Senate Democrats Investigate a New Allegation of Sexual Misconduct, from Brett Kavanaugh’s College

That's certainly a nihilistic take on things. Young people largely want to take power away from the far right, that isn't polarizing.
He'd be in such a better place if he would admit to something. "Yeah, I was a drunken little womanizing shit, but I didn't rape anyone, and I'm sorry to anyone my juvenile antics hurt" would get him so much farther. If he wasn't going for this sweet pure angel routine, who never even heard about sex or drugs and who only cared about grades, football, and church, he could at least say that he was a virgin who lied to his friends about it to try to fit in, but instead he's stuck defending the insane position that he wasn't even aware anything like that was going on.
I'm trying to imagine what you have to say about having sex to make it so memorable 30 years later. Lol.
He can claim he was just bragging to sound cool, but even so, the whole defense is nuts.
Like many here stated and like I said last night. It's most likely what he told his wife.
Because they've done it their entire lives and have never been held accountable thanks to their wealth.
Yeah, I can relate with that part. I had friends in college who spent years being drunk and partying but whom I wouldn't intuitively suspect of being sexual predators.
On the other hand, if I've learned one thing, it's that a lot of abusive assholes don't necessarily signal it to the world, so I'd be willing to listen to people coming forward.
I assume that's part of what we're seeing here, the other part being people don't want to ruin their own reputation by standing up for a dude who might sink very publicly in the next few days.
People believe what they want to believe. If he told her he was a virgin until he met her and that she was his first, she chose to believe that despite (no doubt) AMPLE evidence to the contrary.
That's my point. Pretty dumb thing to lie about, dumber to believe it, given the surrounding evidence in plain sight (ie his freaking yearbook).
Willing to lie in front of congress and America in order to keep up the facade your wife was your first, while sexual assault accusations are being made no less. Let's elect this man to the highest office! Or you know, he could just have a little honestly with his wife. If he can't even do that how can we expect him to be honest in his rulings?
I mean he probably told her that when he met her. It's probably something he told a lot of people throughout his professional career. Yes it's stupid to lie about, but he probably didn't think ANY of this was going to happen either.
If she turns how many more need to in order to kill his nomination. Just one?
Yea, probably should only apply statute of limitations on cases that ONLY rely on eye witness testimony
He showed the CD! (Just not the contents :P)
You can't pack the court forever. You eventually will run out of chair space
Trump's full rant on Kavanaugh...
Oh, if she was drunk then it couldn't be sexual assault...
Also, this is rich coming from a guy who said that Obama's birth certificate was fake. Yes, the Democrats are con artists who don't even believe the allegations themselves.
If Avenatti has been misleading people he should be ground into dust for playing games like this. He said 48 hours, 24 of those hours have passed.
He said 48 hours as of last night on Maddow's show
And what happened when the GOP regains power and packs it some more?
This actually has support so yeah, much better.
Thank God he's not monopolizing the airwaves amirite
Right, and it's an absurd thing to lie about when everybody surrounding you knows it isn't true (and it's written down in plain sight, just in case it wasn't clear). You hardly need evidence when you consider the context of being blackout drunk and going to parties, and "what happens here stays here" being uttered in a public speech.
What he meant to say was that he never had CONSENSUAL sex until many years after college
The playbook is so predictable.
Deny until evidence comes out, then minimize, then claim it's all ultimately irrelevant.
"So what if he's a sexual assaulter and an attempted rapist?"
"I'm totally a virgin at this"
"You've never had a sex before?"
"No, I've never allowed a girl to consent first. I'm really nervous!"
We finally got there! Now to bring her in, mock her testimony, then vote him through.
Also, just shaking my head at the Seymour Skinner defense.
Republicans escalate completely unprovoked as-is. Democrats need to actually stand up for Americans, not worry about what Republicans might do.
They would say dems were fine with the court staying in balance.
So I don't know if this was posted here.
The Twitter source isn't any legit journalist or anything but if you hit the FARA link....
But the PR firm behind it and Swift Boating registered as a foreign agent for...
You guessed it Yanukovich, Manafort's boss in the Ukraine.
Funny how this shit keeps coming up.
More shit for Mueller to ask Manafort.

I know this statement is going to be jumping the shark a bit, but I will not be surprised if we got to the point of someone saying this, "Even if he did rape my daughter, he can still do the job, right?"
It comes up because the lobbying industry in Washington has tentacles everywhere. It's also why Tony Podesta's firm got swept up in all of this. It's a pretty small town when it comes to stuff like this so don't be surprised to see all kinds of connections.
It's been textbook "Narcissist's Prayer" for a long time...
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did...
You deserved it.
We've almost covered all these bases. "He didn't do it." "Okay, maybe he did. But it probably wasn't anything serious." "Okay, those are some serious allegations and there's others coming forward." "Even if he did it, it was decades ago, so does it matter now?" "C'mon, she was drunk!" "It's the democrat's fault!"
I'm waiting for "she was asking for it."
