There is no skiing in July.

However, there is brewski.

Is this the party where the Ford incident happened?

All the male parties claimed by Ford are present and July is Summer as she claims.
Yeah, there is. It's called water skiing.

Sad. I can't help but wonder if the guy was too drunk to remember anything. Would be nice if he was more honest about and said something like, "Yes I did those things when I was really drunk at some high school parties. I'm ashamed I did them and apologize to anyone I hurt." He would probably be better off doing that than trying to deny everything.

All her allegations can no more be proven false than true.
They could be proven one way or the other if a proper investigation were done.

Trump starts hearing or thinking 'loser' and Kavanaugh gets kicked to the curb.

Trump would rather do that than look like a 'loser.' Though he demands loyalty from everyone, he gives it to nobody. He'll cut and run without a second thought.

Don't count on Trump's support--ever (unless your name is Ivanka).
If Trump pulls Kavanaugh's nomination, guess who is next up?

Lisa Barrat, who is way more right-wing conservative than BK. But she's a woman. Guess the Dem's will have to think harder about what lies to pin on her.

You realize that her perjuring herself would do a whole hell of a lot more damage in her life than losing a security clearance, right? Like maybe jail.

My father is a lawyer and has told me he has inside info that she was a wild child when younger and that there may be nude photos of her out there. That seems to be about the extent of it to what he’s been told

New allegation from a woman in Colorado

Quote:
According to an anonymous complaint sent to Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, Kavanaugh physically assaulted a woman he socialized with in the Washington, D.C., area in 1998 while he was inebriated.

The sender of the complaint described an evening involving her own daughter, Kavanaugh and several friends in 1998.

“When they left the bar (under the influence of alcohol) they were all shocked when Brett Kavanaugh, shoved her friend up against the wall very aggressively and sexually.”

“There were at least four witnesses including my daughter.” The writer of the letter provided no names but said the alleged victim was still traumatized and had decided to remain anonymous herself.

I have seen people do all kinds of things that caused them to get jail time. In fact, there are millions of people in prison or have been, it is not even unusual.

Isn’t the vote “informed consent” of the senate? If the senate doesn’t consent, all they have to do is vote him down. It seems like he want’s to get consent to give consent.
