I don't care how drunk Kavanaugh got in high school and college.

[janx]

I don't care even if he had worn strange costumes and run around naked and cried, puking, in his dorm room. I do not care if he drinks/smokes today for recreation on his own time.

I DO care about his reported abuse of other people, and more importantly, I care about this:

A detailed analysis of Kavanaugh's own notes from the Starr Investigation reveals he was cherry-picking random bits of information from the Starr investigation — as well as the multiple previous investigations — attempting vainly to legitimize wild right-wing conspiracies. For years he chased down each one of them without regard to the emotional cost to Foster’s family and friends, or even common decency

Please read it if you haven't already. This man was groomed to be a political tool.

[Drunken Irishman]

1. Thanks, janx. I was on drugs and drunk all throughout high school.

I promise you I never raped a woman. Even drunk I knew not to do that shit.

[janx]

4. I don't know how the "temperance society" got mixed up with this,

especially during the hearing. I heard an excerpt of one of the senators bemoaning her experience with her alcoholic father. WTF?!

[radical noodle]

17. She was asking if he'd ever had so much to drink

that he couldn't remember what happened. I'm sure she was thinking he might have been so drunk when he attacked Dr. Ford that perhaps he didn't really even remember it.

3. His mother must be so proud.

Too bad she didn't use birth control. She would have done a huge service for her country. Instead she raised an enabling, spoiled, lying, crazy, abusive, hateful, misogynistic sociopath who is the stuff people scrape off of the bottom of their shoes.

[smirkymonkey]

5. +1000

This. Maybe he's so against abortion because he knows he should have been one.

What a repulsive excuse of a human being. No wonder Trump likes him so much.

[BigmanPigman]

6. You read my mind.

[janx]

7. He probably isn't against abortion.

He is a TOOL. Please read the article at the link if you have not already.

[Ilsa]

9. Abortions probably increased in frequency while he was

at Georgetown prep and Yale.

[janx]

10. I get the joke but that's not the point.

If you read what Brock wrote, you'll find how apparent it is that he was groomed politically for this position.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Yet, he tried to pull the "I am just like everybody else" routine.

"I studied, prayed, cut the lawn, played sports, etc". He must think everyone on the committee was born yesterday. His silver spoon was hanging out of his mouth in full view. If he doesn't get this job due to his temperament he could become pretty scary I bet. He seems very vengeful. Arrogant Bastard is the name of a beer but it also describes him.

[Ilsa]

29. It was just an aside. nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. And then there's tRUMP's mother.

[magicarpet]

28. The mother would have done the world a favor...

.... if when she knew she was pregnant with Brett she quickly ran out and scrounged up a wire coat hanger. Then self aborted the baby and deposited the bloody blob into the nearest sewer so that Brett was not carried to full term and unleashed upon the world.

In some cases abortion might not be such a bad thing - especially with monsters of this sort.

[Tipperary]

30. Joking about coat hanger abortion.

Okaaay.

[magicarpet]

34. Not a joke,.. more a graphic illustration of the return...

..... to the good old days where the woman's right to choose is limited to the crude action of using a rusty metal coat hanger, drinking Lysol, or gulping down a 6oz glass of turpentine, or a back alley abortion by a butcher with filthy hands to end a pregnancy.

If this Fascist monster Kavanaugh gets on the Supreme Court you can bet legal medically supervised abortions will be whittled away at the state level and become so restrictive on the federal level a rusty coat hanger will be the only recourse for the poor to access an abortion because the religious Christian Fascists decreed it should be so.

This monster Kavanaugh does not belong on the Supreme Court or on any court. He is a habitual and prevaricating liar and a blackout drunk and a serial rapist and he lacks the character and the qualifications to judge the winner of even an elementary school talent show, let alone sit on any court.

How do they even have the audacity to nominate this garbage to the highest court of the land ?

TrDump has normalized Idiocracy to the detriment of us all. That is no joke.

[BigmanPigman]

36. I made an anti-Kavanaugh pin 2 weeks ago...

It is a red circle with a red slash through his name. Then I formed a little coat hanger out of a large paper clip and put it on a little chain to hang off of the pin. This was when he was hated for his crazy views BEFORE the Ford testimony. When people see it they know what it means, especially women. I live in a blue area so I usually get support, no one has said anything negative. In fact, I got two people to vote this week when I started conversations over it.

