The left criticized him and said he showed no emotion, no anger, no righteous indignation at being falsely accused blah....blah...….blah. The leftist talking heads couldn't spit the new talking points out fast enough.

It doesn't matter what Kavanaugh says...….it never did.

You're right people are sick of this bull.

Straight truth here....

Right.

Honestly, I find these cousins of mine hard to believe but whatever. I don't chastise them, though I would if any of them ever had the gall to accuse my father of it, or my grandfather. So far, they've had the presence of mind to keep their names out of it, around me anyway.

But all these uncles? Surely with all that going on all around me as a kid, I would have noticed SOMETHING amiss. The cousins would have said SOMETHING to me during that time, or at least before we were all in our fifties, wouldn't ya think?

It's just odd to me.

Dems don't like facts......

Maybe. He almost certainly lied under oath when describing his drinking/blackout history. Whether that is enough to remove him from the bench remains to be seen.

Did you care back then? It's still a life time appointment....
If his performance was in response to a trial, he made the worst witness ever. Ask any lawyer about witnesses like him, they try to keep them off the stand.

As this was not a trial but a job interview, he had no choice.

And it is even a sadder fact that the vast majority of women do not lie about such things, and that powerful men like Kavanaugh (if he is guilty) have been getting away with this crap forever.

He clearly stated that his freshman year room mate had it out for him....so, is it a lie? or just more BS from the left?

I can accept why a woman won't go to law enforcement, particularly a 15 year-old in 1982. I have a harder time believing Ford didn't tell any of her friends about what she claims happened. Not even a vague reference such as be careful if you're around Brett and Judge. Not even a reference to the incident in college or later years when she must have had discussions with other women about physical and sexual safety.
