    If I was traipsed in front of the Senate on bogus charges and forced to answer deeply personal and embarrassing questions about my high school antics, maybe out of embarrassment and anger I might be less than truthful. Would that make me a liar who can't be trusted again? Come on

        What's Kavanaugh's opinion on lying about irrelevant sexual questions under oath? Is there any way for us to know?!

        This is interesting. Experiments have shown that proclivity to lie in one's self-interest is correlated with perception of one's status. Kav's entitled, selfish lie becomes a "blue lie" for lessers in group to show loyalty. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/how-the-science-of-blue-lies-may-explain-trumps-support/ … https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/kavanaugh-is-lying-his-upbringing-explains-why/2018/09/27/2b596314-c270-11e8-b338-a3289f6cb742_story.html?utm_term=.00ed60d5246a …

        "Antics" are things like TP'ing a neighbor's house or yard. The actual behavior in question is one of violation of another's intimate and psychological self.

        Yes. The “bogus charge” thing really says the GOP is cool with perjury. You’re really just kind of an ass, Jeet.

        The "less than truthful" says perjury.
