Brett Kavanaugh’s yearbook has become a surprising form of evidence against him. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.
Read more here: www.rawstory.c...
“According to the report, Dolphin was one of the 65 women who signed a letter vouching for the nominee after knowing him in high school. She was not aware of the mention of her name in the 1983 yearbook when she signed the letter on September 14.
‘I learned about these yearbook pages only a few days ago,’ Dolphin told the Times in a statement. ‘I don’t know what ‘Renate Alumnus’ actually means. I can’t begin to comprehend what goes through the minds of 17-year-old boys who write such things, but the insinuation is horrible, hurtful and simply untrue.’
‘I pray their daughters are never treated this way,’ she added.
In a statement, Kavanaugh’s lawyer Alexandra Walsh claimed the mention refers to a single kiss the two shared in high school.”

I am not even that concerned with the party boy life he had as a teenager. I mean let's be honest, we partied a lot when we were young.
But the way he lies at ease, and is expected to hold the highest levels of justice on the supreme court is what bothers me.
And his beliefs about presidential power, among others is just creepy and disgusting.
His beliefs about presidential power (& other issues) are exactly why the Republicans are trying to shove his nomination through to a successful vote.
TC Just TC ………. It was the way Mrs. K. looked, acted, sounded ( for what little he allowed her to speak during the 'interview' ) that is telling. Same look I've seen hundreds of times of the harried, distressed, worn down, spouse of an active, successful, alcoholic . These ( particularly married women about 15 years in ) and they are numbed and demoralized . They show up at their first Al-Anon meetings, and they can barely speak - they are so conditioned into abject support for the alcoholic ( enabling ) and suffering silence . Mrs. K. is another victim . Mental and psychological torture at minimum. Possible physical abuse, or threats of ( but not always ).
In 2015 he was bragging about his school days. And as a judge he hired the hot clerks. He hasn't changed.
He’s still humiliating people. Namely, his accusers and his wife.
It's not just what he was like as a student ... it's the fact he is so comfortable lying under oath.
People can change but people who genuinely change would admit their faults done in the past. The fact that he's lying about his past is indicative of his current and true character.
You dont know that for sure that his past is that what they say or even what he says!
He made a big mistake by saying it never happened. He should have said yes, I was such a jerk in high school...even collage. I need to apologize to the women from my past and hope they are able to forgive me. He should be disqualified from the SC because he lied, not because he was a jerk.
Yes exactly...but if he actually had any patriotism and honor, he would withdraw from the nomination....scumbag!
Valerie P …….. Yes, but both. One follows the other. I say that he is an active alcoholic ( from the way Mrs. K. looked/acted during 'interview' ). All are disqualifying .
If he had said "I was a drunken jerk in high school and college" I would give him some tiny credit but he's lying about it.
Another point: while he was a scum bag in High School and College, today he still denies it. He could say at least, hey I was messed up, I was with the wrong crowd, I'm not the same today, I'm sorry for being that guy.
He could have changed over the years, but he obviously hasn't. If he wasn't lying about who he was, maybe he could have changed, but with all his attempts to cover this up, there is no chance.
Someone who lies about the horrible person they were is not someone who has changed for the better.
ESPECIALLY when they're being considered for a job that's all about determining truth. HEL-LOOOO.!!
Exactly. The first step in changing at all, is admitting you were wrong. He seems to be unable to admit to anything, which lumps all the accusations together such that, if you prove one, you seem to have proved them all.
For example. If he denies ever drinking, gambling, or committing assault, then what happens when you can prove he lied about the drinking? You haven't proven the other two, but you realize that if he wouldn't admit to the lesser crime, then there is no way he would be honest about the greater one. Nobody is likely to say "Yes I killed the man, but I didn't rob him" unless they really didn't rob him.
If he was smart, he would have admitted a couple crappy things to muddy the waters, but blanket denials are suspicious, and it's too late now to walk it back.
Ha, well he panicked himself into a real pickle by saying it was legal for him to drink at 18 in Maryland (no it wasn't), and that he was a virgin for "many years" after high school! And that was with a friendly FOX News host interviewing him!! He just lost his sh, started on a rant that wasn't even an answer to her question, and told at least one lie, plus one extremely dubious claim.
Believe me, a woman can remember details of a rape SIXTY years ago! For instance: Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when Kennedy was shot, or the towers went down? A rape is such a dramatic affront to a woman's psyche that she can remember extreme details!
Unless she tried to forget and block out the details.
