The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

Numero tres. Though I thought the second one with the truth or dare **** was whack.

Probably a photo of her once with a margarita. It means nothing in either direction in regards to the story as it's PR 101.

There are some problems with Swetnick's story as well, but I'd like to see an investigation there too because I don't think we have all the facts.

You see problems with Kavanaugh's story?

I don't see "as" many issues with his story compared to Ford's. He's had his background looked into on multiple occasions. Common sense would dictate that he wouldn't have ever gotten this far if the FBI had gotten even a whiff of this stuff before since he was a fairly high profile figure even during the Bush years.

What would you like to be done differently?

Rhode Island only gets one senator. Then the vote could never be a tie.

Problem is that Ford came forward and now those "girls" from his past are calling his BS that he testified to yesterday about his HS, and college party days. In the last day two women who knew him well back then went on TV (both from elite prep schools and both not needing the maelstrom) to say he was a very sloppy drunk who puked and passed out often. They are both willing to be interviewed by the FBI as part of the re-opened investigation.

BK, under oath, in front of the senate judiciary committee, stated he always maintained control while drinking his beloved "beers". Both women said this tipped the scales for them saying someone who could lie under oath about drinking, couldn't be trusted about lying about far more important things, and didn't deserve a seat on the highest court in the land.

FBI is going to gather as much of this as possible and then confront his good buddy Mike with the sworn testimony.

Judge's plea deal is coming folks. Full immunity if he's willing to spill the beans about the Ford episode.

Guess we'll just have to see what happens. I still don't get how someone can be investigated by the FBI multiple times (considering how many people they talk to) and literally nothing about any of this popped up anywhere. Think about his time with Ken Starr and that whole circus. Someone bringing this stuff up would have made a major uproar considering the case they were making against Clinton at the time.

1 I'm fairly liberal for your stupid ass accusations on liberals never using it.

2 It perfectly applies to people who pretend to give a **** or have a moral code for social purposes. Doesn't mean what they said is wrong, just that they as a person are fake. And you know damn well people do this.

Edit: I guess that wouldn't be virtue signaling since signaling a virtue doesn't necessarily mean you are a fraud.
