    Do you think it should be investigated by the FBI. They do that quite often. Are you concerned that Kavanaugh is of the mindset a president is above the law?

    I would guess that to a degree it has been done several times over his career. When you stand back at a glance it looks like an act of political desperation on behalf of the Dems. If it requires and investigation by whoever I'm good with that as long as there is credible reason too. I don't care about Monday but if it appears its being used only to delay the process then that is wrong.
    Hell no I don't look at Kavanaugh as the same mindset as Trump. Sure they are both conservative but that suppose to be ok, isn't it?

    When Ted Kennedy had his bridge accident I was a democrat and thought he virtually got a way with at the very least, involuntary manslaughter. I knew a guy in high school that was drunk got in a wreck and a young girl was killed. He spend time in jail and ended up with a manslaughter charge.

    It seems amazing to me that women actually still support him. Not that there aren't women who feel that some women make up accusations like this (I'm sure it does happen, but I doubt it happens nearly as much as the right wants to imply)...but seriously, the guy basically endorsed an accused child molester, he himself talks about sexually assaulting women, and now this?

    You know, person on this planet who I shall not name, I grow weary whenever you call someone "a fine man" ... you've been wrong so many times before.

    You misunderstood part of my post. My mindset comment wasn't comparing Trump and Kavanaugh although there seems to be more similarities than not, but instead was a reference that Kavanaugh believes a president shouldn't be indicted or investigated if they commit a crime. In other words, he feels a president is above the law. A dangerous mindset considering the type of person Trump is.

    So let's see if I'm understanding this correctly, she was assaulted, but it wasn't Kavanaugh but someone who looked like him?

    If I was to hear him actually say that in the right context, sure it would bother me. The problem is so much of what is said anymore that come's from partisan politicians and/or media spinning in out of context.
    If I hear trump on tape making crude remarks about ladies (I still call them ladies) I know he said it and the context he said it in. Guilty
    When I heard Clinton on tape tell Wall Streeter's she advocates open boarder society, I know she said it and ten context she said it in. Guilty

    Politicians have always said one thing and done other things to appease their base.
    I don't think there are that many similarities at all between Trump and Kavanaugh but maybe there is. I know they both are conservatives at least Kavanaugh seems to be.
    If Clinton was our President she would be entitled to nominate whomever she liked. Im good with that.

    This deal with Kav in all honesty to me looks like a very desperate play on the democrats. Id say the same thing if the roles were reversed.

    ...can't believe that Trump actually had the gall to say "Facts don’t matter" when referring to someone else...how hypocritical is that?

    Whatever degenerative brain disease Trump has, apparently it is highly contagious and every Republican has caught it.

    I have friends that are republicans and I would never accuse them of having a brain disease. I have friends that are democrats and I don't see no brain disease in them. WOW
