      Guilt by association coupled with gross exaggeration and lies.  A fine, time honored Democratic concept.  Glad there are Republicans around to control their fanaticism and hate - aren't you?

        The only person who is lying and exaggerating is the disgrace called Kavanot whom the national disgrace in our oval office nominated: But are we really surprised? A dangerous joke of a nominee for our supreme court who is an alleged rapist, a sick in the head conspiracy theorist who says the "Clinton's" are out to get him, who perjured himself under oath with several lies that we know about so far pertaining to his alcohol habits and many other important aspects:

        This poor excuse must be removed from his current position, how can a partisan, conspiracy theorist serve on our courts ???? That's just insane:

          Your characterization of all conservatives and Republicans as "sick in the head" or "mentally ill" is getting old.

          Can't you come up with something new?  Maybe they are all carriers of the black plague or something?

            Not sure why you're being dishonest but everyone around here knows what you're alleging is untrue: I only identify those who indeed exhibit clear signs of being 'sick in the head' as being 'sick in the head' such as the mentally disturbed soon to be removed nut case lurking in our oval office and the hopefully soon to be removed from his current position as a judge Brett KavaNOT as 'sick in the head':

            You should watch Brett's unimaginable, disturbing display of mental instability, warped thinking, anger, seemingly uncontrollable bouts with disgusting belligerent behavior and on top of all that, his apparent lies which are beginning to be proven and of course his surreal Alex Jones "Clinton Conspiracy" delusional crazyness: All this apparently without drinking beer one:

            His nomination must be some kind of dark, nightmarish joke like everything else that comes from Bozo Trump because not only did he disqualify himself from our supreme court, but this guy needs to be removed from his current position and psychologically evaluated before it's too late:

              Do try and come with something new - you're getting boring using the same old schtick every time.  Some new material is necessary if you want to keep people entertained.

              Maybe Republicans are all ET's from Mars?  You know - out to steal the oceans of the world because their planet is so dry?

                It's obvious to anyone who still has ears, eyes and rational thinking that Brett is mentally ill and disqualified from being a judge period:

                  What's clear to me after watching and listening to some of this week's hearings is that the Democratic Senators did everything they could to prod Kavanaugh in to responding in some fashion.  His comment regards leftover anger from Trump's election couldn't have been more on target.  Gorsuch didn't feel this because control of the court wasn't an issue, and the demonically inspired Democratic Senators let it alone.  They've instead put all their black eggs in one basket - that of derailing Kavanaugh's nomination, and at any cost.

                  The fact that this escapes you, and many, Americans is stunning. It didn't escape Kavanaugh, and he rightly called out the Democratic Senators on this.

                  Yes, I remember the Zimmerman case well.  Where you declared guilt because of skin color, without regard to the law and without knowing what transpired.  According to the courtroom you were wrong, but I assume you would still assess guilt because of color.

                  Don't remember any gang rape case at all, but assume it is more of the same: Wilderness is absolutely wrong because he tries to gather facts and work towards an actual truth rather than assign guilt from the gut.

      GA, here is what would have impacted my opinion.  If Brett K had come to the hearing and in a thoughtful, measured way, admitted he engaged in drunken behavior, acknowledged truthfully that The Devil's Triangle referred to a sex act and boofing involved ingesting alcohol or drugs anally, that he probably did drink so much he might not remember everything he did, that he has, of course, grown way beyond that and no longer engages in any of that behavior, that he is embarrassed and ashamed to have to admit these things under oath and on national television but that he must take responsibility for his behavior and be truthful to the committee, that he regrets his actions and apologizes to any girl or young woman or person he might have hurt during his foolish and debauched younger years.

      THAT would be mature, honest, and worthy of the Supreme Court.

      The sniveling, lying, petulant, entitled behavior he displayed at the hearing is not.

        These severe impairments and behavioral detriments also disqualify him form his current position as appeals court judge and how he can possibly go back to that seat after this insane display of mental illness is unthinkable: Can you imagine the decisions he's been making already ????

            It's absurd and criminal that out of thousands of potential candidates the ONLY individual the fake christian conservative republicans can render for the supreme court is an alleged attempted rapist by at least 3 women so far, a warped angry old man with obvious severe psychological detriments which could be extremely dangerous:

                Here comes me and my gut instinct bursting in on a conversation again. I'm bored today I guess.

                I don't care if Jake has mental issues or not. I do care if a Supreme Court Justice does. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see Jake make an argument related to his own mental health.

                Besides, I don't think having a mental issue or disorder disqualifies anyone from stating someone else has one. In fact, in certain circumstances, it may make them more qualified.

      Yeah, I've kind of explained my thinking on this several times. I never said the guy was guilty. I said he was a lying punk and I think he's likely guilty. And, I've explained reasons for this several times.

