Somebody put a hand on his mouth.

And since you can't tell which one is lying since there's no FBI data to go on, looks like there's a 50% chance that our next supreme court justice will be guilty of perjury.

I watched a lot of the questioning, I think he's fine. If Ginsberg can do it, I'm sure he can. Of course, this is the same crowd that said Trump wouldn't win, Trump isn't fit for office and have to pretend like things are bad today under his leadership to justify their emotional position. Dems are evangelical these days, not logical people.
Let me ask you a question. If you were going to hire a babysitter to watch your kids for 5 years. You completed a background check and the sitter passed. Its Friday and they were going to start Monday. You get an email claiming your sitter abused other kids 10 years ago. Do you...

A. Put a pause on the start date and do additional background investigations.
B. Let the sitter in to start their 5 year job because its too late and you already did your background checks.

This is so funny. Do you know that if an idiot asks to be proven an idiot and such proof is self evidently manifest, that idiot will not see the proof on account of being an idiot. The same thing applies to you holding values that aren't really values but the values of moral scum. Your view of the world will always be that you are the victim of unreasonable people because you have no capacity to reason. Your world is built around moral disgust and outrage. Your contempt for immorality is so intense you will never be able to see it in yourself. You will always see yourself as the righteous victim. Your inner condition of of deep humiliation and shame. Somewhere a guitar gently weeps for you.

Ah, the resident fucking psychopath is coming out of the woodwork.
