How are these idiots so bad at this?
psst... My gut says look in May/June. Better fits Judge's projected work timeline.

Thanks, Ehrnest. Random Facts tweets some very interesting stuff!

(1,406 posts)Damn good question & excellent sleuthing out the bs.
Forensics would tell us about when it was re-written perhaps.
Were these entries covered up/re-entered when Kav was investigated during GW's admin?
Thre are docs that Grassley wouldn't release that are from the prior FBI investigation of Kav. They contain info uncovered, (or covered up) when GW wanted Kav appointed to the appellate.
Ya think GW rewarded Kav with the judgeship for stopping the FL recount in Bush vs Gore 2000?
Bush family is eyeball deep in this RW coup.
Oil barrons & the Saudis. They're all criminal mob families.

(32,640 posts)This corner that got turned up on one page shows that the opposite side wasn't the green bottom border of a calendar page.
But supposing that were no photos that year - if May and June were on opposite sides of each other - which makes sense if you start from Jan/Feb being on opposite sides, why isn't there bleed thru on the June 19th, where there is also a heavy inking out of something on the May side as well? See below:
Here are the other pages from other months.

(1,737 posts)IMO there were late additions to this calendar and too many crossed out details. Maybe he had a diary and added what he thought to be insignificant details. Who knows? Also, did anyone check if the events on the calendar correlate with the actual dates of the events. If he's going to put his calendar as evidence, I believe it should be extensively scrutinized.

(32,767 posts)As far as I could tell, the FFFFF joke was among the frat boys at Catholic University or maybe Yale Law.
This group was innocent and sweet-natured compared to them. According to Kav they were all still "virgins" then.

(703 posts)Seems like something a corrupt family would do to cover their tracks:
Son, in order to have a ready alibi, keep a clean calendar of all your activities. Make sure not to write down any illegal activities.

(32,640 posts)In the exact same place in both images, there is an noticeable offset at the intersection of 1,7,8 - but in the WaPo version it's offset to the right, rando version, to the left.
Suggests they may have been two diff versions from the same working copy.

(9,426 posts)is were there no HONEST candidates the gop could have chosen? Why this sex pervert liar, drunken ass? Who keeps calendars for so many years? Was he prepared for the questions about his HS activities? So we have a president who is totally unqualified, a sex pervert and liar. Now McConnell is making sure we have a SC judge with those same "qualities". Is the gop planning on having him make laws to protect all their Russian activities?

(9,426 posts)made a promise to Kavenaugh's parents to get him nominated? Remember Sandra Day O'Connor voted for W because she did not want to see his parents disappointed. So she let the entire country down.

(22,976 posts)This isn't just any Supreme Court seat. It's Anthony Kennedy's. The retired justice represented the swing vote on key questions, often siding with the court's four liberal justices. In the past three years alone, that included abortion rights, affirmative action and same-sex marriage.
2) Partisan background
Kavanaugh's years investigating President Bill Clinton as part of independent counsel Ken Starr's team and working in the White House for President George W. Bush represent an unusually partisan background for a judge. But, despite the release of hundreds of thousands of pages of records, much of it remains under wraps.
3) Roe v. Wade

(49,043 posts)They have been indicted, plead guilty, found guilty at trial, sentenced to prison time. They are serious.
So this weirdness is likely evidence of a coverup.
This is very nasty hardball. They are willing to risk so much for this. It must be treated seriously.

(758 posts)In Photoshop you can blur pixels, copy pixels, mix in color, add "handwriting," clone in anything. Anything.
The way the pixels are moved around here it is obvious Photoshop.
The question is why? How? Who?
I know (in my bones) that KavaNO does not have Photoshop skills. Any. It takes time to acquire enough ability to do this type of work, although this is in by no means skillful.
So, who?
Hey guys, next time you need a good Photoshop job, better call me.