That is not true. Every person is different. Many people suppress and bury traumatic experiences. There is a whole field of hypnotherapy digging up details that were suppressed in people's subconscious. Many people don't want to relive the experience through description and recollection. It's a coping mechanism and it is very plausible someone had something horrible happen to them and not remember specific details.
I think Kavanaugh showed his true colors when he refused to shake the hand of the father of a Parkland student. The look of disgust on his face when the father extended his hand was all I needed to see.
The yearbook provides context to his underlying self that he believes he’s hiding well from us.
Had Kavanaugh actually CHANGED, and become a 'decent guy' over the last 35 years, right now he would be telling the world 'The way I treated women back then was WRONG. I very much regret what I did and how I acted. To those who I disrespected - I apologize from the bottom of my heart. If there is anything I can do to make it right - including withdrawing from this nomination - I will do it'.
Uhhh, he has been accused of sexual assault and rape. So that's not how you respond to those allegations.
I think it proves he’s a compulsive liar.
The issue is that he is about to became a supreme court judge and he is clearly lying to the people of the United States. Everybody who knows him (friends and enemies) tells that he was an excessive drinker yet he denies it. We dont know whether he is a rapist but we do know that he is a liar.
Unchecked, unchallenged people don't change. PERIOD.
Exactly, kavanaugh is garbage
So true!
If he was a better person today, he would admit his mistakes not lie and pretend they don't exist.
Bingo. 👍
I'm surprised he hasn't bailed yet. Is the raise in salary so great to put up with this circus?
not just his classmate, but the American PEOPLE are disgusted that such a drunken high school behavior is accepted as "normal" for a Supreme Court position.
If Kavanaugh wants fairness he should insist on an FBI investigation.
Yes. He has had background checks......time for FBI to check on Accusers' backgrounds. Hmmm?
That's the wrong question to ask. Shouldn't be "he's clearly horrible..." It should be "he just lied straight to the face of America about this. How can we have him on the bench as a Justice?"
It's pretty simple for me. If he was innocent, he would be publicly calling for an FBI investigation into his past, as well as taking a lie detector. If someone accused me of something like this, and I knew I was innocent, I'd be screaming to anyone who would listen.
He's guilty.
Maria Cupo 👌🏻
The part that worries me about this isn't that he was an asshole to women. His more recent track record tells us that. It is that he appears to have been a hapless follower his entire life. Ingratiating himself with people he envied/admired. As a possible supreme court justice, that is terrifying.
Regardless what he did 35 years ago in high school... he's lied about it in the here and now, very obviously and that should disqualify him from serving in any court, regardless of the outcome of any investigation into allegations of wrongdoing back then.
James Lewis lied about what?
James Lewis
Where is the lie? I'm trying very hard to see the logic in your comment. Does it not matter to you, sir, that the Democrats said they would NOT confirm this nominee, BEFORE anything was concocted....ahem....I mean, alleged? No? You don't see that the Democrats need only lead the sheep (such as yourself), slightly off course and....ta da.....the WHOLE flock of you, come barreling down the path of INSANITY? where right is wrong and black is white? How does this happen?
You were 17 once, James....and I'm going to assume that you're not a rapist or even, an attempted rapist. I'm going to assume I'm talking to a regular guy here......you honestly see some damning evidence in Kavanaugh's yearbook musings? Really? You disregard the fact that the man was top of his class in a prep school, a (secretly, proud) virgin THROUGHOUT his high school AND college years, DOESNT EVEN USE PROFANITY OF ANY KIND in his yearbook, my goodness.....the PROOF OF GUILT is that he wrote "Alumni Renate" to insinuate an "honorary" place in their school, for a girl that, worst case scenario, was meant to convey the idea he'd "hooked up" with this girl? Or, wanted to? Really? How do you make that leap? A 17 year old kid, whose every word is searched, dissected, and examined, for some incriminating, hidden meaning, that, calling a girl an "alumni", is the tell-tale evidence ......of what, exactly? that he LIED? How? Please explain.
Maybe, the Senate should have asked him if he'd ever masturbated, as a teenager. THAT would've, SURELY, been the needed PROOF that he was/is a depraved animal, capable of an attempted rape, right? There you go, Supreme Court confirmation, shut down!
Wrong. I'm convinced that
Trump picked the only guy IN AMERICA, that, never, so much as made a sideways glance at anyone, let alone ATTACK a helpless, little girl.
Phew....don't know how Trump pulled that off.... I'm certain any other male, if dealt such an allegation of sexual misconduct, especially in the awkward teen years, in the broadest scope, however innocuous, would have failed. I know that because I was once a teenage girl, and having experienced similar occurrences, recognize that most other girls have, too.
