It seems this McClean lady, former FBI, is up to her nose in this.
Is it possible that Dr. Ford really is a little weak pawn being used by this McClean?
If some of what Axxlrod points out in post #3798 is not a coincidence....I doubt she is a weak little pawn.

They should confirm him. I can't think of a better symbol to represent the current times and this place in history.

Funny how quickly things change....
LOL.


You're at least the 5th person to take issue with my post.

I said they should confirm him. I don't know what you're all so uptight about.

And everything I said is true. He is white, he is male, he is angry, he is over-privileged, he is hyper-partisan and he has denied everything. He's exactly like Trump. Perfect right? You guys should be happy.

If you don't like any of the traits I stated, pick someone else.

Wouldn't one have to take a long look into their past to see what/if there's an axe to grind here? Wouldn't one have to look back and see if they're part of #resist?

I mean, to be fair and all (I know that's a foreign idea to y'all)...

They have been losing for so long, I don't think they know how to win with any grace or decorum.

Uptight....Not at all. I just enjoy watching the left continually prove what many of us think.
Personally, I think he should have withdrawn and Trump could have nominated one of his four female SCOTUS picks, maybe Amy Barrett.
Then again, I forget, all this isn't really about BK and whether he should or shouldn't be nominated, it's all about the timing.

That may be, but the world is watching ChucklebucketsSchumer more closely now and there will be no blue wave nor a pink wave.

As far as quitting drinking, that's really easy.

All you gonna do is bend your elbow.

That's right. Thought Trumps rally in Joe's state with Morrissey's big fat mouth flappin was horrible timing.

Me neither. It was his lying under oath and his appalling display of partisanship, the threats to get even, that turned me off. He should have come clean on being a drunken punk in college. His supporters would not have cared - as you attest - and he would not have committed a felony on his way to the bench.

His drinking buddy and millions of others who oppose Kavanaugh have zero connection with the FBI. Is that supposed to mean, in your mind, that the people mentioned do Not have connections to the DOJ and worked together to shape the Ford allegations ?


If you think he lied about his drinking, and that's a good reason to oppose him, fine. I wouldn't oppose any nominee based on their possibly understating, minimizing, lying about, if you want to call it that, excessive drinking in HS and college.
