    Would you agree that if the FBI finds confirmation that BK should go to jail?

    There won't be a 5 minute time limit for Kavanaugh to fillibuster. They will wait patiently for him to answer their questions. First they will likely ask him why his calendar notes several small gatherings with friends to drink beers, yet he repeatedly denied being at any small gathering to drink beers like the one Ford described.

    That's if he even agrees to be questioned. More than likely he won't. Neither will Judge or TJ. The girl who was friends might.

    The FBI will also look into the 2 other allegations.

    Opening statement:
    On a side note, if you made a drinking game about taking a sip every time Brett said "Beer" in his testimony you would probably be dead right now. :alcoholic:

    I have little doubt that there was more than beer consumed at many of these gatherings and parties.

    And here he is later in questioning: (Please not how many times he says "beers" ;) He was asked about "alcohol".)

    Of course he claims to not know what "too many beers" is. Referring to the blood alcohol chart you won't find a line saying "too many".

    Facts say you don't, and I'm not going to debate this further.

    Woot! Good, that means I’ll win $25.

    As for the false narrative that witnesses have signed statements saying it never happened, that’s still a false narrative regardless if Brett is confirmed or not.

    Ok, I am fine with that too as I honestly think she is lying.

    This just seems "too perfect" for the Democrats.

    Either they don't confirm him and lose their bases enthusiasm, or they do confirm him and gain Democrat base enthusiasm.

    It is "too perfect" with the timing and the strategy, almost a pincer move.

    That being said, if it TRULY is about this case, then I think my example works well.

    Otherwise, if I were the Republicans I would just ram it through as since the Democrats have set up a losing strategy for you anyways, you may as well.... as you said, "ram it through".

    Looks like they actually ARE going to take my advice though with a "limited FBI investigation".

    Actually is a pretty good move by Republicans. When the investigation goes through, if nothing is found, I think the Democratic base enthusiasm will be blunted by Independants who feel this was actually nothing but a political strategy.

    I look forward to the investigation now

    Disagreed on your assessment. Please consider that there’s Ford’s statement and then there’s how th Democrats handled it, even betraying her trust and pushing her into testifying.

    Yes, I’d like to see an investigation too but it appears Trump and the Republicans are against it. We shall see.

    Uh, they LITERALLY just agree to open a "limited investigation", as I just said. Looks like after the testimonies that you are correct, Republicans agree that the Democrats and Ford looked worse than the Republicans and Kav to the public. Seems like they feel comfortable pushing through except for Flake. Which seems why Trump made the comment about an investigation.

    Actually kinda looks like they took my advice!

    And what part of my assessment do you disagree with? You DON'T think it is a "pincer move" by the Democrats? It is literally the exact same thing they did with Thomas and it lead to the "Year of Women", as the media is trying to plaster all over the internet.

    Are you saying you don't think the Dem base will be pumped up if/when Kav is confirmed? You think they will side with Ford over their part?

    I sure don't

    I don’t do text walls, but you opened with you think Ford was lying then moved on to the Democrats. I pointed out the difference between what Ford said and what the Democrats did.

    So the answer to my question is "I disagree with the assertion she is lying?" Was that so hard?

    Ok, so in other words you brought up a completely different conversation?

    I am sorry you don't have the attention span to read 9 sentences.

    No reason to. What are they going to investigate that has not already been investigated?

    Dude, you are free to complain all you like and scream the sky is brown and the ground is blue. It doesn’t change what I said as anyone can read for themselves.

    Disgusting....Democrats have driven rational discussion into the sewer.
    They don't want delay and that's it. What's the FBI gonna do anyway? Try to catch witnesses in a lie? Or perhaps they'll find out what a promiscuous lying tramp Dr. Ford is.

    She came as a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing. Those who thought she was "credible" saw only her outer shell. Those who saw through the shell could see the deception and perverseness of her inner motives.

    Mark Judge. Leland Keyser. Ford's husband's story. Friends of BK who said he was known to get excessively drunk. And anything else related.

    I still expect Kavanaugh will be confirmed on an entirely partisan vote 51 to 49. The FBI will take their week, they'll interview each of the alleged witnesses which have been identified (Smyth, Judge and Keyser) who will confirm their previous testimony. The FBI could also interview the students identified in both Kavanaugh and Ford's high school yearbooks to see if they can offer any corroboration, they could even search property records going back 36 years to identify and question everyone who owned a home with two floors within 10 miles of either school between the summer of 1980 and 1982 to see if any (who are till alive) recall circumstances that could have led to teenagers partying at their residence at the time. I expect their search will produce an inconclusive report, which will be delivered to the Senate where Democrats will again denounce the disregard and insensitivity of Republicans to the suffering of this assaulted 15 year-old girl, the brutality of her assailant, the humiliation and harassment poor Ford has endured. Then there will be a vote; 51 to 49.

    You seem to lack the necessary imagination. You also seem to lack a basic understanding of how these things work in real life.

    You, sir, will NOT be called to testify on my behalf in my upcoming civil suit against my mom for touching me in my private areas when *allegedly* changing my diapers.
