At the Afternoon Café...

... I couldn't get to everything I'd wanted this morning. I'd meant to work my way through "'The trauma for a man': Male fury and fear rises in GOP in defense of Kavanaugh" (WaPo), and I've got a lot more to say about stoking the fear of masculine anger and the fear of fear. I mean "Male fury and fear"... aren't half the books about Trump called either "Fear" or "Fury"? What is really going on? But that will have to wait a bit. How can it wait, when everything is an eeeemergenceeeee these days? Courage! And pick your own topics, including bland and ordinary things that don't inspire the slightest quiver of trepitude. Trepitude???

Car companies are barely in business.

And, not much of the economy.


Coal, same.


Think.



Drop in the bucket compared to what is about to happen to Cab, Uber, Lfyt and Truck drivers.

And all of the third world countries are going to go straight from poverty to ... what? without probably the biggest rung on the economic ladder available to the poor and unskilled.

Not much will change when cars are cheap and freely available to everyone because it takes no humans to make them compared to when we don't need cab drivers.

I guess certain folks have never been on the receiving end of a false accusation designed to ruin one's life. I have no connection to the boys on the Duke Lacross team, but I certainly am adult enough to show some sympathy towards their struggle to recapture their good names.

they show Lubbock having a background of mountains.

For Hollywood craggy mountains = somewhere out west.

Having lived out here most for most of the known past, I get to laugh at how Monument Valley is a few minutes drive from Pikes Peak or Albert Turkey.

Besides its own butt-like name, Lubbock is surrounded by weirdly named places -
- Pep
- Earth
- Sudan
- Spade
- Pettit
- Barwise
- Lorenzo
- Heckville
- Whiteface
- Ropesville **
- New Deal

** CO has Stringtown, almost near Climax, but those names aren't weird at all.

It's revealing when the progs criticize Kavanaugh but have no comment about the hysterics screaming at Flake. They support anything from the left while pretending anything from the right breaks some sort of standard they have invented and support only for that moment. Similarly when left wing professors post hate screeds about white males the left argues free speech. But when a non-leftist professor supports due process, a core Western value, he is threatened with the full support of the establishment. Free speech principles apparently no longer apply.

Regarding anger.

There are many different types of anger and different ways to deal with that anger.

You can have the hot headed flare up immediate reaction. Insult=fisticuffs.

You can create group anger. Insult an entire group of people= banding together and retaliation by that group. Congratulations!. You just forged your enemy into an army who now has a target. YOU!

Then there is the hot simmer. Insult= smiling, planning and effecting revenge My personal style...a dish best served cold and with relish :-)

Reactions to anger also depend on who you are defending. Yourself? Your children? Your friends and family? Many people who would otherwise be stoic, become the hot headed type when the targets are their family. This is Kavanaugh and I admire him greatly for showing his anger in public.

No matter how stoic or slow to anger a person is, if they are provoked enough the resulting reaction will not be pleasant for the provoker.

Unfortunately, this is what is happening now to white men, men in general and to the women who love those men. If the left and the Feminazis think that there are not going to be consequences.....they need to think again. Think long and hard about the results of their actions. IF they can think at all that is.

“...but I certainly am adult enough to show some sympathy towards their struggle to recapture their good names.”

Kavanaugh should’ve behaved as if he had nothing to hide, far less anger, far less tears, far less belligerence to questioning Senators, his behavior belies his innocence. That was the behavior of an entitled spoiled brat only child caught with his hand in the cookie jar and demanding he deserves to have as many cookies as he wants because in his own opinion, he was such a good boy ( ha). One would not have to believe in his innocence to feel sympathy, but his behavior indicated he was unworthy of sympathy, he had a public temper tantrum. I feel sympathy to the women who are having their names drug through the mud because they spoke up about what happened to them at the hands of the prep school drunkards.

"GDP Now 4.1 percent,"


What is the total size of the US economy? Around $20 trillion?


What do the Rs in the swamp borrow every year? A bit less than a trillion?


So, take away the part of the economy that is being funded by financing (and, eventually, interest( to be paid by future Americans, and then we're in close to, if not actually, in the hole.


