To review:

1. Kavanaugh's accuser is now on the record: Her name is Christine Blasey Ford

2. Ford has offered a detailed account of sexual assault by Kavanaugh

3. Ford's account corroborated by therapists notes from 2012

4. Ford passed a polygraph test by former FBI agent

Naturally, wingnut media will now smear this poor woman, and Whell and his idiot deplorable pals will cheer them on.

I don't think this stops Kavanaugh by itself. Would take a dead girl or a live boy.

Or a couple more credible assault accusers at least....

Kavanaugh Accuser Is Willing to Testify While White House Stands Firm

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...d?srnd=premium

GOP Senators Bob Corker and Jeff Flake joined Democrats late Sunday in seeking to delay a crucial committee vote set for Thursday so lawmakers can further examine the allegations after the Washington Post published a detailed account from the accuser. Days earlier Kavanaugh had seemed on track for quick approval.

The argument or take I have on this subject is this. Yes it was long ago when he was much younger. He is showing his true character by not admitting it happening in some fashion. Then using the differences in recollection. If it happen once my guess there will be others.

Donald Trump Jr mocks Kavanaugh accuser with vile, nonsensical meme

What a dick. No doubt a hero to Whell and his fellow Trumpkins.

More than likely there will others.
A rapist usual have many episodes.

And let us not forget what happened to Al Franken, an elected position on a six year cycle. Kavanaugh is a lifetime appointment and every due diligence is warranted.

Looks like another woman has come forward. She's saying Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a drinking game. https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-...eborah-ramirez

Michael Avenatti is claiming a third. Keep pushing McConnell and Grassley, there's going to be 'Pink Tsunami' in addition to the Blue wave in November.

RNC Blasts Kavanaugh Accuser for Working ‘Toward Human Rights’

Sigh.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...an-rights.html

Though she told the New Yorker she was not “politically motivated” to share her story, the RNC presented other details that, they think, call this into question. Specifically, that Ramirez is a registered Democrat and that she “works toward human rights, social justice, and social change.”

In this context, working toward “human rights, social justice, and social change” is a negative quality. The RNC is suggesting that a dedication to such things inherently puts one at odds with the GOP. We already knew that, of course, but it’s nice to see the RNC admit it.

Good one! Passed along.... :)

...and then there was five. :(

Well, Lindsey Graham put on quite a show. No doubt showing his new pal Donny that he's the "right" fit for Jeffy Sessions' job. I've lost all respect for this ass.

'The Editors: It is time for the Kavanaugh nomination to be withdrawn'

An issue I have not seen raised would be the medical vetting of Kavanaugh. I am no doctor or anything, but the marked involuntary tongue movements and repetitive grimacing Kavanaugh showed during some stressful moments in his testimony led me to do a little searching, and it seems possible that these are symptoms of a neurological disorder and/or a drug reaction.

^^^ good one

An excellent summary report in The Guardian:

Kavanaugh Classmate Tears Into His ‘Blatant Lying’: I’ve Witnessed Him ‘Stumbling Drunk’

Jeff Flake lives up to his name. What a flake.

Senator Patrick Leahy

I think that it is much healthier to commit suicide than to live in the Perverted States of America.

Being willing to make whatever changes are necessary, rather than being overwhelmed by despair is a better alternative to a permanent ineffective response to a transitory challenge.

Classic Christian doctrine holds despair as a sin. While I personally believe in neither Christianity nor sin, I still see the moral wisdom in this.

Only if one believes "sin" to be inherent and involuntary.
Despair is involuntary, ones' reaction to it may or may not be. The difficulty resisting a self-destructive response is the issue.

Yeah, she was cool with Bill.

Throughout history it has been shown good people are need to be around to repair the acts of the bad. These times will not last forever.
Not all will be willing to be "Dead not Red" to coin a old term. But rather staying alive to fight the good fight.
Even in your homeland there were those who were not willing participants. Choose life to survive and help to rebuild after a very dark period in history.

This will pass.

And how bad is this time?

Different times, different circumstances, but it is about a breakdown of systemic checks and balances by consolidation of powers to an authoritarian leader.

I don't remember a time when blatant open and unashamedly Obstruction of Justice is seen as being normal by one party. Where staying in power outweighs the country interests.



Barney

The checks and balances seem to be working. This admin does not appear to have a free hand.

Lets say an authoritarian wannabee.

Staying in power is the supreme interest of any of the parties.

Lets look at the plus.
The press is still powerful.

The military still functions in a non partisan manner.

There is no major upheaval and the ruling party does not control the streets.

The political system, process is robust.

Every time Ford and Kavanaugh dodged a question, in one chart

Kavanaugh's angry and highly partisan diatribe shows he's definitely not qualified to be an impartial jurist. His evasive answers and non-answers to a very large number of the questions, his combative and disrespectful attitude towards United States Senators is surely disqualifying. He's completely unlike Neil Gorsuch, who several Dems voted for. He, like Clarence Thomas, will forever have an asterisk after his name when confirmed.

Kavanaugh's college friends say he lied under oath about drinking

This guy is, like Donny, a serial liar.
