Hmm, might have been...twitter is really weird for me (though at least I figured out it was Firefox and have taken steps.)
Shit, looks like it was. Basically the guy was saying that they had to sideline the outside prosecutor they selected, because Kav almost immediately put her in the position of being professionally required to point out that he lied. It was phrased oddly though so maybe the guy deleted it and posted a new one...let me check.

He cited the WSJ and there was no article about it by the WSJ. Either he made it up or he shared it from somewhere fake. Not real.Originally Posted by allegate

I didn't think there even was a more cynical take than mine. Jesus.

watching some recaps of the hearing one thing i didn't notice but the sex crime prosecutor never got to ask kav questions she , one about did you know even griding against a woman is considered sexual assault to which, kav, sheepishly replies, yes. then Lindsey has his melt down, she never returns. was this done on purpose? his answer is awkward did they realize thingswere going badly and want a reset. shr seamed really unprepared.

I think Kavanaugh is going to be get the seat and that scares me. I do think (hope) that we'll swing left after this Trump situation but Gorsuch and now Kavanaugh is going to create a republican supreme court, and that is a lifetime of damage

Reading what Trump stans on Twitter are saying about this is really pissing me off. Saying things like ‘well the Dems are trying to trick him with loaded questions’ or ‘well wouldn’t you go off like that if falsely accused’. He’s a fucking judge isn’t he? It goes with the territory, if someone accused went off like that in his court they’d be in ‘contempt of court’ and if he can’t deal with questioning like that he’s a shit lawyer anyway and shouldn’t be given the position.
if he did what he’s accused of, he’s not fit for the position and the way he’s acted has also made him unfit for the position

My hope is that Dems get ballsy enough and decide to pack the court once they're able to do so.I think Kavanaugh is going to be get the seat and that scares me. I do think (hope) that we'll swing left after this Trump situation but Gorsuch and now Kavanaugh is going to create a republican supreme court, and that is a lifetime of damage

They're awful. One of my coworkers is a sad, small little man who harbors lots of resentment towards women after his divorce (he's cried in my office about it and it was two years ago), and he's a big Trump guy. He was emboldened yesterday with the Thursday hearings. I didn't engage with him because of it and because I knew it'd go downhill fast.

On the docket for next month: a case that would allow presidential pardons to bar the recipient from being tried for the same crime in a state court.
Hmmmmm.....why would they be in such a hurry to push through this nominee?
So not only do we lose Roe v Wade and set the country back several centuries, but we literally let EVERYONE involved in Trump's crime ring off the hook.
When people told me I was overreacting to the election in 2016, this is what I was worried about.

thanks for posting the docket i believe the session starts Monday if i am not mistaken, kav is totally not credible look i actually have a yearbook from 1983, look i know were in a totally different class, look i didn't even think i was going to be able to go to college did we party yes, hell i was a stoner and in a garage band, there is no mention of sexual deeds or conquests or even references to drinking , save one "to a little man who sure can handle the poison " that's it again not a prep school so. not apples to apples, something isn't right about his whole defense.

WHY can't they just find someone else for this LIFETIME appointment? I don't get this. You guys get to install another conservative SCOTUS, what the fuck do Republicans care if he wants to coddle and defend this trainwreck of a president... this man is not acceptable on SO many levels. He could be completely innocent of the charges brought against him by these women and he would still be a wildly inappropriate nomination at this point. Fuck him, fuck off and try again.
Trollhunter
@Jinsai Because Kavanaugh doesn’t think a sitting president should be able to be indicted.
But yes, the GOP should fuck off forever.
Administrator
There’s no way the investigation doesn’t implicate more republicans in the Russia meddling case. They’re protecting themselves by installing kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. That’s why they can’t find someone else. This is their guy. He holds the get out of jail free card for more than just the president.

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...b0343b3dc10289 find this particularly disgusting. let's see can't blame the victim? god knows we can't blame kav? let's blame the information? watched bunch of fox news b.s.today. made it without screaming, OK a little. they really have nothing. focus will move to how awful and partisan the FBI is.what good god loving man kav and how unfair even questioning this man about his past is. and how even asking questions is ruining him and his family's name. wait he's still sitting on a federal bench. still making more money than me. not in jail nothing financial has happened to him. how has he been harmed?

