she can do that with the state of Maryland, if they want to take the police report.....this was NEVER a federal crime, not in 1982 or now.




if this is not a criminal investigation like Democrats say, then the FBI is a delay tactic.........they say this about the character of the judge, then she has to testify in the Senate, she is the accuser of his character....if she doesn't then the Senate has to move on.

So you're completely on board with an FBI investigation that would totally exonerate Kavanaugh...right?
How do you prove or disprove something with NO EVIDENCE? She took her shot with that letter. She put in all she knows, all the evidence she has and if one is honest, it doesn't amount to a hill of beans. NOBODY in the real world would be investigated over what she's put up/out. Given that, why should Kavanaugh?
Y'all better hope you're never accused of something like he's been accused of and in the same manner.

Just admit it already, you want Kavanaugh removed from consideration, and like many others will do ANYTHING up to and including destroying him to get it...

He has a federal judge’s salary of $220,600 a year.

His wife works part-time, earning $66,000 a year job as the town manager in their village of 225 homes. Sweet gig, eh?

So on a combined income of $286,600/year, they are able to live in a million dollar fixer upper, send their kids to private schools, buy season tickets to the Washington Nationals, afford membership in an exclusive golf club, ...

Something doesn't add up here.

Well since that's already been background checked by the FBI, they clearly didn't find anything that presents a risk to national security in his finances.

Besides, its well known that his parents are wealthy ……….don't know about hers. But, likely at least his parents are gifting him money which is no one's business except theirs.

If Judge Kavanaugh had a predatorial nature, there would be a lot more than a single (Democratic party donating) person complaining.

I don't doubt that he was fresh, possibly even somewhat aggressive. Famous people with a more serious sexual aggression problem face more than one complainant. Cosby and Weinstein faced dozens of accusers. Dozens. Weinstein was openly operating until 2017. With clear help from Oprah Winfrey I may add.

Are most people perfect these days? I used to be very social and seem to remember a human race that was less than perfect. Surely I must be wrong. So very wrong.

what are you the IRS?.........trial by allegations and innuendos......the new playbook from the left.






by the way, you can say the same thing about most politicians in D.C., how can they live how they do with just their salaries in government.




let start with the Clintons......came in government not rich and left multi-millionaires and with a foundation worth billions......that!!!!! doesn't add up.

Whatever happened about the huge number of baseball tickets he was buying? Was he reselling them at a profit? He claims he was “giving” them to his friends.

If an investigation will only take 2-3 weeks tops, why is the GOP so hell bent on it not happening? Mid terms are still 48 days away....what's another 7-14 days to get to the bottom of these sexual allegations with a full FBI led investigation?

Here's the dirtly little truth no one wants to mention.



Bush ordered the FBI to investigate the Anita Hill claims back in the days when the DOJ worked for and supported the President and FBI officials kept their political opinions to themselves. The investigation took 3 days.



Today, we have an FBI that despises Trump and has opposed him since he became the party nominee. We have FBI officials making political statements and emails from agents saying he must be stopped. If given the chance to open an investigation on this, they will sit on it for months to ensure that Kavanaugh never gets confirmed.

And why don't you give a damn?
Because they DON'T really matter. You've bought into the B.S. line that they'd shed some kind of spotlight on how he'd rule. ****NEWSFLASH**** There's been many a judge appointed to a bench because of what/how the people THOUGHT they'd rule and then SURPRISE they didn't rule that way at all.

People change over time, that's a fact of life. They also change when presented with power,stress and the fates of millions of people on their shoulders which make their previous thoughts of little use...

I'm exposing them for the ruthless, nasty people they are. They are all basically trying to force this woman's sexual assault accusations to be swept under the rug and not investigated.

They're embarrassing themselves and don't even realize it. I'd say I'm two steps ahead of most Trump supporters here, but considering the education level of the average Trump supporter, that ain't saying much.