Shame on you, James, for being a sheep.
Baaaahd, baaaahd sheep.
James Lewis you don’t have to pretend to be British. My best advice to all you liberals or fake brits pretending not to be liberal that would be you James why don’t you let the the FBI investigate the facts rather than making your assumptions that is absolutely based on nothing. That’s my best advice for you.
When I was 17 you knew the guys that were going to be cunts when they grew up. One of my classmates was and ended up murdering his wife, I was not surprised. Married his social worker eventually got out and killed himself in a car accident within 2 months of his release.
Can you explain what's he did to be considered a cut I'm enthralled
WHY IS MARK JUDGE, BRETT'S BEST FRIEND, RUNNING AWAY???
wouldn't the simple thing be him coming out under oath and proclaiming that it never happened..... Unless it did happen, and he don't want to go to jail for Lying under oath 🤔
Sorry Cenk and Anna -- I don't care how old he is -- A ZEBRA DON'T CHANGE STRIPES
The problem with Kavanaugh is he has painted himself as a squeaky clean candidate. All of these "accusations" have made people dig into his formative years and now can see the roots of his character and now answers a lot of questions into the way he thinks now. Women to him are 2nd class citizens, just look at his views on abortion. Women don't have thae right to have a choice. Even in the Fox interview he wouldn't let hs wife answer the question. She looked at him afraid to answer. I'm not saying he is physically violent, but it looks, to me, he is very controlling.
Virgin or not, sexual predator or not. One thing is for sure....he never ever treated women with "dignity and respect".
Remember when he refused to shake the hand of the father of a Parkland victim? Deep down he hasn't changed much. He still lacks character, and is clearly a jerk!
Remember when Cenk got called out for blogging about womanizing 16 year olds and was asked to resign from the justice democrats. That stuff happened this century....yeah old Cenk sure is a disgrace aint he
EVERYBODY has missed the whole point by focusing on Kavanasty's past. What he displayed in the hearing, with his blatant lies about so many other things like 'boofing", "ralphing", "Renate" and then his temperament and patisanism, IS NOT PROPER CHARACTER FOR ANY TYPE OF JUDGE WHO DECIDES THE FATE OF OTHERS!
Getting to the facts
1. No crime scene - She can't remember the place this occurred
2. No witness - No one including her best friend who was alleged to be at the scene corroborated the story nor remember any such gatherings.
3. She cannot remember how she ended up there and how she went home from there.
4. She never mentions Kavanuaghs name to her therapist.
5. 12 different inconsistencies were found in her testimony compared to her other records. E.g. she told her therapist that there were 4 of them at the party, later said 6, and "couldn't remember". She couldn't remember whether she went there first or the others were there first.
6. She has such a questionable memory that is prove that her memory of the entire scene is a "could be Kavanaugh" illusion believed by her self to be Kavanugh when in fact it could be other people.
Ipa
We all HATE copy and past "facts" posters that get it from Insannity or *ucker Carlson..
These are HANNITY facts,go back there and enjoy pure bullshit
Michael Ipa if you were raped or molested you would remember it too! She’s not seeking money or fame just a intelligent woman telling what happened to her. Watch what you say your children and grandchildren could be silent and not telling anyone. I too was molested when I was 11 and I never told anyone. My parents never knew because I didn’t tell them or anybody. There’s so many reasons why we keep quiet. I’m 65 now and I’m glade i never told them!
Michael Ipa No. 2 : Mark Judge; and she stated with"100% certainty " it was Brett Kavanaugh. I believe her,and I also think Kavanaugh isn't tempermentally suitable for the job. Hopefully the FBI will sort this out for all concerned.
So, just to make this simple, he's a chronic sociopath. It all fits
Here is the answer. If he admits to the behavior and conduct and explains that hes a changed man, then he has an argument that he has changed. If he continues to deny and assert innocence in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, then he has not changed at all.
Once a douche , always a douche. People don’t change, they grow into who they really are
Kavanaugh's credibility would be greatly improved if he simply admitted to being a jerk in highschool but that he later in life bettered himself: quit his drinking etc. People love to hear about people who turn their lives around, so that could actually help him make him more likable in the eyes of the public. It's the lying that concerns me regarding his potential position on the Supreme Court. Would we really want someone who lies about who he was in highschool? If he's capable and willing to lie about such small things (because there are many who where wild and immature when they were younger), what else could he be capable and willing to lie about? For me, proving an attempted rape is just icing on the cake, when the cake should be enough to not confirm him.
