    Well, I think you would have to show Trump and family was involved. Usually the rich hire people to invest and manage their investments, much like mutual funds. I haven't heard of Trump being brought up on any charges for that.

    we know he was rich by his own stories of buying people tickets and buses to events... normal people can not afford to do that unless they have a lot of mommy and daddy's money - when your rich you can buy friends and favors

    No, sorry. It did not clear him at all. It found what we already knew. There was no corroboration of what Ford alleges. Different duck.

    republicans already changed the rules to only 50 votes required, we did not force them to pick an alleged sexual offender, they choose to do that all on their own, they could of easily choose someone else, they have the votes all on their own after the rule change, supreme court picks from this point forward will always be partisan thanks to republicans - pretty short sighted thinking

    Not sure how that works, but I would think even if having previous family going to Yale and it giving you an advantage, you would still have to have maintained a pretty good grade level to get in. I wouldn't think they would allow an idiot in just because his grandfather went. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Cleared. In this country you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. They had three witnesses and NONE of them could corroberate ANYTHING about ANY of their stories. Not a one.

    I don't disagree with that, especially since McConnell was one of the ones complaining about changing Cabinet positions to majority only back in 2013 and then does the same thing himself for SCOTUS appointments.

    Not cleared at all. He occupies a seat on SCOTUS as person not exonerated and remains someone accused of sexual assault and of lying under oath to get there. He wears that shitstain forever and so does the USA.

    Yes because only a warped liberal mind would equate accusation with automatic guilt. You are no different that the people that ran around rounding up Jews cause Hitler accused them of being thieves and stealing from everyone.

    That what it was, a conspiracy to keep Kavanaugh from taking office. She couldn't name the day, month or even the year it happened. Wasn't sure of the house. Didn't know who took her there or brought her home. Her witnesses know nothing of it ever happening. But we are suppose to believe her?

    Talking of lying under oath, she said she was afraid to fly and then find out she flies all the time. Said she had no idea of who paid for her lie detector test and then see a Dem Congressman slip her lawyer a envelope as soon as she finished testifying. Her old boyfriend said she coached a friend on how to take a lie detector test and never mentioned her saying she was ever molested by anyone.

    No, I have not done that. I have said ~ because there was no corroboration does not, per se, make her accusation false or exonerate Bart O'Kavanaugh.

    I am afraid I might be bitten by a snake. Very scared of that perhaps happening. Yet I still move around where I know there likely will be snakes.

    That's bull ****. They also said they would go there twice and interview her at her home and she said she never got that invitation. The plain fact is. All she did is accuse him of doing it without one shred of proof and there is no doubt for me, the Democrats paid her to do it. All they need is for her to say it happened and you expect the world to believe her without one shred of evidence. Well it worked so well Kavanaugh is now a USSC judge. and the Democrats lost any credibility they had left, which wasn't much.

    So not that afraid of them after all. Not so afraid for example that it would change your behaviour patterns significantly.
    A sort of ambiguity type fear. Vague and undefined.

    Given where I live, snakes are very near at all times. I either stay indoors or go into their territory despite my fear.

    Which means it isn't a debilitating fear. Not a strong fear.
    Perhaps anxiety is a more accurate word.

    So we can clearly judge the strength of your fear of snakes by your willingness to live near them and "go into their territory".
    Actions speak louder than words.

    You said he was unfit simply because he was accused. That is NOT how it works. Once again you are literally not different than Nazis who ran around picking up Jews because Hitler accused them of stuff or people being sent to gulags in Russia because their neighbors accused them of not being patriotic. You are EXACTLY the same as those people and your own words proved it.

    He was accused and he denied it. How on earth is it OK to accept the accusers word as fact but NOT except his denial as fact. The ONLY thing that matters is evidence and they found ABSOLUTELY NONE.
