It's a job interview. For a really, really big job. The background check needs to be completed.

Do agree with this? If not, can you explain why?

FBI can't investigate this allegation, it isn't a federal crime, it's a state crime, the state of Maryland would have to initiate the investigation, and the FBI cannot re-open the BGC without the WH directing them to do so.

Just about every active and former FBI agents have validated this.

I have said numerous times that he isn't qualified to be confirmed due to numerous reasons, like lying to congress under oath, that's a pretty big one.

So because you can't refute what I posted, you attack me?

You've been defending Kavanaugh out here for days and this is very easily verifiable.

Maybe you'd feel more at home over with the Freep peeps?

So predictable.

Can't cite any posts where I defend Kavanaugh so you pull out the old and tired meme.

Pathetic.

And whats is wrong with that.

We are all well aware that what he did..doesnt meet the technical definition of Rape.

We get it.

that he's guilty or innocent of what is alleged.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I still believe in the concept of the presumption of innocence.

Apparently many, if not most don't believe in this American value.
Soo sad.

Note: There is a HUGE difference between sexual assault and rape and if you're aware of the difference, then why call him a rapist?

Sexual Assault is the umbrella term of which rape falls under.

No huge difference at all, since rape is sexual assault.

Only rapists attempt to rape. The attempt alone makes a person a rapist.

Holding her down, covering her mouth, and playing loud music so no one can hear her scream is attempted rape. If he used a weapon or trying to strangle/suffocate her, or if he had help (his friend supposedly in the room), it's First degree attempted rape which carries a possible life sentence.

Otherwise it's 2nd degree attempted rape which is up to 20 years.

But if they see their attacker is gaining Hi social position they understandably get very angry. She wants to stop her attacker from gaining the power to control the bodies of women all over the country. She is answering the call, doing her patriotic duty for all Americans at great expense to herself. She has nothing to gain from this. For him, at worst, he will end up in the same job he started in. If not appointed to the SC, now he’s a celebrity/martyr of the Deplorables and can get some plum Fox News sinecure.

Just where do you come up with this nonsense?

What? You can't refute my facts so you attack me?

That sounds more like what a juvenile would do.

that Kavanaugh is not qualified to confirmed to the SC because of several issues, lying under oath to congress, his stance on women's rights, his stand on Roe v Wade, etc.

I have no idea why some think I'm an alleged troll, I guess it's because of my low post count.

At first, the only reason I originally joined up was to let DU know that one of their members, my Army comrade, GGJohn, had passed away after a year long fight with cancer, I stayed silent for about 9 months afterwards, only recently have I become more active on DU, but if this is how those of us with low post counts are treated, then maybe I should just leave and let y'all keep on keeping on.

You have a great night and a great coming weekend.
