CNN on Friday reported additional details of a letter a woman wrote accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct when they were in high school.

From CNN:

Both men were drunk, she said, and Kavanaugh attempted to remove her clothes.

At one point, Kavanaugh was on top of her laughing as the other male in the room periodically jumped onto Kavanaugh.

  1. But the GOP has this letter, see, which offers compelling evidence that he didn’t try to rape every woman he ever saw. There were 65 non-rapes he didn’t commit! That’s a lot, 65! Surely when you add up all the non-rapes people have to their credit, it’s worth something?

    Time to find the other man

    For the first time (and I don’t think this is just the Manafort news going to my head), I think Kavanaugh has a real, substantial chance of falling short of confirmation.

    There’s blood in the water and this just looks really, really bad. Even if he didn’t do anything wrong, the PR is getting pretty shitty. I can now see it playing out as a repeat of the Doctor Ronny Jackson Experience.

  4. But but according to our resident troll Nick this is just a nothing burger.

  5. An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll reveals that most female voters prefer Democrats this fall, and the gap in Democrats’ favor is larger than 20 points.
    Approve this justice and see how low can it go!!!
