    emptywheel Retweeted Jamie Weinstein

    Well, for a guy who helped impeach Clinton for lying about a blow job, treating lying abt Devil's Triangle as DQing for a lifetime appointment seems like a no-brainer. It's Kavanaugh's own standard, he should be held to it.https://twitter.com/Jamie_Weinstein/status/1046046924242071552 …

    FWIW, in my latest podcast w/ @mschlapp, a Kavanaugh friend and proponent, he did say if it can be proved Kavanaugh lied to Judiciary committee, even on something trivial, he thinks that would be disqualifying for SC https://www.nationalreview.com/podcasts/the-jamie-weinstein-show/episode-71-matt-schlapp/ … https://twitter.com/Jamie_Weinstein/status/1046046042981126144 …

        Mind you, I'd prefer Kav be DQed over his lies about torture, warrantless wiretapping, judicial opinions, and using stolen emails. But if he's voted down for lying abt sex there'd at least be a bit of appropriate symmetry there.

        To be clear: I'm discussing Kav's lies about what Devil's Triangle means. He claimed it was a drinking game, his peers suggest it involved a threesome. Yes, lies about sexual assault are worse.

        One of the alcoholics in my fam was "High Functioning." Read thru these traits & compare to BK. It explains why he could be nice to some & monster to others, black out at times, & likely why he became evasive & belligerent when questioned. #Kavanaughhttps://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-18440/9-signs-of-a-highfunctioning-alcoholic.html …

        I'm a recovering alcoholic myself, and that childish performance of Kavanaugh's was all too familiar. It almost looked like an intervention.

        I'm just a run of the mill drunk myself, not any type of professional or anything, but there are things in him that I see in myself, or former self anyways. And Kav's best friend wrote a book called "Wasted: Tales of a Generation X Drunk" 🤔

        Stormy ⛈ you know that was ‘life experiences’,right. That darn auto correct strikes again. But honestly, we need more real people like you running for office rather than the old white Men who have destroyed every decent idea put in place to protect us.Thank you for your honesty.

        I would like to point out that my own life experiences, my alcoholic past has prevented me from getting several jobs, even after I got sober I couldn't get a job with AT&T installing u-verses, but Kav thinks he's entitled to a SC seat. And I never assaulted anyone! Fuck him!

        It’s an obvious slap in our faces that they would even remotely consider this pig for the highest court. But we do have another one in the White House. Maybe us sharing our experiences will shine a greater light on the disparaging way Women are treated. I certainly hope so.

        I don't know how many others wonder about this, but I keep thinking about what Kavanaugh's wife must be thinking about the FBI investigation, & what she herself could reveal if she wanted. She surely has seen him blackout drunk, & also bullying towards women. It's who he is.

        Well think about this: there are lots of women out there who support Kavanaugh. Don't project yourself into/onto her. It doesn't work that way.

        For those of us who have dealt with an angry, abusive alcoholic for many years...we can know what thoughts swirl about in her head regardless of whether anyone is pro or con K. Living with an alcoholic f*cks you up Bigly.

        Yes, been there. If you are stupid enough to deny your own experience with such a person, you truly need a lot of help yourself. His wife might not be willing to tell even close friends, but I have no doubt she's seen enough to recognize very well that man at Dr. Ford's hearing.
