**BREAKING** Avenatti reveals his Kavanaugh client

Link

Suck it 4chan!

"I also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be 'gang raped' in a side room or bedroom by a 'train' of numerous boys. I have a firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their 'turn' with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh. In approximately 1982, I became the victim of one of these 'gang' or 'train' rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present. Shortly after the incident, I shared what had transpired with at least two other people. During the incident, I was incapacitated without my consent and unable to fight off the boys raping me. I believe I was drugged using Quaaludes or something similar placed in what I was drinking."

Impossible, I was a virgin until I was 54! "What's a vagina?" I always said! I've never even drunk delicious alcohol! Ask any of my wealthy classmates with business before the court!

The Senate's refusal to talk to Mark Judge looks even more absurd now...

Um... holy shit.

Wow he is toast

What does she do for a living, because they are going to shred her.

Avenatti is on the phone with Whoopi right now. You can re-start the show from the begining if you have cable.

Our resident trolls from the past week who were on every thread defending Kavanaugh have gone awfully quiet this morning...

The key to her story

[quote] Shortly after the incident, I shared what had transpired with at least two other people.

So she told two people almost immediately after it happened. They are very, very important people to this inquiry.

Where's the coverage? Shit... the news channels aren't covering it yet.

She was worked for various federal agencies and has held numerous security clearances, not some random crazy person r8.

Now how does he (Avenatti) go about getting this out tomorrow in what sounds like a very controlled and scheduled "hearing"? Won't they just tell him to take a hike?

She is saying girls attended parties where drinks were spiked and then they were raped.

But these girls kept going to these parties? Did they not tell their parents and their parents did nothing? How come no parents of said girls coming forward?

Parents could be elderly or dead.

WOWOW

Republicans knew all about these victims.Thats why they had his daughters at confirmation hearing and put up that facade of perfect "coach".Now they are trying to rush vote......i hope all victims press charges.

Men are absolutely repulsive and I feel so sorry for women.

Anyway he’ll be approved on Friday. The Turtle will make sure of it.

I'm fine with this

Wowowow

The "I had no sexual intercourse" means I didn't stick my dick in a vagina if she was not black out drunk or drugged. Maybe he got off on watching his frat bros rape them. Even Gay men know how many ways men can have sex with women without penetration of the vagina. He and Judge must have been really fucked up to attack a girl who wasn't incapacitated.

She saw these boys stand outside the room waiting to take their turn raping drunk girls many times...yet she kept going to these parties and became one of these girls herself. WTF???

Why would she keep going to these parties?

Trolls are saying she hasn’t implicated Kav in the rapes. I just think even if he was present during these crimes then he is an accessory. That’s bad enough

From other thread

"She doesn't allege that anything was done to her by Bret Kavanaugh. It's VERY carefully crafted "statement" She also doesn't name any rapists either."

Oh look, people attacking the victims!

Yes, my first thought when I hear about rape is blaming the girls...

It also doesn't mean: "I haven't facilitated rapes by holding women down or spiking their drinks." You don't need to stick it in in order to be fully complicit in a gang rape.

He will not be approved there is just too much shit now. And it’s all stuck to him

I think she just described every frat party.

[quote]Where's the coverage? Shit... the news channels aren't covering it yet.

They are too busy covering DUMP and Melanoma at the UN like anyone gives a shit.

You mean where Trump was exposed as a laughing stock?? That UN story?

[quote] From other thread

[quote] "She doesn't allege that anything was done to her by Bret Kavanaugh. It's VERY carefully crafted "statement" She also doesn't name any rapists either."

The latter is coming from a very prolific troll, *very* invested in defending Kavanaugh and discrediting Avenatti and the victims. Does Mark Judge know about DL?

Jeez, Heavy.com sure is quick. 😂 If the site was around during 9/11, they would’ve identified Al-Qaeda as the culprits before the government did.

Yeah, who cares if Kavanaugh literally fucked or anything r24. If he was present for these things that makes him more than culpable.

Avenatti is an American hero.

Blasey Ford has 4 affidavits BTW.

Was he the one who found them? And got off on watching? Maybe egging them on? If you were in the room when it happened and didn't stop it or report it then you are complicit. If it happened again and again then you are an accessory to multiple crimes. We all need to rewatch The Accused. DL lawyers correct me if I am wrong.

I'd love to be gang raped by Avenatti.

There is a huge difference between attending such a party, you could be drinking downstairs and say being in that room upstairs, holding down the girl. She attended the party too. Is she guilty also? She kept going and going...how come she never reported to her parents or other adults?

Jesus Fucking Christ!!

And this woman has security clearance! This is not a hill for the GOP to die on but they will

Keep trying Boris r39. No one is buying your act.

I went to a major party school (ucsb), attended tons of keggers, and saw my share of drunkin mayham, but I never saw this train gang rape phenomenom. Sure people hooked up, but it wasnt out for all to see. We would hear from time to time about rapes where a girl would be seperated from friends and isolated in a room which is why friends and eye tried to always have someone relatively sober to keep an eye on the rest of us. Had we seen a gang raped going on we would have intervened to stop it, drunkn or not. We would have sent pur male roomates to detain the guys and shut it down and call the cops.

On the other hand if I was in high school and in a really clicky culture, not sure I would have had that kind of maturity. I am not sure I would have said or done anything out of fear.

Rapist scum.

To all of the trolls questioning why these girls didn't report, or continued to go to these parties, do you really not understand the concept of how our powerful elite maintain control through generations? Why they, the rapists, targeted poorer, non-prep-school girls? Why girls and women don't come forward, even now? Is this really that hard of a concept?

Even if Kavanaughty makes it out of Committee on Friday (11-10), there will be more time for more revelations to hit the fan before the full Senate vote. At least a couple of GOP votes can peel off, especially if Collins and Murkowski jump together).

Thank you, Jesus, for Michael Avenhottie!

I haven't read the entire thing but I saw a highlighted section on Twitter.

He is claiming to be held down & sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh & Judge.

I'd want my daughter to have a hidden body cam at all times, or a wire. These boys are insane.

It was already being reported that Murkowski was looking like a no before these latest allegations.

They have THREE accusers and the GOP won't ask the FBI to conduct an investigation? Really? Totally unreasonable. Just order an investigation!!!!

Not only should he not be nominated, he should be impeached from dc circuit and stripped of bar licenses.

OK, this looks like the best one so far. And Kavanaugh claiming he was the 40 year old virgin and hanging around with reprobate Judge? No way.

What, Collins is going to vote for this bastard? Really??? Mainers, WTF is wrong with her? How is she elected over and over?

[QUOTE]He is claiming to be held down & sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh & Judge.

They raped Avenatti?

Yeah, that Kavanaugh shit about "I was a virgin, etc." was SUCH BULLSHIT. Football in high school, drinking all the time? Of COURSE you fucked like crazy and felt entitled.

I just knew roofies were involved. The scumbags wouldn't have been able to get to these women otherwise.

Subpoena Mark Judge. Have him speak under oath.

Actually, if he wasn't a Republican and well-connected, he would be on the Registered Sex Offender list.

They won't order a new FBI investigation because the Committee already has the answer: Kavanaugh is a serial rapist who skated through his privileged life thanks to our cultural elite.

Why not have the FBI fucking INVESTIGATE? They should have done that from the start. Idiots.

I am generalizing since I know there are decent men out there, but I hate men.

I can understand her not reporting but cannot understand why she would keep going to these so-called parties if gang rape was going on.

R58 is right. They know what'll be discovered. They withheld like 90% of his papers because he's so weird about sex and writes granularly about it in his memos (e.g., questions to ask Clinton re sex acts w/ Lewinsky). He's obsessed. Like Thomas was.

I am in awe of Avenatti pulling this trigger this morning while Trump is in New York. By the time het gets back to DC to deal with the fallout, he will have stroked out.

It's on MSNBC but CNN isn't covering it. Why?

Her statement does say that the guys lined up to have sex with a drunk girl "included" Kavanaugh and Judge. Enough with the "she doesn't name them as participating" nonsense. She also comes close to saying that they were among the guys who raped her, but only says they were "present"—could have been present at the same party, or present in the same room.

R59, my understanding is that the FBI needs an order to investigate Kavanaugh's background, and the White House won't issue that order.

[quote]"Brett Kavanaugh is one of the finest human beings you will ever have the privilege of knowing or meeting...this is a high quality person."

When I was in college and we were drunk we pooled our money, drove to the airport & bought a 1 way ticket for party goer who was the drunkest /most out of it.

They came to in whatever city our collected funds could buy a ticket for.

Looking back I thought how callous we were.

That was like child's play to these sick fucks.

[quote] Wow he is toast

Don't bet on it. You'd be surprised how easily Republicans in Congress can look past heinous goings on by someone they want to put into a position to do their corrupt bidding.

[quote]I'd love to be gang raped by Avenatti.

You don't really understand the concept of "gang" rape do you?

SNL needs to do a satire of his introduction and initial interview, where he talked endlessly about his girls, the basketball team, etc. Make it obvious exactly why he did it that way.

It just makes it more obvious, that he paraded his daughters and the basketball team that way. Obvious.

Alongside this Avenatti news, another bombshell, less salacious but more immediately incriminating.

Brett "Cosby" Kavanaugh.

I think there will be riots if this prick is confirmed.

Avenatti just did a phone interview on The View

Grassley (MSNBC) statement: committee lawyers are reviewing the declaration Avenatti provided this morning. That's it.

