I am genuinely starting to think that psychopaths in Washington stick together, this is why the Clintons are such good friends with Kissinger. Another example:

I’ve been reading about the nafta changes and continue to be impressed by Trumps ability to pretend minor tweaks are major victories.

I don’t really hate the changes but they don’t seem particularly major and don’t seem that they will change the trajectory of trade balances in any meaningful way

What happened with Avenatti's claims of having huge news in regard to Kavanaugh? He was claiming they were talking to the networks and new would dorp over the weekend.

[agrajag]

Don't know, something either spooked him, or he was genuinely trying to work things out with the FBI. Or he's full of shit and gonna try to walk back some of his claims. Remember the DVD he threatened Trump with?

[Maiden Voyage]

He's quickly becoming as annoying as Rick Wilson for me.

[Leadbelly]

It's a funny video, but at the same time...

It's obvious the Left-wing media are having a field day over this. Ultimately though, you have a bunch of unsubstantiated accusations, no evidence, a story that focuses on supposed misconduct back when he was a teenager, years ago, and somehow this should be enough to destroy the man? No matter what people feel about Kavanaugh, these sort of show trials aren't good for society.

Show trials result in severe consequences (death or long-term incarceration), at worst Kavanaugh isn't getting a promotion.

[Trurl]

Kavanaugh's response has been so bad that it's disqualifying regardless of whether he's guilty.

“The Washington Times now does not have any basis to believe any part of that statement to be true, and The Washington Times retracts it in its entirety,” the retraction said. It’s unclear how the paper is only coming to that realization now.

Lyons also wrote: “Also, why hasn’t Aaron Rich been interviewed [by law enforcement], and where is he?”

“The Washington Times understands that law enforcement officials have interviewed Mr. Rich and that he has cooperated with their investigation,” the retraction said. “The Washington Times did not intend to imply that Mr. Rich has obstructed justice in any way, and The Washington Times retracts and disavows any such implication.”

“The Washington Times apologizes to Mr. Rich and his family,” the retraction concluded. “All online copies of the Column have been deleted and all online content referencing the Column has been deleted to the extent within The Washington Times’ control.”

A bunch of people annihilated.

Yeah because these sort of accusations aren't damaging to a person's reputation and career or nothing. lol

And unsubstantiated aaccusations that lead to removal of public officials isn't something to be concerned about or anything. Fuck evidence and the rule of law.

Carry on. I leave you to your nonsense. I can't be bothered with it.:p

[agrajag]

He did it to himself. He could've kept a low profile and he woupd've gotten away with his high school and college rape and debauchery. He was literally asking for it.

First of all, as far as I am aware none of the allegations are actually for rape. They are accusations of incidents that happened decades ago. The thing is, no evidence has been brought forward, none.

I don't give a shit quite frankly about Kavanaugh, I just don't feel comfortable with this whole 'listen and believe' crap. Surely it can't be good in the long run for a society to just treat these sort of accusations as gospel and then pretty much destroy a person's reputation and livelihood over it? I don't know... you people make it seem like this is a fucking far out opinion or something. lol

[Leadbelly]

Not suddenly no. I have actually mentioned this before in another context.

[curly]

Shut the fuck up you dork

[agrajag]

Yes. Women just line up to testify to the FBI under threat of imprisonment for perjury with absolutely nothing to gain from it but stalking and harassment. Please tell me more.

[nachobro]

poor guy might have to go back to only being on the 2nd most powerful court in the country, might as well be working at mcdonalds :'(

[Leadbelly]

Yes. Women just line up to testify to the FBI under threat of imprisonment for perjury with absolutely nothing to gain from it but stalking and harassment. Please tell me more.

So Ramirez recalls an incident, again decades ago, in which she was drunk and admits there are gaps in her memory. SHe recalls a penis next to her face and someone shouting "Kavanaugh put his penis on Debbie's face". Okay, might have happened, but then again, might not necessarily happened the way she said it did, it was decdes ago when she was drunk and had gaps in her memory.

Call me crazy, but I find it hard to make a conclusion on that.

Ford said he grabbed her while she was on the bed and tried to take her clothes off. She thought he was trying to kill her. He didn't succeed in doing so and supposedly didn't rape her.

