Time To Smear Kavanaugh's Good Name...

[Sparko]

I'll go ahead and say it --- I think this conduct by Trump is appalling, and does nothing to help Kavanaugh.



I saw some of this yesterday, and found it disgusting, and will not be surprised if it helps drive some of the "on the fence" Senators closer to "no".

Yeah I heard that on the news this morning.

Trump as President should not be mocking private citizens. And it was more than just pointing out that she didn't know certain details, he said it in a mocking tone of voice.

He owes her an apology. This just helps the democrats too. Nice job Trump.

I don't care what you were responding to. You two, MM included, are being a massive distraction with your squabbling.

Jim, try reading my post again, this time for understanding.

Are you not now squabbling with me?

[oxmixmudd]

Breaking News!!!

Tassman, JimL, Starlight and Oxmixmudd believe Ford is telling the truth and Kavanaugh is lying and everyone else is delusional. Arguments ensue.

Not even close to a true assessment of the actual situation - at least in my case. Are you interested in knowing where and by how much you are wrong, or would you just prefer to believe what you wish about my position irrespective of reality?

sigh. I was making a joke about how there are basically two sides here and neither one will give an inch and interprets the same information in different ways. One side see Ford as believable and Kavanaugh as a liar. The other side sees the opposite.

I was trying to show you something. Since you prefer not to see, I'll simply drop it rather than continue. You may have the last word, if you like.

I wonder if any of our Tweb liberals (or, otherwise, staunch defenders of Ford) are concerned about the crappy way this was handled by the Democrats, in "sitting on" this letter until after the hearings were over. Or is this, perhaps, "the end justifies the means" stuff.

I was. My position was: 1) Ford's testimony wasn't convicting, even if it prima facia plausible. 2) The Democrats are transparently using her testimony for their own purposes to block a candidate.

Exactly!

Which is why I have basically stopped responding in this thread. Almost everyone is speculating and using their pre-existing desires/bias to color what information they accept, what they reject, and how they interpret it. The exercise is typically political, and largely useless, IMO. There are far more enjoyable ways to self-stimulate.

I have recommendations for a good beer if anyone is interested...

Maybe, but the beer is worth it.

We agree!

Is the world ending?
