Ya see this is what I repeatedly keep saying. Wrong is wrong and good is good but things are far to partisan these days. Admittedly I didn't follow the Kavanagh stuff as close as some but imo I don't know if he is guilty but he did give the impression he seems like a pompous jerk who thinks he is better than others.

FWIW, while the hearing was going on, I said they couldn't deny Kavanagh the SCOTUS position based on Blasey-Ford's testimony, because there was no proof. It was disappointing that there was resistance to a full blown investigation, but I doubt that a smoking gun would ever have been produced. That being said, Kavanagh's demeanor during the proceedings showed beyond any doubt, IMO, that he was unfit for the position. From giving a disingenuous interview to Faux, where he portrayed himself as a choir boy, to snapping at reasonable questions, outright lies about what he did in college and (worst IMO) promoting a conspiracy theory, claiming that the entire inquiry was "revenge, perpetrated by the Clintons". At this point, he should have been dropped and replaced by one of the other candidates on the short list, but by then, it wasn't about putting the best person on the Supreme Court, it was about rubbing it in the Democrats' noses and who cares about Christine Blasey-Ford..... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have had to find credible witnesses who actually saw the incident take place. If they had anyone like that, the process wouldn't have gotten as far as it did. The GOP knew there was no proof, so they rammed it through. The fact that it pissed off the Liberals was just a bonus on top of another nail in the coffin of Roe v Wade...

I meant if he was only nominated then withdraw the nomination and pick someone who doesn't come across as a jerk when faced with questions.

That's what Trump should have done, as soon as BK started acting like a toddler during the inquiry. There were plenty of candidates at least as well qualified. But as I said, they wanted to stick it to the Democrats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before this covid, I was thinking about doing a bit of work as an Alc rep. Filled up the garage with about 3k worth of samples. Decided not to do the job. They owed me some dough so they partially paid me by leaving the booze for me. My wife wonders why I spend so much time up in the garage working on 'projects'. It's starting to wear on me perhaps, maybe drinking just a bit too much...I have resorted to posting Trump meme's....

thedestroyerofworlds Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 So it seems that Biden wasn't at the event where the incident "When it was Biden and my aunt’s turn to say hello he quickly turned to me and asked how old I was," Murry told Law&Crime. "I replied with my age and he replied with the comment, ‘Fourteen? You’re very well endowed for 14!’” is alleged to have occurred. So strike one off of Biden's number. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dinner-organizer-says-biden-was-not-at-event-where-alleged-sexual-harassment Dinner organizer says Biden was not at 2008 event where he was accused of sexual harassment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
