Brett Kavanaugh - Interest & Discussion - Page 42 - Politics and Economics

This is an L for the GOP considering there are any number of people that can play the role Kavanaugh is intended to play (rule in favor of stuff that helps rich people). In their desire to derisk the nomination by shoving Kavanaugh through, they are going to have to live with putting a binge-drinking would-be rapist on the SCOTUS.

I can assure you that not a single one of them has lost sleep over Clarence Thomas' Scalia-parroting ass being on the court and they'll get over Kavanaugh too once the press quits stopping them in the hallway to ask about him. You cannot shame people who don't know shame.

Well there's got to be a solid chance that over the next 6-12 months that more women will come forward all the while he's already on the SCOTUS.

Or he can be on the court if he agrees to be sexually assaulted by a drunken frat boy on camera and under oath.

Pretty sure that this is already part of the Yale admission process.

All these three named women coming forward. If I've learned anything from three named men, one of them HAS to be a serial killer

The dude obviously did it. There is like a 2% chance he was blacked out and doesn’t remember, but he absolutely not only did this one thing but almost certainly did lots of things of the variety we assume entitled preppy POS kids like this do.

It's heartening that women who knew her are willing to step up to defend Ford even when they know they'll get trashed for it. Also disappointing that men aren't stepping up, when they damn well know what kind of **** he was. Maybe some will, hopefully before the GOP has their way with us all.

The video of him saying glad what happens at (school name) stays at.. is not good for him either

If I was so adamant that I was innocent take the lie detector test like she did.

According to sources, several factors are at play. White House advisers are worried that more damaging information about Kavanaugh could come out. Two sources told me the White House has heard rumors that Ford’s account will be verified by women who say she told it to them contemporaneously. People worry, without apparent evidence, of another Ronan Farrow bomb dropping. One source says Ivanka Trump has told her father to “cut bait” and drop Kavanaugh.

Seems dubious that Ivanka knows what 'bait' is
