Or "Bork Off" as the campaign buttons said when I lived near DC in the late 80s...
Kavanaugh got screwed by some latent "Believe All Women*" well poisoning in society. Where the * represents "even women who don't remember anything that supposedly happened".
That said, it's not like we've ever seen Republicans do the "what about?" questioning line, whether it's Obama's birth certificate or Hillary's emails.
Since it was convenient to lump crazies together with people you disagree with so they can become both disagreeable and crazy at the same time.
Mental health in America is at crisis levels.

I get the Obama birth certificates, that annoyed me too for sure. Hillary's emails on the other hand...if I took ONE EMAIL home from one of the classified networks I work on, I'd be fired. Hand down would be stripped of any clearance I had and lose my career. What she got away with was, to quote Ronn, extremely unprecedented.
LoL I forget how old you are

The email thing I couldn’t get. People are stupid with home vs work setups even today. And it passes the Hanlon’s Razor test.
Given how much US telecom companies got caught with their hands in the cookie jar as per Wikileaks and Snowden, any kind of non-State Dept. email would be the worst channel if you wanted to do something nefarious securely because everybody would and could know about it. If there was real dirt in her private emails, it takes nothing to access it from gateways and our investigation officials have every way of getting access.
So yes, maybe using a personal server could be a fireable offense for stupidity. But the way conservatives tried to spotlight it as a smoking gun to the public was a bit like trying to get someone excited about Capitol Hill parking tickets and framing her as a serial felon for it.
These are some really cool statistics:

It is almost never said: immigrants make some of the best “model” Americans.
I’m flattered, but also not much of a Christian guy. But I completely identify with the reductionist reference — the temptation to reduce people to their worst soundbyte taken out of context. Or even their most heroic acts. People are a lot more than those gross oversimplifications.
What’s interesting is I read all the headlines about that professor and saw exactly what he saw. But I also did not see the details he highlighted. In that sense, that professor represents so many people - from the irritated guy who yells a racist slur in a restaurant to the reporter caught tripping migrants in Hungary to the BLM protestor who tore down a fence at a building.
Something like Twitter is so overloaded with information, it contributes to a react-react-react siege mentality while discouraging any slowdown for thoughtfulness, contemplation, or listening.
We are all training ourselves to be computerized machine learning sorting algorithms, treating people like bits that must be shuffled into this categorization bucket or that one. Before moving on to the next. And the more we have constant and voluminous access to news, information, and the mundane incivilities of life, the faster we need to respond and the less we have to think. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Nice to see a rare article like that. It’s important to pause and to find the humanity in someone we know we might otherwise reactively disagree with and label before a pin can drop to the ground.

I wish we could have a modern, working voting system. Also, fuck him.

And on a completely unrelated American topic, how many here are getting seeds from China in the postal mail??