Even Keynes wasn't that liberal, in an economy that was economically stable.

Another day, another report on Muslim terror--by O's buddies, this time:

"France said on Tuesday there was no doubt Iran’s intelligence ministry was behind a June plot to attack an exiled opposition group’s rally outside Paris and it seized assets belonging to Tehran’s intelligence services and two Iranian nationals."

Mike Sylwester said...

The Fords wanted to create a marriage-counseling record about Kavanaugh in order to use against him if Romney won the 2012 election and then nominated him to the Supreme Court.

However, the Fords were concerned that the marriage-counseling record eventually might be exposed to investigators or even to the public. The Fords did not want their sexual relationship to be exposed.

Therefore the Fords concocted the two-door pretext for the marriage counseling. If the marriage-counseling records were ever exposed, then the records would contain mainly arguments about the house's second front door -- not arguments about their sex life.

That's why her lies about the second front door are very important in figuring out the plot against Kavanaugh.

Some of you have been interested in the second door scenario. Here is an excerpt fro RealClearInvestigations:

Palo Alto city records show that a building permit for an additional room and exterior door was issued to Ford and her husband on Feb. 4, 2008 — more than four years before the May 2012 therapy session where, she says, she first identified Kavanaugh as her attacker.

All the remodeling, including a new bathroom, was completed by February 2010. The only additional permits issued to Ford at her Palo Alto address are for “solar panels” on the roof, a “solar hot water system” in the garage, and an “electric vehicle charge station” for the driveway — all of which were issued after 2012.

Other documents, including health care-provider registration records, reveal that a marriage counselor listed Ford’s home address as her place of employment, ostensibly using the extra room and door for her clinical practice. That marriage therapist, Sylvia Adkins Randall, sold the home to the Fords in 2007, but continued to maintain the address for her business.

Contacted by phone, Dr. Randall expressed concern about her real estate transaction and prior relationship with Ford being reported.

“I don’t want it to be mentioned,” she said. “It’s personal.”

Randall is a licensed therapist who specializes in treating “disturbing memories from the past.” She supports Ford and described her allegation against Kavanaugh as “credible.”

Also casting doubt on Ford’s story is the fact she installed no such escape door at a second home, which property records show she and her husband own in Santa Cruz, Calif., less than five blocks from the beach.

Yet she recently told a close friend, according to media reports, that she has resisted purchasing a home without a second exit from the master bedroom. Without it, she said she would never feel safe.

“Obviously, something happened that traumatized her so much that she’s afraid of being trapped,” her friend Jim Gensheimer, a photojournalist who worked for the San Jose Mercury News, told the Los Angeles Times on Sept. 19.

Property records show Ford and her husband, Russell Ford, bought the beach house in 2007. This July – the same month Ford sent a letter to Feinstein accusing Kavanaugh of attacking her — Ford applied for permits to build a front porch and new decks at the home, located on Seaside Street in Santa Cruz. There is no application for a second front door, however, and the recent permits are the only ones applied for since 2007.

No evidence has emerged of any other exterior door construction at either of Ford’s homes, authorized or not.

Democrats are going to come face to face with the truth shortly.

West Virginia, Missouri, Florida, Nevada, Arizona and North Dakota are "toss ups."

McCaskill is already transitioning to her future. You will know which of these are lost because they will vote no.

The ones that vote yes still think they have a chance.

They gave up on Indiana being a "toss up."

Ohio, Wisconsin, and Montana have 3 incumbents that are shitting their pants about having to vote against Kavanaugh.

If they vote against him they are looking for new jobs.

Tina Smith has to get people in Minnesota to vote for her and Keith Ellison at the same time.

Have fun with that.

Menendez is finished. Nobody wants to vote for the pedo who only likes the newest youngest girls.

Michigan and Pennsylvania are actual tossups.

Over under if Kavanaugh is confirmed: 59 Republicans

Over Under if Kavanaugh is defeated: 62 republicans.

He will be confirmed and get a surprising number of democrat votes and we will never hear another word about this fiasco until the election.

