He was very careful not to lie under oath. Unlike Blasey who we are certain lied about at least some things (the fear of flying). He never once said he didn't drink a lot, in fact he said he drank a lot of beer. Please provide evidence where he lied.

Yes, and this is exactly why Mitch McConnell didn't want Trump to pick Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh had a very rocky confirmation to the DC Circuit. Mitch knew this one would be a bloodbath.

See above post
Apparently he had a drinking problem and was involved in at least one aggressive drunken assault of a man.

Show me where Dr. Ford said she was unable to fly. That's pure BS.

Trump would rather die than ever admit defeat or admit he chose a bad candidate. The fact that Democrats hate him so much delights Trump even further. Nothing would make him happier than "triggering a bunch of libs" by getting Kavanaugh on the court.
That is the motivation. That is the kind of president we have.

You are a great representative of your position. Posters like you can never argue facts.
Who can deny that term limits for Senators and Congressman would be an improvement for the life of the health of the country?
Example: Dianne Goldman Berman Feinstein has an artificial pacemaker implanted somewhere in her body keeping her blood from flowing through her cold calculating bitter lefty liberal power at all costs Democratic slowly deadening veins. Old horses get to spend their last few years in the pasture.

So you believe:
Devil's Triangle refers to a drinking game
Beach Week Ralph Club refers to Brett's sensitivity to spicy food
He has great respect and admiration for Renate Shroeder.
OK. I guess you will also have no issues with your daughter playing a friendly game of Devil's Triangle with Mr. Kavanaugh.
Here are some of the "esteemed" senators on the SJC casting aspersions towards Kavanaugh:
DiFi - Withheld the assault allegation for political gain (staff likely leaked information to the press). Third husband is an investor whose clients benefit from numerous large federal contracts.
Patrick Leahy - Confessed Deadhead. Somebody needs to go through his high school yearbook and interview his college friends. Has leaked top secret information on at least three separate occasions (probably should have been tried for treason).
Dick Durbin - Wife is a lobbyist whose clients benefit from his position. Lied to congress about daughters healthcare while stumping for Obamacare.
Sheldon Whitehouse - Likely committed insider trading by selling off $250k in stocks after meeting with Bernanke and Paulson in Sept. 2008.
Richard Blumenthal -- Took 5 draft deferments during Vietnam. Eventually entered the Marine Corps reserves, spending all of his time in the US. Painted himself as a war hero. Was 31 when he met his wife who was 16 at the time.
Cory Booker - Didn't do much for Newark as mayor, it was a dump then and is a dump now. leaked confidential Senate documents, has admitted to groping comparable to what Kavanaugh is now being skewered over, and most damning of all, is an unapologetic VEGAN.

My comments to this thread have been sincere and serious.
Here’s another one:
TRUMP SHOULD WITHDRAW KAVANAUGH ‘S NOMINATION AND IMMEDIATELY NOMINATE TED CRUZ, AND THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND THE FULL SENATE SHOULD VOTE IMMEDIATELY TO CONFIRM.
BAM
I'm sure some maga chud will find an alternate reality where they contradict what's in this article, but any reasonable person will read this piece and leave with zero doubt that Kavanaugh is a dissembling, deceiving schmuck who thinks we're all morons who were never 20 years old or dont have the internet
https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/09/how-we-know-kavanaugh-is-lying
I for one want a SCOTUS nominee who can at least lie effectively.
Trump should withdraw Kavanaugh and, in turn, nominate each democrat senator for SCOTUS and subject each to the same vile vetting as is ongoing
Devil's triangle - I, like most everybody else on these boards, had never heard of Devil's Triangle. For all I know, it very well could have been a drinking game played by 3 people. I don't know because I never really played drinking games and I wasn't a party to their inside slang in 1982. Considering that the definition has been constantly modified over the past few days, I don't think you can definitively say what it means. I am pretty certain it could have meant anything back in 1982 for a small group of people (there was not a source of universal slang back in 1982 because there was no internet). Even the definition that is out there right now sounds like something a 13 year old made up that people are quoting as fact.
Beach Week Ralph club - He has already said it referred to him throwing up. He said it was from a sensitive stomach. I guess you will have to talk to the editor of the yearbook about what that referred to.
He probably does have respect for Renate. It is wrong to go through someone's high school yearbook. It just reeks of how desperate the Democrats are that they would go through someone's past to this extent. Interviewing him for more hours than all of the current justices on the court combined.
Please post your name and school you graduated from if you feel that an invasion into a person's private life like this is appropriate.

BS. I have never done that, have admitted mistake at least a few times especially in the Trump thread but here and there throughout my time at Letsrun dating back to 2001. You can not find an example of me doing what you said I would do.
And, to demonstrate that I DO admit fault and/or apologize for things, if you search for the word "unreservedly", you will see several comments from me doing just that as I often (but not even always) use the phrase "I apologize unreservedly" when I do so.
You have a mischaracterization of me for some reason, and I have demonstrated how it is not so above, and I challenge you to find an example supporting your assertion. You will not be able to.
What will you do faced with THIS mistake of yours? Show integrity like I ALWAYS do when wrong, let it pass by without saying a thing, or admit your mistake?
Let me see if I can find an example of you giving a long winded response defending yourself.
Oh! See above.
(You must of done that tongue-in-cheek)
Yes, that is gold, Racket.

No reasonable person can look at the facts and watch that testimony and say that Dr. Ford was lying. Even Meryl Streep is not that good an actress.
So that just leaves us with the "mistaken identity" theory.
Find me a memory expert who thinks mistaken identity is possible in a case like this. Right now all the experts I have seen are saying that Dr. Ford's testimony is perfectly consistent with what you would expect in this situation.
The attack is seared into her memory. She knew her attacker beforehand, so Kavanaugh's name and face are indelibly associated with the attack.
Find me someone who understands human memory that thinks mistaken identity is possible here.
How about Ms Ford herself?

Then you don't understand traditional conservatives, who are not Trump's base. They like Kavanaugh, but not Trump.
The one thing that will motivate them is the undeniably sleazy tactics used against Kavanaugh. You can see it right here in this thread - few new comments about believing Ford, it's moved on to talk of perjury about drinking and the meaning of dirty words and phrases. That's what witch hunts are about - get your target under the spotlight using whatever pretext, and then jump on whatever they say. It was never about Ford.
The GOP has spent the past two years watching its people led into perjury traps, and will get a huge morale boost if their party stands up to this one, and take their anger to the polls to punish the Dems. If it capitulates, the opposite will happen, they'll view it as spineless and turn against it.

That would be risky. Believe it or not, but not all people drank so much in high school or college that they were stumbling drunk ever let alone frequently, and the vast majority of people never sexually assaulted anyone, never wrote "inside jokes" in their yearbook about boofing and real or fake sexual conquests or devil's triangle and then lied about those things under oath.
Democrats didn't cause a stink about Gorsuch, because there were no such accusations against him.
Kavanaugh was a drunk. I would be interested to know if he still is. Being a drunk isn't necessarily disqualifying, but lying about it under oath should be.
