Kavanaugh to Sen. Hatch .. rough quote

"I wasn't even at that party."

Gee, I don't remember any specific party being mentioned so how did Kavanaugh i.d. the one where the victim said she was assaulted at?

Years ago when I was a kid in North West PA in a very middle class neighborhood our next door neighbor was the county D.A. and his brother was Governor of PA, Ray Shafer and he was a class act and a Republican too. Those days are long gone. The GOP's support for such an odious person such as Kavanaugh shows how far they have fallen.

Uh huh.

I hope he is disbarred in addition to losing the nomination and his current DC judgeship.

.... but I always remembered that no meant no and that rape was never an option.

We are so far down the rabbit hole now with our democracy hanging on by a thread now I feel a sense of dread.

And I lived in West Germany from age 13 to almost 17. I drank a lot, too. Every single time I kissed a girl or even as much as held her hand, it was with her consent. In the VERY (Really! Lol) few cases she said no, I did stop and apologized.