[quote]why she would keep going to these so-called parties if gang rape was going on.

This is how connections are made and power transfers generationally. Look, how many times do you have to be told: it's not what you know, it's who you know. And you want kids, especially girls, not to participate in societal power structures?

Where are you hearing that she's going to vote to confirm, r52? If she does then she should be hounded for the rest of her days in the Senate. And forget running for governor when her current term is up. Which is what she really wants to do.

Actually, R67 that's kind of funny. Imagine regaining consciousness in Cleveland, Newark etc. Lol

Just dump him already! He's fucking toxic. I'm so sick of hearing this shit everyday. I don't wanna see his ugly mug on my TV and computer.

R59

The FBI are more than willing & ready to investigate but they require the order.

Collins' refusal to grow a spine has basically eliminated any future career prospects. She'll be jobless come election time.

I'm in the UK waiting for BBC to update - they have already mentioned it as a breaking story.

And as for "Why did they still attend these parties?". I would guess this was one of those almost incestuous rich family mobs, where the kids are practically forced to socialise together. The girls almost without exception were expected to attend everything to maintain connections/bag a fellow rich dick. Girls who reported wrongs were either not believed or told to get over it and not make a fuss!

I still think they're going to try to ram him through and probably succeed. I also think he'll be fatally stabbed on his way to lunch within six months.

R77, Collins said something the other day hinting she was leaning toward voting to confirm, didn't she?

What's with Maine? Come on, open your eyes.

The governor's a nightmare, right?

Kavanagh's hair should withdraw its nomination.

Lock him up!

When is Collins up for reelection? She needs to be ousted. I want millions of small-dollar donations helping a hero to oust her.

Just how fucking dumb is Abbie Huntsman. Why did she come forward now? Why is her father still a member of Trump's cabinet?

Avenatti announcing his bombshell on "The View" was just masterful. Getting hausfraus on Swetnick's side is key to building popular revulsion against BK.

Collins is up for reelection in 2020.

Is anyone being recruited to oust her?

it's on CNN now

202 224-3121 congressional switchboard. Call your senators and tell them kavanaugh is unfit. Especially important if your senators are on the fence.

Collins is a garbage person.

Indeed, the current governor of Maine is batshit crazy. They still voted for him for two or three terms. Collins considered leaving the Senate and running for governor this year. Was convinced that she was more effective staying a Senator. She could still run for re-election in 2020 and drop out in 2022 to run for governor. She's old but very ambitious. Or she could drop dead before any of the above happens;)

Why are there people "representing us" in congress who have to be relentlessly harassed to not make the obviously monstrous choice? Who the fuck are these people?

DLers with some money who are retired/work from home should move to Maine, make it blue (again-ish?).

It's a beautiful state,

Isn't Maine basically the Alabama of New England?

Maine is primed for gay colonization. I can totally see it. 1.33 million residents. Take it over, gay people.

Away from the coast, yes.

R71, actually, there IS something salacious about that story (which is about how Kavanaugh improperly revealed grand jury testimony to the press). At issue was a strange, invasive series of questions Kavanaugh had asked about whether a witness had been cruising for gay sex in the park where Vince Foster's body was found.

Brett Kavanaugh: he's a liar, he's a creep, and he enjoys demeaning people.

I just finished a book last night, OHIO by Stephen Markley; it's fiction, but this behavior is a major plot point and is described in chilling and horrifying detail. I had the TV on as I was finishing it and it was utterly jarring to be reading this as the exact same thing was being discussed on the news.

It is on the Wall Street Journal site, but still not on the NY Times site. The Times is really slipping.

Wow...is she believable? Because that is some pretty nasty stuff.

Maine doesn't actually exist...or is that New Hampshire? I know Rhode Island is imaginary.

What has this country become? How was Kavanaugh not vetted? My god, a Supreme Court nominees being accused of gang rape 40 days before the election is just... wow.

I'm kind of surprised at the number of you who say that you never went to parties where this type of shit was going down. There are a lot of young women who get taken advantage of. Social position is key. You're not going to stop going to a party because you've heard rumors that it's rapey. Most girls tend to have "buddy" plans in place, but every so often one slips through the cracks and gets a train run on her by the Deke pledge class.

People up north need to own their shit, not compare it to southern areas.

I wondered what the Trump base thought of all this, so I went to the Freeper site to see.

One comment was "This woman's affidavit is about about as credible as an Obama birth certificate."

Same song, different verse.

We women went to those parties and endured those things because no one told us that cool people didn't do those things. Especially in entitled classes. I look back and shudder at the things I survived, the sheer amount of sexual aggression and harassment because I expected it as male privilege in Texas culture. Please don't shame the survivors. They have enough shame as it is. And if you have children now, please use this as a teaching lesson for your sons and daughters.

Kavanaugh is a sociopath. But since he was at a Catholic School, was he Catholic and was he raped by a priest as a child? Because a sex freak often comes from being abused as a child.

Collins is the only Republican who we can count on to be a human being at times, folks. Let's not cut off our nose to spite our face.

And who knows, she might turn on him.

Elisabeth Rasor said Mark Judge told her about times when him and his friends would take turns having sex with drunk women.

Girls were frequently told they egged guys on or that's just how guys were, and of course teenagers are confused and inexperienced, so they're not going to be making great decisions. And did YOU want to be the kid never invited to the cool parties? Add in parents wanting their kids to be part of the in crowd and making connections and of course tjose girls would keep attending.

Terrible that anyone would blame them for being raped.

Oh, DEAR!

MULTIPLE Dataloungers had already decided last night that Avenatti was creating a fictional accuser as a feint to shake up the GOP!?

Apparently they were WRONG!

[quote]saw my share of drunkin mayham, but I never saw this train gang rape phenomenom

You are so dumb.

The Turtle always wins but maybe not this time.

[quote]I still think they're going to try to ram him through and probably succeed.

Apt crude choice of words. In the dismal event of that being the case such a phrase should go viral: it'll never once be forgotten he was 'rammed through', and his beautiful blameless family will forever live with that association.

Nothing in the Failing New York Times about this ... yet.

I'd hate it if Mark Judge sells lots of copies of his book from this.

Avenatti for Attorney General

We covered all this in American Crime, Season 2 now on Netflix. I played Julie Swetnick, and Joey Pollari played Bret Kavanaugh.

Avenatti stated on The View that Kavanaugh’s camp was hiding Mark Judge.

Maybe this is what Trump was so angry about this morning. He kept saying that Democrats were just con artist and he was on fire. He said Dems arranged this....I sure hope they did because it would serve a grifter like him, right. After what Turtle did with Garland, I hope dems meant to screw him and screw him good.

Yes, he is in hiding in Delaware r121. The WaPo tracked him down.

I don’t see how anyone at this point thinks Kavanaugh goes through. He’s done.

Mitch will probably keep the seat open until after the midterms to juice Republican turnout.

Yeah, the trolls going on about 4chan yesterday r113. Man Muriel can't red-tag these fools fast enough.

[quote]It's on MSNBC but CNN isn't covering it. Why?

They're trying to get statements from Rick Santorum and Kellyanne Conway first!

No T rump arranged this but the truth came out anyway. He wanted another sex pest on the Supremes. Ultimate protection when the 1,001 other heinous acts of this administration get exposed.

If Kavanaugh is confirmed - which shouldn't be in question but I have no doubt the latest revelations won't matter to Republicans - you can count on Avenatti to go after him in the state of Maryland which has no statute of limitations.

This may have sent Miz Lindzey's home to her fainting couch. She has to collect herself before going on Fox a few hours later.

How does a proper lady reflect on "pulling trains"?

They haven't been paying attention, r113. Avenatti may look like some slick guido hustler to some people and so they discount him but he has a fine legal mind and is a master at out thinking and out maneuvering the opposition. He's a street brawler. Which is what you need to be to go up against these scumbags.

What the choices here?

Pull a vote, the outcome which is in doubt... (and apparently there are less guaranteed votes than you may think)

Cancel and leave the seat vacant, hoping to activate voters

Cancel and prepare for a new nominee for post-midterm examination

Yes, Miss Lindsay will be on Fox, calling all three ladies, "vicious liars" I am sure we have been through this before, many times.

Collins is a lowlife, nothing.

[quote]How does a proper lady reflect on "pulling trains"?

Oh fiddle dee dee... those brutish boys at the Kappa Alpha house just a rough housing and stinking of bourbon and branch and forcing themselves on unescorted young ladies. Thank the good Lord that my Mammy traveled with me every where I went to protect me from such beasts.

Republicans are pretty much all criminals...they have no conscience at all...none of them.

Why won’t Collins and Murkowski come out as “nos” and end this charade already?

McConnell keeps a tight ship because he is a vicious cunt.

But even he knows the vote is teetering on disaster.

"He wanted another sex pest on the Supremes."

Effie, what does Berry Gordy have to do with any of this?

I assume the posters who are questioning why she went to such parties, and generally indulging in victim-blaming, are the same people who yesterday were saying Avenatti had nothing and promoting the 4chan fantasy. As if Avenatti would make any public claim based only on the say-so of a woman and male reference whom he'd never met or did any background check on; as if Avenatti had never heard of burner phones or couldn't imagine a contact lying to him.

Those posters seem to have evanesced somewhat today.

