    It is neither an opinion nor a lie. It is a misstatement of the fact. I said an opinion can't be a lie. Your example isn't an opinion.

    I'm pretty sure.... Interesting. You ask me for a link and you back up your counter argument with I'm pretty sure. How many people at the party is not relevant.
    You can wonder about motivation all you want. Let me know what you come up with. No, I have no personal knowledge of Kavanaugh but regardless, the argument is sound and your "dismissal" of it is a cheap dodge.

    They are supposed to sit there and take the abuse like Bush did.....I guess. Good for Trump for hitting back.

    Why? A woman makes an accusation from an event 30+ years ago. She can't remember where it happened, when it happened, how she got there or how she got home.........and the witnesses she named said it never happened. If that happened to you should you be turned down for a job?

    Yep, she should've kept quiet. She had no valid case. Even if she did tell the truth.

    None of the others who came forward after the fact were anymore credible in their accusations. Some were even worse than Christine Ford in terms of credibility.

    Then why tell it? She could/should be up on charges of lying to the FBI.

    As could any individual who alleges domestic violence against a partner out of spite.

    I didn't learn anything from your post,

    FYI, I said: "I'm pretty sure that she testified that there were three people in the room", because I'm too polite to have said: "She said that there were three people in the room, you *******".

    I doubt she lied. She just had no proof, period.

    Well, we know one made up the whole thing but the others were not checked at all. Don't see you complaining about the FBI being used for political purposes now. Why is that?

    As could any individual who alleges sexual assault against another person for political purposes. Problem here is he resigned and admitted it. He should have been charged and because he confessed shown some leniency.

    Because the FBI being politicized is not relevant to the discussion about the media being untrustworthy for choosing to promote a political narrative at the expense of facts.

    Yes I believe her because she didn't just come out of the woodworks on this and she didn't have to put herself thru the humiliation yet she did.

    Oh, I see, the FBI can only be politicized when it appears to be against the right. The media didn't promote any narrative at the expense of facts.

    There are no facts, absolutely none, that would prove conclusively Donald Trump became president of the united states due to meddling on the part of the nation of Russia. Yet such is the narrative being presented by the media.