Him not answering the question of whether a president can pardon himself should be enough to disqualify him.
Kavanaugh actually looks like a street corner drunk
And Ford looks like a valley bimbo, who makes false claims and speaks like a 9 year old
He was a pretty WILD VIRGIN!!
Your character doesn't change all that much through life... how you manifest it may to degrees, but by an early age you are who you are on the inside.
People do change. People are supposed to change. But judging how a 53 year old man is acting like a 5 year old trying to hide a broken lamp, I'm going to say he's still that same person.
Nathan Brady, people only change if they have a conscience.
Kavanaugh's display on Thursday of loud ranting, rage, entitlement, self pity, and his continued dodging of questions that make him uncomfortable speak to his lack of moral and emotional fitness for a position on the Supreme Court. NO TO KAVANAUGH.
oh please...you get accused of something you didn't do and not feel the same
Mary Riley I guess men shouldn’t cry. Do you think you would be angry if you were falsely accused?
@@camimons470 Nothing wrong with men crying. There is something innately wrong with a judge who can't control his emotions, lies under oath and behaves like a petulent child.
@@bluskyelin4me776 & Mary Riley During the more than a week's delay between when the accusation was first made until he appeared at the hearing to give his testimony,it is reported that he and his family had to endure all sorts of vile vicious slanders and threats-even death threats-by people who actually don't yet have any idea of his guilt or innocence.This whole sorry saga will likely have a lasting negative impact on the rest of his life,whatever the final verdict regarding his guilt or innocence. So I'm wondering-if he truly is innocent,what do you think his reaction should've been to what he's being put through-perfectly composed,at all times showing calmness and serenity,maybe even an occasional laidback grin? If that's what you think(and what else is one to take from your comments?),then you're completely nutzo! His angry demeanour and sometimes emotional response seems exactly what would be expected from a person who had been falsely accused of this serious crime. What human being with feelings and emotions can be detached and unaffected while going through devastating events that profoundly affect their life and the lives of their loved ones? Methinks you've been watching too many Bruce Willis and Steven Seagal movies! Ha ha. Seriously though,it would be an horrendous experience. Until you've been through Kavanaugh and his family's experience,you're in no position to say what a normal response to it would be,or how you yourself would cope-so kindly stfu. Cheers-hope I was able to help.
Kavanaugh's opening statement reminded me of Sean Spicer's initial press conference, when he spoke about the Inauguration being the largest attendance, PERIOD. Read Kavanaugh's Opinions, and then read his opening statements. He's bullshitting.
For those Trumplethinskins out there if you can remember not that long ago Democrat Senator Al Franken was accused of similar issues and he resigned. He did the right thing because he wasn't completely sure, but he respected the Senate enough to step aside. A Senator's Term is for six years. A Supreme Court Justice can last for 40 years or longer. That's a long time on the Bench of the highest Court in America.
If he had any respect for the Supreme Court he would step aside.
Why is he lying about his time in school? Seems pretty dumb if you're innocent.
His yearbook page also says something like "Beach Week Ralph Club - Biggest Contributor." Basically, he's bragging about throwing up (ralphing) the most. And, yet he claims he was never stumbling drunk. The drinking isn't the issue. His lying and trying to portray himself as Saint Brett.
Thanks... I missed it totally..
There is a much later email that has been released, you probably saw it, where he apologizes for becoming aggressive after losing at some kind of gambling - maybe poker? He admits to not remembering the aggression, and apologizes to his bros for it. And if that's how he treats his BROS about gambling, well. you can imagine how nasty he might get about type/frequency/accessibility of sex from mere women. Obvious he does shit when very drunk that he does not remember.
@@teamla1047 Yes, I read that. It was a "guys weekend" or night. I think he was working for the Bush admin at the time. He also mentioned something about not telling the wives. I hope the dems on the committee confront him with this stuff.
I see some toying with the idea here that attempted rape when young doesn't mean he's the same man today. The problem is that's a huge double standard. If the average person without the protection of wealth were to be found guilty of any of this they'd be recognized by the legal system as a sexual predator for LIFE.
BelimaiSykes, true enough, & now we have Cosby as an example.
My daddy had a saying, a person's character is set early in life. So regardless of life's ups & downs the real you will always show.
Your Father is so RIGHT ! A Zebra can don't change is Strips.
AMEN!
All these comments criticizing TYT and liberals are bizarre. Why are they watching the show?