The Senatrice finds herself torn; all this salacious talk has stirred up feelings she thought had died with big daddy mccain. She also realizes how much she missed going to a public high school.

McConnell is a prick.

If the Americans would take to the streets in great numbers they could stop the madness, but they won 't.

EVERY GOP Senator who ultimately votes to confirm Kavanaugh must be PILLORIED and smeared during his next reelection campaign as a "champion of rapists and molesters!" at EVERY interview, debate and appearance! Even in deep red states, decent people must take a stand and demand that John Thune, Pat Roberts, Tom Cotton, Deb Fischer and EVERY GOP rapist lover explain their votes of support for this criminal scumbag Kavanaugh!

He didn't have enough definite Ys before today r135. Murkowski, Flake and Collins insisted in this hearing first. It is why it is happening.

evanesced: lovely word choice

If the pull Kavanaugh Trump will have Kelly fire Rosenstein. He needs a judge that will let him skate.

A vote will be very clarifying - let's know where the fuckers stand.

[quote]She saw these boys stand outside the room waiting to take their turn raping drunk girls many times...yet she kept going to these parties and became one of these girls herself. WTF??? Why would she keep going to these parties?

Why did so many white women vote for Trump? Patriarchy and going along to get along. Look the other way or be shunned.

Not to mention, it’s easy to be convinced that “those girls” were consenting party girls. No one wants to think that an actual crime is in progress, or that it could have been you (until it is, and you just want to forget it and pretend it didn’t happen).

Also, most of the targets tend to be girls without a posse or from outside the social circle.

As to "why didn't their parents know and why didn't they say something back then?" Many girls who are raped do not tell their parents because they know how deeply disturbing it will be for them and that they will be deeply hurt by this act of violence against their daughter. Some can't tell their parents because they were raised by alcoholics and/or disordered narcissists who only care about themselves and who will make the situation much worse or re-traumatize them.

These girls and women also feel ashamed and embarrassed even though they are the victim, not the rapist who is the one who really should feel ashamed. They feel that their parents can't do anything about it and don't want to see them hurt over something they can't change or fix. And they are also fearful of repercussions by the rapists and those who side with the rapists. They probably already witnessed that outcome, and where people take sides, since it is fairly common.

Those were the reasons two girls and one young woman gave me when they confided that they had been raped many years earlier; one of these rapes occurred at the college (Rutgers in NJ) she attended but it was not another student. It was a campus outsider who somehow got into the student area, and another had occurred at a loud and noisy sporting event. They knew their parents couldn't do anything about it and didn't want to upset them so they told me that they never told their parents.

One of the victims told me she was sure her father would have hunted down the guy and shot him and buried him on the outskirts of their property as they had a lot of acreage and she was afraid he would be caught and imprisoned. These were also stranger rapes and the rapists were never identified where they could go after them. So they figured what was the point if they didn't know who the rapist was and didn't want to put their parents through that ordeal. Teenagers and young adults don't always make the best decisions, especially when we factor in that the human brain is not fully developed until age 25.

On another note, the fact that Kavanaugh wants to gut/overturn Roe v Wade strongly suggests that he hates women and wants to control them however he can. Control is the main motivation in rape. As we know, rape is not about the actual sex, it's about rage, hatred and control. So this all ties together. All combined this is a clear indication of misogyny, which is also indicative of a disorder, such as possibly sociopathy or NPD/narcissism.

I am not joking here and am dead serious about this comment; Trump & Co belong in a mental institution or in prison, either way behind bars. All of them. Not in government, in the White House making decisions for normal, caring, law-abiding people. What we have are criminals in power abusing their power and making decisions for non-criminals. I'd liken it to a known pedophile/registered sex offender in charge of a daycare center or a felon bank robber in charge of the bank vault. It really is baffling. And dangerous.

If he is voted to the bench or not -- Kavanaugh is not going away...

Bu...bu...but my calendars!

I have protested numerous times since the traitor was installed, R141.

This has GOT to turn Collins and Murkowski. Come on

So the question to every YES vote is, "Why did you vote yes to an accused multiple sex crime offender without even an FBI -- or an other kind of -- investigation?"

Kavanaugh just put out a statement saying the allegation is "ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone"

Kavanaugh's HANDLERS just put out a statement. A rather desperate sounding one, too, I might add.

DL loves gang rape!

R154, if he’s talking, he’s lying. He lies constantly.

This is such an important point about her sworn testimony....

[quote] Bu...bu...but my calendars! —Brett Kavanaugh

The New York Times published your calendars, Brett. And you know what really stood out? The days marked "going to (Mark) Judge's" It underscores the old saying, You are known by the company you keep.

Lets be clear about one thing. The country tends to focus on young men of color when it comes to crime, but there is no place more dangerous than fraternity row at a lily white college on a Friday night. Drunken entitled white boys who feel invincible and think that they can get away with anything are dangerous.

This is NOT boys being boys. As a boy, I’ve been to numerous parties in my life and never seen this shit. This is what privileged straight white boys do

Just like Trump’s locker room talk never actually ever happens in most locker rooms

On the Atchison, Topeka and the Kavanaugh!

He is owning up to drinking beer in high school. According to Lawrence O’Donnell last night the drinking age had been 18 yrs old. By the time Kavanaugh turned 18 the age was changed to 21. Kavanaugh lied on that one.

R159 I agree. And nobody writes "Gang Bang at 3pm" on their calendar.

R164 No one? This is DL, look around you.

I beg your pardon. R164

[quote]This may have sent Miz Lindzey's home to her fainting couch. She has to collect herself before going on Fox a few hours later.

She has to wring out her moist, moist pantaloons first.

"Suprise Anal at 3PM," however . .

In America, you can always find a forced non-consensual gangbang. In Russia, the forced non-consensual gangbang finds you.

R164 here. Okay, I'm busted!!

(but you guys know what I meant, right?)

I do NOT wish to hear about The Senatrice's moist mussy R167

I already can't keep my bile down.

Is this nomination collapsing in real time now?

I heard an interesting comment yesterday on either a podcast or MSNBC that really made me pause. They said that one reason the GOP and most white men are sticking to Kavanaugh like glue is that if he goes down for this, then a huge amount of them are at risk because of what might be in their past. Whether they would be vulnerable for same or similar behavior, or for turning an eye to abuse of any degree, at any time, they are under threat. And that threat of a chink being taken out of their power structure is uniting them.

Why, not at all, R172! This fine, upstanding man is going to be confirmed right on schedule and will make a splendid addition to our nation's illustrious history of jurisprudence.

I want to know whether he's raping anyone now. Worried about those little girls on the basketball team. I hope their parents are asking them if he's touched them.

Why so testy, Cheeto gurl?

Fat Ass took the bait! He just made his first Avanatti tweet. The shit is going to start raining on this disgusting mother fucker starting now!

Sociopathy:

Financial issues (overextending on credit, juggling huge debts)

Sexual aggression

Ambition, high office

Chronic lying

What else?

Kavanaugh has gotta be sweating bullets at this. Whoopi pointed out Pill Cosby was convicted despite forensic evidence, which is a big step forward for the victims.

he probably thought this was a slam dunk, the arrogant shit.

I, for one, consider it my civic duty to edge and rim Mr. Michael Avenatti for as long as he likes.

I can't believe he finally mentioned Avenatti by name. Poor Trump - hope he strokes out. If they continue the rush to put judge Kav on the bench they are giving the middle finger to every citizen of this country.

re 154 i hope they play this song on snl in the inevitable kavanuagh clip...

The entire GOP fits your description, R178. They will push through no matter what for Kavanaugh’s appointment. We are not dealing with empathetic, well reasoned persons with high integrity. We are dealing with absolute filth. Criminals. These men would kill their own mothers, if it guaranteed them certain desired results.

Americans need to wake the fuck up. We are absolutely, completely under siege, and Democracy worldwide is hanging on a thread at this very moment.

If Kavanaugh is appointed, I believe we are done.

I predict violence If Kavanaugh is appointed.

Trump is attempting to throw down with avenatti on twitter it's gonna get C R A Z Y Can't wait!

Trump, insisting the whole Stormy Daniels thing never happened? Does he not know that all of America knows the Stormy Daniels sutuation, DID HAPPEN! Why does no one ever correct Trump when he tells obvious lies?

I could see Avenetti following this up tomorrow morning at 9am with a request for criminal charges in Maryland.

Would that be a possibility? (UK, not fully conversant with US law)

I'm sure some of them have done just that, r175. Wouldn't you? We got a brief look at the people he keeps around him when his former law clerk sat behind him throwing out the White Power sign. To gaslight and trigger the Libtards. Their idea of fun. I wonder who asked Condi Rice to take her place? Makes her look like a useful idiot. Along with George Dubaya and Laura. They're standing by their man! This guy is scum. Hope someone is investigating any ties he might have to White Supremacists.

I predict far more if he's not appointed, R184. It's the anti-abortion people who've killed doctors etc.

If he's appointed, I predict another round of peaceful Women's Marches. Millions around the world, not one violent incident.

[quote]Why won’t Collins and Murkowski come out as “nos” and end this charade already

I think Murkowski will vote against but she wants to take that position at the conclusion of the proceedings to be able to argue she’s heard all that can be heard, such as it is. She has been interestingly quiet for the most part throughout.

Collins may be a dark horse after all but I have no faith in her. She’s a republican first it seems. She’s quaking in her boots over all this. Figuratively and literally.

