Kavanaugh Hearing

For one you mostly didn't respond to the main point of my post - that Kavanaugh's nomination should be withdrawn or defeated based on his behavior in the hearing yesterday. Repeated lies, as well as behavior unacceptable in any hearing that he would preside over himself, and paranoid partisan rants on top of it.

Aside from that, there are other allegations and witnesses that would need to be interviewed if we were to do a real investigation. And possibly more coming out of a real investigation.

Which again should not be needed, because Kavanaugh already disqualified himself yesterday.

 

Maybe we, as non-politicians, should stop supporting people who can't be honest with us?

 

That's how I roll.....

 

Except in your eyes when it comes to discrimination.

 

And in this case the situation of the sworn statements in hand all of the individuals who were said to be there have refuted the story.....so what are we investigating?

or are we just giving the democrats more time to dig up claims that can't be substantiated? That's all this is......GAMES

 

She lied to Congress.

 

Oh, I know, I was being very sarcastic. Nobody who flies to Hawaii and Tahiti on the regular, especially when under no work obligation to do so, can convince me they're afraid of flying. Anyone who really believes that obviously doesn't know someone who has a true fear of flying on a plane.

 

and for a woman that has claimed that she doesn't like to fly she flew to Hawaii, tahiti, Costa Rica and French Polynesia

 

This lady is a mentally ill political grenade sent buy a bunch of Godless thugs meant to disrupt this process due to midterms. Two front doors yet she lets google interns live with her? She's a nut and she's a liar.

 

Well, in my eyes, hiring black coaches isn't wrong. But that's not for this thread.

 

What else will a “legitimate” investigation turn up? Reinterview the same witnesses? Have their lawyers refer the investigators to their previous statements? What probable cause exists now for an investigation? Ford alleges that she was assaulted at a party, while the only other witnesses recall no such party with either Kavanaugh and/or Ford both attending ever happening.

With all this information, what is there to base a case on? An allegation by Ford that is disputed by every other attendee to the alleged party? Not one of them backed her up. Not even her girl friend that you keep talking about. The girl friend says that yes, I believe what she is saying, BUT, I have no recollection of that party occurring, or even ever attending a party with Kavanaugh.

Don’t use the lawyer speak of their sworn statements that is meant to prevent perjury charges from being filed to obfuscate the fact that not one of the independent witnesses backed up her story. So again, investigate what when every other witness says nothing happened.

 

I don't know, I have a wicked bad fear of flying, yet I occasionally fly for personal reasons because sometimes I have to for family reasons, and sometimes I've had to for Gator games (my duty as a Gator fan, ya know).

Does that make me a liar?

 

If you are suggesting that there isn’t evidence against Kavanaugh to believe that he committed this sexual act without reasonable doubt, I agree. However, if you are also suggesting that there is enough evidence to suggest that Ford lied about this sexual act, then I can’t follow you.

Why should we extend the presumption of innocence to Kavanaugh and not Ford?

 

Well, they now have July 1st as a date worth investigating. Same with July 7th. They can talk to "Timmy" and Chris Garrett. They can press Mark Judge for details, and talk to his ex-GF to make sure he's not lying. They can talk to each of the accusers and press them for details. They can go talk to any person the accusers mention. They can run down leads to try and determine where Dr. Ford might have been that night. Or we can just throw our hands up and quit. Imagine if the police did that with every difficult case. "Oh, your son was murdered? Eh, looks like a difficult investigation. We'll pass."

 

It appears she did. At least on that point.

 

I don't know, man. I'm terrified of flying. The sight of a jetliner causes me to unravel. Unless we're talking Thailand, Italy, New Zealand or Fiji. In that case, where can I pick up my tickets?!?!?!

 

Thank you for being honest.

 

Always.

Perhaps biased as we all can be. But I'm honest.

 

You admitted in the other thread that it was justifiable, so what you must be saying is that you can pick and chose what scenarios where the 2nd possible "wrong" is actually "right" when it suits your present argument.

 

Ill actually go one further: I don’t think he was talking out of both sides of his mouth at all. He said they were both believable, and we really can’t know what happened that night. Given this, I don’t think we should stop this nomination. That’s more or less how I honestly feel without any lipservice to #metoo.
