No. You didn't. You just think you did.

Your perception has been tainted by the assumptions you've made, and the lies and distortions you've both created and been fed.

So, run along and play your role.

Everything I need to know about you is in what you post.

Whatever you say, Larry.

Because rating anyone here by what they post is like judging a fine wine by it's label, only.

Ciao, chump.

Um, I’m supposed to “know” you by what you DON’T write?

What, I’m supposed to uncork you and let you breathe before I discover what I already know, you’re rancid vinegar?

Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense!

The point is, dim one, you don't truly know anyone here, anymore than you know George Will or Maureen Dowd or Bret Stephens.

You're delusional, if you think otherwise.

Well, I did have a nice conversation over cocktails some years back with George Will and C. Boydon Gray at Cleta Mitchell’s House... that would have been in early aughts.

If what you post is not what you truly think or believe than I am positive I know your one most important attribute, you’re totally full of shit.

The witnesses against Brett “Shady Scumbag” Kavanaugh just keep lining up. He’s dishonest and unethical in such a wide and varied set of circumstances that he’s almost the perfect republican nominee. He’s making mushrooms* out of all the GOP members of the judiciary committee.

* mushroom is being defined colloquially as a disappointing or unimpressive dick head.

What you don't get, Utley, and never have, is that it is far simpler than you think it is.

You are either the person you present to us when you post, who likes to threaten and attack others...

Or you are a person who likes to pretend to be the person you are when you post, including all the threatening.

Oh, so much better.

Have to say a number of things adding up against Kavanaugh:
- he used stolen Dem materials to guide a judicial nominee through.  And apparently lied about it under oath
- he misrepresented under oath that he hadn't been involved in Pickering's nomination, when docs now show he was point man
- he's almost certainly against Roe v Wade
- accused of sexual assault (drop the "attempted" kiid) years back
- was into binge drinking with his alcoholic buddy in high school

anything I'm missing?

Not sure he'll get derailed, but his squeaky clean image has certainly been tarnished.

The Donalds type of judge. A white nordic male, a misogynist, a sexual predator, and an old school interpreter of the constitution who loves the president.

As for Kavanaugh and Roe v. Wade, read the article linked.
This is supposed to be important news?
Who doesnt know Kavanaugh is opposed to abortion and the Roe V Wade decision?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a strong defender of abortion rights but thinks Roe V Wade was wrongly
decided.
But it is now the law of the land.
And just as you have a devil of a time putting toothpaste back in the tube the analogy is the same for Roe v Wade as Kavanaugh has admitted.

Kava said that neither Roe nor PP v Casey was consistent with the Glucksberg test.   That's pretty unambiguous opp to Roe.  If Collins really meant all those pretty statements about defending abortion rights,  then she must vote no on Kava.   If K sides with the Rehnquist dissent,  then he would likely shoot down Roe if it came Scotus...or at least chip away at abortion rights however he could.

No matter what happened with Ms Ford?

And no, all current evidence does not dispute the contention that Kavanaugh is a misogynist in the mold of Trump:
