    I don't think he was or is 'rapey' Brett. I am warming to the point of view that on least one occasion (Ford) he was a dickhead inebriated idiot who behaved appallingly.

    I appreciate your recognition of Clinton's depravity, but when you vote for the (alleged) lesser of two evils, you still get evil.

    That's entirely unacceptable, and rewards evil.

    It encourages evil.

    And the Democrats set that evil up in fixing the game for Clinton, and then threatening and shaming those who said that she - the most justifiably reviled US politician since Nixon - was not someone they could vote for.

    And the shaming, bullying and hypocrisy continue; they're neverending.

    Of course the entire process is an utter sham - as the destruction of Sanders revealed.

    The aristocracy controls everything, and the People have no power.

    The illusion of choice & all that.

    But try not to buy into the hysteria over Trump; it's just a lib/Dem smokescreen to conceal culpability on the part of one of the two criminally corrupt conservative wings of the same useless Republicrat/Demublican party.

    Ultimately it's all a complete sham, and Clinton not a lesser evil than Trump, but merely a different evil.

    A vampire rather than a wolfman.

    A meaningless distinction and an utter sham.

    Sadly, this equally applies to both parties.

    Both are entirely depraved.

    Try not to buy into non-existent distinctions.

    I agree but that was the choice (forgetting others who had zero chance.)

    Kavanaugh isn't the right stuff for Supreme Court Justice... and he knows it.

    She is probably going to end up being investigated for instigating bogus charges; oh and because she actually conspired with the Dem Party leadership to 'get' Kavanaugh for political purposes.

    Huh? What charges have been 'instigated?' Where is your evidence of conspiracy with anyone to 'get' Kavanaugh?

    I should have added.....who cares? You cannot escape from the fact that Bart O'Kavanaugh lied under oath to the Senate.

    He is miles ahead of Kagan and Sotomayar. The most qualified candidate available. He knows that he is the best in the business that's why he didn't withdraw. I wish him and his family the best of luck in the future.
    By the way, the Supreme court needs a fighter, he didn't crumble under the liberal media pressure, disgusting all-out assault on him and his family based on zero evidence. Elections have consequences. Trump is your president. For heaven's sake, get over it.

    Donald Trump lied to his Republican base and thought they were so stupid they would believe it, according to Jared Kushner.

    Mr Kushner, a property developer who is both President Trump’s senior advisor and son-in-law, reportedly made the remarks after he was challenged about Mr Trump’s prolonged interrogation over whether Barack Obama was born in the US.

    I really don't need to read all that. The entire Planet knows that Trump personally is a grub and the USA made him POTUS.

    If you can show us, why not go ahead and show us?

    One thing about background checks is that they always focus immediately on alcohol & drug use. Everyone who knows you gets asked about your usage. Of course they also look for convictions, infidelity, your credit & finances; basically anything anyone could use to manipulate or blackmail you. Seven such investigations have turned up so little that Kavanaugh was entrusted with the nuclear football.

    But apparently some posters know better. The fact that the question was even raised, is proof that Kavanaugh was a falling-down drunk while graduating first in his class at Yale, and then first in his class at Yale Law School, and lied continuously throughout his confirmation hearing. I didn't graduate first in my class, but I'm smart enough to recognize an absurd claim when I see it.

    No the only thing that bothers me about Judge Kavanaugh is how often he agrees with Merrick Garland. ;)

    From your link: "Either way, it can be hard to impossible for a bystander, or even the inebriated person, to know when it has happened..." (a blackout).

    Exactly.

    A person is "blackout" drunk when they are drunk but awake, but later, they can't remember what they did. Unless the person tells someone later that they can't remember what happened, only the drunk person himself knows if this "blackout" happened or not. You can be completely inebriated but not experience a blackout too. It is perfectly possible to be really drunk and still remember everything. Most adults know this from personal experience.

    When I was a young man I got really, really drunk once. The room I was in was spinning, and I vomited multiple times. Terrible experience. All I wanted to do at the point was for the room to stop spinning, the vomiting to stop, and to go to sleep. I did go to sleep finally, woke up in the morning in the same place I fell asleep, and experienced a horrible hangover for hours.

    But I remember all of it. Every minute. So I'm sure I looked really, really drunk. 35 years later, if a friend said I was "blackout drunk" he would be right that I looked extremely drunk. But he would be wrong if he said I blacked out. Nope. Not a chance because I remember all of it, and I know I didn't go out an commit some crime either. Hell, I could barely stand up, much less go out and commit some crime.

    This whole "blackout" question is, of course, to imply that Kavanaugh doesn't remember assaulting Ford. But Kavanaugh says he never experienced a blackout which is perfectly plausible, and no one can say that he did. They can say he was drunk. They have zero knowledge, however, that he ever experienced a blackout ... which is what your link says as well.

    How did they know he had loss of memory? That's what a blackout is - loss of memory. Or did they just mean he was really drunk?

    As I said in my comment, I was very, very drunk 43 years ago one time. Extremely drunk. But there was no memory loss from that night. None.

    Even the OP's article he linked to says that "it can be hard to impossible for a bystander, or even the inebriated person, to know when it has happened..." (a blackout).

    So how do they know?

    Perhaps Bart O'Kavanaugh blacked out so often he couldn't remember drinking and thought he was a teetotaller.

    It is despicable what you liberals are alleging at this man....And if that isn't enough, after literally months on end of you people telling us we were attacking the FBI because of their corrupt leadership, here in this case you people are actually attacking the FBI rank and file....
