I was just trying to figure out whether he broke the law by drinking in a bar in 1985 in Connecticut.
That's all.
We all know he perjured himself like 20 times or more last Thursday. That's not a youthful 'indiscretion'.

That's all.

My reasoning was that - 1) it's a bit different having a couple beers underage and getting into a bar brawl while underage, and 2) fuck it, bury him whatever way imaginable.
I was wrong regardless, so...
Your map really doesn't matter as it wasn't legal for him to drink even 3.2 beer when he was 17.
The issue isnt "how big of a deal it was" to be drinking at 17, it's that's he openly lying about it.
Again, we were talking about the bar incident in college. We all know he was drinking illegally in high school.
If anyone here thinks I'm a Kavanaugh defender you have misread me greatly. I don't just want his confirmation to implode, I want him impeached and removed from the judiciary.
This probably happened at Yale, so what was the drinking age in MA?
I don't mean to jump on either of you. I just feel that the whole drinking age thing was SUCH AN EASY FUCKING LAYUP for him and his team to simply say, OH HI YEAH I DID I WAS YOUNG AND STUPID. Like any other ordinary person, instead of putting up this facade of a Choirboy.
Ari Melber was the first and most consistent journalist to call out Comey for his public statement on Clinton, right from the start. But, different strokes I guess.
One of the real tragedies thanks to Kavanaugh is that he killed the one of the best titles we've ever had across two forums.
I finally named a thread and it was gone in moments. Such is 2018.
We figured it out above. He was legal to drink in CT bars when this happened. Unlike his high school drinking, and unlike all his perjuries.
Sounds like he was drunk and disorderly though, which is illegal practically everywhere but rarely enforced against children of privilege.
Totally agreed. Hell, I think he could have even gone so far as to say, "I made a lot of mistakes as a young man, as any young person does. And some of those mistakes wouldn't have been considered a problem in those times. But I did not (commit assault/sexually harm someone/whathaveyou".
Like, it's not hard to manipulate people but it does involve sometimes swallowing some pride. But these motherfuckers are basically comprised of pride, racism, sexism, and air.
I'm still 60% no confirmation at this point. Although that NYTimes bar fight story might have me twitching towards 65%.
Yeah...I don't believe Kramer just so happened to jump to ten points in that amount of time. A few points? Sure. Ten? Nah.
Wait, so he thought he was starting a fight with the lead singer from UB40? Wow.
I guess that explains the Clinton conspiracy theory. Dude is just addled.

Again, in one week nobody will be talking about this.
EVERYTHING TRUMP IS INVOLVED WITH IT SHIT
I was listening to NPR today about the goings on behind the scenes at the Dept of Energy and Commerce.

No, it was after he realized the guy wasn't. Brett "I like beer. I still like beer" Kavynaw would never disrespect the venerable....Ali Campbell. Or Robin Campbell? I don't know much about UB40.
Seriously though, all the rapes are a bit more concerning than starting drunken bar brawls over cases of mistaken drunken identity. Drunk.
The laws here make it hard to poll. I... find it hard to believe that Heidi is down that much. Cramer is basically a bowl of mayonnaise who has said he would just lick Trump's boots whenever he asked. I find it hard to believe that would go over well in this state... but hey, maybe I'll be super fucking disappointed by the electorate. Wouldn't be the first or last time.
It's a bit off, but ND is R+33 sooooo.
538 still has Heitkamp at 55-44
No.
So later in the questioning he sort of changed his answer?
It depends on the content of the texts he was sending to people whether or not that additional information makes it any better.
That's because it looks like Avenatti laid an egg. After the segment aired on Ari Melber's show, the rest of the MSNBC hosts have been barely talking about Swetnick. There are a lot of inconsistencies with her story and it doesn't look good that the 4 witnesses NBC was told to talk to, 1 one of them denied knowing anything, 1 was dead, and 2 they haven't been able to reach. Definitely doesn't help her credibility since these were the witnesses her and Avenatti provided.
Ironically 5 days ago Ramirez's allegations looked like the weakest of the three. But it turns out it might be the one that brings down Kavanaugh. This is huge that Kavanaugh had been working directly behind the scenes to squash the Ramirez's allegations well before the rest of the public was even aware about it. He's fully acting like an erratic political creature rather than a steady judge.
In the late 80s a Supreme Court Justice nomination had to be pulled because he once smoked pot. Kavanaugh is a certified aggressive drunk who may have assaulted at least 2 women. He's also a habitual liar. Even if he didn't commit the sexual assaults, he amassed a laundry list of misleading or false statements from the hearing on Thursday under oath. Kavanaugh is so tainted. If it's definitive that Kav was working behind the scenes to squash the Ramirez story, possibly leaning on witnesses and the lying about the drinking might be enough to sink him. That's all kinds of shady. Sure McConnell, Hatch, or Graham would vote for him in a heartbeat, but I think it would be too much dirty for Flake, Collins, and Manchin to swallow.
This is off the current thread a bit, but Alex Trebek is moderating the PA gubernatorial debate right now.
