LIVE THREAD>>>Judicial Hearing

[Axeslinger]

Here’s what I’d like to know, so did she date Squi before, during or after the alleged attack?

Why?

If she dated him before, why was she still hanging out with them (this is the only scenarios that makes ANY sense.

If she was dating Squi at the time of the attack, we are to believe that Kavanaugh and Judge attempted to rape their friend’s girlfriend...WHILE HE WAS THERE?  Anyone who believes that has not spent much time around human males.

If she dated him after the incident, why would she decide to start dating a guy who was close friend with the alleged assailants?

[XenaLee]

Agreed.  That republicans have not yet acknowledged that - the *fact* that democrats, liberals, progressives are not dealing honestly and will never deal honestly - indicates that republicans are at best naive.  It's long past time to stop trying to "reach across the aisle" and "find common ground."  It's long past time that republicans struck to create an advantage and then maintained that initiative.

I didn't support Trump during the nominating contest and I'm still not a Trump supporter, although I can support some of the policies his administration has pursued.  But for establishment republicans to not see that their rank and file are fed up with being played like fools is just incomprehensible.  Trump won the nomination because the republican base is angry, and he embodied that anger.

No matter the outcome of any additional investigations, the democrats will argue it against Kavanaugh.  Republicans need to acknowledge this and stop offering deals.  People like Flake, Collins, and Murkowski should be primaried *by the party* to end this nonsense.

In speaking about the Bible, I would not forget that one forum member said, what Trump said about Cruz was unforgivable.

But we are talking about the Bible. Mine says to forget. If Trump were not president, there would be no Kavanaugh nominee.

What else may we deem unforgivable? @mrpotatohead  Perhaps, we should remember, some forum member's view, I forget who, would have precluded even the nomination.

[Idiot]

I guess, if one were Catholic too, they could say they have a personal bond to the situation as the Kavanaughs are of that faith.  But I don't tend to make it about me. @mrpotatohead  I believe one member here, made an assertion in the past about Trump's treatment of Cruz being "unforgivable. So, let's not forget, without Trump as president, Kavanaugh would not have been nominated.

I'll never forget what Trump said about Cruz.  That was HORRIBLE!  Cruz forgave him...so I did as well.  I didn't vote for Trump, but have been pleasantly pleased as to what he's done to this point.

In addition she says that the polygraph took a really long time and yet the person who administered the test only asked her two questions.

Can anyone explain to me how this works. The polygraphs I have undergone required a number of base line questions, depending on the operator  or the reason any between 5-10. two questions is not enough to set a baseline much less determine veracity with any level of confidence.

@verga

Your experience applies to tests trying to get at the truth.  This one was anything but!

[TomSea]

That Psalm 40 has a personal bond to me. I voted for Trump in the election and was not putting him down as a Never Trumper, without Trump as president, most of us would have no idea who Brett kavanaugh is.

That's how it's been for me as well.  They set the baseline then they have a series of questions that are asked specific to the case.

All they asked her was two very softball questions and they were done.

Makes no sense at all.

[txradioguy]

@Sanguine yup that's all it was.

The questions were 1) did you lie about the incident and 2) is anything in your statement false?

And that was it.

[Sanguine]

About as credible as the accuser herself.

If Trump were not president, there would be no Kavanaugh nominee.

If Ted Cruz hadn't put Kavanaugh's name on the list of names that Trump is choosing from, there would be no Kavanaugh nominee.

[txradioguy]

Exactly.

Kavanaugh was already on Mitt Romney's list in 2012.

Trump Wins Ted Cruz's Vote With Supreme Court List
Todd Ruger

Updated 5:15 p.m. | Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s endorsement of Donald Trump came only hours after the Republican presidential nominee had put his friend and colleague Utah Sen. Mike Lee on a list of potential Supreme Court picks.

And even though Lee had expressed disinterest in being included on Trump’s list Friday, the potential court pick was a central part of Cruz’s reasoning for changing gears and backing Trump.

In a Facebook post, Cruz said the Supreme Court hangs in the balance in the election. He said Lee “would make an extraordinary justice” and cited Trump’s “explicit commitment” to nominate only from “a very strong” list of 21 potential nominees.

https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/trump-court-lee

I find nothing that says Ted Cruz put Kavanaugh's name on the list of nominees for Trump.

[TomSea]

I see nothing that Cruz put Kavanaugh's name on a list of jurists for Trump, maybe he did for Romney, he endorsed Romney. Until there is backup, I will think otherwise.

We know Ted Cruz invented the Constitution and the idea for a borderwall, but I would like to see backup for this.

We have 2 people who are known to make anti-Trump statements saying this.

Again, it's easy to see Kavanaugh was already on Romney's list in 2012.  No problem finding backup on that.

If anything Kavanaugh could call up the name of Bush 43, who the other day, urged Kavanaugh's nomination. That is where there is a clear connection.

[TomSea]

Exactly.

Prove it.

[txradioguy]

Prove it.

Gee you sound just like a Democratic senator.

I didn't make the claim...ask @Hoodat he's the one that made the claim.

Personal attack noted.

There is apparently no backup for this claim. Sorry, that you want this forum to discuss matters dishonestly.  Or the original poster may just have been making an attempt at humor.

[txradioguy]

Personal attack noted.

That wasn't a personal attack.  But hey whatever snowflake.

There is apparently no backup for this claim. Sorry, that you want this forum to discuss matters dishonestly.

That's pretty hypocritical coming from the guy that posted that crap about Cruz a few posts back.  You're just upset because I called you on it. 

YOU are the one that likes to "to discuss matters dishonestly" and you have a long documented history of it.

Now focus and try to stay on topic and don't go off on one of your unrelated totally whimsical Ted Cruz rants.

[Hoodat]

Prove it.

Kavanaugh's name did not appear on Trump's original list of 11 nor on his expanded list of 21.  It was long after the election (after meetings with Cruz) that Kavanaugh's name was added.

The ten September 2016 additions (including Mike Lee) may have won Cruz's support in November.  But Cruz's influence after the election is what gave us Kavanaugh.

Trump's original eleven:

• Steven Colloton
• Allison Eid
• Raymond Gruender
• Thomas Hardiman
• Raymond Kethledge
• Joan Larsen
• Thomas Lee
• William Pryor
• David Stras
• Diane Sykes
• Don Willett

Here we are two years after the Republican National Convention, yet there are people on this forum who still show contempt for Ted Cruz and the Conservatism he upholds.

There are clearly a number of non-Conservatives on this forum.
