Supreme Court Justice Kennedy to Retire

[Zombie]

Kavenaugh's choir boy act finally makes sense to me. It was a little strange that he wouldn't have just admitted to being heavy drinker in his youth, after all the religious right loves nothing more than a good redemption story, see George W Bush for example.

Now I see that he couldn't admit to it because that would involve admitting there would be many periods of time he would be unable to account for due to getting too drunk. There's a common thread throughout each of these allegations--copious amounts of alcohol use.

What he didn't count on (which he should have seen coming, really) is that there are many, many witnesses who can attest to his heavy drinking during his college and high school years. His own yearbook tells a different tale than he has tried to spin.

Setting aside the importance of believing women, which I understand is a really difficult thing for many on the right, he has damned himself with his own self righteous words.

Remember when Obama joked that Michelle didn't go all the way down on Ellen DeGeneris?.

A joke about sexual assault, another about consensual oral sex. See the difference?

I don't remember **** about Republicans bringing up Hillary's defense of Bills sexual misconduct. I remember BNGHAZIIIIIIIIII and email servers and Vince Foster. Republicans were not focused on the sexual abuse angle, at all.

They brought up Bill Clinton's behavior a lot. Hillary's accommodations, not so much.

So why do y'all believe Juanita Broaddrick?

Are you really gunna be partisan about rape? Really?

Umm, you are aware that this argument goes both ways, right? Anyone who is stunned that people are partisan is not paying attention. You might also want to check the evidence Juanita Broaddrick presented in comparison to this case.

Sorry that I did not find an exact parallel for you. I also apologize that one was told by a president and the other by a congressman.

These threads are like an echo chamber. It’s actually quite amusing.

You live a sheltered life if you think this an Echo Chamber of any sort.

Obama released his birth certificate. Twice.

When he released his long form birth certificate it ended the controversy, so good job proving JustTheTip's point.

You really don't have to apologize for your inability to understand the difference between a rape joke and a sex joke, although it does make one wonder if you know the difference between sex and rape in other instances...

Except, it didn't. I heard birther's complain it was a fake. People posted about supposed evidence it was not "original". Trump had investigators in Hawaii until late 2015/early 2016.

Can you avoid saying untrue things?

It's worth pointing out that by no means did the majority of Americans engage in Birtherism.

I don't think it was Obama's responsibility to release his birth certificate at all. It acknowledged that the birther nuts deserved a reply. It did not end the controversy, people just altered the birther fantasy by saying the birth certificates were fake. Trump said he had investigators in Hawaii, and that "you won't believe" what they are finding out. He never elaborated. Because he could not elaborate. I always thought Obama should have just laughed and allowed the birthers to soak in their own conspiratorial stew. They still exist, they still believe Obama is not a native born American. It was so obviously racially motivated, Obama did not owe them the time of day.

Seems like there's enough information circulating at this point to doubt Kavanaugh.


Can't wait to see how the Rapepublican Senators spin this.

This is what I call evidence. If her claim that she can identify other people who will corroborate is true then this is game over, as it should be.
