B.S Shumer and other dems came out as SOON AS Kav's name was announced that they would STOP his taking a seat on the Court NO MATTER WHAT, LONG before any "hearings were held.

Which makes this perjury charge against Kavanaugh, all that more ridiculous.



as if the dems pulled out all the stops to deny Kavanaugh's appointment, except for this..

SHE said UNDER OATH they WERE THERE and ALL DENY IT.
But, but it feels good to just take her word for it and demonize the man.
Hmmmm. This entire episode reminds of something in history. The Salem Witch hunts. Evidence was important then either.

Me too (no, not that one). But C-D believes in strict equality - Everybody Wins idealism.

I really wish they allowed Green UP and Red Down arrows for EVERY Post!

I read this senator whose daughter is marrying on saturday said he had made arrangements to get there to vote "if they need him" to vote on Saturday.

we may have a dramatic helicopter ride by this senator being swept into the senate to cast his vote....a fitting finish to this saga if that happens.

Haha, same here! This whole thing is almost funny but not quite - so personally I think we need to make it funny so we don't burst into tears at what our country has become.

The evolution of this story.
Kavanaugh is a rapist
Kavanaugh is SCOTUS like
Kavanaugh lied under oath
Now we have posters saying it was a job interview. LMAO you just can't make this up.

The funny thing is I really didn't care if Kavanaugh was selected. I just dont want another Sotomayer. Now after what the dems pulled I would love to see them eat some crow.

The same can happen with lessons we learn from all this. I think the midterms will hugely important in deciding
which direction we want our country headed in

I agree with you on this. I read something yesterday where a woman's husband went to change his party affiliation. When he walked in the lady behind the counter said that many are changing from democrat to either Independent or Republican. So it could be a bit of a sign of what is to come.

No. haha! The democrats have done a fine job of this over the last couple of weeks.

As for your link, a little story. I was at a friends place, had 2 drinks. The next day her husband said I had a few shots and still drove home. He was 3 sheets to the wind as was she. I laughed along with another friend of ours. We both told them that I had 2 drinks and was perfectly fine to go home since the last drink I had was 2 hours before I left. My point is this: how can someone around him who is also drinking say he was intoxicated if they themselves could be also?