R187 I heard dr.ford hired her new attorney expressly for the purpose of pressing charges. No time limit on reporting rape in the state of Maryland.

At this stage I don’t see how elder flake can vote yes with a clean Christian conscience.

Millions in the Women's Marches, right before midterms, and all of them will vote.

Avenatti isn't going to get into a Twitter war with the asshole. Let Trump tweet himself to death. Slander suit in the making. That can wait for another day. That's why he locked his Twitter account. Going to do his talking in the court of public opinion and a court of law.

R192 where did you hear that?!!????

Also, I read this morning that Brett’s mommy was the mother fucking DA while he was in high school!!!! No shit, these girls KNEW that he would never be charged!!!!!

This Democrat is trying to stop the Kavanaugh vote.

R196, link please? TIA.

I can't believe parents are leaving their daughters to be "coached" by this guy. Disgusting. Irresponsible.

If he's not nominated, there won't be protests. There are plenty of anti-abortion candidates that can be nominated next who don't have such problematic pasts.

Trump supports this one since he also won't allow a POTUS to be charged for a crime.

R195 think again. He's baiting him.

I graduated in 1986 from an all-male private high school, around Kavanaugh's time, ironically very close to Yale where Kav continued his sexist behavior. There was a group of guys from fairly wealthy families who had nice cars, partied all the time, drank and smoked pot, and bragged about having anal sex with their GFs to avoid getting them pregnant. I knew of the same type of guys in college, again a private, religious-based university in the same geographic area. For me and my friends, it would have never even crossed our minds to drug or "run a train" on someone regardless of whether alcohol was involved or not. It astounds me that some people have no morals or basic common sense about how to treat other people. Why in the world would they think it's okay to act like a bunch of cavemen? I'm not naive. I've seen plenty of bad in this world, but I just don't understand how people can be so evil to one another.

And what if their vote doesn't count because it has been rigged? I hope all of this does get resolved peacefully, but they keep pushing and pushing and pushing.

[quote]Kavanaugh is faced with two unattractive options: withdraw or testify at a high-profile hearing Thursday. He has pledged to do the latter, though either leaves his name tarnished. “It’s difficult to imagine an exit strategy that’s not personally and professionally devastating for Kavanaugh,” Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University Law School professor, told The Washington Post on Tuesday. Those encouraging the federal judge to withdraw are telling him to cut his losses, Turley said. But the losses are quite considerable. “He’s been accused of being an attempted rapist. There’s not a viable option for Kavanaugh beyond appearing at this hearing and defending his actions and reputation,” he said. At this stage, many lawyers think a withdrawal would cement the allegations into his record.

[quote]This may have sent Miz Lindzey's home to her fainting couch. She has to collect herself before going on Fox a few hours later.

[quote]How does a proper lady reflect on "pulling trains"?

She reflects on Streetcars named Desire. Which only makes matters so much worse, given what Stanley did to Blanche.

Trump mentioning Avenatti by name is a capitulation, a weak position, a retreat and defeat.

Avenatti for the win! Ding, ding, ding, ding!

Kavanaugh walking back his virginal claims is not a good look, this is panic/crisis mode dialed to 11.

They are already talking shit about Julie, saying she is a slut who sleep with married men and ruins families

Flake speaking now on the Senate floor.

For r198. You have to read through because for much of mommy’s career she was a judge, but prior to that she was the Asst. DA.

Side note, I thought his mother dressed like a whore at his nomination proceeding, totally short skirt hiked up mid-thigh — Floosie.

WaPo says Flake is to speak soon about the kavanaugh hearing scheduled for tomorrow. Seems hard for me to believe he’s going to say something I. Support of the nomination. If he supported he would keep his head down.

R209, that's shit's laughable. Anyone can say anything if they're anonymous.

If you want to get a better insight as to why he surrounds himself with people like that racist clerk, just read the musings of his BFF, Mark Judge.

One question I would love for Dems to ask Kav — who did you lose your virginity with? Think about that.

Avenatti for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2018 and Robert Mueller for Person of the Year in 2019.

Daaanng, R201.

I think there are plenty of people who have Trump's number, and know how to neutralize / unmask sociopathy.

Avanatti seems to be the only one with balls big enough to do it.

Ma Kavanaugh looks like an SNL character.

I am a woman and simply can't put into words how sad I am at hearing this. I also don't understand how girls should stay at such a party but I also remember how ignorant and naive many of us were as teens. You want to be accepted and part of the "in" crowd, and many disrespect themselves and their instincts to be cool. But gang rape? It's beyond the pale. Makes me want to vomit.

Zoom in on mommy’s skirt. This whole family is disgusting trash, I am CERTAIN his mother protected him from charges. I would put money on it.

Flake sermonised but said nothing. He is basically scolding republicans without naming names. But he is trying to have it both ways. Moral high ground but no action.

I must say, the "Let's go!" at the end of Avenatti's reply to trump's tweet (R201) is kinda sexy.

He didn't lock his account, r195.

[quote] Republicans knew all about these victims.Thats why they had his daughters at confirmation hearing and put up that facade of perfect "coach".Now they are trying to rush vote......i hope all victims press charges.

I believe this. There was something revolting about the way he recited the name of each girl on the team. It was curiously and completely out of place in that forum. Now we know why he did it.

Numerous women have called Trump out on his shit but they are women so it doesn't matter.

good thing for his "legacy" that John McCain died and that his last action won't be voting to appoint a sexual predator to a lifelong position of power

Example of Mark Judge's skeeviness, from R214's link:

[quote]The orgasm is why when I was 15 I climbed a pine tree that was about three stories tall to get a peek into the bedroom of a hot girl named Stacey.

Agreed, R222. Was just thinking that. Even better that he used just a period ("Let's go.") rather than an exclamation mark. Sexier.

I think Collins has Parkinsons, her voice and head shake badly

The Failing is FINALLY reporting on this.

This woman is very photogenic so she will probably be believed. Sad but true.

If he molested any of the girls on that team, I hope someone is there to care for them and help them. Doesn't matter if they come forward - just hope they can heal.

R224, You're exactly right, and he specifically mentioned that they were 15 or in HS, etc. It was awkward then, and now we know it was a preemptive move to polish his Catholic Dad image.

By the way, I mean it's sad but true that you have to be photogenic to be believed.

This won’t stick, sadly. Look closely at the details: she was assaulted but not by Kavannaugh. She says he was in the room, but until someone else comes forward to corroborate, it’s her word against his.

Same for what she witnessed. Unless other people come forward to corroborate exactly what she is claiming, it will fizzle.

Oy. This is so awful and nasty. I want this fucker to fry, but the vile GOP seem to be doubling down.

I think the society is still coming to terms with what rape is. For a lot of people there is a disconnect between 'boys being boys', 'fraternity hi-jinks', 'teenage shenanigans' and rape. And most victims won't come forward because they will be ripped apart, especially if they accuse someone wealthy and connected. I totally understand if a victim doesn't want her life and her choices put on trial.

[quote] Avenatti is an American hero.

mmm.....

I would not take it that far. He is enjoying his moment in the spotlight way too much for his actions to be completely altruistic. "Hero" is an overstatement.

[quote]Collins' refusal to grow a spine has basically eliminated any future career prospects. She'll be jobless come election time.

And she'll walk directly into a K Street job paying millions of dollars a year. Ain't American grand.

Also from R214's link:

[quote]When I was growing up in Maryland I had girls living on either side of me. In one house was Lori, a pretty blonde. On the other were two cute brunette twins, Pam and Leslie. There were nights when my desire for them was so swamping that I literally felt dizzy.

Mark Judge sounds a bit like he's protesting too much. Comes across like Tucker Carlson, too eager to insist on his manly heterosexualism.

Is Haberman skipping lunch in her fervor to tear down the third victim?

Flake is a coward and a Trump voter. He always votes with Trump, he will this time too.

What kind of cheers me up, I think Democrats have finally wised up to the criminal Trump lovers and they are coming after them.

R234, there are corroborating witnesses. Avenatti is holding them back for now. Strategic.

On Nicole Wallace's show last week, when it was revealed she was adding Michael bromovich to her legal team, the panel speculated that pressing charges in MD might be on the table. just speculation right now.

[quote]The entire GOP fits your description, [R178]. They will push through no matter what for Kavanaugh’s appointment.

Yep. The GOP is willing to give away the House, Senate and Presidency over the next one or two election cycles in order to gain a 30-year Court appointment.

I read last night that 4 (four!) of the 11 Republican men on the Judiciary Committee, which will vote on Kavanaugh, are Mormon.

But why would his name point to criminal charges? I’m hoping that’s true.

R223 He did lock his account for a while yesterday. Too many bots and 4chan BS.

Did we know that Beth Wilkinson, Brett Kavanaugh's attorney, is married to CNN's David Gregory?

Correct, R244. From the Times's "Mormon women's group says slow down etc." article.

I guess I should look this 4chan shit up because i completely missed it. But why would Avanatti care about 4channers?

Yashar is hearing things I don't want be be true, but likely is

I think Collins does have Parkinson's but I have no sympathy for her when I see her acting like a coward.

R247, I did not know that and was shocked. I just read her Wiki, it says she is a close personal friend of Merrick Garland!

I sense the concern trolls seeping in now...

Concern trolls sure are concerned.

You're correct, R253. They are unleashed by Breitbart, 4chan, or whatever, like annoying little flying monkeys that they are.

