Anyone else troubled by aspects of the Kavanaugh saga:

1. We are supposed to be shocked and awed by Christine Ford, and are supposed to believe everything she said, whether there is any evidence or not.

2. We are supposed to be shocked and awed, that there was horsing around at a college party and people were drinking and goofing off.

3. According to the liberal criteria, we are supposed to think that Kavanaugh is utterly disqualified from being on the Supreme Court, because of what allegedly happened when two teenagers rolled around on a bed for 30 seconds over 36 years ago. That is the only issue in his life we should consider, according to them.

4. Not satisfied with how last year’s hearing and confirmation vote went, now they want another bite at the apple. Now we are dredging up horsing around in college as a disqualifying element in someone’s life, in which that one event overrides everything else that has happened in his life.

5. And we see it doesn’t matter that the woman in this Yale incident has no memory of the alleged incident even ever taking place. That doesn’t matter to the liberals. The only thing that matters, is that, if this horsing around happened, and they assume it did, then that incident disqualifies someone from being a judge for life.

Not me DP! I don’t give an old rip what his dick was up to in 1983! Heck, I don’t care if Kavanaugh stirred her damn drinks with his Schlong!

“IT WAS 1983 WHO CARES?!?!?!?!”

As I posted earlier, even if the accusations were true (and I do not believe they are), so what? There’s just nothing to them. I would hate to see some of my teenage antics brought up in public.

Agree. To me, that is a very troubling aspect of this. With Kavanaugh, they go back to high school and college to dredge up something which is supposed to disqualify him from being a judge.

If we are going to go back to high school with everyone in public life or elective office, and say that one event someone claims happened, is enough to disqualify someone, then literally nobody could ever be elected or serve in any office.

The headline is very misleading. Here is Byron York's summary of the seven "witnesses." Plus Ramirez told her mother a couple of years after the supposed incident that "something happened." She did not name Kavanaugh nor say specifically what had happened. That is the seven.

Number 1, Ramirez's mother, based her account on four very unspecific words from her daughter 35 years ago.

Number 2, Appold, based his account on a memory of being told something by a "witness" who could not recall the incident at all.

Number 3, Wetstone, heard it from Appold.

Number 4, Oh, overheard something from someone he doesn't remember that did not connect the incident to Kavanaugh.

Number 5, Anonymous, is totally unclear.

Number 6 and Number 7, Ludington and Roche, had "vague" memories that also did not connect an unspecified incident to Kavanaugh.

For what it’s worth the book’s author named Pogrebin, was born the same year as Kavanaugh, 1965. They both attended Yale at the same time. Perhaps she has a personal vendetta.

heard about the Yale incident

In the law biz we call that hearsay, which is not admissible evidence.

When investigated everyone of these people fails the truth and reality test. Not one of them have first hand knowledge of any such activity.

None of those who were reported as being able to back this claim up actually saw anything or heard anything. In fact about half of them say they have zero memory of anything happening. The remainder say they remember hearing something about a like activity but were not told Kavanaugh had anything to do with it.

What we have here is just another left wing liar trying to tarnish Kavanaugh’s name.

Turns out they all heard from the same source. Then, the 7 of them turned around and repeated what they were told, and so it made it look like they all had heard the same thing from different sources.

RBG must be close to death and internal polling is showing a shellacking coming next year for the Democrats. it’s just too curious the fury of the crap machine this week. As an aside, I read and heard and saw on my Facebook feed more form #WalkAway. That thing is getting traction. I think Trump gets an historic amount of support form black men and white gays males this coming election. All the states last time and New Mexico and New Hampshire. Over at 11pm election.

I agree with the things you touched on there, and your thoughts on them.

I think he’s going to shock people with the Hispanic voters too.

I firmly support him going to California and holding some of his massive rallies there.

There’s a lot more support here in California for what he is doing than most people realize.

There is not going to be a big name Democrat on the ballot.

It’s going to be Trump and some fringe male/female ding-bat.

IT WAS 1983 WHO CARES?!?!?!?!

Exactly WHAT was 1983?

These allegations? The supposed event?

If the story is false, then NOTHING was 1983. It was all 2017, 2018, and 2019.

That means I care.

6: We're supposed to believe that in the mid 1980s, some dude dropped trou at a party and waved Mr. Happy around, and then some other dude grabbed his Johnson.

Seriously???

No.

Did.

Not.

Happen.

1. We must believe the victim
2. The victim doesn’t remember any such incident ever happened.
3. Don’t believe the victim this time-— believe a bunch of other people, who heard about it from a bunch of other people!