My assumption is that don't think they can get that done in time for November.
Also, there's a real case here for nominating women. All the same repellent views with a hugely reduced likelihood of having raped someone.

i think the republican's are a lot bigger and meaner on the whole charctor assignation thing people probably forget but sotomayor wasto tally held up because she played softball so they were saying she was gay so fuck you Lindsey i look would much rather have a gay justice the a lying rapist justice

As much as I despise Avenatti, I like this idea. My only concern would be the backfire if/when it swings the other way, and suddenly it's like 8-3 Republican to Democrat and it takes a century to flip it.
Active Member
The more I think about this...I feel like this shouldn't even be allowed on the docket due to conflict of interest. You'll have two judges deciding a case that directly impacts the person who gave them the job (note, I would feel differently were the president and many of his colleagues not under active investigation for dozens of felonies).

was watching john Oliver was a good show this week one thing that stuck out and was his body language during testimony am am not an expert but as a student of social engineering have read a lot about it. 1) thing that grabbed me was drinking water a lot as he did during the testimony is usually a sign of discomfort or nervousness, two he tends to blink a lot, again a sign of nervousness or discomfort, most people eye bounce from right to left when reflecting or remembering something his do not. i don't what this means and i am surprised TV pundents haven't been all over this, last and i guess most amusing, he literally had his tongue in cheek while testifying, again i not going to say what this means. again as stated previously stated Sophia sottomayor's nomination was help up because she was on a fucking softball team and were implying she was gay. so save me your bi-partisan reach across the isle bullshit there is one reason and only one reason this nominee is being pushed they think he is going to save the president and party from being disgraced when he is fanally thrown out on his ass from crimes against our republic.

Michael Avenatti is not the originator of this idea, so don't feel bad for liking it. I'm all for it. I really want this idea that we Democrats get and stay more involved on the local and state level so we don't need to use the Supreme Court to effect change and progress. Based on who's been elected 2-4 years ago and the kinds of people and ideas that are breaking through in primaries this year, I'm encouraged that we can stick with this.

HOW WE KNOW KAVANAUGH IS LYING
https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/...naugh-is-lying
------------------
"The existence of a “he said, she said” does not mean it’s impossible to figure out the truth. It means we have to examine what he said, and what she said, as closely as possible. If both parties speak with passion and clarity, but one of them says many inconsistent, evasive, irrational, and false things, while the other does not, then we actually have a very good indicator of which party is telling the truth. If a man claims to be innocent, but does things—like carefully manipulate words to avoid giving clear answers, or lie about the evidence—that you probably wouldn’t do if you were innocent, then testimony alone can substantially change our confidence in who to believe."

they are keeping this whole thing hidden behind a curtain, the wh keeps saying it's unrestricted, the only thing I've read is Yale classmates said he was a big partier, which gives creed to sweatnic's (sp) i think. it's to toxic for public consumption, if these reports come out one is that he committed purgry what then is disbarred? censored? what? does he loose his current seat?I will say, and someone might want to archive this because i'm going to give the trump administration a compliment, it's incompetents has proven the need to conviveen a constitutional convention. because it's proven our current system is highly flawed.

Okay, let's put aside his sexual misconduct allegations for a second to focus on an even bigger problem that his sexual behavior is a result of: his general aggressiveness while drunk.
Kavanaugh College Visit to Bar Erupted in Fight, Classmate Says
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-says-jmqwga1s
The New York Times, citing what the paper said was a copy of a police report, said Kavanaugh and four other men were questioned by the New Haven Police Department. Kavanaugh was not arrested but the 21-year-old victim, Dom Cozzolino, told police that Kavanaugh threw ice at him. A witness said Dudley hit the man in his right ear with a glass, which the report said resulted in injuries that were treated at a hospital.

I don't know shit about this trial, so I'm just reading this thread and comparing it to what the "other side" is saying, but this one got my attention. Reading body language has got way out of hand recently, whether it's sports or politics, and I think it's a terrible trend. If you want to see things, you will. Those people are on a trial which may forever alter their life; they will act weird.
There's a 26 minutes long video tearing apart Christie's body language. You either trust body language, and arrive to the conclusion that both of them are lying, which would be weird, or you don't force it to begin with, because it's just stupid.
edit: one thing to add though is that if one side is keep coming up with these bullshit body-language analysis, then the other one has to do the same in order to fight bullshit with bullshit. Sadly, I think this is the reason that we won't see this trend disappearing.
"Mr. Kavanaugh was not arrested, but the police report stated that a 21-year-old man accused Mr. Kavanaugh of throwing ice on him “for some unknown reason.”
Throwing ice as a drunk 20 year old warrants discussion?