Again, Might have happened the way she said I don't know.

The other witness said he was present at parties where girls had their drinks spiked. Didn't claim he was involved only that he was present.

I don't know what to make of that.

Point being, there needs to be some kind of concrete evidence for me to form an opinion.

[Leadbelly]

Tbh he probably should get cut from that job as well, considering he's openly partisan and actually threatened sitting senators, not even counting his general unhinged behavior and blatant lies. Idk how you could trust a guy like that to be a good judge of anything.

Well that is something different. I don't know much about anything else, it's simply these accusations I have been following.

[nachobro]

Well that is something different. I don't know much about anything else, it's simply these accusations I have been following.

i guess you haven't been following very closely considering he did all that at his hearing

[Mandark]

The thing is, no evidence has been brought forward, none.

Testimony is evidence you dumbfuck.

[Leadbelly]

I only read up on the accusations against him and didn't know what to make of it.

[Leadbelly]

The thing is, no evidence has been brought forward, none.

I... Okay. You accuse me of something, I say it didn't happen. Great evidence you dumb fuck. lol

[curly]

He was lying out his ass during the hearing. About his high school drinking, about what a devil's triangle was, about the yearbook, about what other witnesses had said, even about whether he had watched Ford's testimony.

[Mandark]

wait until leadbuddy finds out people are convicted in criminal trials based on eyewitness testimony :O

[Propagandhim]

I feel like we're in a devil's triangle right now

[nachobro]

i think all this shit going on now is completely fucked also i don't even know the basics of the situation or even anything about it at all

[agrajag]

Glad we agree that there should be a thorough investigation into all the accusations. You can stop feeling sorry for this guy any time though.

[Leadbelly]

Well, that isn't going to help in any way then.

[agrajag]

Leadbelly straight boofed right now.

[Coitus]

People think real life is CSI.

Also his calendar corroborates a party with some of the individuals she named as being present.

[Leadbelly]

Glad we agree that there should be a thorough investigation into all the accusations. You can stop feeling sorry for this guy any time though.

Maybe go back to a previous post. Explicitly said I didn't give a fuck about Kavanaugh personally.

[Mandark]

He was lying out his ass during the hearing. About his high school drinking, about what a devil's triangle was, about the yearbook, about what other witnesses had said, even about whether he had watched Ford's testimony.

Lied about "boofing," lied about growing up "in a city plagued by gun violence" (motherfucker you grew up in Bethesda), lied about "Renate alumnus," lied about blacking out, lied about throwing up during Beach Week cause of "spicy food," lied about getting in to Yale with "no connections" (he was a legacy) etc.

He lied so obviously and so much that the current spin on conservative Twitter is "well of course he was driven to tell these unimportant lies by the liberal witch hunt!"

Meanwhile Ford told her husband and her therapist about the assault in 2012. But it's probably 50/50 whether she's been running a Keyser Soze-esque con for six years or the dude who told a bunch of obvious, easily spotted lies on national TV isn't telling the truth.

[Propagandhim]

The funny thing is, if he pretended the calendar didn't exist he would be so ahead right now.  The 'boofing' and 'devil's triangle' things were so embarrassing and irrelevant that he thought he was forced to lie about it under oath because perhaps he thought it would have been sensationalized by his ideological opponents and the media if he actually admitted to what they were.  Now everyone, rightfully, thinks he's willing to lie about anything.   Why did he bring that shit to court?  Idiot.   Has he learned anything from Sam Harris?  It's not a lie if you don't say it!

[Leadbelly]

Leadbelly straight boofed right now.

Well, my point was about the allegations of sexual misconduct. If he is dismissed becuase of lying under oath about drinking  and so on, then that is something else.

[agrajag]

How is frequent lying under oath a separate issue from his credibility re: the assault allegations?

He also lied in the Fox News interview about being a virgin goodie two shoes, while he was obviously running around getting boofed and having devil's triangles in high school

I'm not American and obviously not a Republican. I don't paarticularly give a shit about Kavanaugh personally, rather this trend that sexual misconduct, whatever, allegations should be believed without evidence.
