Live coverage of Kavanaugh Hearing with new witnesses

And the thing is he's insulting with the lies. It's gaslighting. "Devil's Triangle" is a drinking game, like quarters, but different? How different? He doesn't say. "Boof" is flatulence? So the two friends ask each other whether they've farted yet? Renate alumni was meant as a compliment, that she didn't know about and finds offensive? He's treasurer of the 100 keg club but never suffered any loss of memory? FFFFFFourth of July is making fun of a guy's stutter? He 'ralphed' at Beach Week because of spicy food, not because he got wasted?

Those are all little, inconsequential lies, but they're not believable - every term that looks like it points to a party, drinking culture that's not respectful of women has completely innocent meanings, and he's a choir boy who was captain etc.!

The fact that you have to misrepresent what was actually said to make your point discredits your entire post.

No what I mean is that that's the reason they are on Feinstein. The Ds keep saying why not an investigation, and in response the Rs are basically saying because it's too late now and she shouldn't have kept this a secret so long. If she would have brought it forward earlier, there would have been more time.

In addition, the Ds can request and investigation, so go ahead and request one. In the meantime, if they are not really doing all this just to stall, have the vote. If the investigation comes back he is guilty, then he is removed from his position. Simple.

She kept it confidential as promised.
The Dems can request, but the Chairman signs off on it. Otherwise it ain't happening

He is also showing signs of not being able to keep his cool and be calm and collect.. quite unstable in fact. That is not a trait I would want in a supreme court judge, regardless of the truth of the accusations against him.

Oooooooooooooooh.... More delay fodder... Lets have someone falsely accused of sexual assault investigated because he is now "unstable".....

How do you know he's lying?

Get rid of the bolded and try again.


As a "Mr. Coons" just explained, the hearing right now is to assess their credibility in general and regarding the allegations. If your position is that refusing to say "yes" or "no" to "would you agree to an FBI investigation?" during such a hearing is not evasive, then there really isn't anything to discuss.

Go back to his opening statement wherein Judge Kavanaugh stated he was open to an FBI investigation.
 
Booker as a sniper............kaboom!

He's not being falsely accused. He is being accused, which is exactly why there should be an investigation. :roll:

"Have you ever drank to the point of passing out?"

"Have you?"

Simple: no. I did not ever "pass out." However, I did go to bed intentionally while drunk many many times when I was younger. And yes, I inhaled. But I'm a big boy now!




Easy.

What's K's problem?

He answered that question already before it was asked this time. How many time does he have to answer that same question? He answers it the first time, but not the fifth time and suddenly he is being evasive.

Was that before or after he accused the Clintons of being behind this accusation against him?
 
Booker is taking the baton, and further showing how awful Democrats are conducting themselves.

Then why couldn't he simply answer the later questions with 'yes, I said that in my opening statement. But yes"?

Why instead always flounder around insisting that the hearing is the investigation and that the process is unfair? Just say "yes, do it already. Do it."

What was his precise answer the first time he was asked?
