A longish, highly damning dissection of Kavanaugh's lies.

Conclusion:
"What does it say about this country that this is the state of our discourse? That Kavanaugh even stands any chance of being made one of the most powerful figures in the American government, with control over life and liberty? That a man like this is even a judge? He went before the United States Senate and showed total contempt for his vow to tell the truth. He attempted to portray a highly esteemed doctor as a crazy person, by consistently misrepresenting the evidence. He treated the public like we were idiots, like we wouldnt notice as he pretended he was ralphing during Beach Week from too many jalapeños, as he feigned ignorance about sex slang, as he misread his own meticulously-kept 1982 summer calendar, as he replied to questions about his drinking habits by talking about church, as he suggested there are no alcoholics at Yale, as he denied knowing who Bart OKavanaugh could possibly be based on, as he declared things refuted that werent actually refuted, as he claimed witnesses said things they didnt say, as he failed to explain why nearly a dozen Yale classmates said he drank heavily, as he invented an imaginary drinking game to avoid admitting he had the mind of a sports jock in high school, as he said Ford had only accused him last week, as he responded to his roommates eyewitness statement with an incoherent story about furniture, as he pretended Bethesda wasnt five miles wide, as he insisted Renate should be flattered by the ditty about how easy she was, as he declared that distinguished federal judges dont commit sexual misconduct even though he had clerked for exactly such a judge.
And what does it say about us, and our political system, that he might well get away with it?"

(4,546 posts)I'm about two thirds of the way through and will have to come back to finish later, but everything I've read has been both accurate (I watched the whole damn thing live) and meticulously detailed (and researched).
It is well worth reading. Thanks for posting it!