Unexpectedly.

This is not just wrong but stupidly, obviously wrong. The Democratic Senators questioning him are allied to people making up obvious lies attacking him. Seriously we're supposed to pretend to believe he organized an openly-known gang rape circuit. And so other people allied with both the liars and the Senators pretend opposing those attacking you is somehow a problem.

How absurd.

I will address this to Howard since his comment was directed to me. The professor is a self described socialist and has become very concerned with the social justice/political correct movement. You don’t have to read the book...that’s how we all remain ignorant. And it has nothing to do with the current discussion of beer in college 35 years ago if that is what interests you.

I am not a snarky, condescending commenter. If you don’t find my comments worth your time to read, skip over them. I just enjoy an interesting and intellectual discussion without name calling.

The book can be found on amazon with a bit of history regarding the author.

How does that square with CBF saying she entered marital therapy in 2011 because of an argument over a second door?

I am not suggesting a smoking gun, but the longer this goes on, the more cracks appear in the CBF narrative.

IMHO, she may be neurotic (well she is a Democrat) but she's not emotionally disabled. She is simply an actress playing a role.

Qwinn said...

Inga pretending that if BK hadn't shown anger, she wouldn't have been in front of the line claiming his lack of anger proved his guilt because any innocent man in his position would obviously be angry, is pretty hilarious. That argument at least would've been reasonable and I'm sure its the one lefties hoped to get to make, but when BK didn't oblige, they had to come up with this pathetic "temperament" fall back argument. It's so pathetic, in fact, that it gives the whole game away all by itself, as if we needed more proof.

Mercifully the world is not full of Ingas. The press would have us believe that women are as a group that stupid. They are not, as we shall see.

As we shall see it is not only men who are furious.

I don't care to fuss about what Ford said re her therapy sessions. But, if you have an exact quote re what she said re her getting into therapy sessions, I'd be interested.

Aside from that, have any of you cons been pushing the idea that Ford and her family are CIA operatives? AKA part of the deep state conspiracy?

Mike Savage has been pushing this on his radio show w/ what seems to be specifics re Ford's family. According to him, nobody has refuted his claims.

!. Ford selectively released one therapy note to the WaPo. She refuses to release that or other notes to the Senate. Thus, we cannot know what was said in her therapy sessions. BTW, she contradicted her own therapy note.

2. As far as a quote, have you been paying attention to the hearing? It's on YouTube if you missed it.

3. I am not clear on the CIA connection. There have been allegations that her father was CIA and that she was involved in Stanford's CIA internship program. The records have been scrubbed, so we will have to wait for confirmation. I am not making any allegations until I see more definitive information.

The Rs are acting like they've got something to hide. If there was no worry, there'd be no fuss re looking for facts/data/info. So, it is logical to ask what must be hidden w/ this haste? Presumably: bad stuff. So. It is logical to ask, is it good to have a lifetime appointment for someone who can only succeed by hiding bad stuff?

Bart's reaction was ordinary and expected. Things like what was flung at Kav, in most men, would easily inspire a violent reaction that is near impossible to control.

I hope the FBI reads this important article by Paul Sperry on RCI before they interview Christine Blasey Ford.

"...Ford testified last week that she had never revealed the details of the alleged attack until 2012, when she was in couples therapy with her husband. She said the memories percolated up as they revisited a disagreement they’d had over her insistence on installing a “second front door" when they had remodeled their Palo Alto, Calif., home."

"...But documents reveal the door was installed years before as part of an addition, and has been used by renters and even a marriage counseling business."

'...The door was not an escape route but an entrance route,” said an attorney familiar with the ongoing congressional investigation. “It appears the real plan for the second front door was to rent out a separate room."'

Very well-researched piece except for Sperry's assertion that the real CA licensed psychologist who sold the house to the Fords in 2007 continued to practice there by renting out space in her former home. Sylvia Adkins Randall, PhD let her CA license lapse in 2008 after she moved to Oregon.

