scooter, I agree. Most people I agree with are my fellow posters here on NEWSHOUNDS. That’s life here in my Rump country red state.

Kavanugh showed his true colors when he refused to shake the hand of the Parkland parent. When cornered or when he doesn’t get his way, he acts like a jerk. Just like yesterday.

I believe this goes way beyond overturning Roe. This guy is Chump’s “get out of jail free” card. When Chump’s crimes eventually come to light as I believe they must, there will be trials and appeals and it will eventually end up in – you guessed it – the Supreme Court where Kav will exonerate the beast. This is calculated, craven treason against the United States. Truly today, more than ever, we are the Divided States. I can no longer even entertain the thought of having any meaningful discussion with anyone who supports or supported Chump. They’ve crossed a moral line in the sand and I will not deign to discuss anything with them. They can fck off, now and forevermore. What hurts me personally most of all, is this includes most of my family. I’m done. No more Thanksgivings or Christmas dinners for me. I cannot sit at the table with them and break bread and know that they support everything that I abhor, just because they hate Democrats THAT much. It’s extremely painful, but I must learn to accept the things I cannot change – in this case that my loving parents and sisters are racists and misogynists deep at heart. They have stood up to be counted with the enemy of all that I believe in. The picked their side – now I pick mine and will suffer the consequences.

I place ALL blame for this on the insidiousness that is FOX news, and their constant 24/7/365 hammering of the vicious anti-American propaganda that they spew.

Just my opinion, and I realize that my opinion is only important to me. Think what you will of me – I truly don’t give a fck anymore.

@ Bemused And furthermore Bemused, one should ALWAYS remember:

NOBODY DIED WHEN BILL CLINTON LIED!

’Nuff said.

Bemused, I agree. Even forgetting this latest hearing on sexual assault, Kavanaugh clearly lied in previous hearings.

He’s also a hopeless right-wing ideologue. Yesterday he ranted his hatred of the Clintons in particular and Democrats in general. Any case Democrats bring the Supreme Court can count on a political hack like Kavanaugh to reflexively vote against them in spite and naked partisan bias. Reportedly he’s hated the Clintons (and Democrats) with a passion going back to the Starr investigation he served on.

Finally, it’s his deceptive rope a dope. He’s hiding his partisanship, extreme ideology and abhorrent personal behavior with a flood of non-answers and deflection. Yesterday he realized senators only had 5 minutes so he could ramble on a bunch of practiced talking points to run out the clock and avoid answering tough questions. The fact alone he repeatedly dodged the question of an FBI investigation proves he’s hiding something.

Doesn’t matter. Most Republicans don’t care if he’s a rapist as long as he’ll overturn Roe v Wade and be a useful idiot to vote the right way on their political agenda.

Problem, to my mind, is not so much that the events happened so long ago as the fact that he may be lying through his teeth today!

Decades agim the GOP launched investigation after investigation before finally nailing President Clinton for lying. What had started as an inquiry into shady financial dealings (crime) ended up with a charge for lying about a blow job willingly given by an infatuated intern. I don’t justify that either, but feel that there’s a world of difference between allowing oneself to be tempted into doing something vile and physically attacking a woman just for the fun of it. Ha. Ha. Ha.
