That's the thing, I think this is rebounding against the Dems. The first accuser is certainly credible, but not likely to be enough to keep him from the bench. But the second accuser comes off as a contrived fabrication just to say there's a second accuser. And on top of that, you have the porn star's lawyer jumping in with more salacious claims, none of which sound true at all. The old guard like Feinstein have looked awful in this whole thing, and at the end of this Kavanaugh is still likely to be confirmed. There will have to be a lot more evidence before he's ever indicted for something in Maryland, and impeachment without a really damning criminal indictment is too much of a hurdle to consider it likely. If after all of this he's still confirmed the Dems will be pointing fingers at each other as to how this could've happened the way it did.

Personally, I never liked the Kavanaugh pick - I would've gone with the woman out of Notre Dame. But she might be the next nominee.
I think thus has shifted somewhat away from being about stopping his confirmation, and towards damaging him so much that his decisions on the court are delegitimized - particularly decisions related to the War on Wimmin

Heard a committee vote is scheduled for Friday. McConnell probably brings it to the floor next week, if not this weekend.

Not really - but we are in a period where there is less respect for our institutions, and the climate where a President can successfully say, "He has made his ruling, now let him enforce it" is rapidly approaching.

Not sure where you're going with this three week old story?

Kavanaugh's family wanted to be there on one of the biggest days of his life. Unfortunately, a bunch of vulgar liberal twats started shouting things in a public space that children shouldn't hear so the girls had to leave.

Well then you'll have to excuse one of my conk Facebook friends who just posted it.

The hearings wouldn't be a big day. They'd suck and I wouldn't want anybody to have to endure them, especially my kids. The swearing in would be the big day.

But if this was before all the controversy I give him a pass although it's still mostly political theater.

I don't even need hearings to know Kavanaugh is innocent.

First off, the guy just admitted on TV on Monday night that he didn't get any pussy until well into his 20's. Second, his calendar from 1982 was just submitted as evidence to Congress. I'll just point out a few of the immediate signs this guy hadn't touched a titty during this timeframe:

1. Northwest Mutual Life Audubon Calendar? Nerd alert.
2. He kept it for 36 years after.
3. Rooted for the Washington Bullets.
4. Wrote down every Bullets score.
5. He was already working on Nikki and Suzanne. Why would he care about Christine?

I saw the calendar. Setting aside my liberal views, I don't trust it one bit. I think there's a bit of hastily done Photoshop going on with it. There's more, but here's an example of just one page:

I always toss or delete my last year’s calendars on January 1. Problem solved. :nod:

Oh Christ, here we go! :rofl:

Yes, the photo you posted is clearly Photoshopped. That same page on CNN and USAToday has the full writing in those circled areas.

For instance, July 16 says "Go to St. Michael's for Weekend" same as the previous Friday.

You bit hard.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Thanks for the heads up. :thumb:

I got the PDF from Axios; I just Googled the PDF and downloaded it from one of the links; I didn't think it would be edited and there was no story with it (so I'm not sure why it was manipulated).

It happens. Usually conservative tea party types are the ones who fall for Photoshops. You get one pass.
