Potential witnesses --

If a coach or teacher in your child's life had four accusations like this made about him, you would not allow your kid to be around him, regardless if you'd been presented with evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. And, as point of fact, if a teacher is arrested and charged with such crimes, they are uniformly removed. If you were a business owner and this guy was presented to you as a candidate and you learned of multiple accusations against him of this nature, you would turn to other candidates because it's not worth the risk.

You know what kills me? Folks of your stripe who will gleefully support the erosion of workers' rights and protections against wrongful termination and argue that employers and government should be able to fire people without establishing anything near "beyond a reasonable doubt," magically believe in an instance like this that we must meet that bar. Do you know how phony that sounds?

This guy lied a minimum of four times in his testimony last week. You don't believe he never drank to the point that he had no memory of what transpired. That's what a "blackout" means. He lied about "Renate Alumnius." He lied about the drinking age at the time. He lied about learning about the Ramirez accusation only after The New Yorker article came out.

And I'll tell you something else: this guy is an alcoholic and I feel bad for his wife and kids. He's chosen to put them through all this and his wife knows he's a drunk. If you go back and listen to his testimony last week, even going beyond the meltdown and all his emoting, pay attention to the content. Even when the senators wanted to get past the drinking, Kavanaugh kept bringing it back to his love of drinking. That is how alcoholics talk. This guy is the exact opposite of what we need on the Supreme Court, in terms of temperament, character and intellect. His repeatedly made stupid analogies to defend himself in the hearing. At a time when his relationships and views on women were in question, he chose to get belligerent with the most docile female senator on the committee. That is stupid behavior and neither you nor I can imagine Gorsuch, Alito, Roberts, et al., being so stupid. Forget about the country, he should withdraw for the sake of his family. He's choosing to humiliate his wife by dragging this out and thus bringing more and more people forward who will testify that he was lying about his drinking and lying about his behavior in general.

They merely choose to ignore it

Or they're just so used to being assholes it comes naturally

I've only said this a million times on here. I don't care if it's illegal; I don't care if it's mandatory.

I live with an arch pro-choice person, and we never talk about it, because I believe Roe v Wade was terrible for this country. Not because of the unborn - don't care - but because of the division and rise of the "moral majority" and how it inspired good people all over the country to hold their nose and vote for Trump. It overrides all morality. It is the single issue for zealots everywhere.

No Roe, no Dubya, so no Iraq War.

No Roe, no Trump.

With regard to Page, as usual, you prematurely ejaculate.

At this point we know the campaign colluded with the Russian Govt representatives at the Tower meeting. We will know more after Manafort spills and Mueller issues his report.

Patience, cupcake.