And, it's true that it is only fair to do a very thorough investigation of all leads re BK because this is for a lifetime (could be 40+ years) appointment on the highest court.


Both can be true. Two wrongs don't make a right. Especially re a lifetime appointment, and there is the fact that Rs (aka GOPe folks) can come up w/ all sorts of alternatives that will do their bidding just as well. Actually, do it better, sans an uninvestigated history of drunken rage, obvious politicking, lying and smarminess.


IMHO.

Francisco D said...

@Anti-deSitter,

You could have found this if you were paying attention or if you put in 60 seconds on Google. I am producing it so others are not taken in by your childish game playing:

“I had never told the details to anyone until May 2012, during a couple’s counseling session,” Ford said. “The reason this came up in counseling is that my husband and I had completed a very extensive, very long remodel of our home and I insisted on a second front door, an idea that he and others disagreed with and could not understand. In explaining why I wanted a second front door, I began to describe the assault in detail.”

She then told Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) that she suffered from “anxiety, phobia and PTSD-like symptoms” as a result of Kavanaugh’s alleged assault 36 years earlier, during which Ford claims the nominee groped her on a bed, tried to remove her clothes, and put his hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming. She also said she suffered from claustrophobia.

Ford also claimed that the house, due to its second door, is “now a place to host Google interns. Because we live near Google, so we get to have — other students can live there.”

These claims caught the attention of reporter Thomas Lipscomb, who wrote an article for RealClearPolitics* questioning Ford’s second-door story.

He asked why the Ford’s needed couples counseling over a remodel job that received a building permit in 2008 — four years before the counseling session where she brought up the alleged sexual assault. Lipscomb also took note of her mention of Google interns.

“Now that she mentions it, the additional remodeling in effect added a self-contained unit to the house, with its own entrance, perfect for ‘hosting’ or even possibly renting, in violation of the local zoning,” Lipscomb wrote. “Perhaps a professional office might be a perfect use, if an illegal one. And in the tight Palo Alto real estate market, there are a lot of games played for some serious income.”

Perhaps Ford wanted the second door so that Google interns weren’t coming in her home on the way to their living space, because she’s afraid of young men ever since her alleged sexual assault. Lipscomb notes that nothing he wrote about the second front door indicates that Kavanaugh didn’t attack her, but feels her explanation for it could use some more details.

Howard said...

I'm with ya Drago. Monotheism sucks and the third attempt is the absolute worst by light-years. When Muslims get washed by Christianity, they become Italians, Spanish, Mexican, etc. Not without macho problems, but definitely not insane.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“Nothing moderates modern feminism more than having an adult son. (except for that one mom, I remember who wished that her sons would do something, I don't remember what, that made them less male, or less alive).”

I have an adult son. He’s very masculine, very independent and I couldn’t be prouder of him. He’s a Democrat, belongs to a union and is a Journeyman Millwright, makes terrific money, just bought his own home as a single young guy. Just what is “modern feminism” anyway?

Sprezzatura said...

Howard,

I don't want that.

If I was more poor, such that that wasn't a third party thing, I'd rather do it myself. What's so hard about a little cleanup? Maybe thirty seconds every week?

Pathetic.

All you Schlump lovers out there ought to know that your lover has been exposed as a big tax cheat. No surprise there. Al Capone could not be prosecuted for murder, so he was convicted for income tax evasion in lieu of capital murder. Will schmuck Schlump be impeached or is he above the law? "We don't pay taxes; only the little people pay taxes," stated the late hotelier Leona Helmsley, aka "the queen of mean" before she was convicted of tax evasion.

The Trumps’ tax maneuvers met with little resistance from the I.R.S., The Times found.

But tax experts briefed on The Times’s findings said the Trumps appeared to have done more than exploit legal loopholes.

- New York Times

LOL. So they filed their taxes and the tax filing was acceptable to the IRS, but not to the politically motivated “tax experts” the New York Times rounded up.

And where did the NYT get these “confidential tax documents” that they are distorting anyways?

Rick said...

You’re a dope.

When you can't dispute the facts change the subject. I agree that's your best tact. But everyone understands it's an admission.

