I was angry, so I pushed the nuke button. I retract my intentions though.

Wow, and there are still people in here that won't get over it. These women lied. So yea, it's time to move on. Oh, but he raised his voice some during the hearing, so he's unfit. The lengths the Dems will go for power is disgusting. I hope to God they don't take the House. Fortunately, even if they do, it won't be a huge blue wave giving them a super majority. And Dems in more right leaning districts won't be jumping on board with this insanity, either out of principle or to keep their jobs.



And we are led to believe that false claims aren't common and if a woman says she was rapped then it must be true.

About a month ago we had a singer in Brazil accusing Vice President candidate of having tortured him during military regime in Brazil. Even though the VP candidate was still 16 years old at the occasion (and would only join army several years later). But again we are led to believe the person wouldn't ever forget someone who made such a heinous act. So did the guy lied that he was ever tortured or just that this person was the perpetrator?

Studies indicate false claims happen between 2-10%. I'd call that not common. You found an instance where it happened and tossed out another one and you want to use that to make claims about overall trends. Do you even math, bro?

I've linked that stat several times already.  They will ignore it....again.

I don't even mind disagreeing with the stat, but can we at least agree on how math works? "I found two examples and thus I think this instance is statistically common" or "The polls said Trump most likely wouldn't win and he did so now stats are all worthless" is just not how math works. If we can't even agree on that we're doomed from the start.

You have evidence to say 1 woman lied, not all of them.

And I think you mean the lengths the Republicans will go to for power, such as refusing to hold SC hearings until they control the White House, enacting laws that suppress votes of people likely to vote for their opponents, half-assing a federal investigation that might discredit someone in their ranks, saying they'll lock up thee Dems presidential nominee (if they were so convinced she was a crook, why didn't they get a Muller on her?), reducing the SC vote majority to just 51 when even after all their games they still can't get their way.

I could go on.

Are the Dems perfect? Of course not. I think many of them campaign to impeach Trump now as a way of grandstanding, and it doesn't matter to them if he did actually committed an impeachment offence. But don't pretend the Republicans are saints.

He still isn't fit for the supreme court. He was angry and shouting like crazy. I wouldn't want that for my supreme court justice. Just an outsider's perspective who's neither democrat not republican and as impartial as possible.

I wonder how you'd react if your life was about to be ruined and your family's lives were threatened by political agenda and false and unproven allegation.  Let's not cherry pick the high emotional responses brought upon under ill circumstances over the years of impeccable service.



Then there's this...

Senate Judiciary Republicans say no evidence found to support accusations against Kavanaugh

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee late Saturday released a 414-page report in which the panel members say they found no supporting evidence for any of the allegations of sexual misconduct made against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh ahead of his confirmation.

"Committee investigators spoke with 45 individuals and took 25 written statements relating to the various allegations made in the course of the #SCOTUS confirmation process," the Senate Judiciary Committee tweeted Saturday.

"In neither the committee's investigation nor in the supplemental background investigation conducted by the FBI was there ANY evidence to substantiate or corroborate any of the allegations."

The committee investigators "found no verifiable evidence that supported" Christine Blasey Ford's allegation that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed in the early 1980s and attempted to remove her clothes while covering her mouth with one hand.

"The witnesses that Dr. Ford identified as individuals who could corroborate her allegations failed to do so, and in fact, contradicted her," the report notes.

It also states that committee investigators "found no verifiable evidence" to support Deborah Ramirez's claim that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party when they were both at Yale.

The report additionally dismisses allegations from Julie Swetnick, forwarded by lawyer Michael Avenatti.

"Indeed, the evidence appears to support the position that Julie Swetnick and Mr. Avenatti criminally conspired to make materially false statements to the Committee and obstruct the Committee’s investigation," the report writes.

Avenatti and Swetnick have both been referred to the Department of Justice for potential criminal investigations into their behavior during Kavanaugh's confirmation process. Avenatti has been referred a second time.

In addition, the report details that investigators were also unable to locate supporting evidence for the several anonymous accusations against Kavanaugh, noting that one of the accusers has been referred for a criminal investigation.

Kavanaugh passionately denied all of the allegations against him and was ultimately confirmed after a brutal confirmation fight on Oct. 6 by a vote largely down party lines.

Joe Biden was the first person to argue that no SC should be nominated in an election year.

Democrats were the ones who enacted or put into place the 51 votes rule instead of the classic 60 rule.