[quote]Yashar is hearing things I don't want be be true, but likely is

Yashar: "Four senior White House aides ... are not shocked, they all said they are dubious of these claims, and all of them, in one way or another, say that @MichaelAvenatti is BSing

Which is exactly what they said about Avenatti's last client.

Fuck off R160 with your racial preoccupation. I thought be shut your racist black ass down here in your thread attacking mentally ill white men who can't work

So Trump was laughed at openly at the UN, his adored Supreme Court nominee is rape-adjacent at least, and the lawyer for his former porn-star conquest has openly called him a liar, narcissist, disgrace and embarrassment. And it's only Wednesday.

In quieter news, Christine Blasey Ford has 4 witnesses to whom she told her story and named Kavanaugh as perpetrator in 2012-2013. These witnesses are prepared to testify. The Ford team is using stealth and steadiness. A nice counterpoint to Avenatti and his client. Two-way punch. The Colorado woman is icing on the cake. (excuse mixed metaphors. I'm too excited.)

[quote]Flake sermonised but said nothing.

CNN's Manu Raju:

Flake raced back behind closed doors and would NOT say if he believes the Friday vote should be delayed

I asked if it should be delayed

“In light of the New allegations and the Avenattis stuff? I haven’t looked at that.”

He also wouldn’t say if the FBI should probe allegations

The GOP would do well to cut their losses.

It worries me that they haven't. More election rigging? Promises to all GOP Senators that if this costs them their seat, they'll get cushy private sector jobs for their sacrifice?

It energizes their base

I know the House isn't involved, but is Paul Ryan saying anything? I hate him.

He did last night, r223. I think engaging this fool on Twitter is a mistake. At least for today. I get that he's baiting him but he needs to be focused on his client.

Paul Ryan has been MIA

No one who isn't involved will say a fucking thing! House members are praising whatever gods they worship they aren't part of this shitstorm.

Is Paul Ryan banging Cockgobbler Aaron Schock in WeHo?

ANd they don’t want to undermine McTurtle in public

R234- Kavanaugh didn't need to be in the room. Remember, in his Fox interview, he said he'd never even HEARD of any kind of these parties. Now both Julie and Mark Judge's ex-gf are saying these parties existed. That's enough to hang him.

[quote]"Hero" is an overstatement.

Understatement IMO.

And r262 is right. Trump has seen that his mouthbreathers are all fired up about this. Even if he loses Kav, he gets them worked up and that might translate into a better midterm turnout, when they might otherwise feel defeated about the polls and the coming blue wave.

re 250 white house sources? Please these are the same sources who alleged Rosenstein resigned. Avenatti may be a bit of a game whore but he brings the goods and knows how to play the game. He is setting them up by releasing a little. He warned them not to attack his client. He has more. they are already attacking her sayong why didnt she report it. maybe she did.

I think Republicans truly KNOW that Mueller will prove there's been corruption, $ laundering blackmail, and who knows what else, and stacking SCOTUS in their favor is their final desperate attempt before the shit goes down.

So what was the purpose of Flake speaking if he didn’t actually say anything? No, wait. I don’t really need an answer to that question.

Miss Lindsey is getting it now. Which one of you bitches tweeted this?

Kavanaugh's blanket denials (lies) will continue to bite him in his ass.

Blanket denials are a guilty man's trap.

An innocent man would say "Yes, I heard of this parties, etc, but I was too busy at those OTHER party passed out to have done...." "Look, here are pics my asshole frat buddies took of me unconsciousness."

Llindsey Graham is brutally attacking these 3 women. The Senator has invested an awful into Kavanaugh. There's something there quite odd.

Miss Lindsey just got some attention from Avenatti! To the fainting couch!

Somebody has to have some photos from these parties. we need them asap

Someone has photos of Miss Lindsey

Some genius DLer should out Ms. Lindsey. Once and for all. Get those pics with the army boy. OUT HIM! Take away Russia's leverage on him.

If it was just that he's gay and closeted, he wouldn't be so adamant about pushing Kavanaugh and attacking the victims.

I shudder to think what the GOP/Putin/billionaire benefactors have on him.

I expect the GOP 'leadership' are contemplating ditching conductor brett-- IF they can spin it in such a way to limit the mid term damage. It's either play the victim or double down and lose the Senate as well.

So Miss. Lindsey played golf with Trump one day and his whole take on Sessions changed?

Clearly Trump has info on Miss Lindsay, and hinted that he has it. Obvious. Info passed along from Russia or someone in the intelligence community (FBI NY maybe).

If the GOP is taking lessons from Vlad, Kavanaugh would do well to send his family to a safe location.

Flake's statement was meant to offer a luke warm defense of Kavanaugh masquerading as concern for his alleged victims. It was embarrassing to watch and painful to listen to. Many of these feckless, stumble bums are revealing themselves in ways we have never seen before. I am a nurse. I don't make fun of Collins based on a medical diagnosis that I am not privy to. Her dithering, doltishness is an act. It masks a steel spine and makes her look thoughtful and fair. She decided to vote yes way before the confirmation hearing.

r67 I literally LOLed at that! That's a prank. Bot assault.

The worst thing I have ever done at a party was help shave off one eyebrow of some dude who had passed out.

Just one. And we drew it in so when he took a shower, it came off. It was hilarious and didn't scar him for life.

Have you seen Kavanaugh's calendar? During Beach Week, several days have women's names on them. Kinda odd, but have you heard his explanation for that? No way in hell I would have released that calendar. Are these people on crack?

Who the fuck keeps their calendars from that far back? That is very strange.

Is DiFi working with her Senate "friends from the other side" to push a damper on all of this? Is Avenetti too vulgar for her?

Trump freaking out, defaming women now, men are laughing with him. Nice going, dummy.

Maybe it's why I'm not a nominee for the Supreme Court, but my summer calendar for the same time would have been filled with Gilligan Island and Mayberry RFD reruns.

Will Miss Pence be commenting anytime soon?

This is Rachel Mitchell, the woman from Arizona who Republicans are bringing in to question Dr. Ford tomorrow.

Wish Miss Lindsey had said at some point "If any woman can say this about him, anyone could do the same to anyone - they could come for me."

And of course everyone would say "No, no women are going to accuse you of anything."

Susan Boyle?! R293

Seriously, how many here even kept a written calendar in high school, much less saved it?

Holy Smokes, cleaning house with MSNBC on. Some guest said Kav was member of the Tit and Clit Club ON LIVE TV! Jeeze. “No means anal”. What a time to be alive.

I agree 296 and what bizzare things to put on it. Like grounded?

OMG R297 I was just going to note that . YEEESH.

Miss Lindsey must hate the drama of this corrupt administration which places him right in the middle of it. She has to miss the Obama years where she had McCain and Craigslist.

I keep thinking lindsey's dirt includes underage boys. He seems the type.

Beach week is trending on twitter... there have to be more who will come forward with dirt on that.

I think the Senatrix's only real dirt is that he wants power.

Kavanaugh's lawyer on MSNBC? Is that her?

I want to remind you that Mr. Kavanaugh is an exceptional white, heterosexual family man with a lovely wife and kids.

Will the questioning be sung-thru, r293?

Beth Wilkinson. She sucks. Can't keep up with the MSNBC host. Wilkinson needs media training.

FWIW, I just called the Senate switchboard and asked for turtle using zip 40506 (Lexington) and the lines were jammed. I got the "experiencing high volume of calls" then sent to voice mail which was full.

Let's burn this fucking turtle to the ground!

A lot of the witnesses are probably afraid of being sued, or maybe shunned.

They should do it Trump-style, and brag about it all.

Jesus- know I'm stating the obvious, but is there not a man or woman on the left who doesn't want to bed Avenatti at this point??

[quote]I can understand her not reporting, but cannot understand why she would keep going to these so-called parties if gang rape was going on.

I wonder if she was in a sorority? Remember that leaked sorority sister email a few years ago, where the leader threatened to "cunt-punt" any sister/pledge who refused to party or be friendly enough to the BMOC's? If she was in a sorority at the time, she was probably ordered to go, drink whatever they had, and keep her mouth shut about whatever went on there.

R310 No, and you just know he is a great fuck. I feel so old and ugly!

Why do all his supporters (including his lawyer) keep saying, “We have people who were at that party and he wasn’t even there and nothing like that happened”? How do they know what party? This is insane.

Keep it real, people.

I hope Ford files charges in Maryland. Did this occur in Maryland? There are no statutes of limitations on this sort of thing there.

SO true, R314. People need to get that in their heads.

Ford's lawyers release the results of her polygraph test

I feel like Kavanaugh was so heavily groomed for this position that there is no going back for any of them. I wonder who’s money is behind him. This is a mess.

He's not my type but I admire his skill as a lawyer and his ability to play it both ways. Street brawler when it's warranted, going up against scum like Trump, or thoughtful and professional. He's got balls. And apparently no skeletons in his closet or they would have been made public by now. That gives him a clear advantage over the opposition.

Here's our president verbally tweeting "I think it's working out very well."

Reporter: Do you think all three women are lying?

POTUS: What's your next question?

Cheeto calls Avenatti a lowlife again on live TV

I haven't been online all morning therefore I've missed Ivana Marie's statement on these new developments. As a "champion for women, not just in word but in action," I expect it was scorching!

Someone get me up to speed, please?

R310, he could fuck me until I screamed #basta!