      Pretty Panther sums up a good deal of the punk behavior that's unbecoming of a Supreme Court Justice. Be a man and at least admit you blacked out a few times, don't lie about boofing...and if you believe his story about flatulence, then I'm sorry.

      If I see clear evidence that Ford made it all up than great, he's innocent of that charge and I won't have a problem stating so.  I mean, I don't think Zuess is real, but if he came down and spoke to me, lightning bolt in hand, with accompanying thunder, I'd change my view. After all, I did get trained as a scientist in one of those institutions that "believes" in the merits of education and evidence.

      Either way, I would still think Kavanuagh is a punk.

        Hey there hard sun. In my defense, that I am not dense, your repeated explanations of why you call him a punk came after my response to you. You will notice that I didn't chime in on any of your other "punk" declarations.

        And I am not jumping on this "punk" declaration either.

        The media firestorm, the 'friends' coming out of the woodwork, and the constant "proof" that Kavanaugh is lying only reinforce my determination to wait for more information, re - the Blasey/Ford accusations.

        Amazingly, a CNN commentator asked an unexpected question tonight. The interview was with one of the Dem Senators, (who admitted he was up for we election, and currently fundraising), and who was touting the new Kavanaugh 'friend' Chad Ludwig(sp?) statement that he was a drinking budding of Kavanaugh, and although he could not testify that he saw the Judge pass-out, (or blackout), he could testify that he was a heavy drinker that would likely pass-out, or black-out.

        The Senator was pushing "Chad's" narrative that Kavanaugh was lying, the commentator asked; Well, if we are to believe one friend who says Kavanaugh was a "black out" drunk, don't we have to also believe the two friends who say he wasn't?"

        The Senator could only respond, with something like; "Well, we really don't know." (I am paraphrasing)

        But what about that question? If the public is believing every new revelation of Kavanaugh's high school and college behaviors, don't we also have to believe the counter statements?

Did Brett lie under oath as many witnesses are coming forth to attest to and if so, will he be prosecuted for perjury or is he like Bozo Trump appears to be, above our laws ??

    Is the FBI allowed to interview ALL Leads and potential witnesses or are Russian republican congress persons impeding their scope ??

      I think that had the Republicans pushed through the committee vote - without the one week delay for an investigation, they would have lost the three wavering Repub votes they need to confirm Kavanaugh, and,  a huge part of our nation would smell a very stinky rat. I don't see any way the Repubs could win.

      I don't think they would have the Senate votes to confirm, but, if, somehow  they did, then the blatant politicization would have doomed them for the midterms, and damaged the Repubs for the 2020 races.

        Not only would they possibly have lost the needed votes, they may have lost a few votes, especially female votes, in November. If the GOP can convince some that they tried to get to the bottom of the allegations that may be enough to stop a few people from being so disgusted that they just don't vote. There are a few Republicans that think this at least deserves to be looked into.

        Certainly the breath of reason in this particular thread.

        I think Flake is a weasel one of those useless politicians that is serving only his own best interests.

        That aside, I think the delay has done the Republicans a lot of good, it has given time for the likes of Graham and Trump to stump and pound away at the fact that the Democrats have done this purely for political reasons holding onto this information until the last moment, rather than see that these accusations were resolved long ago.

        Most people, already not firmly entrenched to one side or another, don't like such shenanigans, if and when they are given the opportunity to be made aware of them... such is the case now.

        Had the Republicans rammed this through, that would have never had time to become the focus as clearly as it has become the past few days.

          I think you're right - Republicans fell victim to the dirty tricks of Democrats and it needed addressed.  It remains to be seen whether the investigation is effective in stopping those attacks or whether it will simply produce another 10 or 20 baseless accusations that ALSO need "investigated".  Whether there will be an end, in other words, or whether there will simply be a never ending string of accusations.  It was telling that as soon as Trump approved the investigation there were immediate calls for more time; time enough to last past the mid term elections.

            Looking to snopes for facts is like looking to CNN for news... not saying this particular matter is true or not, just saying Snopes is a tool for those who want to spread their version of 'fact'.

            They have been proven false plenty of times.  It was (and may still be) run by a husband and wife team, no researchers studying historical stacks in libraries, no team of lawyers reaching a consensus on current caselaw. Snopes is just a mom-and-pop operation that was started by two people in San Fernando Valley of California who have absolutely no formal background or experience in investigative research.

            The owners were not really investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of various issues, but rather asserting their beliefs on controversial issues.  Or so I have seen written.

            Snopes is just as factual and non-biased as CNN, and with the same type of professional oversight and strict guidance.

              When you pay attention to Snopes, you see that they do not state falsehoods, they lie by omission. They leave out important details in order to craft their leftist narratives.

