Time To Smear Kavanaugh's Good Name...

[JimL]

plus like OBP said, if the senators get to ask questions, then the democrats can stall even more and pontificate and praise her for her bravery and all that stuff while not actually asking her anything.

The senators do get to ask questions, it's just the republicans who will have a prosecutor sit in for their side because they are afraid of another Anita Hill debacle causing further loss of support from women in the uncoming elections. Might be a bit late for worrying about that though.

[JimL]

Meh. JimL has abundantly proven that he couldn't care less about being taken seriously here. When he actually backs up his bald assertions, I'll pay more attention.

Meh.

...he didn't actually know Kavanaugh personally ...

By the way, that's not my claim, that what's Roche himself said.

Direct quote: "Brett and I did not socialize beyond the first few days of freshman year."

Roche did not claim not to have known Kavanaugh personally. That was indeed your claim.

Either you don't know the difference between knowing some-one personally vs socializing with them, or you do know and are lying rather than admit your mistake. Either way you're a blithering idiot.

[One Bad Pig]

Meh.

Thanks for proving my point, champ.

The person trolling calling me a troll is the one trolling, how funny your lack of self awareness is. Most actual humans define knowing someone personally knowing more than their names and a few details about them. Try again troll boy.

Actual humans who aren't trying to backpedal from their idiocy define knowing some-one personally as having interacted with them in person rather than only being aware of them via reputation, work or remote communication.

[Roy]

I had two roommates my freshman year, and I can't even tell you their last names. We spent most of the time outside of our rooms, had our own circle of friends that we hung out with, and only ever saw each other in passing. So I can say with a straight-face that I did not know either of my roommates personally.

Of course you can. You make lots of ridiculous claims straight-faced.

Do you have any idea how uninformed you are? There are no "sides" here in the legal sense like you imagine, where the Democrats represent the prosecution and the Republicans represent the defense. There will be one independent counsel representing the entire Senate committee and who will be asking questions on their behalf. Grassley himself said that this was done in the interest of "de-politicizing" the process and to prevent certain senators from grandstanding and attempting to launch their presidential campaigns -- gee, who do you suppose he's referring to?

You've never heard an expression like "I work with him but don't know him personally"?

Thank you Mr. Dictionary for educating us on the difference between "personally" and "socially"

You're welcome. Any bets on whether MM will ever admit it?

[lilpixieofterror]

No. Educate yourself.

You're a dope MM. The hired prosecutor is to ask questions for the GOP, not for the Dems. Get a clue!