Yancey Ward said...

I find it amusing that people think the Trumps prepared the strategies for the estate transfer and all the tax minimization strategies themselves. An estate that large is given its own state and federal tax teams by the revenue departments- if there were anything "dubious" or looked like "fraud", it was most certainly challenged by the auditors and ultimately approved, maybe after negotiations, maybe not.

When you are that rich and have holdings that complicated, you hire accountants and tax lawyers to handle all of this- you literally couldn't do it yourself. The only part of that story that looks suspicious to me was the selling back of the shares for $10,000, but I do note that nothing I saw even supports the assertion that it happened that way- there was no documentation that supported the underlying implication that the shares were worth far more that $10,000 at the time of the sale. Just asserting that the apartments were moving briskly tells you nothing the capital structure- for all you know, the Trump shares had been diluted out in a reorganization and someone else/s owned most of the value. Believe me, if you file that loss with the IRS, they don't just take your fucking word for it- they make sure you really lost it.

Why not just admit that she never said that "she entered marital therapy in 2011 [or any other time] because of an argument over a second door."?

My favorite part of the latest lefty/dem lie/smear merchanting against Kavanaugh involves a lunatic lefty gal (are there any other kinds?) whose own father had to warn off one her many, many, many, many paramours because, quite literally, she was insane.

Meanwhile, on the lunatic lefty Ford front, we now know she is a crazed self-hypnosis advocate for recovering "artificial" memories and can't even keep the basic facts of her "2 front doors for safety" lie straight for more than a week.

Too, too funny.

Greg Hlatky said...

"Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant."

The lefties indeed are history amnesiacs/contortionists, depending upon the scenario and the political requirements of the day.

For instance, you might say that the commie Khmer Rouge was a bit too violent in the mass murder of 3 million of its own citizens and burying them in mass graves in the country.

But aha! That's where the lefties get you, because right after you've convinced them to "remember" that happened, and right after you have to prove to them that no, the Khmer Rouge was not really the equivalent of the Boy Scouts of America, the lefties hit you with something along the lines of Hey, they did need fertilizer for their crops you know!!

Francisco mostly wins this one- Ford didn't say it was why they were in couples therapy, but the door story was what she attributed going into the details of the alleged Kavanaugh assault during the sessions.

In any case, I think on Thursday Ford tried to inoculate herself by admitting that door was likely a second entrance to a separate office/living space. She more or less admitted that they were renting out the separate unit to "Google interns". She really should thank her lucky stars the FBI isn't interviewing her, and should hope no one at the IRS decides to see if she and her husband are declaring the rental income. A 1 bedroom apartment in Palo Alto is a pricey thing.

The doors thing is a lie but not so important.

This is more interesting

"She alleges that she struggled academically in college, but she has never made any similar claim about her last two years of high school.
It is significant that she used the word “contributed” when she described the psychological impact of the incident to the Washington Post. Use of the word “contributed” rather than “caused” suggests that other life events may have contributed to her symptoms. And when questioned on that point, she said that she could think of “nothing as striking as” the alleged assault."

They have to be sure it's accurate. It's not like this is a story about a gang rape ring.

Inga said ... Good work Sitter!

Seriously!

They have hijacked the thread, but there will be more threads.

I am eager to see the thread after Kavanaugh is confirmed.

I am especially eager to see the thread where there is overwhelming evidence that CBF is a SJW stooge.

Good times ahead!

So anti-de sitter space ridicules Jordan Peterson's daughter's carnivore diet which has put her severe depression and debilitating rheumatoid arthritis (hip and ankle replacements) into remission? What a silly cunt he is. But we knew that from his other positions.

Saint Croix said...

I have seen news reports (NYT etc) about a ricin attack on Donald Trump, and the Pentagon, that happened yesterday. At least they're covering that.

The attack on Ted Cruz's office was today.

Sprezzatura said...

"There was a terrorist attack at Ted Cruz's office in Texas."

It was probably the Russians. Working to help the Ds. Just like they did for HRC in 2016. Who, in return, worked for them. Ever since they bought her w/ CGI funding.

