Seriously, you offer nothing why do you post here?

One thing I offer is how ridiculous your posts are (such as claiming how factually objective Rachel Maddow is and claiming that the reason Blasey didn't go to the police is because she was afraid that Kavanaugh's mother would have just covered it all up.)

In short, don't write such unsupportable nonsense and I would have nothing to comment on.

I am sorry after years at Xavier you never learned empathy. I am also sorry you never learned mutual respect even if your views don't match someone else's views. These are pretty easy things most educated people understand.

Good question, is it possible a naive 15 year old girl who was just assaulted might keep quiet because she knew or heard the assaulter's mother was a DA? I have seen children stay quiet about things because of less, it is not a stretch to think this a possibility.

Again, Maddow runs a nightly show. She is going to make a few mistakes. She is actually one of if not the best of the nightly shows. You are going to find instances she made mistakes, she is human. But on the aggregate, she is right most of the time. You might not agree with her narrative, but her facts are nonetheless correct. Using liar liar pants on fire, doesn't cut it.

He won't win, see our slander laws they side with the accuser. Now in Europe, the case is a tad different as they lean to the accused party.

I find this quite funny. We know for certain that Kavanaugh at the minimum deliberately slanted his testimony and misrepresented others testimony to his favor. At worst, he lied. We know he lied regarding his behavior in both High School and College. We also saw him completely melt down last Thursday even noting a Clinton conspiracy. All this marginalia is enough to show he isn't Supreme Court justice material or any judge material for that matter. Why back him so hard? Are there no other conservative justices out there beyond reproach?

Been watching your fact based hard hitting non-slanted pal Maddow again huh?

Hi Pot meet kettle....you really fit your party's lines quite well.....telling others how to think and feel and then scolding them when they don't support your views. Are you a celebrity??

Maybe seek your own advice here and have empathy for a man that has been raked over the coals by an event that may or may not have ever happened and whose reputation has a black mark based on hearsay.

I am sorry that you are so blinded by your ideology that you feel you can just make things up, make outlandish and unsupportable statements, and then claim they are "facts". I am so sorry that you are so blinded to your ideology that you think Rachel Maddow is "right" on the "facts" almost all of the time. Again, just because you agree with her opinion on something doesn't mean that she has her "facts" correct. You apparently don't understand the difference between commentary and factual reporting.

As for your second paragraph, can you give me one shred of evidence that occurred in this case? She never said that in her hearing or any interviews. Instead, you just wildly speculate about things and then conjure in your own mind that your fantasies are actually facts.

So...Kavanaugh is going to get confirmed, Heitkamp has sealed her fate, Trump's approval ratings are about as high as they've ever been, and Republicans who were pretty blah about the mid-terms are now fired the hell up.

Well played Democrats, well played.

"The Republicans' approach has been, and continues to be, all about the base," Miringoff said. "This is their M.O., and that's what we're seeing. That works if turnout is not high."

Dems blew the last election bcuz they didn't get the vote out. No enthusiasm for Hillary. They have a big surplus in registered voters but need to get them to the polls.

We're basically at the point where the Democratic Party stands for not being Donald Trump. Don't get me wrong, that's a pretty solid place to be right now, but they don't add anything except that. What does the democratic party stand for? Medicare for all? ACA? Decreased defense? Breaking up financial institutions? I genuinely have no clue and I'm an independent in a blue district - not great. Trump could be bad enough to drive people to the polls, but having an agenda that can move the country forward might be better. Just a thought.

We do?

And because it's not about him. It's about the tactics used by Feinstein and the rest of them. In the words of Barack Obama, elections have consequences. And democrats haven't seemed to grasp that since Hillary lost.

Yes. Former classmates from 35 years ago said he blacked out and took part in gang rapes, and he testified he didn't, so obviously he lied.