Beverly Goodman No more Alex Jones, they are detractors
I'm all for 100% of shaming people over bad judgments. Lord knows if this guy gets in, there will be plenty of that going around.
I've noticed that preachers kids and kids who went to private school act worse than the other kids
A man who did that and hasn't the conscience to profusely apologize without reservation is a jerk and should never be in a position to decide anything for any woman. Doesn't matter if he did it 35 years ago, if he doesn't own what he did, he's still a total jerk.
Look. It’s simple. Even if it all is a ‘he said; she said’. In the end who is the liar? He’s portrayed himself as a choir boy. Clearly this is a lie. Ergo, he’s the liar.
He’s also a drunk pervert. Proven empirically.
Sure you can argue that he was just 17 when it happened. I get it. People change. Adolescents are stupid. Not an argument I would make but that's just my personal opinion. However, he was 53 years old when he sat idly by as a multi-pronged smear campaign is levied against his victim. That is the type of person he is today.
Your character doesn't change all that much through life... how you manifest it may to degrees, but by an early age you are who you are on the inside.
ptrinch ...He was also 53 when he went on Fox News and lied his ass off about what a sweet, choir boy he was. He could have easily been honest. We all know that high school kids party. Had he fessed up and took even an iota of responsibility this wouldn’t be such a big deal. Anyone who can lie with ease like that is a scum bag. Plus, what Supreme Court justice nominee goes on Fox News in the first place. He’s suppose to be an honest, truth seeker with a keen sense of justice, not cozying up to Trumps propaganda network.
Brad Cozine We're all watching TYT. Cenk Uygur was kicked out of the Justice Democrats for the way he treated women in his youth. Google it. He and a friend got caught catcalling underaged girls calling them "whores in training". He wrote disgusting blog posts about women being of useful for sexual purposes, etc.
I would like to hold Kavanaugh to the same standard we held Cosby
+Mark Broadhurst Great lets have a trial in the meantime he should not be appointed to the SC.
+Mark Broadhurst there should be a full criminal investigation done by the FBI and Dr Ford should be allowed to have a hearing even if it takes months or even years in mean time a person who is under a criminal investigation should not be appointed to the SC.
+Mark Broadhurst The ones who are not interested in justice are the republicans who do not want an investigation. A Proven liar should not be a judge in the highest court of the land. This is an election year the people should decide the future of the supreme court not a president who is under multiple criminal investigations. Trump would sure love to live in the totalitarian dictatorship you mentioned based on his comment about north Koreans citizens who "sit down and listen" everytime their dictator speaks.
+Mark Broadhurst Again lets have as many hearings as required to prove the allegations false if he is innocent he should have no problem. Why not wait until everything is said and done and all parties have had their say? What's the rush?
+Mark Broadhurst Again lets have as many hearings as required to prove the allegations false if he is innocent he should have no problem. Why not wait until everything is said and done and all parties have had their say? What's the rush?
The question is one of "lack of candor" (you know - lying). NOT whether he drank to excess or not. The fact that he is characterizing himself as a studious, choirboy, virgin. To say he didn't "pass out" after drinking. He just went to sleep. C'mon! Does he hear himself? Does he believe that? Hard to fathom. And his displays of anger, outrage and crying, blaming others; that does not indicate a calm, methodical, logical, reasoning man who has control of his own thoughts, feelings, biases, behaviors. NOT "Supreme Court Material".
Yup the typical football jock bullies of the teen movies...
You can change the immature way you treated people back before you were 20. But the lack of character, the joining the bully crowd are still down there. Saying something years ago and being totally unapologetic about it today proves that. He is correct we all know what a reference to some club associated with a girl means there is no hiding it, apologize and say it was childish immature thing a group of guys at the school came up with and it was based in a lie. Don't say it meant something else, we know you are lying if you say it is anything else. I hope the Senators grill him on this and his FOX interview, say the obvious and get him to admit it was childish and embarrassing or to further the lie, and them tell him you to his face you are a liar if he does lie or punts (I can't remember ... change the subject).
Why isn't he judged by his actions TODAY??? His kind of reaction to the allegations shows DIRECTLY AND ACTUAL what kind of a person he is TODAY! He was a jerk BACK THEN and he is a jerk TODAY!!!
The boys in my extended family were pretty immature and foolish as teenagers. Did they manipulate, humiliate, drug and gang-rape girls?
NO, because they don't disrespect ANY fellow human beings, not now, not then, not ever. Girls were their friends, their equals, and occasionally their equals in a loving relationship.
