You and I cola and junebug and no doubt others here are all on the same page.
As a young man I was mildly arrogant, articulate, athletic, not easily intimidated and so these types would take me into their confidences. They would brag about their exploits, maybe thinking Iâd be impressed.
i could not relate in the slightest, but kept my own counsel for survival. Theyâre a type to be sure, become mgrs in Fortune 500 companies â at least back in the 70s and 80s. I found them deeply bigoted and mysogynistic.
Many that I knew were devout Catholics. Two of the worst sons of bitches I ever ran into had left Catholic seminaries to join the secular world. These are the guys who run the world.
Occasionally they get a comeuppance. I saw two go down in flames as an indirect result of an office affair. Major schadenfreude.

Kavanaugh doesnât represent itâŚhe helped create itâŚthis nomination is payback/reward for all the work he has done going back to WhitewaterâŚheâs been involved (actively) in so many major vicious and sketchy Republican power plays since the 90âsâŚhe is not some supporting player. He was groomed for this, but he has been actively involved w/ crafting their strategy & executing it. He and his cronies are lifelong members of the DC establishment and they want to hold onto power.
Thatâs why it was so dangerous for this woman to come forward. And why the changing demographics are a huge threat to them.
And there are so many in his group who will do anything to show their loyaltyâŚthey are spread out all over the place and in different industries. For example, some are banking executivesâŚthey can mess w/ her credit or loans or things like that. Or w/ her family.
I wouldnât put anything past them.

And yet Dr. Ford will be painted as a liberal ELITIST, but if BK is mentioned as such it will be religious discrimination

Thereâs no way they could have coerced the 65 women who supposedly knew Kavanaugh 35 years ago and signed the letter vouching for him within 24 hours of the victims letter being released to the FBI and all Senators. Grassley knew about this shit long ago and they had this reaction planned just knowing that it would not stay hidden.

Very scary. I hope everyone is okay.
Thatâs a very nasty skeleton in at the time Senate Judiciary Chairman Joe Bidenâs closet right? It will be dug up and used against him should the old ânice guyâ run for POTUS in 2020.

âNo president has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people from more backgrounds to seek input about a supreme court nomination.â
The wide consultation appears to have included Roy Moore.

Josh is right. A supreme court justice needs to be beyond reproach. Ms. Fordâs account is credible, at least to me.

I could not agree more.
I hold the judiciary to the highest standard I have. I can excuse some things that elected legislators and even presidents do, but not SCOTUS justices - they have to be above reproach, as you said.

Kavanaugh has apparently not always been as sober as a judge.

Ah, allow me to offer you the pleasure of an introduction to Ms. Alexandra Petri, WaPoâs premiere satirist and author of the ComPost blog. Her epic roast of Carter Pageâs testimony is the stuff of satirist legend: The paranoid Carter Page transcript: What in Godâs name did I just read?