[quote]

R311 This might help:

The-Old-Boy's-Prep-School-Rape-Club is coming apart.

Predators find each other (Kavanaugh/Kozinski) and groom each other (Kozinski's son) and hunt.

[quote]Yes, my first thought when I hear about rape is blaming the girls...

My first thought with these right-wing assholes is they're always the ones who go on about how women are treated in other cultures - like they give a shit about women's right.

Same people who defended the Iraq war by saying "Saddam was killing his own people" as if they didn't cheer on US weapons killing those same people.

Why do I think this wanna be preppy cunt wouldn't be calling Avenatti a "lowlife" if his name didn't end in a vowel?

Avenatti is not married, nor is he dating anyone. He's a monk-warrior, spending his libidinal energies only on the good fight.

Why do I think this wanna be preppy cunt wouldn't be calling Avenatti a "lowlife" if his name didn't end in a vowel?

R328 Which only makes him hotter! I need to believe that. I'll be heartbroken when I see who he's fucking.

Did I say lowlife? Sorry, I meant wop.

Rich Lowry claims the GOP Senators except for Collins are standing behind Kavanaugh. Though it is Rich Lowry.

The people standing around listening to Graham look a tad unimpressed or outright disgusted.

Miz Lindsay on tv now - vilifying the 3rd accuser. Claims he’s jealous of her.

Lindsay has her panties all in a bunch. She’s triggered.

Ms. Lindsay: "I can vouch for Brett Kavanaugh. I exposed myself to him many times and he never laid a finger on me!"

I’m not sure why the GOP thinks they can besmirch Avenatti. He’s a bit of an opportunist but he was right about Trump, Cohen and Stormy Daniels - I don’t remember that being invalidated.

How is Rich Lowry still around? Oh, right. Neocon.

I'll never forget a long time ago when he was on Hardball and he was going on and on about the "Arab Street" and blah, blah, blah about the "Arab street" (typical Likudnik/Neocon bullshit) and Matthews asked if he'd ever been to the Middle East and the "Arab street" and Lowry said "No."

Here's the thing--I had the best piece of ass ever in my life in my dorm in Maryland . . . I was raised in the Bay Area/San Francisco, and had always been aware of it's "small town" mentality, but when I landed in Washington for school, I had no idea of what a real party town it was, or how everyone knows everyone else's business . . . Washington is awash in liquor & other favors, so you really must believe Brett when he talks about his drinking . . . we'd dance until late at the Pier, show up at Mr Henry's Georgetown the next morning for brunch/cocktails, & then go to church at National Cathedral before going home to Bethesda/River road. You had to be in that preppy milieu to really understand Brett . . . he's performed any "real work" in his life, has now surrounded himself with little girls/women--he's a faggot from day one.

The truth doesn't matter r338. Trump still says that what Avenatti said about him and Stormy Daniels was all false, which is absurd at this point but that doesn't matter.

Senator Feinstein and Senator Murkoskwi have been huddling and whispering to each by the elevators in the basement of the Capitol for some time now. From the pictures it’s obvious Feinstein is the dom and Murkoskwi is the sub. Go get her Diane!

*never performed any "real work"*

I think the murmurs of coalescing around Kavanaugh is all show for tomorrow...

I think Collins is not going to sleep tonight. I think Mormonboy Flake will see a lot of hours tick off, too.

I think Heller is worrying the hell out of McConnell.

BREAKING: Judiciary Democrats are requesting President Trump immediately withdraw the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh or direct the FBI to thoroughly investigate the multiple allegations of sexual assault.

It really annoys me all these GOP mouth pieces going on about how an innocent man should not have his life ruined by not being confirmed to the Supreme Court - to these heartless people I have two words: Merrick Garland. If being denied a seat on the court is tantamount to ruining one’s life, WHAT ABOUT MERRICK GARLAND’S LIFE?

Pfft. If Kavanaugh has to withdraw, he will be fine. He can probably get a book deal and become a Faux talking head.

Before trump's stench permeated the Oval Office I had never heard of pussy grabbing, Stormy Daniels, or rape trains. We've seen him mocking a disabled man and learned he cheated on the Vairst Laidy right after she gave birth. What a vile, despicable creature. The Russians pay off trump and the NRA and countless republican congressmen. Republicans cheat to "win." How in the hell do parents these day even attempt to explain any of this to their kids?

Oh, and Merry Christmas everyone, even to the Jews, Muslims, and Atheists among us.

I feel so bad for Mitch McConnell. He must be so upset by all this.

r348, really? You end on "think of the children"? Frau.

If we EVER needed confirmation that the Republican party was up to It's eyeballs in Corruption, Kompromat, 100% against the will of the Majority of the American People this vote is it. They are FUCKING DIRTY- ALL OF THEM! I don't know if It's in financial matters, FUCKING live boys/dead girls or all the way back to Iran-Contra. And yeah, there's some Dem's mixed in there too. Jesus, when did it get this bad- we're they even honest through the 20th Century?

Dear GOP,

Dump the rapist psycho already. preferably off a cliff.

Why can’t some reporter just simply ask Miss Lindsay in one of those press gaggles in the corridor...... Senator, yes or no, are you homosexual?

If I was the parents of those little girls, I would get a RO astat. That guy is fucking sick. I always thought that was a creepy thing to do.

In an ideal world, Kavanaugh's wifey-poo would give a press conference with daughters in tow, saying they're leaving him...as it's not a fit environment for females to be around him.

I really wonder what goes through her head at night.

Another woman who was in that circle has this to say

[Quote]Elizabeth said she infrequently saw Brett Kavanaugh during this time – often at house parties. “He was cute. He was always nice,” she said. One night she ran across an apparently inebriated Brett Kavanaugh and things went differently then. Previously, he had always been nice to her. “ But not that night. He was drunk. He was obnoxious and crude. I had a friend with me and we left. His football buddies were laughing at us. Maybe they were laughing at him, but I didn’t take it that way and they didn’t do anything to keep him from being a jerk.”

To any of those questioning how Swetnick could have subjected herself to the degradation/humiliation of re-visiting potentially threatening and abusive parties, think about how tenuous and fragile an adolescents ego is? How dependent it is on peer pressure where "Everybody does it", especially in a highly competitive environment that those super rich, ultra-influential kids moved in. Lastly, Jesus, we all know of women MANY years older who stay in shitty, abusive relationships FOR YEARS and don't have the balls to get out.

Mitch McConnell destroyed his political capital by trying to fast track a serial rapist to the US Supreme Court. And before the serial rapist Kavanaugh, there was that fucking twisted Child Molester, Roy Moore.

WTF are you doing GOP? THIS IS SICK and VILE!

Let's not forget, there is that child detention, child abuse, children in cages GOP plan, that the ACLU and other human rights organizations are trying to shut down, as we speak.

If you are a registered Republican, it is not you. These elected republican officials are BATSHIT SICK. PLEASE Join us and vote them OUT OF OFFICE.

[quote] " I know it’s really gonna upset a lot of gay men. I’m sure hundreds of ’em are gonna be jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge – but I ain’t available. I ain’t gay. Sorry.”

Fyi R49

The FBI could investigate but only if the White House asks the bureau to do so (that ain't gonna happen). The alleged victims have no authority to request it. Neither does the Senate.

These accusations are not Federal crimes.

The FBI has no independent authority to open a criminal investigation. Its only role would be to re-open the Kavanaugh background investigation.

"ain't"—so butch!

Trump will be holding a press conference at 5pm EST. Should be a real shit show.

Flake spoke this morning in the Senate asking for civility which we haven't had in the last two years and how this is no longer about politics but about people. He and his family have now had their lives threatened.

This is a 3 ring circus with the 3 ring ringmaster Trump

Okay, it's time we outed Lindsay Graham on all social media. He wants to know why women would wait so long to reveal something so traumatic, we need to ask him why he KEEPS waiting so long to reveal that he is gay.

He wants to ask personal sexual questions of others, but his private life is off limits? B U L L S H I T

Out the motherfucker.

Police probably wouldn't have done anything if called anyway. Maybe arrested a few for underage drinking. They had a tendency to shrug off rape.

For anyone who wants to call...

Susan Collins (202)224-2523

Lisa Murkowski (202) 224-6665

Jeff Flake (202) 224-4521

the 3rd victim isnt a deal breaker...........I highly doubt the kangaroo hearing tomorrow chgs things one way or another............my best guess is they vote him on the supremes Fri and no matter what happens, Collins is a yes...not even open for discusssion. The only thing that could stop it is if one of the 3 files a police report in maryland between now and tomorrow night charging Kavanaugh with assault. The most likely accuser to do that would be Ford.

Senator Merkley from Oregon is filing a lawsuit against trump and McTurtle to stop the vote.

I love my Senators

Most commentators seem to think it is legal bullshit r357, but I guess it is better than doing nothing.

R368*

Elisabeth Rasor, the one time girlfriend of Mark Judge, has said she would be happy to talk to the FBI or Senate now.

She is the one who told Ronan that Judge mentioned group sex on drunk girls.

I pray that Kamala Harris is asking questions tomorrow.

This might be a longshot, but does anyone know where retired Justice Kennedy's son Justin, who was trump's banker when no one else would be, went to high school? Any chance he went to school with Kavanaugh and the rapists?? I can't seem to find this info on the 'net.

Omg r373. Find out NOW!!!!!!!

The truth is ONLY women will give women equality. Until women vote for their interests (and not their husbands’ interests), they will never gain equal rights.

Politicians should be shuddering at what a vote for Kavanaugh would mean for their futures. Instead they are attacking the accusers as sluts and drunks.

Women, you could turn this all around. Instead you remain the floor shit you have always been with regards to other women.

Keep voting Republicans and you watch all your rights disappear. YOU did this to yourselves

Assuming this Justin Kennedy is the son (arrested for throwing cans at a football game, no less) - he was a sophomore at Stanford in the fall of 83, so he'd have graduated HS in 82. He would be a year ahead of Kavanaugh. I haven't found which HS he went to yet.

I believe Justice Kennedy was a judge on the 9th Circuit on the west coast before he was appointed to the SC in 1987, so was probably living there while his son was in hs (late 70s-early 80s). Justin would probably have been in hs in CA, no?

From ZeroHedge comments--

"Lindsey Graham is a homosexual and wears makeup"

new allegation:

A Republican aide on the committee said the conversation took place shortly after noon. While Republican staff posed questions to Kavanaugh, their Democratic counterparts were also on the call but did not ask any questions.

According to an anonymous complaint sent to Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, Kavanaugh physically assaulted a woman he socialized with in the Washington, D.C. area in 1998 while he was inebriated.

The sender of the complaint described an evening involving her own daughter, Kavanaugh and several friends in 1998.

more...

How many people have to come forward to talk about Kavanaugh is a aggressive drunk who becomes a piece of shit towards women?

Drunk actions are sober thoughts, once that veneer of niceness comes off with some bourbon he is a creep.

lol they said if maybe one more comes forward they will think about it

Well we now have a mother writing a letter to a Republican anonymously stating her daughter and 3 friends saw a drunken Kavanaugh push a woman against the wall in a sexual manner outside a restaurant in 1998.

Wow, a FOURTH accusation. Trump is going to go insane! Kavanaugh was a fool to think he could survive this. I hope he loses his seat on the bench as well.

1998 is only 3 years before he met his current wife while working at the White House.

I understand why, but they need to come forward with the physical assault claims. Being anonomous does no good.

I wish his wife would flip on him, you know she knows he's a violent drunk.

R385 I agree. Kudos to the women who have come forward—anonymous claims are much more problematic. But geez, after reading about what Dr. Ford has endured, I can hardly blame people for trying to stay anonymous.

I hope the witness in the 1998 incident is absolutely certain it was Kavanaugh she saw. Half the men in DC look just like him.

R387, that is very true. He is exactly like the kind of pasty douche in a Polo you would have seen at the now-closed Guards or someplace like that in Georgetown back in the late ‘90s (and, frankly, still).

None of this matters............must overturn Roe vs. Wade..........must overturn Roe vs. Wade.

It ain't about Roe v Wade, it's about prioritizing corporate interests over individual rights and consolidating Republican control over government.

[quote]How many people have to come forward to talk about Kavanaugh is a aggressive drunk who becomes a piece of shit towards women?

You act like this would matter to Republicans. If not for black women, Roy Moore would be in the Senate specifically because Republicans aka "family values patriots" view themselves as a Norman Rockwell painting rather than the reality: Trashy velvet Elvis paintings. These people are immoral trash who tell their daughters it's no big deal to get groped by a man.

They do not caaaaaaaaare how many women come forward.

An alcoholic, womanizing punk ass bitch as Supreme Court Justice.

Yep, we sure are draining the swamp.

Why aren't women all over the US marching? Tweeting isn't strong enough.

[quote]Maine is primed for gay colonization. I can totally see it. 1.33 million residents. Take it over, gay people.

Fuck no! The gays are trying to colonize Texas, which now has the second largest gay population in the country, and Texas is more important to us in the long run.

[quote]Why aren't women all over the US marching? Tweeting isn't strong enough.

They need time to knit more pussy hats. Look, all of us need to get in the streets, not just women. Is there anything planned like those Mueller firing events that are on standby?

R355, Wow! Dianne Feinstein actually has a tight little body for an old broad.

If you look at the culture in the Chevy Chase / Bethesda area you can understand alot about why this country is in the shitter. Nasty, entitled, sociopathically self absorbed place. And these are the people in proximity to power (lawmakers in DC or lawyers ). Worthless little shits like Kavanaugh get the finest Maryland education ,hobnob with the elites and then grow up to make laws. The DC media fails to report on alot of corruption because they don't want to be disinvited to their precious cocktail parties. I always roll my eyes at the statistics Ranking Montgomery county as the 2nd or 3rd most liberal. The place is chock full of preppy right wingers ,neocons ,and smarmy social climbers who love sucking right wing cock (and usually work in the DC media ) so I don't know what measurement they are using.

The entire state of Maryland could come forward, at this point, and these assholes will continue to DIG IN THEIR HEELS.

I can hear Trump’s American “backers” aka: conservative billionaires, on the phone now to McTurtle: “I don’t care if he raped Mother Fucking Teresa, or the Virgin Mary! You sons of bitches get him in that seat by the end of the week, or else!”

Conservative billionaires are Americans too. They deserve a voice!

Elana Schor: Senior Senate Democratic aide tells me there's a concern the GOP is "now releasing anonymous allegations in an effort to make all allegations look frivolous.

That thought crossed my mind on numbers 4 and 5, r400. They would stoop that low.

[quote]the GOP is "now releasing anonymous allegations in an effort to make all allegations look frivolous.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is who the asshole, enabling liberals who shriek about "SJW" want us to keep silent about for fear we alienate "moderates." Because these priceless moderates are apparently fine with the GOP stooping this low, but liberals punching back is simply ghaaaastly!

R380 "How many people have to come forward to talk about Kavanaugh is a aggressive drunk who becomes a piece of shit towards women?"

Well, 19 women came forward with accusations against Trump, and he was still elected POTUS, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say at least 20!

R401, they would, but that’s a very risky strategy. All people might take in is that there are more allegations.

Geez. Some Republican nut job just had a complete melt down on Anderson Cooper. Toobin kept his cool.

Kavanaugh has a red, blotchy face. That is a characteristic of alcoholics.

Fun game show idea: Show a picture of a man and contestants guess how many women would have to accuse him of rape before he gets jail time.

So Mark Judge has been hiding-out in a Delaware beach house?

He's a member of the Rehoboth Police Fan Club.

Kavanaugh and Judge were not very cute preppies. They may have struggled getting dates.

This is so fucking sad if he gets in. Payback better be a bitch in the midterms.

Kavanaugh's statement doesn't even discount the gang rape activity. He specifically says with more than one woman.

r380, one straight white man (doesn't matter if he's an itinerant handy man with a record or a semi-pro golfer social diary Biff who lives on dividends and a trust) or 50 women with impeccable professional careers, esteemed families, husbands who work at blue chip firms and 3 children on the honor roll who are fluent in Mandarin.

R412, that quote is quite an amazing slip.

What about with more than one man?

It is r414, the way he even stops to make sure he phrased it *exactly right*. Okay, I said more than one woman, not one man. I'm good.

I don't think this has anything to do with the women anymore. Kavanaugh said he didn't drink at that time and there was story after story of some of the Men that went to school with him who said that was not true at all. SO then Kavanaugh changed the story yesterday to drinking a few beers and once in a while having too many. The Senate responded with.....nothing. They don't care that he is the way he is a predator, they don't care that he lied under oath, they just want him in. Is Russia pulling the strings? who knows but I can't Wait until Mueller hits them all and we are permanently rid of them

Sure they are ugly, but aren't they from well connected and rich families? I'm sure they could get dates.

[quote]Why aren't women all over the US marching?

Because every other time they've marched, the media ignores it, and everyone dismisses it as "lame" and "just bitches in pink pussy hats."

LGBT groups marched with the women and I don't think more than maybe 4 DLers even realized it or cared.

But yeah, let's yell at women for not marching again, good use of our time.

There are too many Kavanaugh threads. We need an official thread for today’s hearing.

On a news report, they showed a picture of his calendar from that year. I can't believe he kept all that shit from back then!

I was hoping he’d off himself 😔

R405, here's a video of that segment...

OK DL. Let’s take some bets!

I wager that Kavanaugh will go through, despite the allegations brought forth during the hearing.

Thoughts, wagers?

i think he goes through. The women are not credible.

Their dates are the ones who wound up struggling, R410.

R420 Here you go - Official Thread for the hearing

[quote]Lindsay has her panties all in a bunch. She’s triggered.

Or just horny. Never can tell with that bitch.

One of Brett Kavanaugh’s college roommates has come forward to talk about the Supreme Court nominee’s drinking problem, and also about a dead pigeon he found nailed to his door.

Kit Winter was an out gay man at Yale University in the early 1980’s, the same time that Kavanaugh attended that school. They lived together in a three-person suite, with Winter in a single room and Kavanaugh sharing a double room with James Roche.

Roche has already talked to the media about how Kavanaugh was a “aggressive and belligerent” drunk, and several other people who knew Kavanaugh in high school and college have contradicted his claim that he never drank so much that he had a memory lapse.

Winter, too, recalls Kavanaugh’s excessive drinking, remembering Kavanaugh and his friends as “loud, obnoxious frat boy-like drunks.”

“There was a lot of vomit in the bathroom. No one ever cleaned it up. It was disgusting. It wasn’t incidental. It wasn’t, ‘Oh, this weekend someone puked in the bathroom.’ People were constantly puking in the bathroom. Constantly.”

In an interview with The Cut, Winter describes an incident involving a dead pigeon that he found nailed to his door – the door to his room, not the outside door to the suite.

“I interpreted it as an act of social hostility slash terrorism,” Winter said. “I thought it was a very clear message. ‘We don’t like you, and we don’t want you here.’ I didn’t know who it was who didn’t want me here. I didn’t know who had done it.”

Several of his friends at the time corroborated that a bird was nailed to the door, although no one knew who did it.

“I remember that Kit was really unhappy with his roommates,” said Lori Adams, a retired psychiatrist who was Winter’s friend at Yale.

“They were jocks and Kit was an out gay man with peroxide blond hair. He was uncomfortable there. And he didn’t spend much time there.”

Winter didn’t report the dead bird to the police and he didn’t ask to change rooms, since he had already asked the dean to move him into the empty single-person room in the suite.

“I think my general response was, screw you,” Winter said. “I’m not going anywhere.”

Winter also doesn’t buy Kavanaugh’s claim that he did not drink excessively.

“Having witnessed the level of drunkenness of Brett and his crew in that dorm, and the vomitous aftermath in the bathroom, I find that very hard to believe,” that he never had memory lapses while drinking, Winter said.

“I was not a blackout drinker, but there’s tons of stuff I don’t remember because I was drinking a lot, frequently. Anybody who drank a lot in college and can stand up 35 years later and say, ‘I am sure that did not happen’ inherently lacks credibility to me.”

You have to have a room temp iq to buy this shit.

On twitter Avenatti claimed today he is going to out Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz's Russian ties. Hope he's not just bullshitting.

Exactly when has he ever made something up, R431?

Avenatti's late comer for Kavanaugh seems like it could be hype.

OregonLive.com uncovered a previous sexual harassment claim by Avenatti's client in 2000. The company she worked for sued her for falsifying her resume and for sexually harassing employees, and she sued the company back for sexual harassment.

[quote] The suit also alleges Swetnick "engaged in unwelcome, sexually offensive conduct" while at Webtrends and "made false and retaliatory allegations that other co-workers had engaged in inappropriate conduct toward her."

[quote] "This lawsuit never had any merit as evidenced by how quickly it was dismissed," Avenatti wrote. "It was originally filed in retaliation for my client making claims against the company."

Swetnick will be Avenatti's downfall.

R435, Swetnick ALSO wrote her statement “under threat of felony” as Kavanaugh and the GOP called it.

Why should her statement be considered any less believable than the others ?

Yeah, we've already covered that, R435. The lawsuit was withdrawn and was dismissed "with prejudice," which means that the case could not subsequently be refiled (and usually means that the case lacked merit).

So far Avenatti seems to vet c ompetently.

No it doesn't r437.

Are you for real?

Everytime a case settles it is voluntarily dismissed with prejudice.

That web analytics company is still in business today. Hard to believe it was run by lunatics who file false charges against an employee.

Sorry, R439, but you're simply wrong. Cases are withdrawn all the time both with and without prejudice. And given what we know of this case, it was likely filed because of what they feared Swetnick was going to do, a proactive response to make her think twice about challenging them.

Cases are withdrawn all the time yes, but that doesn't mean they are "bogus" - it means they were resolved.

wow, R439 is retarded. You are so wrong. The judge will tell you when he/she dismisses the case whether it is with or without prejudice.

"...Avenatti..."

R431, I hope he has REALLY good security.

There were many lessons to learn from this Kavanuagh tragedy (I firmly believe now he will be confirmed). One of them is this.

I really hope Democrats and liberal media outlets never give Avenatti the time of day again. It became very clear that this guy took advantage of our desperation to bring down a despicable and yet inevitable feeling nominee by presenting an accuser whose accusations changed and all but collapsed within the span of a few days. Hell, no one knows what Swetnick's claim exactly is, including herself. Avenatti wanted attention and I do believe the Swetnick tainted the credibility of Ford and Ramirez which is the worst part for me.

I do have to believe Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell are now pissed they entertained this guy as having serious smoking gun information.

We can hate Trump. We can know he and Kavanaugh have sexually assaulted women. And we can also know Avenatti is a charlatan who has jumped on the anti-Trump bandwagon for his own interests, and no one else.

I love how he brings up the "$130,000 payment" every five seconds in an interview. lol

Everyone should have known what an attention whore he was when he turned up at the VMAs.

[quote] I do have to believe Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell are now pissed they entertained this guy as having serious smoking gun information.

At least they can always fall back on Tom Arnold.

Well that one sure went over like a lead balloon.

Avenatti got what he needed out of it. Trump and some Senators are now tweeting about him. That insures that his name stays in the news. His tweets are getting more antagonizing as well. He knows this is how Trump won. His big hope is for a full on public feud with Trump

Who is paying Avenatti ? Lawyers don't work for free.

[quote]Who is paying Avenatti ?

Someone who wants the Dems to lose 2020.

BS ...

If you are a go-to person on The View, assume that person is an idiot.

Definitely not getting paid from his Law Firm. A bankruptcy judge has ordered a freeze on all of his assets he gets from legal work.

Michael Avenatti Issues a Direct Challenge to Brett Kavanaugh

Julie Swetnick‘s attorney Michael Avenatti issued a challenge to Brett Kavanaugh on Friday: if the Supreme Court nominee is so adamant in his claim that sexual misconduct allegations against him are false, he should sue.

“If Brett Kavanaugh & his supporters are so convinced that all of the scores of women (including my client) are lying … then he should sue us all-TODAY,” Avenatti said in a tweet.

R454 he knows that will never happen in a million years. He's just trying to make sure his name gets in the news again.

It's Avenatti who should sue. Why didn't he file a sexual assault civil case against BK in Maryland last week? That move would have put BK's nomination to rest one would think.

R456 because his client never alleged that Kavanaugh assaulted her.

Welp. That didn't work out

[quote]I really hope Democrats and liberal media outlets never give Avenatti the time of day again.

Are you kinding? Democrats are pathetic with their celebrity loving bullshit. They will coddle him just like they did Bernie even after he blows up in their faces.

[quote] Avenatti wanted attention and I do believe the Swetnick tainted the credibility of Ford and Ramirez which is the worst part for me.

This, and allowed the GOP to have a credible claim that the Dems were throwing false charges at Kavanagh.

Remember too that there is a huge difference between what Ford and Ramirez claimed he did and Swetnick's charge that he organized gang rapes consistently throughout high school.

Right from the start that one sounded like BS to me because it was so over the top.

Did Michael Avenatti help doom the case against Brett Kavanaugh?

The idea of Michael Avenatti running for president seemed ridiculous to most observers at the start. Gradually, it has seemed perhaps less so. If Democrats want to fight fire with fire, after all, they could probably do worse than Stormy Daniels’s lawyer. Avenatti did play a major role in eventually getting Michael Cohen to implicate President Trump in a federal crime.

Avenatti’s latest major turn in the political spotlight, though, hasn’t gone so well.

With Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh having just secured the 50th and 51st votes to assure his confirmation, attention has turned to Avenatti’s role in the failed effort. After the media unearthed and vetted accusations by Kavanaugh’s first two accusers, Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, Avenatti decided to skip the middle man with a third.

Avenatti is a Sleasy. He lied, he never had anything. You know, we worked our asses off to buy more time too. We did this so that Senators could meet with women health organizations and their constituents, about Kavanaugh's record, his temperament and about Dr. Ford traumatizing experience.

Avenatti FUCK OFF.

Collins called the Swetnick allegation "outlandish" and Kennedy said "this process changed dramatically when Mr. Avenatti entered the picture." Michael Avenatti provided cover for Republicans to confirm Kavanaugh.

Why don’t Kavanaugh’s female victims file a criminal charge against him? He’d have to be arrested and mugshot taken.

Not sure what is happening. A guy writes an opinion piece about Avenatti.

Instead of laying blame at the feet of the republicans who voted for this shit fest, we are sagely nodding our heads. "Yes this is Avenatti's fault. An opinion writer told me it was."

Ok

Avenatti is now claiming he's going to sue her ex-boyfriend:

Just spoke to @MichaelAvenatti. He says he still may pursue criminal and civil charges related to Julie Swetnick allegation.

Asked for specifics, he'll say only they're "most certainly going to file a defamation lawsuit against Doug Ketterer."

Avenatti has destroyed any chance he had at political office.

No one agrees with you Konstantin @ r467.

Good. Avenatti should butt out of politics.

He deserves this comeuppance. I can’t stand this narcissistic blowhard.

Avenatti is gone, after this. He had nothing. What a fucking sleazy ball!

I never liked him and I could absolutely not understand the hype about him on DL. To me he always seemed like a sleazy famewhore.

Now it turns out he is a totally stupid and ineffective attorney as well. I hope he goes away. Let Mueller deal with Trump and not some greedy asshole who is mostly in this game for himself.

Of course Brettski is not Avenatti's fault.

But he certainly did not help the cause. WTF was he thinking? Unless you have really strong evidence for something as outrageous and incredulous as "organized multiple gang rapes while in high school" you're not helping.

[quote]WTF was he thinking?

He was thinking about getting more airtime.

For him, it's really all about that at this point isn't it?

R462 seems very ESL. “Avenatti is a Sleasy?” Lol!

Who is paying Avenatti for all his time?

R467 He surely must get paid for his TV appearances. And he's on TV all the time.
