I don't except the other "lies" that the nytimes claims to be trying to debunk. I just didn't see the need to go line by line refuting each one. I quickly picked two a moved on.

I do believe that he never drank to the point of blacking out, why wouldn't you?

Devil's Triangle could be a drinking game they made up, why would this be a lie?

Boofing sounds like a onomatopoeia to me. Even the nytimes and the Washington post in your two articles contradict each other to what the definition to the word boofing means. One claims its anal sex, the other barfing from drinking to much, while Kavanaugh claims it regards to flatulence. Again where is the lie?

Nothing to do with the NYT and everything to do with the list of lies I posted for you this morning
 
I voted 1 to 3 still okay to allow for "misunderstandings".


Kavanaugh has gone beyond that. The FBI investigation may help show how far beyond that he has gone. Assuming that we get to see the results. If the White House would have released more of his writings, that might also help show how far he has gone, but since what they released already was so incriminating, what are the odds that they would release any more without a court order ... or even with one ....

Your links where garbage like the others. Kavanaugh said he drink and even at times had to many beers. So what?
His statement was he never blacked out, and just because you went binge drinking with Kavanaugh doesn't mean you know for a fact that he blacked out.

Are you old enough to have ever been in high school or college?

Yes
How about you answer my questions to you from post #25

Were you in any parties where drinking was going on during high school or college?

I don't believe that, or I don't believe that you accept that he frequently drank to excess but never blacked out. At least one of your two statements is false.

How many should Chris Ford be allowed before she faded into obscurity again.

A couple handy tabulations of outright falsehoods and disputed claims by Kavnaugh during his on oath hearings.

Even if you accept that he's innocent of attempted sexual assault, his falsehoods and behavior outright disqualify him.

if you believe these articles are not partisan poppycock and distortions. Which they are.

Can't answer the question?

I understand.

It's a tough one since the answer could come back to bite you the next time it's a Democrat whom you want to disqualify from high office for mendacity.

This lady knows far more than you do, or ever will.
 
Swear him in already. I'm tired of seeing 20 different threads about Kavanaugh every day. It's time for a subject change.

Did he drink to excess?
A person he went to college said so, in his own words he says he drank beer and sometimes drank to many beers.
I know what its like to drink to the point of blacking out, I also know what its like to drink to excess and not black out. I know what its like to drink to the point of puking but still believe my memory is fully intact.
Whats the point of these questions Cardinal?

You have to be more specific.

How many false statements are acceptable to me or to the Republicans who will put him in there? That is a huge gap in answers. That gap is probably in the thousands.
 
I have to admit, this whole ordeal does seem like a bit of a witch hunt. OK, he possibly sexually assaulted someone in high school. Under normal court conditions I'd imagine that there would be a statute of limitations on that, especially when there's no real evidence other than her word. (For the record, I do believe her.) I think the senate really doesn't care about the sexual assault piece. If they did they would've investigated the moment it was brought up; but as Kavanaugh himself said, it took them 10 days to hold a hearing. And since the Senate hearing is not an actual trial, it's really just the court of public opinion at play.

What bugs me is that technically Kavanaugh perjured himself but not telling the truth at least once. I mean, it was over dumb stuff, like saying he never got so drunk in his youth that he didn't know what he was doing; but the fact that he felt the need to lie to maintain his image is a red flag.

Actually it just shows that I am adult enough not to get into childish "he did so, he did not" games.
 
Winchester said:
It's the dishonesty about stupid **** that bothers me and makes me question whether he's truthful on anything. It was not legal for him to drink in HS, he was not of age when they raised the age and therefore wasn't grandfathered in. Why in the hell even try to paint a picture of himself that he was drinking legally. Hardly anyone was at that age. Turning of age was a huge deal at the time (19 where I lived) he would have remembered if he could "legally" drink or not.

At that time 18 was the legal age for beer and wine, same for DC. When the drink age in Maryland went to 21 we simply dove over to DC.

You speak of proof, but you accept that, with no evidence, Kavanagh lied about being so drunk he couldn't remember what he did the knight before; where's your proof of that? Everyone who has submitted an affidavit to the Senate declaims this - they are all lying??
