Ask Gym Jordan.
also recently, democrats abandoned any sense of decency and decided that winning is all that matters and that there’s no limit to how low they’ll go. ask clarence thomas. or robert bork.

And yet the Republican's elected a predator Pres. and he has 90% approval rating who admitted to sexual assault. What # of Alabamians voted for a child molester?

Why didn't all the Repubs. vote for Bork? Thomas had credible allegations of assault against him but the Repubs didn't care -(can you see a pattern here).

Get over your hate.

Perhaps you could ask Anita Hill and Archibald Cox.



This one is eerily similar to current events

I did it (and have in the past) so when the petty people here point it out I can show them it was done just so they can show how miserable they are.

What free services do us guys like and who is us guys?

If that happened, how is that kavanaughs fault? seems like
he’s a victim too.

i could be wrong, but i’m 95% certain that’s what it said, someone else thrust it into her hand.

and who is he exactly? you left out one additional thing we know
about him. Right?

and if the “it” he saw ( and this is an ‘if’), is that someone else thrust kavanaughs penis toward this girl, then kavanaugh is also a victim. right?

these yalies have nothing better to do, than set up nudist colonies on campus?

Everyone in Washington is scum. And it is a result of where they have chosen to spend their professional lives in their working lives, making decisions related to their career advancement, NOT the result of how they spent their social time at college.… I am not about to condone rape, assault, or other morally wrong predation, but... it is the onus of a victim to come forward and state an 'attack' took place, is it not? Given the widespread coverage of the MeToo movement, one would have to think that any woman (or man) who had long ago been the victim of such an attack, that they would have used that platform to come forward...
I was in a large, rowdy, jock fraternity at UMass in the late 70s. Hell, I ended up president of the thing.... So I saw plenty of chit. And dealt with the PD when necessary... The MeToo movement had me racking my memory bank, believe me. Drinking blurs the lines. But heavy alcohol consumption was the norm of the time. This was discussed at a recent funeral of a fraternity brother that was heavily attended by my house and the widow's sorority sisters. We partied and played HARD... But that was not what has made us who we are or have become professionally. And that is what concerns me more when considering a candidate for POTUS, Senate, Congress, SCOTUS or an employee. Not how they partied in college...

I didn't see any hate in what you said. He just likes to throw that word around, whether it applies or not. Like the left throws the word "racism" around, usually when it doesn't apply. "Hate" and "racism" are some of the most devastating things you can be accused of. That's why they do it. And it is a despicable thing to do.

Then let's have an honest thorough investigation and what evidence shows comes out. Make that wrong.

I would generally agree. That being said if Kavanaugh responded that way he might have gotten a pass, instead he denied most of everything and made up stories to cover his college days that he documented.

What's even crazier is that he blamed the entire think on a Clinton conspiracy when he was a participant in the Clinton conspiracy era of the 1990s.

I don't want to hang anyone for behavior in college if it's not provable but his performance during the hearings was below par for SCOTUS.

No offense Ross and having been a U-Mass Amherst SAE fraternity member in the 70’s, I hear you. However I was also married to a women who was so emotionally f’ed up by a similar sexual predator in her high school senior year, nobody in her family, police or even myself learned about it until I was married for ten years. Sh*t like that will to some make those memories get buried as that is how they need to deal. The witnesses are IMHO far more important as they were not emotionally impaired by the incident and all should have been interviewed, this is a LIFE long appointment not a two or four year term.

The thing that discredits this guy to me is that he is not politically neutral. Judges need to remain neutral so that they can follow the word of the law in black and white. This guy to me is a puppet. Nothing more. I’m sure after a few years we can review his decisions of things and see what I mean.

Did he document the sexual assault he was accused of?

That's debatable. It seems that you do want to hang him. Maybe you believe a subpar performance (I thought he performed well) merits hanging.
