      Agreed on these points. And largely unnecessary. But even before this came up, BK seems to lie a lot. The stuff with the Manny Miranda hacking scandal is what really stood out to me. Aside from denying the central accusations, he’s even more obviously lying about the...https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1044815676454653952 …

      9. As I've suggested before, the smart play for Kavanaugh would be to not pretend to be Teen Squeaky Clean but to be forthright about his past. The GOP is inclined to take "boys will be boys" attitude anyways. So the lies seem weirdly unnecessary.

      2/ ‘Renate alumni’ stuff. His claim there is transparent bs. It’s obvious he and his crew had some sort of slut shaming thing with this then-girl. He lies so routinely that it really extinguishes whatever small doubt I might have that Ford’s accusation cod be wrong or ...

      3/ that the incident was somehow remembered radically different y the two people. He just seems to lie routinely. That sounds like a jaundiced take. But I think it’s really hard to deny. And that means that his flat denials of these incidents are meaningless.

      He really is a shameless, habitual liar. It's very strange. I guess appropriate that Trump picked him.

          He picked the guy most like him - gushingly sycophantic to patrons, desperate for male approval, instinctual willingness to say a Big Lie when a small one will do etc.

          1/ Really: think about what it's like to have a serious drinking problem. You have to hide it. That in itself means that you get used to the idea that who you seem to be and who you are are different.

          2/ But there's so much to hide. So much evidence to be explained away. So many hours gone. You need to lie about it all. And so often, the only person who finds your lies convincing is you. No one else is taken in.

          I’d like to one of the Senators to ask him what he meant by Devil’s Triangle in his yearbook. Seems pretty relevant now that he’s claimed he was a virgin in high school and he’s accused of trying to have sex with a girl while another boy was present https://www.dailykos.com/story/2018/9/19/1797081/-Kavanaugh-Yearbook-Boasts-Devil-s-Triangle-slang-for-Threesome-Between-Two-Men-and-One-Woman …pic.twitter.com/PVLKkHax5I

          For someone who lies all the time, he remains remarkably bad at it. He can't stop squirming.

          Since he's apparently never been held accountable for his lies, he's never had to get any better at it.
