    Hey Democrats, remember arguing that lying under oath about something as inconsequential as a blow job was just not that big a deal?

    Hey Republicans, remember when Kavanaugh argued that Bill Clinton should be impeached for lying about a blowjob, and then you impeached him?

    Go back and read it again. Kavanaugh learned from friends that Ramirez was asking others in their common circle about him. He was quoted as denying the claim she made IN THE NEW YORKER PIECE. For him to have denied it, of course he heard about it before it was published. The authors asked him about it.

    @charlescwcooke
    The NBC story accusing Kavanaugh of perjury has been updated—without any note, or acknowledgement of that fact—and now includes a reference to the full September 25th testimony that flatly contradicts the claim being made. And yet NBC is still pushing it.

    Dear libbies,

    We hope you enjoyed Thursday morning.

    Before we confirm Justice Kavanaugh with 53-55 aye votes, we’d like to have just a little bit of fun at your expense.

    FBI: Were you at the party?

    Judge: What party?

    FBI: Good point, thank you for your time.

    OK. You caught us. The entire 2017 calendar year was at your expense.

    Dear, we’re afraid if we delay the vote any longer you might not be alive to cast yours.

    “Hey Democrats, remember arguing that lying under oath about something as inconsequential as a blow job was just not that big a deal?”

    Actually, it was a very big deal, but very soon seen in a different light when his accusers turned out to be nothing but a bunch of moral degenerates.

    Rather than be repelled by the moral degeneracy that was revealed two decades ago, the GOP eventually embraced it. Now you have a party led by people who grab pussy, molest 14 year-old high school cheerleaders and gang-rape prep-school girls. And that’s not to even mention what you freaks are doing to farm animals and those poor, hapless immigrant children!

  11. 11

    Ramirez provided FBI with names of 20 corroborating witnesses.
    FBI punts because STAND DOWN!

  12. 12

    Mark Judge’s ex-girlfriend also has information for the FBI:

    “Rasor recalled that Judge had told her ashamedly of an incident that involved him and other boys taking turns having sex with a drunk woman.”

    But again, right now is not a good time for the FBI to investigate your gang rape because STAND DOWN!

    Meanwhile, the late Brig. Gen. Paul W. Tibbets’ grandson is getting tossed out of the Air Force for misconduct. Tibbets was the pilot of the Enola Gay when it dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima.

    In other military news, Ronald Schurer, of Puyallup, Washington, received the Medal of Honor yesterday for heroism as an Army medic in Afghanistan 10 years ago. The medal is an upgrade from the Silver Star awarded to him at the time. Schurer currently works as a Secret Service agent assigned to the White House detail.

    Also, John Canley, 80, a black Marine veteran of the 1968 Tet fighting in Hue City, will receive the Medal of Honor for rescuing wounded Marines under fire during the battle.

    @4 Okay, I went back and read it again, and this is what it still says:

    “SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE: When did you first hear of Ms. Ramirez’s allegations against you?

    “KAVANAUGH: In the last — in the period since then, the New Yorker story [published on Sept. 23].”

    You: “of course he heard about it before it was published”

    Now, exactly how do you reconcile that with his testimony? And you call me a moron …

    That neighing coming from the barn is laughter.

    “If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., wants the Senate to wrap up its consideration of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh this week, he probably won’t be able to wait for the FBI to do the same. … Asked later in the day how long he would give senators to read and digest the FBI’s report on Kavanaugh before moving to a full Senate floor vote, McConnell downplayed the time lawmakers would need. ‘It shouldn’t take long,’ he said.”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/fbi-has-no-plans-interview-dr-christine-blasey-ford-source-n915936

    We already know, of course, that McConnell isn’t the least bit interested in what happened to Dr. Ford or the other women. Kavanaugh could be a serial killer and McConnell wouldn’t care. And we also know that at least 48 Republicans are ready and willing to go along with this travesty of a nomination, and maybe the other 3 as well (they’re still an unknown quantity). But the whole nation is watching, especially the 50% comprised of women, and it’s not entirely unreasonable to suppose that if these old white men continue to be this insensitive toward women in general, they may get hit by a truck on Nov. 6 and wake up Nov. 7 as clueless as ever about what happened to them.

  17. 17

    Sen. McConnell’s response, on behalf of the Republican Party, to the allegations that Brett Kavanaugh assaulted women:

    “Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday slammed Democrats for ‘obstructing’ and ‘delaying’ Republican efforts to confirm Brett Kavanaugh and vowed that President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee would be voted on this week.”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/mcconnell-vows-end-kavanaugh-drama-senate-vote-week-n915586

    In other words, a great big “FUCK YOU” to America’s women. Speaks for itself, doesn’t it? This is what the GOP has turned into. And Doctor Dumbfuck, as clueless as the rest, is one of ’em.

    Add “tax dodger” to “draft dodger”:

    “President Donald Trump helped ‘his parents dodge taxes,’ according to an analysis Tuesday from The New York Times, including what the paper calls ‘instances of outright fraud.’ Trump received today’s equivalent of at least $413 million from his father and much of that money came from schemes to help his parents evade paying taxes ….”

    @ 18

    Why should McConnell release it? He’s got Feinstein’s office to release stuff that is supposed to be closely held.

