I can’t figure out why anyone would believe anything these idiots say, and yet Trump is President and Kavanaugh is probably going to be the next Supreme Court Justice. Just can’t figure it out. These three have so much in common.
Maybe it won’t work, but Bernie Sanders and others are calling for the FBI to look into perjury charges for Kavanaugh. It is a crime to do this and should mean automatic disqualification for him. Such blatant lying to the Senate is disrespectful to the office as well as the American people. He lied repeatedly to the Senate. Check out the article in HuffPost. Also, there were several lies Bernie didn’t even mention which were noted online by Kavanaugh’s classmates. Saying Devil’s Triangle was a quarters game, saying boofing was flatulence, saying ralphing was throwing up due to his weak stomach when he engaged in heavy drinking, saying he did not engage in heavy drinking when there are many who would testify otherwise, etc.
Sometimes you gets the job, and sometimes you don’t. About 99% of us never know why, and we carry on. Employment can be chancy and politics more so.

1811 – Alexander Wolcott ☞ rejected, 9–24
※ Named – but withdrew before official nomination after stating that he had smoked marijuana with his students while a professor at Harvard Law School.
Sadly.. the first words to come out after any charge is.. Not Guilty… no matter how obvious the crime and getting caught red handed. A reflection I suppose of far too many lawyers looking for work.
What’s this? The new three wise monkeys? (As in “Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil. Of those of our political association and social status only, that is.”

Ah, Trump’s sideways glance let’s you know he’s not comfortable standing that close to a black man.

I’m so effing tired of smug and arrogant morons who just blithely lie out of both sides of their mouths (or out of both ends, if you will). Blechh!

Kavanaugh is a big time liar. Besides, if you think about him vs Dr. Ford, which one has a bigger motivation to lie?