They would have been the first to call the police on Brat Kavanaugh and his affluenza-infected cronies.
The boy you are at 17 is the man you are at 53 - but if you have something to cover up, you're better at covering it up at 53 than you are at 17.
Jane Brown
So You LOVE it when a random, drunk guy puts his hand over your beer-fogged breathing mouth in attempt to shut you up when screaming for him to GET OFF OF YOU, or when screaming for help?
I think you need to re-read Jane Brown’s post again. She wasn’t supporting Kavanaugh, quite the opposite.
Delightful91 Hehe, I knew there'd be at least one person who didn't read beyond my first line, yet still felt entitled to comment!
His decisions on the bench reflect his character pretty clearly. I.e. the 17 year old girl seeking an abortion, etc. He's full of lies and double standards.
It is pronounced Re-nah-ta.
Why didn't he face an all female panel???? She faced an all male panel.
I turn 60 in 21 days. It's been my experience and observation over the years, that the ones that were jerks and worse back in High School, remain - at heart - jerks, no matter how many years later. Yeah, they may tone it down as they get older, but they remain jerks. Some don't tone it down. One thing that is, on careful consideration, the example of Trump. He was such a problem child back when that he got shipped off to one of those "Private Military Academies". His performance these days doesn't inspire either confidence or trust. If that's "toned down", think what he was like back when. Consider too, who Trump has supported for candidate and his appointments various positions - including Cabinet.
Kavanaugh was a low life jerk today. The way he acted in the hearing only strengthened the arguments of depravity against him.
Yeah. Just for starters, Roy Moore comes to mind..
So wrong on many levels. I know many people that have changed for the better and for the worse. I understand you got an ax to grind but let's not be so dramatic
Ugh, what a creep. I can see right through his act, and I hope a few Republicans can, too.
The point of the matter behind what the discussion should be is if he's lying; because a judge who can't own his past, take responsibility, and apologize, and be honest, has no business judging someone else or their honesty!
Why wouldn't THIS information be enough to disqualify Gomer Kavanaugh? This is a life long appointment. Trump has a list of applicants. As a country, we deserve the best of the best. Not an individual who lies about his conquests. If men want to say ALL MEN ARE NOT LIKE THIS then lets find a man (or woman) who led a life worthy of this position. WE can do better.
M Daze 17 years old........all women are not perfect and most of them lie and have their own secrets. The fact that people are saying something now is simply because they do not want a republican appointee judge. Nothing more.
We can hold the Congress accountable for rushing this process. The truth does matter regardless of the upcoming midterms.
Sure his behavior back in high school can prevent his confirmation. He lied about it to the Senate. Perjury is a crime and an automatic disqualification.
so even women who signed his petition and were defending him cant anymore because he is now showing just how awful truly he is.
Am I correct in my impression that she was about to throw another woman under the bus until she found out her own name was sullied?
Point !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He lied under oath regardless of anything else! That alone disqualifies him. Full stop!
Cathy Frankel yup. That’s all that’s needed. People are freaking out about political division between the two parties? But this guy lied under oath it doesn’t matter what party he belongs to you does not belong on Scotus
He (not “you”)
And he flipped out. He shouldn’t even have the job he has.
Savannah Rey Do you think that your snarky comment makes you look smart?……………not
What is done in the dark always comes to light.
If Avenatti's client comes forward with the 'drug and train' allegations, these first two women will be just side notes.
Avenatti also indicates there are actually more than one client, and he has a very high batting average. Should be fun.
Ok...17yo character doesn’t matter...but 17yo kills ppl, are we suppose to forget his character 30years from now???
What do you mean "back then"? Less than a year ago he tried to use his power as a Federal Judge to deny a young girl her constitutional right and FORCE her to bear a child she didn't want. He hasn't become a better person, he just changed tactics.
Gotta love how just because he's Republican we still have to act like he didn't repeatedly lie under oath to get his current job and recently for his promotion
No.... most people that are jerks when they were in high school are the same now! They may hide it.... but deep down inside they.... Are The Same!!!
Boy, you got that right, Jan! Once a juvenile, always a juvenile. But what we have nowadays is sometimes geriatric juveniles. Arrogaant, conceited, self righteous: And their grandkids have learned their lessons all too well. Most of the rest who have more than an ounce of common sense are the people more or less "in the middle" - - economically, politically, and geographiclly: Meaning except for tse on the west coast & east coasts, older than 35, and younger than 55. But granny & grand pappy are more often than not, well, ther're NUTS. And all the younger juveniles have a severe case of Borderline Personality Disorder. They always want it both ways, in spite of their hypocrisy. Or perhaps because of it. They're experts at giving themselves a black eye. Let no one interfere. They're a Rubics Cube of insanity.