Those Russians love helping the Ds.

You are welcome.
Help, please. For the life of me, I cannot recall the time frame when you got pissed off and left, then came back as an unknown? Gimmee a clue?

Not gonna lie, you runnin' a close second to Crazy Mary in my list of favorites.
BTW congrats on the weight loss. Good job.

Can you quote me ridiculing her?

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“BTW congrats on the weight loss. Good job.”

Thanks sweetie! It’s the fasting. Fast at least 20 hours in the day and you too will lose the unsightly inner tube around your middle!

Yancey Ward said...

Sitter,

The issue was really why was the topic of the sexual assault broached during the session- the assumption from Francisco was the assault was why they were in couples therapy. Someone arguing in good faith would have made the minor correction as I described it rather than trying for 'gotcha'.

In any case, since I think it all but certain at this point that Ford is lying about why she wanted the door, what difference does it make- Francisco was highlighting how ridiculous the claim was in the first place.

It was after the comment interregnum - the summer after the Obama-Romney election. It wasn't that she got pissed though. Since she thought she achieved her goal permanently she let her true self and goal (of disrupting the blog) out a little too clearly. Since she knew people would remember she tried to hide herself.

Sprezzatura said...

I wish I could do intermittent fasting.


I have crazy hours, w/ (at least) activity from 3:30 until 12:30. And, I like good eats.


Anywho, I'm fit and sorta-Keto. Even so, intermittent fasting is a cool thing to do, I know very close folks who can do it. Not me.


Any-anywho, I as a Keto person (sorta simpatico re meat eaters), am looking forward to Marcus never admitting his error re misstating my POV. It's funny when y'all won't admit yur errors.



Carry on.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

Rick, you seem a bit obsessed with me. Maybe Francisco D can help you with that.

I must leave you folks now, too much mentions of the name Inga already on these threads. Get back to the topic.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

Sitter, before I go, yes I do at least 20 hours a day and I shoot for 22. Some days it’s only 16, but overall fasting does some miraculous things on a cellular level. People would be well served by not eating so many times a day.

Much like you admitted your error asserting only one possible reason to deny an investigation?

Left wingers' errors never have greater meaning, they simply fade away.

FullMoon said...

Uh-oh. Sweatnick enjoys and has participated in orgy sex. Father says she has psychological problems

Sprezzatura said...

That's right Yancey,

Words have no meanings. You can claim someone said something that they did not say.

And further, a person who makes a false claim re what someone else stated is mostly right.

According to you.


Logic is tricky.

Sprezzatura said...

"Much like you admitted your error asserting only one possible reason to deny an investigation?"


Do you have a quote where I asserted that there is only one possible reason to deny an investigation?



Ha ha.

"fasting does some miraculous things on a cellular level."


It can be a way to get to ketosis w/o eating a ton of fat.



Francisco D said...

Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

I said that CBF entered marital therapy to deal with the phony second door issue. We don't know that because she only selectively provided notes from one session to the WaPo. I was sloppy in my sentence structure. She might have, but she did not say so.

Once that issue came up, they were in therapy to deal with it, supposedly.

Maybe they were in therapy to deal with CBFs alcoholism and constant marital infidelity. There are credible accusations of her being a cum bucket in high school, sort of like Inga's degenerate behavior as a student nurse.

I find it shameful that Inga is allowed to post here. She sexually abused senior citizens. Old folks don't lie!

Sprezzatura said...

There was a time many years ago when nobody in these threads would make statements that contradicted the factual record.

Back then, if some newcomer slipped up and made this sorta error, they'd be piled on. And, they'd learn that that slop would work, so they got better.

Now, you new folks just make up stuff and stick w/ the wrongness when you can't support your flim flam.


Odd.

chickelit said...

“But the WaPo has nothing to say?

Easy to understand if the perp was/is a Beto beta. That would damage Beto’s campaign. What, you think the WaPo isn’t partisan?

Sane, normal anyone would want to get on the record interviews with a questioner who is probing. Regardless of man, woman, father, mother, etc.


