Now dummies are calling for him to be fired from Harvard unless there is a fair trial. You don't get a fricken trial when you have a **** case libtard frickers.

Says the person who is of the opinion that Kavanaugh didn't do it, just because he says so ... and also wouldn't like itt to be investigated in order to find out the truth
(hint: Guilty persons as well as innocent persons would say that they didn't do it (what they are accused of) ... and it is easier for a guilty person to say that he didn't do it, than for a victim (of a person who now is in a high political position) to come forward and accuse the perpetrator ... especially if the perpetrator is part of the GOP, as the GOPs (and their followers) reaction to accusations usually is, to semar the victim/s and threaten them, as the past proves)

That doesn't work in this situation because it is at least possible that she is doing this for political reasons. And everyday more information comes out proving that she has political motivation. If she had any chance of a criminal case it is gone now. She destroyed it. Why would she do that? And why do you pretend to believe such a person?

If you want to be believed cooperate with investigators. That doesn't mean say you want to cooperate. That means do it. Do it like it's supposed to be done.

Well to be fair to Kid, that's consistent with his morals. His morals just suck.

Republican Morals!

Brett Kavanaugh accuser offers to testify to Senate


A woman who accuses Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh of trying to rape her in 1982 has offered to testify to the Senate if it can "ensure her safety".

Christine Blasey Ford's lawyer says her client will not appear on Monday, as senators proposed, but might do so next week on "terms that are fair".

Republicans had vowed to press ahead with the confirmation amid uncertainty over whether the accuser would testify.

Judge Kavanaugh has issued a fresh rebuttal of the allegation.
....
She continued: "She wishes to testify, provided that we can agree on terms that are fair and which ensure her safety."

But she ruled out any testimony next Monday, calling the date "arbitrary".

The attorney said her client would prefer to wait for the FBI to investigate the accusation before agreeing to testify.

But US President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have already ruled that out.

The FBI investigated a sexual harassment claim against a Supreme Court nominee in 1991 at the behest of the White House, finishing that inquiry in three days.
...
A petition backing Prof Ford, signed by more than 1,000 alumnae from Holton-Arms, her former Maryland high school, was delivered on Thursday to two Democratic women senators.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a New York Democrat, said at the event: "Someone who is lying does not ask the FBI to investigate their claims.

"Judge Kavanaugh has not asked to have the FBI investigate these claims. Is that the reaction of an innocent person? It is not."

Well, seems like at least half of the GOP voters like liar scum, as Trumps popularity proves

That's rich coming from a "I believe what she said because she said that" twit.

[Aeson]

No you don't.

You are engaging in a smear campaign against the accuser because your preferred pick for the Court is now under threat.

Well to be fair to Kid, that's consistent with his morals. His morals just suck.

[Proteus_MST]

Well in the end they will all burn in hell, but yeah, I was talking about the midterms. They might win the midterms, but I think in the long run they are going to lose because people don't like liar scum.

You are such an idiot. You know republicans will lose the house. That's a given. The Senate was going to be close, but this whole mess may actually end up causing republicans to lose it too.

And democrats are going to win the midterms because people don't like liar scum indeed. The republicans are liar scum. And in 2020, you will lose the White House too.

[Kidlicious]

Depends on what winning entails ... winning with regards to preventing Kavanaugh maybe not ...
wining with regards to making voting for Kavanaugh very costly for the GOP senators (with regards to the midterm elections) ...maybe

Well in the end they will all burn in hell, but yeah, I was talking about the midterms. They might win the midterms, but I think in the long run they are going to lose because people don't like liar scum.

[Giancarlo]

We'll see what happens. The dems think they are going to win here. It's very risky. They could lose big. They could be done.

No... Actually you could end up losing the Senate if he is confirmed. The House is already gone for you.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/09/brett-kavanaugh-could-backfire-on-republicans.html

Slate had a great article on this. Damned if he is confirmed, damned if he isn't. This whole mess has already enraged a majority of voters.

[Giancarlo]

I actually have morals.

No you don't.

You are engaging in a smear campaign against the accuser because your preferred pick for the Court is now under threat.

Poor Toad: How Stormy Daniels ruined Mario Kart

He's the lovable mushroom-headed character from the Super Mario games.

But thanks to excerpts from porn star Stormy Daniels' tell-all book, Toad has become associated with US President Donald Trump.

In it, she compares Trump's penis to the "mushroom character in Mario Kart".

It was a detail which sent people online reeling, with many suggesting Toad deserved much better, and it wasn't long before the inevitable memes and jokes started.
.......
Meanwhile, NY Mag's Brian Feldman argued this was the latest example of the "modern joys" of being a Mario fan.

"A relatively bland franchise has been pushed to incredible new heights by an internet hive mind relentlessly devoted to corrupting every part of this franchise," he wrote.

"In fact, that's really the main appeal of Mario at this point."

Kavanaugh gets huge support by women in the US btw.
They founded a support group ("Women for Kavanaugh") drive around in this huge support bus with 44 passenger places.
The bus is barely large enoiugh to fit all members of the support group, which numbers 7 men and 6 women
