re Kavanaugh: Don't forget the perjury!

If the discussion becomes solely about the attempted rape allegation, the issue for confirmation, as with Clarence Thomas, could boil down to whether there is irrefutable proof of his guilt or innocence - a damned near impossible hurdle. The issue of Kavanaugh's PERJURY should not now be given short shrift when the reality is that his perjury alone should disqualify him from ANY court.

But think Al Franken and how his head was demanded for sloppy kisses and unwanted hugs at his USO appearances (Which btw are famous/infamous for their sexual innuendo skits and jokes). Recall how outraged the GOP and their groupies were for the 'sleazy, sleazy' behavior.

Off with his head!!!

Now we have an accusation of an alleged rape scenario. Response? Republicans are ready to crawl over glass for this nomination and the WH has signaled a smear campaign if this woman dares come forward, publicly renouncing an act of violence.

Really?

Anyone, women in particular, who cannot note the raw and sickening hypocrisy? You've turned your frigging brain off.

Our representatives, lawyers and journalists can't present two bad behaviors to the public at the same damn time? It's perjury AND rape, the latter easily denied by the man capable of the former.

What are we, herds of cattle racing after a rickety cart full of candy hay? Let's look at both sleazy traits, people. IT'S NOT THAT HARD!

Ugh.

.... and, yes, our education system is being destroyed, beginning with a suppression of teacher status and salaries.