37. Political/Social activism.

Now go call your senator...
And tell them to Kava-Nope.

BP is burning up the phone lines to Washington DC.

[spanone]

8. K&R...

[MountCleaners]

11. He's crying on tv

Expects people to sympathize, when he did this to Foster's family. Not much is being made of this.

[dalton99a]

12. +1

[janx]

13. Exactly. Why? n/t

[sprinkleeninow]

27. He was shedding croc tears bc he wants it real bad and does not feature his

butt being hoisted in a sling. Dirtbag.

[KT2000]

14. he came up through politics not the law

is how Chris Matthews put it.

He will cherry-pick legal cases to rule for corporations, against women, for undisclosed political donations, against public health and the environment, for pharma against injured patients, etc.

[janx]

33. That's it exactly!

I'll have to scrounge around for a link to the video. Kav was weaned on neoconservative politics, trained like a puppy. Why isn't Congress admitting this? Did anyone ask a question about it?

[KT2000]

35. David Brock wrote a piece

I believe it was either Slate or Salon.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Lying about it under oath is perjury. They do themselves in with the cover-ups. . . . nt

[wiggs]

19. HE'S A RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY THEORY OPERATIVE!! How in Gods name is he

even being considered for SCOTUS??

[janx]

25. Exactly. n/t

[srobertss]

20. I feel this way too

He’s an abuser. And I think he projected and is still projecting his own self disgust on to the Clintons.

And I also don’t care that he drank. But I think it’s important to point out how obvious it is that he lied about it and so many other small and stupid things. Devil’s Triangle. Boofing. Renata Alumnus. Everyone knows these were lies. And that’s important, because why did he lie? Who would tell these lies if they were innocent?

[Jersey Devil]

21. Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus - the reason why his drinking is important

If witnesses can be lined up to show that he grossly lied about his drinking, that he was a sloppy, puking, passing out drunk in high school and college, he entire credibility is affected. If he is false about his drinking, then he can be considered false in his testimony about everything.

[Honeycombe8]

22. He's a dirt-wad. I doubt even the conservatives on the S.Ct. want to see him walking down their hall

Really. Kavanaugh would be a disruptive, psycho force on the bench. Like having Trump there.

[berni_mccoy]

23. His drinking does matter as a form of evidence

If he commonly drank to the point of black out it is very likely he does not remember what he did which can be used to explain the disparity between his and Dr. Ford’s testimony.

Also it would mean he lied under oath, disqualifying him for SCOTUS as well as his current position on the bench.

[Flaleftist]

26. Their is a saying about a drunk man's words/actions are a sober man's thoughts.

I'm very skeptical that this could be an isolated blackout drunk incident or that it only happened when he was blackout drunk and had no idea the incidents occurred.

[Grammy23]

24. I am pretty sure Kavanaugh did the bad things he is accused of during his high school

and college years. I believe Dr. Ford. And maybe he did drink to the point of incoherence and really has a hard time remembering the bad deeds. Or he doesn’t want to remember them.

But what is really weighing on my mind is his behavior yesterday. He proved he is unfit to be a judge in any court, much less the Supreme Court. He raged, he cried, he was rude and he lied over and over. For someone to be an officer of the court to lie repeatedly is a deal breaker. He was being interviewed as part of the job application process. He failed miserably. No employer in his or her right mind would hire or appoint anyone who acted like Kavanaugh did. He may be a smart, well educated man with a sterling pedigree. However, he smashed all of that to bits with his behavior yesterday. If he had an ounce of integrity, he’d withdraw him name for consideration as a Supreme Court Justice and he’d resign from his current position as a Federal Judge.

31. He was an attorney for the Bush Crime Family

What is in those documents that the GOP goons want to keep hidden?
The G.W. Cheney cabal was dark and crooked as all get out. The Kav was a coked up drunken actor in all that depraved stuff.

Having Bush Crime Family on your resume is a mark of shame, depravity, vulgarity, and other disgusting words that probably exist only in the German language.

He is unAmerican. If he was seated at any table in a lunchroom, and there was only one seat left open next to him, i'd take my lunch to the fire escape where the cool kids are, and ask politely if I could sit with them.

I'd draw horns on his picture next to his football trophy sitting in the glass caes. Write Fink in red letters next to his name
