Trump doesn't drink.

But Kavanaugh lied about his drinking.

See?http://theweek.com/speedreads/798739/republican-yale-drinking-buddy-kavanaughs-tells-cnn-lied-senate-judiciary-committee

What else is he hiding? What else would he lie about?

Credibility crisis. Not what the country needs on the Court.

Corker will vote YES, Flake will vote YES and I have no doubt that, in the end, Murkowski and Collins will vote YES. 

I viewed yesterday as theater.  Sad, horrible and depressing.  But theater nevertheless.

---On Saturday September 22, 2018 at the ValleyFair amusement park in Shakopee, Minnesota, police and emergency responders had to evacuate all guests after a mob of Somali teenagers and men rushed through security and caused several violent fights to break out inside the park.

According to eyewitnesses who were at the park to celebrate Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, a group of nearly 100 Somali men mob rushed past security and amusement park staffers at the front entrance, and proceeded to run through the park and instigate fights among themselves and with guests.

As several violent fights broke out, guests began to panic as reports of people being stabbed and shot began to circulate.---

"I left the hearing yesterday with as much doubt as certainty," Flake said, but "what I do know is that our system of justice affords a presumption of innocence to the accused, absent corroborating evidence."

Again, this isn't a trial or legal proceeding.
And one reason there is no corroborating evidence is because the Senate refuses to have the FBI investigate or subpoena Mark Judge.

The GOP seems hung up on this notion that,  because Judge made a statement, that's an "investigation."  I guess the Trump zombie brigade laps this shit up.   

Flake had spine-ectomy in the night.   No surprise but still disappointing.

Nope, not possible. To paraphrase Jane Curtin, the late Senator Flake was born without a spine.

He has never been more than a highly partisan conservative hack politician who dislikes Donald Trump while supporting all his policies.

No.  They just want to do the minimum and move on to a vote.
It's a fig leaf.

As far as I heard Judge didn't directly deny that there was such a party or that the alleged sexual assault occurred.  He just stated that he doesn't recall any such thing.  It's a carefully crafted denial, no doubt on advice of counsel.

Not sure if his statement has been made public or has leaked out.

He lied (to a classmate) about sex as well.

I think I made the same joke about Graham yesterday. Trump is forcing me to cycle through my material,way to quickly.

Any chance I might have thought of Kavanagh as angry over being wrongly accused went away when he started talking about the 2016 3lection and the Clintons. That was not legitimate anger but a show orchestrated by the White  House. That and lying about terms like "alumni" and Devil's Triangle. Okay, you can be an ass in high school. Most of us were. But.fucking OWN IT. Don't lie about it and expect to be believed about big things.

His SWORN testimony is that he has no knowledge of the incident in question.