              I think the snopes wife left the snopes man because he spent a lot of his snopes money on hookers. There is still the snopes cat there with the snopes man, and presumably the snopes money hookers are cat friendly.

              I'm pretty careful with snopes, and I didn't find a single thing they had to say to be false in this case.  Ford did NOT say she called anyone at all, let alone on a cell phone; attacking the source of true information does not change the information at all.

              So I'll stand by the refutation of that pretty, lying meme.  It doesn't matter if one is pro-Trump or anti, it doesn't matter if one believes Kavanaugh or Ford, it doesn't matter if one is Democrat or Republican, the statement in the meme is false to fact.

                Not trying to pick a fight with you on this, in fact I clearly stated that I wasn't arguing the validity of it.

                What I was pointing out, is that using 'snopes' as a verification of fact, is like using a link to CNN, when we know by many previous examples that CNN is peddling either opinion as fact, or outright misinformation as fact.

                Unfortunately this is the current state of affairs our country is in, depending on where you go for you source of information, you could be getting completely different 'facts', often with no assurances or ability to be able to verify the truth of those facts.

                This very scenario with Kavanaugh in and of itself is kind of a reflection of this state-of-affairs we are in, without any evidence, supporting corroboration, or even clear where, when, how information, this accusation is considered fact, and proof enough, by too many people in our country today.

                  Thanks, Don; I appreciate the thought.

                  But if you read carefully, I will rarely take sides; it's usually far more about learning as much as possible before making conclusions.  It's about looking (hard) at both sides and trying to eliminate bias.  And, always, it's about "innocent until proven guilty".  Anywhere, not just in a court of law.  I hope it always will be.

                  I've been in and out of these forums the last few days, and have missed much of the give and take.  Most of what I HAVE seen, though, is about hanging Kavanaugh based on a single testimony (or a small handful of character references while ignoring dozens of others) and crying that he lied (while ignoring that she did, too).  So that's what I respond to; "Here, look at this, too!" or "Wait, isn't there some doubt there?"

                  But whatever: I will await your diatribe on on the evils of socialism! lol)

                    I don't think it's about "hanging" him. Though to be fair, I'm certain some people are simply assuming he is responsible for what he has been accused.

                    I'm not one of them. I have no idea whether Kavanaugh did what he is accused of. I saw Ford's testimony and it gave me no reason to doubt her allegation, but neither does it prove the allegation true.

                    I also saw Kavanaugh's testimony and I believe he made false statements, not about whether he is responsible, but about what the people named by Ford said.

                    For me, it's more about that.

                    Regardless of Ford's accusations, a nominee who is untruthful under oath, about something as serious as what the witnesses to an alleged sexual assault said, should not still be deemed suitable to be a Supreme Court judge.

                    Whatever the politics (and I accept there is a lot of politics involved on both sides) that is the hill in which I am sticking my flag.

                    Sadly, even though there are lots of other candidates who are equally experienced and qualified, he probably won't be disqualified. But I believe that's because of political reasons though, not because he shouldn't be.

    "Republican Sen. Ben Sasse drops a bombshell on the debate over Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court"

    * Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska gave an impassioned speech on sexual assault and the #MeToo movement on the Senate floor Wednesday night.

    * Sasse also dropped a bombshell about where he stands on Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump's second nominee to the Supreme Court.

    * "I urged the president to nominate a different individual. I urged the president to nominate a woman," Sasse said.

    * He recounted the experiences of two personal friends he said were raped, adding that the #MeToo movement has been "complicated," but also a "very good thing."

    * Then Sasse turned back to Trump: "We all know that the president cannot lead us through this time."

        Jake, It appears God did step in.. and just in time. And  I surmise Gods got plenty more for the Dems. You see Jake he Dems have gotten away with corruption, disgusting and evil for many years. Yeah, God is on their case now...  Maybe you should stop accusing JK of being a rapist, oh forgot you are a Dem...  God just may give you some of the raths he is dishing out to the Democrat party.

          Sharlee01, you're just wrong as usual, everyone understands the fact that if crazy conspiracy drinker Brett KavaNUT is confirmed tomorrow it will be the evil work of Satan because Brett exhibits all signs that he's a rotten soul nominated by this rotten soulless slug who lies and spews hate pathologically to his gullible sheep:

          This is EVIL and the inbred fools behind him laughing and cheering will meet the fate of GODS hand soon enough:

          By the way, I'm not Brett's accuser but I and millions of other rational, logical thinking individuals believe his accuser Dr Ford because she has no reason to lie and her life has been destroyed: Brett's friends and roommates say he's a liar under oath, that he is indeed a heavy drinker to the point of possibly blacking out and that's unacceptable for the supreme court but certainly acceptable for impeachment and prison:

            We need to see her records from her therapist  We also need a background check on her... I would think she has a long history of mental problems. A loner, with big problems... It's clear no one stepped up but strangers from different Dem grou[s t offer her support. No one. A loner, and most likely always was on the outside looking in. She fantasized a life that never was. Jake, it must be hard for you to always wait for 'If Comes" that just never come? JK will be confirmed. Thank you, President Trump, for choosing yet another great supreme court judge. Soon Trump will drop all the document that will put the final nail in the Dems coffin (just at the right time). Trump is uncanny that way.

                  You're partially correct Sharlee01 but misleading: Dr Ford offered to send ALL her records to the FBI, not the corrupt republican party: Would you send your records to the republicans which includes "Granny" McConnell who told his right wing nut jobs weeks prior to the hearing that Brett 'Alleged Attempted Rapist' KavaNUT would be confirmed?

                  The 'fix' was in and I and everyone else knew it: CRIMINAL:

                    Yes, I did hear that after the hearing while the 7th investigation was going on, she would provide her documents. Yes. I would have provided any and all documents wir=tneses that could cooperate my accusation before the actual hearing.  I could have then asked the committee to enter my documents to the committee so they could help verify my claim. If it were me, and I agreed to come to tell my story, I certainly would have offered up more than just a "story". My common sense tells me she should have at least offered the polygraph test that was requested. As of now, I have not been able to locate any information on her witnesses other than none of them have a memory of the night in question. I can't even locate her husband's statement?

                      It doesn't matter Sharlee01, I mean seriously, it's all moot at this point: Mega-corrupt criminal 'Granny' McConnell revealed his intent that the 'fix' was in to confirm nice little christian boy Bart 'Drunkard Alleged Attempted Rapist' KavaNUT long before the hearing with Dr Ford even began: It was a corrupt, criminal republican farce perpetrated on we the people plain and simple and now we have a lovely alleged rapist on our supreme court to go along with a Russian stooge imbecile illegitimate president:

                      Here's what "Granny' McConnell said weeks before Dr Ford said word one:

                      "US Senator Mitch McConnell is telling evangelical activists the US Senate will "plow right through" and move to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. McConnell told the annual Values Voter conference Friday "in the very near future, Judge Kavanaugh will be on the United States Supreme Court."

                    Thank you for your resources. I was aware of the four statements. Grassley did allude to three of them (not her husband) at the hearing. he stated the three were called and none could give any form of evidence to connect JK to the sexual abuse. Only that she had told them in past years of the attack, the friend she claimed attended the party, claimed to not have a memory of the event and did not know JK ?   It I unclear if the FBI talked with her friends when they did their investigations. It is also odd her attorney did not offer the statements at the hearing? They said very little?

                      So you were aware of the 4 SWORN statements -that were made public and sent to the Senate BEFORE the hearing- when you've repeatedly claimed NO ONE offered her support? Then, you've been lying?

                      Btw, it is clear the FBI didn't talked with those friends. They've said so when they listed the 10 persons they interviewed.

        "I'm having fun guys , that's all " Seriously speaking, I am glad to see that response Ed. If we can't have fun here, then why bother.

        But, just for clarity, (not that I mind being in that grouping), I doubt you will find anywhere that I was against Kavanaugh.

        Although I think it was in another Kvanaugh thread ...

        I did say his post-opening statement testimony was a problem for me, and I did say I did not think he should be confirmed, and I did say I didn't think he would be confirmed, but your listed reasons are all wrong.

        I didn't think he should be confirmed because of the damage I perceived the taint of his nomination process would do to the image of the Court. And that thought has nothing to do with his innocence or guilt. The details and opinions will soon be forgotten, but his name will forever, (well, at least for a very long time), be associated with the sexual abuse charges of his nomination. As I stated it, I considered the damage to the Court's image in the eyes of many Americans to be more important than the injustice to a single man.

        As for the confirmation vote - I was wrong. I didn't think the 'swing' Republicans had the courage to support him. Plus, I didn't anticipate a single Democrat, (Manchin), vote for confirmation.

          I am really glad that the senate panel held their ground amid all the B.S ......for once.   My suggestion , perhaps political correctness hasn't dissolved quite yet .   How'd yo like Trumps trade speech today , shutting down Kavanaugh holdover questions ?

            I do hold that the Court should represent a higher standard - the highest. I think it is the one institution of our government that we should be able to believe in. It is a truth that the judiciary is our only course of last resort.

            But anyway ...

            I heard about that judge you mentioned, but I heard he is a retired judge - no longer on the bench.

            I didn't hear Pres. Trump's speech, but, if it was as you say, then I would agree with that part. I also think it is time to stop with the questions and move on - deal with reality.
