unfortunately, the fbi investigation is a complete sham, given the restrictions the WH has put on it.

The more I read about it, asking for an FBI investigation in general seems like a sham, period. I think he should be confirmed, and they can try to impeach him, call for an actual investigation... instead of these half-steps... because the point there is just to delay... they were happy, nodding in agreement about the one-week investigation when it was asked for... and now they're unhappy and say it should be indefinite. The point is to delay, not to find the truth... There is no statue of limitations in MD for sexual assault, which I did not know having lived there nearly a decade ... that is where my husband was raised... so she could've reported it to the police at any time and opened up an investigation... the reason they did it this way was for a political reason... little to do with actual justice... BTW, maybe unrelated, but MD is very very blue and the culture there is progressive by default... so it's not like the local politics would've kept her from being able to file a suit/criminal case... she would've had a lot of backing there. More conservative POVs are not very welcome there... and her being a psychology professor and acting as she did not know the best way interview assault victims (i.e. what would've helped them to give a recall in a helpful manner, etc)... that's a red flag... when it was her field, psychological research... there are inconsistencies in her testimony as well, but you know... that's just how the cookie crumbles... these are not perfect human beings and anyone who is put under this much scrutiny is going to show cracks... that's anyone... so it doesn't really mean she is lying, or that he is guilty... in my view... I think the questions about alcohol and how much he drank too were leading... that wouldn't have flown in an actual court... he didn't have a lawyer objecting to several of those questions, he represented himself... I prefer that he was upfront and said "That question is BS", than a lawyer to sit there and go like "nope..." ... both refused to answer the question(s) given when they suspected the reasoning was more politically-motivated... The only solution is a real trial/investigation... the FBI anyway has shown to have political bias in recent years, so it's probably better for them to file a criminal case in MD... which some congress folk have I think? But again, this can happen even if he is accepted... but the paranoia/scrutiny that they have for him being angry on the stand is a bit ridiculous, considering that most of our politics, since this hearing was basically all about that... Edit: Kept adding stuff as thoughts kept streaming in... because you know ... Last edited by Maru; 30-09-2018 at 08:41 PM. |

Incidentally ... google those two 'terms' he wrote on his calendar:diary ... He said under oath that Devil's Triangle was a drinking game yet it appears to be a sex act involving two males and one female , then he said a BOOF was a term for 'flatulence' and yet it appears to be a reference to anal sex !! Why would he put an entry for farting on a calendar ?? All sounds very ominous .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by Zizu; 30-09-2018 at 09:02 PM. |

People are citing urban dictionary for these terms, and I looked at that for that reference, but it's not like there was an urban dictionary in the 80's... there's other definitions for Devil's Triangle as well... Google isn't very good for searching much older cultural references/terms, sadly... unless there is some modern reinterpretation/resurgence of it, it's harder to find the older stuff... and so I'm reliant on memory for a lot and I can only re-research something I ran into in my childhood if I either found a person discussing it (and using a term/tag I could research to get to it in a round-about way)... Probably in a few decades, depending on what does/doesn't stay online, it will be more helpful... but not for things like that... there's also a lot of local urban legends/phrases/references here, they almost never make their way online... I maybe find them in odd places... I grew up in a very old part of Houston, so it's sort of a side interest... |

Devils Triangle
A threesome between two men and one woman. Also a made-up drinking game by Brett Kavanaugh as a way to lie to gullible senators and try to get onto the Supreme Court. https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...riangle&page=3 |

this protest thing at the elevator has been a reason to delay the supreme court vote was on CNN last night some female CNN host she said ''women do make fake stories like these up all the time'' well i was like i don't think they are making these stories up but yeah it is suspicious that they reveal this now at the time of the supreme court vote where Kavanaugh was a favourite to become new supreme court Judge, and also bringing something up what happened 34 years ago

Yes I watched it Live as some Channels went split screen He should have walked out the lift and gone back, Standing there in front of 4 TV live cameras made it far worse. That Lady stopped the doors closing No security helped him. Last edited by arista; 01-10-2018 at 09:17 AM. |

also the girl standing next to the senator, she kept pushing the elevator close button, and eventually she was standing behind senator flake checking something on her mobile Phone, probably was feeling awkward with that protest lady stopping the doors from closing

Soooo why would he put an entry on his calendar for a 'fart' Surely he's more likely to make a diary note of him having 'back door sex' than if he 'farted' ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

So... Brett Kavanagh's confirmation is all but sealed after senators backed him. This means he will be able to shape legislation in the USA for decades to come.
Good job he's not an actor, eh? His career would be OVER. Last edited by Livia; 06-10-2018 at 09:12 AM. |

Neither has Kevin Spacey.
And I'm not suggesting Kavanagh goes to jail unless he IS found guilty... I'm suggesting he is not invited to take part in making the law. Last edited by Livia; 06-10-2018 at 09:25 AM. |
