Kavanaugh was pissed off because of these wild, false accusations.

You know they are false? That rather automatically means you know more, unless it's simply "I don't like Democrats, so they are lying" :p

Kavanaugh's been through 6 FBI investigations already (If i've read correctly). Nothing came up.

Yes, because the woman he allegedly assaulted only started coming out about that in recent times. Not in the media I mean, but also to her therapist, husband etc.

And by the way, this is an incredibly important position he is about to be gifted. The very least they can do is let the FBI investigate this specific case in depth. Every single FBI investigation is 100 times better than a discussion between Democrats and Republicans who mostly care about their partisan stuff.

 

If Kavanaugh is innocent, an FBI investigation clears his name (which is very much not clear right now) --> Kavanaugh wins

 

Why on earth would they not simply let the FBI investigate this specific case? Do they have something to lose and hide?

Or even let people talk to Mark Judge, that’s what still seems shady to me. Plus, the yearbook thing to me is, yeah he was a kid, but it still reveals things about is party nature.

Mark Judge apparently refused, and only sent in a statement through his lawyer.

 

By the way, I don't think people should be forever punished for what they did in their high school and college years, where drinking and partying is rather normal apparently. The bigger worry is still that he was sitting there pretending to be the victim, and acting in a way that shows he finds his partisan beliefs more important than a fair judiciary system.

 

No, people should not simply believe Kavanaugh 'because it's a charade against him'.

No, people should not simply believe Ford 'because everyone needs to be believed'.

 

Only more reasons to let the FBI conduct a thorough investigation into this specific case.

I don’t think the Black Eyed Peas are Trump supporters :p.

 

I really don’t know or understand how people still support him and his batshit crazy administration.

Kavanaugh is innocent. Ford & others are making accusations up JUST BECAUSE he's nominated by President Trump. Change my mind :p

 

I'm not nearly enough into the case to make any kind of judgement, but this is not about President Trump or not President Trump (for once). 
It's more about Kavanaugh's views, especially when it comes to abortion, a question Kavanaugh answered in a very vague fashion (but sadly it could very well be enough to get the support of the moderate and more pro-choice republicans like Collins and Murkowski)

Deconstructing Kavanaugh, one lie at a time, even without assuming the allegations are true :bowdown:

    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
