President Donald Trump on Tuesday hinted that it would be “unacceptable” if it were found that Brett Kavanaugh lied to Congress in his testimony about allegations of sexual assault last week.

1. I'm glad he's the arbiter on that subject. NT

[DeminPennswoods]

2. Again shows how little Trump is "invested" in Kavanaugh

If Kavanaugh fails McGahn and McConnell are the fall guys in waiting.

[Different Drummer]

3. Well, he lied at least twice in his testimony.

He was not truthful about the respective meanings of "boofing" and "Devil's Triangle." So, does that make him unacceptable to Dolt a L'Orange?

[Turbineguy]

6. The trump administration

one should be sound in the vernacular.

That would be a primary consideration.

[WePurrsevere]

4. Of course, we all know how much he hates competition. nt

7. LOL! eom

[crazytown]

19. Ha

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Kavanaugh is already proven to have lied to Congress about his work in Bush regime. . . nt

[jaysunb]

8. Trump knows he lied.

The Trump admin aided and abetted the lies with coaching they full well knew would come up.

I've got a sneaking suspicion, given some of Trumps latest statements, the bus is waiting.

9. WOW

[dalton99a]

10. Waiting for the engine to warm up

[drmeow]

11. Hmm - saving face?

So, my first reaction was Bullshit - Trump doesn't give a f**k about Kavanaugh lying to Congress.

However, this gives him an out.

[Racerdog1]

12. Really?

The orange plague lying to the people of this country is unacceptable. You are FIRED!

[Marie Marie]

13. ...

[PSPS]

14. This means trump is planning to scrape him off (after blaming his selection on others, of course.)

[truthisfreedom]

15. Too late then. Boofing is not flatulence. Devil's triangle is not a drinking game.

He’s a fucking liar.

[Honeycombe8]

16. Apparently he doesn't think Kavanaugh has lied, thus far. And so the Trump method continues....

say anything to APPEAR a certain way. The suckers will believe anything. (Then do whatever you want!)

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

17. Yeah, whatever. Can't believe anything a liar like Trump says. n/t

[uppityperson]

18. "If"?????
