Anyone notice the constant whining from turtleneck about how the Democrats tried to

ruin Brett Kavanaugh's reputation? I've heard it several times now on various videos.

While I was getting dressed today, a thought struck me: My husband has a Bachelor's Degree and 2 Master's Degrees. That's a lot of school and a lot of opportunity for him to mess up. Yet, there is nothing anyone could ever say about him that would come close to ruining his reputation. Why? He kept his nose clean. His behavior was above reproach. There were no drunken frat parties when maybe-he-did-maybe-he-didn't shit could have occurred. None.

If he were to be nominated for the SC, you would find people who either didn't know him or who had nothing bad or questionable or unseemly to say about him. No "benefit of the doubt" situations. I actually have never met anyone who didn't like him. And he was never in a situation where a woman could make the accusations made against Kavanaugh.

Most of the men I know are like this. So how the ever loving fuck could they not have found one of them, or someone like them? Why go for the perv in every situation? Why go for the one who has demonstrated poor judgment and chalk it up to "youthful indiscretion" when so many people in their youth don't do that shit?

Mr. Fields said 'You can't cheat an honest man,' and by the same token, you can't ruin a deserved reputation.

And if this closed minded, thimble-headed, unqualified handmaiden of a woman is pushed through by blinded-by-power Republican anti-democracy schmuck men - the court will have two jesters performing daily.

8. Well that's fair. I hate to see Justice Thomas left out of the evil dumb dumb judge contest.

He works so hard to be the silent flower on the wall over the the court,... when he has not dozed off to take a nap.