The Rs are acting like they've got something to hide. If there was no worry, there'd be no fuss re looking for facts/data/info. So, it is logical to ask what must be hidden w/ this haste? Presumably: bad stuff. So. It is logical to ask, is it good to have a lifetime appointment for someone who can only succeed by hiding bad stuff?

Turns out logic doesn't always prevail. Tribalism.
************************

YOUR "logic" sure as shit doesn't always prevail.

Lets parse your statements:


"The Rs are acting like they've got something to hide."

Oh really? You mind telling WHAT behavior on the R's part supports that assertion?

"If there was no worry, there'd be no fuss re looking for facts/data/info."

OH really? What is this "fuss" you're referring to so cryptically? The R's let Ford testify. They used a neutral party to interview her. They let the FBI investigate Ramirez and the other woman. NO ONE has corroborated any of their stories.

"So, it is logical to ask what must be hidden w/ this haste? Presumably: bad stuff."

Oh really? What "haste"? There are no more credible witnesses or allegations to investigate. WHAT bad stuff? You're essentially saying, "there's gotta be a crime somewhere, and the Senate should postpone the vote until they find one." That's not "logical".

"It is logical to ask, is it good to have a lifetime appointment for someone who can only succeed by hiding bad stuff?"

Oh really? You are simply assuming without evidence that Kavenaugh is "hiding" something bad, when he has been investigated SEVEN TIMES now by the FBI.

Sheesh. You have the critical thinking skills of a cherrystone clam.

Yep, a member of Team There Is No Such Thing AsObjective Truth actually wrote that.

Just now.

I predict that Trump's monumental tax evasion will bring down his presidency just like it ended Al Capone's criminal activities principally by putting him behind bars. Lock him up!

Trumpit, allow me to introduce you to Ross Perot, who founded the Martin Ginsburg Chair of Tax Law at Georgetown University Law Center.

Do some research ...
Aristotle said that all people wish to have more knowledge, or at least that they "desire to know."

Don't let Aristotle down: you are no troll you are a man!

Former Democratic candidate for Congress and weatherman for WJLA Channel 7 in Washington D.C. Dennis Ketterer has sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee about Julie Swetnik. Swetnik has accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.

In the letter, which was submitted as a statement to the Committee under penalty of perjury, Ketterer says Swetnik told him in the 1990s that she enjoyed sex with multiple men at the same time. Ketterer, who doesn't drink alcohol, says he met Swetnik at a bar on Wisconsin Circle. He was there to buy a soda after a goodbye party for a co-worker in 1993 and was having marital issues at the time. Swetnik approached him, they developed a conversation and ultimately a relationship.

“During a conversation about our sexual preferences, things got derailed when Julie told me that she liked to have sex with more than one guy at a time. In fact sometimes with several at one time. She wanted to know if that would be ok in our relationship," the letter states. “I asked her if this was just a fantasy of hers. She responded that she first tried sex with multiple guys while in high school and still liked it from time-to-time. She brought it up because she wanted to know if I would be interested in that.”

“Julie never said anything about being sexually assaulted, raped, gang-raped or having sex against her will. She never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh in any capacity,” he continued.

Ketterer said he is coming forward now due to the accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, which based on his experience with Swetnik, he believes are false.

"On Wednesday, Seprtember 26th, I heard that Mr. Kavanaugh had a third accuser. When Julie's name was mentioned as the accuser. When Julie's name was mentioned as the accuser, and due to the type of accusation, I was deeply troubled and felt a moral dilemma," Ketterer said. "As I watched part of the afternoon confirmation hearing the next day, and saw Mrs. Kavanaugh looking so sad I felt that she needed to know that in this instance, her husband was being mischaracterized...based on my direct experience with Julie, I do not beleive her allegations against Mr. Kavanaugh."

Ketterer also revealed he was a victim of sexual abuse as a child.

"I know what it's like to be sexually assaulted and not be believed. I was nine years old when it happened at the hands of my grandfather's best friend. I also know what it's like to be accused of something significant that I didn't do and not be believed," he wrote.