Rape is a crime, not a kind of "misconduct." And against a minor, it is more than one crime. If he committed a SERIOUS crime AT ANY POINT in his life.
Fabricating charges of sexual assault is also a crime. In this case, the story is inconsistent in the extreme and the witness’ credibility is in grave doubt. In any other country Ford would be found feet up in dumpster for these malicious lies.
Don't forget the 200k in debts that mysteriously vanished, very suspicious.
Do tell
KIND OF MAKES ME WONDER HOW THESE LITTLE PUKES WERE RAISED..OBVIOUSLY BADLY TO ACT SO INMATURE!
They're raised with a sense of entitlement that most people could never relate to.
he's a punk .. not fit for duty Eddie Haskell
A "VIRGIN" high school football superstar!!! Really??
Kevin Gallagher
Yeah, that's how squeaky clean this guy truly is. He's so squeaky clean, I'm pretty sure, as he was walking, I heard his ass cheeks squeak. IF THAT'S NOT THE MOST WHOLESOME GUY EVER, I don't know what is. The ONE guy in America that NEVER even groped a chick in high school. I know....
UNBELIEVABLE. But, true.
And, I saw the high school yearbook pic of Kavanaugh, not bad....a football star, not half-bad looking.....hmm....
Kevin, it's all starting to make sense now. I thought it kinda creepy that the accuser 1) "....wanted 2 front doors..." on her house?! (speaks to her mental stability, (or, INstability), along with, speaking in baby voice.)
2) she seemed overly obsessed with this man's career, by her own admission, allegedly, talking to her therapist about his possible Supreme Court appointing, 6 YEARS AGO!
"Fatal Attraction" comes to mind. Very creepy.
Kavanaugh was cute, she was, well, she was a young girl, who was probably crushing on the football star, of a neighboring all-boys prep school. And, let's not forget that, years later, the mother (of that very boy, who never paid her any attention in those high school years) was the presiding judge that ruled AGAINST Ford's parents' case, forcing them into foreclosure of their home. She's now a donating Democrat, (who's parents hate the judge for losing their home, who, also, happens to be in couple's therapy), he's a happily, married Conservative, with a rising star career, and here's her chance to use her 2 master's degrees in psychology, to f$*!@ Kavanaugh over. AND make some coin. (Like, ALOT of coin. Thanks, Go F$*!@ Me accounts.)
Yep, it all fits.
If he is guilty of the past accusations that does not justify him lying about it now (probably under oath)
I beg to differ... i think Trump is the same exact person he was when he was 8 years old
Best comment!
His classmate's agree he is quite stunted,( everyone else grew up).
IF he attempted rape at the age of 17 - intoxicated or not - this could be indicative of a subcurrent in his character which would contribute to making him more prone to overturn Roe v. Wade. THAT is the matter under discussion.
"He doesn't mind hurting the feelings of someone else"
Sounds like your typical republican
Dascorpio36 grow up
Every1 of us thought Bill Cosby was a great decent man and look what he was capable of!
let us not foeget he is still treating women as sex objects, because his peers now are telling about how he only hires women who look like models so he is still objectifying these women today. he has not changed.
It proves he is a liar under OATH in present time!!
Crystal Mullins
Huh??? What proves he's a liar? I must've missed it.
Oh, that "Alumni Renate" thing, that a 17 year old boy scribbled on his yearbook?
Oh, sure, you've got 'em now, Columbo. QUICK, Crystal, CALL THE FBI, a 17 year old Kavanaugh made a cute girl he knew, an "honorary" member of his high school. Whatta joke. Oooh, worst case scenario, he's jokingly insinuating....
something, we don't know what, but....who cares. It's SOMETHING, right? Nope. Maybe, Renate farts alot and therefore, belongs in the "boys' club". Who knows, who cares. Another "nothing burger". And YOU'RE ALL EATING IT UP. AGAIN. Y'all must be STARVING by now, jeez, talk about gullible. It's getting to be PREDICTABLE, already. That's how squeaky clean this guy is, you're all resorting to looking foolish...once again. Stop falling for the lies. It's like, your leaders only have to point and say, "...look over there, you see it? It's right there....LOOK."
And, all you sheep go, "......baaahd Kavanaugh, baaahd baaahd...."
Surprise surprise.
