Not a shortage of people running in the next election.

All this fear mongering is getting old.

Too late for that. They, along with the Russians, elected him president. But, Kavanaugh should feel right at home with Trump in the catbird seat.


A minor correction: Trump isn't the real Satan. More like Satan Light. Not talking weight or reflectivity. Satan wannabe and really trying. He's second worst so he has to try harder.

If you hadn't noticed, he was confirmed to the supreme court, so his high school behavior did NOT affect his job prospects. And honestly, if he had just been candid about it "I drank a lot, I was a stupid teenager that did stupid teenager things, and I don't remember everything I did wrong"...we probably wouldn't even be talking about it. Instead he tries to sell himself as some sort of choir boy. Just own your teenage stupidity.

But FWIW, yes, actual regular people can cause themselves problems with the things they post on social media that lasts forever, even when young and stupid.

What is actually the most sad is that his actual **current** behavior under oath (lying, throwing a tantrum) didn't matter either, thus cheapening the Supreme Court of the United States.

Can you imagine if you acted like that at your job interview?? Who would EVER hire someone who behaves like that at a freakin' job interview??

I'd say it likely triggered that rage-crying we saw.

I mean, I was wild too. But then again, I KNOW I was and that was just one of many reasons why I new I would never want to run for office.

I could - but who wants their past coming back to haunt them?

And . . it often does.
