No, I believe now that he was evasive if not down right lieing in his answers about drinking and partying when he was younger.
Hopefully, the FBI investigation will clear up all the unanswered questions..........but somehow, I doubt it.
Precisely. That's why he's so well suited to be a justice on our highest court. Because he regularly lies under oath.

The FBI is totally pissed with Trump after his shaming the FBI since his becoming president. It is very well possible that the FBI will fry the judge rather then go along with the Trump administration.

There is not enough time for a factual investigation of any type in regards to the 3 accusers. In order to show that they (the FBI) are professional and not like what Trump has painted them to be, their report must be final and clear. The report can not just muddy the water even more.

The simplest means or ways to appear professional with so little time to properly investigate is to destroy or is to impeach the guy's testimony and show where perjury occurred. I think that this is the route the FBI will take.

This will be the seventh time the FBI has investigated Kavanagh and this investigation will find exactly what the other six have found.

Dems get A+ for upsetting trumps applecart, 'leak' a 30 odd year old party encounter donated in trust to ms feinstein and swear the leaker is a mystery to them. FBI could take a lesson from dem hounds that unearthed and prompted their star witness to 'confess' to ms feinstein secure in the knowledge that her secret will be secure and she will never have to face political scrutiny. However even if the impossible does happen you will get plenty of media attention and be a #metoo star, how could she resist? Dems do not want a trump advocate on the sc and are staging a formidable challenge.
I've tried to recall personal events aged for 30 odd years and they come through as quite vague, lots of parties but definitive details evade.

Yes, but do you lie about it under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee?

On the basis of the honesty, truth, and composure I saw demonstrated on Thursday, I personally support Senate confirmation to the United States Supreme Court of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

After 30+ years of not only protecting her rapist from prosecution and allowing him to sit in judgement of others a little fib will not weigh heavily on her. Why you would support a nominee that shields a rapist from prosecution to the sc confounds.

Kavanaugh's tirade against the democrats excludes him from the set of people who might be considered unbiased.

He should not even be considered for this appointment with that attitude.

Actually she has lots of facts to back up her story. The boy that was in the room at the time wrote an interesting book called Wasted and he describes his "friend" as O'Kavanaw. (A thinly disguised name)
Two other women have come forward with similar stories (pattern of behaviour)
The committee has decided to look into the incident, so they are worried that he is not truthing.

They are worried about 5 senators not voting yes
You are questioning her sanity?? She admits to being in therapy for the traumatic effects of the event. She was traumatised. What in hell do you expect? The fact she had therapy is plus in her flavor.She managed to get her doctorate in psychology...... Not to mention that she handled the hearings with dignity, composure .......with some nervousness. Those are hi stress situations.

She was in marriage counseling when the assault claim was brought forward with 4 men no mention of Kavanaugh, was she trying to save her marriage?

You don't know what you're talking about.
We'll leave it at that.
Yes that's right Hoid. Go hide from the truth. Run to your safe space and block me again.
You still haven't answered whether not PM Groper should still be PM after admitting his guilt.

Are you of the position that any unproven criminal allegations against someone on the right-wing are absolute truth but actual facts against a lefty don't matter?

That's why I was asking if there may be some rioting yesterday.

The irony? Most women are showing more restraint today than Kavanaugh did during his testimony...and he'll be the one in charge of making decisions that will affect women's lives.

Because she's the better of the two choices.

Baloney.


The Democrats carefully and intentionally set him up in a smear campaign to destroy his reputation and his life, in a transparent attempt to prevent Republicans from elevating a man that would "protect and defend the constitution of the United States" to the SCOTUS.


They want to destroy the constitution.


That simple.


As far as I'm concerned, Kavanaugh was way too easy on them.

She is, IMHO, crazier than a loon.

What would be her motive ?? She has already been through a lot .....and going public has been hi risk....... in the cannibalistic culture of a male dominated s society. She comes across more rational than her ling accused. who put on a show for trump.......... on Trumps advice......Why would she voluntarily enter a den of vultures??.....and face death threats and having to change residences. She is not stupid....... She must have anticipated some of this reaction .....and spoke out because of principle.

Men have been getting away for crap behaviour for far too long. Look at some of the offensive crap post don here because some want to degrade her appearance...... The culture of male attitude to women has not changed that much since the incident. Those that post that....... have no respect for themselves.......let alone others........and reduce themselves to barbaric levels.

I gather you have a lot of pent up frustration regarding the male species, OB. I'll tell you something. I have five sisters and six aunts. I went to a private all-female high school. I can attest to the fact that some females will lie for their own purposes. They will invent stories for their own purposes. They will deny their own culpability and lack of personal responsibility after putting themselves in situations where they may be vulnerable. They do drink and drug to excess then blame others for their own failings.

So as you rail against 'men' without thought or care that you are blaming an entire gender for the failings of some, be careful what might come back to bite you.

Who cares if Dr. Ford hasn't aged well? In my youth I used to look like Brad Pitt on crack...now sadly, I just look like crack.
