Which means you see the real asshole instead of the thin veneer of civility he uses to avoid consequences for being a rapey piece of subhuman trash.

What comes out of Kavanaugh when he gets wasted? Rape.

He clearly has/had issues with alcohol. One of my best friends had a stepfather who was a very nice guy when he was sober, but when he drank, he became an abusive monster. That's what I see here.

They are saying the letter itself was anonymous, which gives it less weight than the others. It also could be a tipping point as it continues a pattern of alcohol consumption then agressive sexual behavior.

especially if Republicans are the ones putting them out there. While they may be legit, we have three women who have put their names to their accusations, and that is more than enough to take Kavanaugh down.

Put out a false allegation that is shown to be false, then attack the four women that have put a name to their accounts (two of whom mention drunken gang rapes of the type that the fifth allegation out of Rhode Island mentions).

His utter lack of regard for women is the very reason we don't need him as a Supreme. It is also the reason Trump chose him.

The FBI - despite Stumpy's endless slander - conducts background investigations that miss nothing. They go back and interview people you lived next door to. Family, friends, acquaintences, business merchants, doctors, teachers, bus drivers, cops, neighbors, people who went to school with you - from the first grade on. It in an exhaustive review.

There is no way the FBI missed all of this. So was there even a investigation conducted ?

about rapey brett and his mentor disgraced sexual predator former judge kozinski? I think that's where brett's clerks had to look like models.

Chances are there was a plethora of bad conduct there.

[link:https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kavanaugh-kozinski-harassment-silence_us_5baa8151e4b0f101d38375ab|]

Kavanaugh has steadfastly claimed he knew nothing about Kozinski’s behavior, and couldn’t recall anything inappropriate about him. Yet considering the overwhelming evidence that’s piled up about Kozinski, Kavanaugh’s denial seems preposterous.

“Everybody knew,” writes longtime legal columnist Dahlia Lithwick for Slate, explaining she had experience with Kozinski since the late 1990s.

“There’s no way Kavanaugh didn’t know,” a man who clerked for Kozinski more than a decade ago told HuffPost recently. Others have asked how Kavanaugh could have possibly been ignorant of the judge’s sexism and misconduct.

and I'm thinking that there may be many skeletons in that closet. What is interesting to me is the ARROGANCE in thinking that he was going to breeze on to the Supreme Court without this coming out!!!! Now they need to follow through and get all of the facts and prosecute so that these poor women can have some kind of closure.

Honest to God - is there even ONE repub that is decent? just one? Every freaking one of these so called "Christians" is VILE.

Anonymous letter to a right wing Senator stating her daughter saw a friend get attacked, and they immediately recognized the assailant as Coach K, but didn’t say anything. Puhleeze!

Could it be that Senator Gardiner or some other RWNJ wrote the letter and conveniently planted it. Mango Musselini said that the accusations may be a con job and an hour later ...here it is!