If you are nominated for the S.C., be prepared to have your life, EVERY part of it, picked apart, and examined under a powerful microscope. Can't stand the fire?? Back out, and keep your privacy.....
I agree Anna. If he was like that back then, then he has some serious character flaws. One doesnt change that much.
Can ppl change after HS? Yes
Can a 17 year old Brett (the Hit man-No heart) be completely reformed at 53? Yes. Its possible.
But let's not act like many ppl tend to stay the same overall. People don't change if they don't have a reason to. If he had little to know respect for women in HS and College, he most likely has that same contempt for them now. Just more seasoned. And able to better camouflage it.
Let's be real.... We ALL know plenty of ppl from HS who never really changed. Why would they, with no reason to?
I would think if you were bright enough to get into Yale, you'd know that exposing yourself to a woman who was drunk is wrong, or you did know it was wrong, and did it anyway bc you're a disgusting person...
He is also being caught in a lie by this coming to light and he is currently characterizing himself as a saint during that time.
He is STILL the same person on an adult level!! Did you watch him on TV!!! Gross!!
His performance in front of the senate is what disqualified him.
Lol
Your a moron
Yeah, he was supposed to be laid back and not show any emotion. Idiots born every day, you're proof.
Eric Allen If you cannot read this pathetic performance, you’re the idiot.
The people defending Kavanaugh obviously either acted like this or were at least "followers" and "yes men" of guys like this in high school. it's kind of pathetic.
Absolutely. The people defending this have very low standards and clearly identify with this kind of behavior. There were people I hated in high school, but I still wouldn't have stooped so low as to smear them the way Kavanaugh and his buddies smeared this girl, who naively thought highly of Kavanaugh.
Yeah, right. I mean when guys like Kavanaugh were telling me to get her cleaned up for the next guy during the gang bang, I jumped right to it being a yes man and all.
Jiminy Cricket That's exactly what I was thinking....
It is the fact thaty he has lied and, if you lie about this, what else will you lie about… he is a weak human being and he IS NOT SUPREME COURT MATERIAL.
Seems obvious that someone wants that people who has lied, are lying and will lie become norm for Supreme Court, same as reality star for POTUS.
Let’s be judgemental. How come people of questionable character climb the greasy pole and ends up in the Supreme Court ?
Aaron: Jes' lookin' at Ruth Bader, I'm a-wonderin' mahself that same thang.
As for "memory": I remember every sexual assault and harassment vividly. Do I remember the exact dates? Of course not! But I remember the incidents. They are burned into my mind. I remember every single moment of domestic abuse or insult perpetrated against me since I was five years old. Do I remember the exact dates? Of course not!
Agreed! We can remember how old we were, but dates and times? No
CutZy McCall I’m so sorry that happened to you. May Gods peace fall upon you. Much love ❤️
CutZy McCall the US is waking up to harsh facts that we do not want to admit. Watching the charade of righteous indignation by some over the timing of the alligations is what stuck with me. No matter what... Dr. Blazey Ford is credible, sincere, earnest and humane. I believe every word she said about that incident. And seeing Ol' Bret lose his cool and attack setting members of congress sealed the deal. Poor little rich kid got to do what he wanted, when, where, and with whom. A bunch of jocks acting like they have special laws that only the rest of us people with calluses have to follow. Entitled to attack girls and women at every turn of their party system has ruined too many lifes. One is too many, but this is rampant.
Lest we forget that even though these guys may have been 17, blacks (and others) are trialed as adults for serious crimes on a daily basis.
Yep.
This isn't a trial. It's a nomination. Of course they should investigate. But he doesn't have to be guilty to not be on the court. Character matters. Absolute proof of attempted rape is not the standard for denying him the seat.
Someone who was a jerk when young and then grows into someone benevolent now, also is someone who takes responsibility for their jerk-hood, apologizes and acts to build a history of atonement.
right!!!
Simple objectification. There is no empathy because there is no acknowledgment that this is a real person rather than a plaything. Sickeningly common, this lack of consciousness. I hope it haunts him now.
He was VERY clearly falsely accused. The people of the panel on the young turks can't even pronounce the accusers name right. Also, ana claimed kavanaugh has been investigated by the FBI 6 times as if he was involved in other mysterious cases. He wasn't and had the people at young turks done their homework they would've found kavanaugh was investigated 6 times in his life by the FBI all because of these same allegations. He doesn't have a track record of being investigated by the FBI as the young turks tried to portray.
If you seek truth, this is not the place to find it.