    Oh, and FBI reports aren’t released. You won’t find access to the FBI vetting files on Kagan or the Wise Latina, either.

    You wanted an FBI investigation, you got one.

  21. 21

    @ 18, 20

    Well, I stand corrected about the Feinstein thing.

    If it stays closely held then y’all libbies are free to speculate on all the evilness that is Brett Kavanaugh. If it’s released, y’all will know that the Dems went all-in holding nothing, not even a face card.

    That could hurt y’all in the midterms.


    Elizabeth Landers✔
    @ElizLanders
    .@SenFeinstein indicates that the FBI report on Kavanaugh should NOT be made public: “It would seem to me that if people are going to be identified this ought to be held very close and not.”

    “I think the investigation ought to be closely held,” she reiterated.

    10:09 AM – Oct 2, 2018

  22. 22

    @21 Yeah, you’re delusional enough to think that railroading another sexual harasser onto the Supreme Court will help the GOP in the midterms.

    That neighing coming from the barn is laughter.

    …free to speculate on all the evilness that is Brett Kavanaugh.

    Or voters can just listen to the dozens and dozens of first hand witnesses coming forward every day from now until… forever.

    Optimally the FBI report remains confidential until October of 2020.

    In the mean time we can enjoy two years of highly publicized BENGHAAAZIIII!!!! style hearings in the House.

  25. 25

    When 17 year old Bart O’Kavanaugh was “holding up walls” and polishing off 100 kegs, the White House was urging him and his FFFFF buds to “just say no”.

    Today the White House is urging us to “just forget about it”.

    The (R) stands for Rohypnol.

  26. 26

    Told you so.

    “When it comes to reaping the benefits of the windfall from last year’s tax cuts, it’s better to be a shareholder than a wage earner, new data suggest.

    “Although dozens of companies announced extra pay for workers after the December tax overhaul slashed the corporate tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent, those headline-grabbing moves are proving to be more of an exception than the rule.

    “Eighty-six percent of the CEOs, chief financial officers and other top executives at 152 corporations said they would not raise salaries because of the tax cut, according to global consultancy Korn Ferry. Nine of 10 companies also said they do not plan to offer employees one-time bonuses related to the deal.”

    Lest we forget: “Shortly before signing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law in December, President Donald Trump cited his economic advisers in predicting that the bill ‘would likely give the typical American household a $4,000 pay raise.'” [Laughter ensues]

    I feel for the workers, but I do like the 15% dividend hikes I just got from McDonalds and Lockheed. It’s not my fault we’re a capitalist society. I’m just going with the flow.

    https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/25/keith-ellison-karen-monahan-investigation/

    The interesting thing is that the accusations are deemed not credible because she won’t release the video or even permit it to be viewed in private.

    One of the reasons the Judiciary Committee’s Republicans will dismiss Ford’s allegations is that the purported mention of Kavanaugh as a prominent judge in her counselor’s notes cannot be viewed by the Committee. Ford won’t permit it.

    In both cases that makes a lot of sense.

    This is for you, doc. An article by a journalist with ties to both the Brookings Institution and the Hoover Institution. You’ll probably like the part where he criticizes the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee and refers to liberal podcast commentary as “nauseating.” He dispassionately analyzes the evidence and says what he would do as a senator.

    “A 1983 letter written by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh described himself and his Georgetown Preparatory School classmates as ‘loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us,’ The New York Times reported Tuesday. … Kavanaugh wrote the letter to seven friends in advance of a weekend getaway to a beachfront property in Maryland …. ‘The danger of eviction is great and that would suck because of the money and because this week has big potential. (Interpret as wish.),’ Kavanaugh wrote in the letter ….”

    * I wouldn’t know, because I never went to a prep school. I’m a product of public education.

  37. 37

    Blasey Ford could be wrong.
    All the others could be lying.
    And being a “loud obnoxious drunk” during your privileged youth should not disqualify anyone from serving on the Court.

    But lying about all those things and many others absolutely should.
    And engaging in an angry televised paranoid rant blaming everyone but yourself for your fucked up past should.
    And swearing revenge against your perceived political enemies should.

    His past isn’t perfect. Nobody’s is. But his stubborn unwillingness to own his past, and accept responsibility for it should at least give pause. It either reveals a deep character flaw or worse a need to conceal some truth he is unwilling to face.

    @ 37

    It either reveals a deep character flaw or worse a need to conceal some truth he is unwilling to face.

    Um, whatever happened to ‘He was too drunk to remember.’? Wasn’t that one of your working hypotheses less than a week ago? If his teenage years were one long hangover, what’s to recall?

    …should at least give pause.

    It’s been about three weeks now.

    Time’s up.

  40. 40

    what’s to recall?

    Routinely mocking and humiliating young women. Illegal underage drinking. Planning illegal underage drinking. Drinking to such excess that you plan, weeks in advance, to puke. Drinking to such excess that you plan, weeks in advance, to warn the neighbors. Drinking to such excess that you violently attack random strangers in New Haven, CT mistaking them for reggae-pop singers from Birmingham England. Waking up the next day with no memory of the previous 24 hours.

    Nothing to be proud of, certainly. But if circumstances call for a grown man to answer for such a past, a man of good character can do so in spite of that past.

    Time’s up.

    Time is infinite. Put him on the court and you’ll gain a better appreciation of that.
