LMAO. When in doubt, play the virgin, lol. You just KNOW that "I was a virgin all through high school and college" bit is gonna come back to bite him hard on the ass. Yet, according to that one article from, I think, WaPo, Kavanaugh himself buckled when they asked him explicit sexual questions while preparing him for committee. Brett Kavanaugh: he can dish it out, but like hell he can take it.

Yep, it's become a [!@#$%^&*] show. But, like I said before, what goes around, comes around. Bill Clinton might have been guilty of the things they accused him of, but Kavanaugh and everyone else on Starr's team was too damn eager to try and take him down. And the biggest irony of all...? Regardless of whether he's ultimately impeached, Trump, at this moment, is closer to being given the gate than old Bill ever was.

Nevermind, my lazy ass googled it for a change, lol. Just what does he think THAT will accomplish? And Fox News? Talk about "preaching to the choir"! Kavanaugh's clearly too afraid to talk to the "East Coast liberal social elite media," so he goes where he KNOWS they won't ask him any real questions. Whatevs, Brett. You effing p***y. (No offense, ladies.)

You think this "smear campaign" hits a "new low," Senator McConnell? Wait 'til they start digging up [!@#$%^&*] on you! The only thing Kavanaugh is standing up for is his own, blasted ego, "pure and simple."

ICAM. And no, I don't feel much sympathy for him. I'm just pointing out the fact that not even his own family's safety is more important to this man than being named to the SCOTUS. Up next: UNICEF!

Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread
Exactly. I'm not suggesting the stories about Barbra Streisand are baseless, but I think it's telling how she (and other actresses) get vilified for the same kind of arrogant behavior that their male counterparts in the industry always get a pass for. If Robert Redford is allowed to act like a jerk because he thinks Arthur Laurents' script makes him look like a wuss, then Streisand should get a pass as well for being overly controlling and demanding.

Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread
Yet, for ages, people have touted him as this sensitive, enlightened type. A "thinking women's sex symbol," if you will. Your job, Mr. Redford, WAS to do something about it. Not just as a celebrity with enormous clout and box office appeal, but as a basic, decent human being. It doesn't matter if it didn't "hit close to home," you still should have done something about it (besides "create an alternative," whatever the hell that means). But you were obviously more concerned with your own damn career than you were with protecting women who were being debased by men you were working with, and for. IOW, Mr. Redford, you were complicit; and so, too, was every other man and woman in H'wood who KNEW what was happening, yet merely looked away. RR doesn't get a pass from me, and he hasn't gotten a pass from me ever since I read about the BTS shenanigans on "The Way We Were" that proved he was just as much the preening diva as Streisand. He's trash, and I hope his retirement after this latest film will be permanent.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
Sorry to hear about her diagnosis. A close family friend is also an MS sufferer. Believe me, it's no day at the park. I'm also sorry she "hated" working on Y&R, but I can't say I blame her for how she feels. Y&R did neither her nor her character any favors.

Let's assume for the moment that individuals have indeed threatened harm against Kavanaugh and his family. Do you mean to tell me that Kavanaugh, the "carpool dad" who coaches his daughter's basketball team, would stay the course, even if it meant subjecting his wife and children to further threats and humiliation? Maybe his family urged him not to withdraw his nomination and that's why he said what he said. That's always possible. But, having lived for thirty-three years with a loving father who would have thrown himself on top a live grenade to protect me and my older brother, I can't see how any husband and father in his situation would think anything was more important than keeping his loved ones out of harm's way. IMO, any other dad would say, "To hell with it, the SCOTUS ain't worth subjecting my kids to this bullshit!" and they'd withdraw. But, maybe that's just me. I was hoping the same thing. These women are about to enter the lion's den. May God have mercy on their souls. "For the time being" being, of course, the operative words. I still think that man's on his way out. And if it doesn't happen after their meeting on Thursday -- between them and Ford/Ramirez's testimonies, it's gonna be a helluva news day -- it'll happen very soon afterward. Forgot to do this earlier, but thanks, you two, for answering my questions!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't someone here (marceline?) point out that even if Trump were to pardon Manafort and Cohen, they would still face charges from NY state, which he couldn't pardon them from? Furthermore, isn't it true that NY would be allowed to use Manafort and Cohen's arranged testimonies as evidence of their guilt?

So, Kavanaugh was allegedly part of a date-rape ring? God. What a shitheel. Thus far, he's been described in all the anecdotes as pitifully drunk (and thus probably unable to become aroused). But, what if, on at least one occasion, he wasn't drunk and/or he was able to penetrate one of his victims anyway? That's what keeps running through my mind about this case. (That, and "Kavanaugh secret child" for some reason.) At some point, I feel that some woman -- maybe it's Avenatti's client, maybe it's someone else -- is going to come forward and say, "No, Brett Kavanaugh did more than try to force my clothes off or make me touch his genitals with my face, he literally held me down, tore off my clothes and came inside me!" (Sorry to be so graphic, by the way.)

Ironically, Kavanaugh worked on the infamous Kenneth Starr's team. The very same team that worked to bring down Bill Clinton with the Monica Lewinsky/Paula Jones controversy. So, like Ratt once said, "what goes around, comes around."

That is so appalling, DD. I don't know what to say, except I'm sorry that you (and other women) had to endure that nightmare. Unfortunately, they do. Another perfect example of people deliberately misinterpreting scripture -- "submitting," in that context, is definitely not what evangelicals say it means -- to support their own, butthead beliefs.

Very. "Trump said this is why they should have been fighting the Ford allegations from the beginning." That might have stopped some women from coming forward, but it wouldn't have stopped them all. "Trump is calm [...] and sticking with Kavanaugh." And here I thought there was no honor among p***y thieves.

Of course, they would want (again) to accelerate. It's no secret the GOP wants him on the SCOTUS before any more fit hits the shan. That way, it won't matter how many come forward, because it'll be too late to do anything about it.

Allegations made by that "Tiger Mom" lady, no less. ICAM, Carl. Before this week is over, I guarantee we'll see the number rise into the double digits. Sexual predators are like me at an all-you-can-eat buffet: they don't stop until management cuts them off.

It seems that Vee (and Mr. Avenatti) would have to agree with you. Let me guess: Brett was "incoherently drunk" when he (allegedly) assaulted Mr. Avenatti's client as well. See, that's the trouble with guys like Brett Kavanaugh. Under "normal" circumstances, they might be fine, upstanding people. But, as soon as they hit the old bottle, it's goodbye Dr. Jekyll, hello Mr. Hyde. I'm sure Mrs. Kavanaugh knows this only too well.
