Boofin’ Brett is an overly-emotional drunk whose hysterics and lack of self-control during his nomination hearings should have ended his career. Who is the mysterious benefactor who paid off his debts? He must have a sugar daddy like Clarence does. Maybe we’ll find out….during Beach Week.
Let’s not mince words. Brett Kavanaugh is first and foremost, before anything else, a Rapist, who happens to be a supreme court justice. Not the other way around.

You leave me out of this!
nomination hearings
Oh, carry on then. That motherfucker is giving the rest of us overly emotional drunks a bad name.
This was public knowledge ever since the parties responsible conducted an investigation that lasted one business week and interviewed none of the witnesses.
Right. It’s being reported now like this is NEW. It was widely reported at the time.
Everyone knew this at the time.
It’s telling that every Trump appointed justice has a degree of illegitimacy around them. Gorsuch’s seat should have been filled by Obama, Kavanaugh got deliberately under-vetted, and Coney-Barrett’s seat should have been filled by Biden.
Everyone should keep being reminded of this every time Brett makes a ruling. America’s judicial system is illegitimate until he’s dealt with.
How would a sham Supreme Court judge be removed? I know there was talk of impeaching them but… is that actually a thing?
In a functioning government, yes. In a government hamstrung by idiot racist fascists, no.
It’s actually a thing, but it would require a degree of unity the country isn’t capable of.
Or a good shot.
Hey now, don’t give me hope.
Those who followed closely already knew it was and it was said on the news. Funny to come out again now when its not important. He’s already in.
when its not important
It would be grounds for his impeachment if we had a sane government
Also why shouldn’t things like this be brought up again? It should be brought up as long as he’s on the bench or the party that got him there still has any authority
To all the folks saying we already knew about this, yes we mostly did from some high quality journalism, but the details were not actually confirmed. Senator Whitehouse’s new report is still really important. From another one of my comments on an earlier post:
Ehh it was reported on, but we didn’t know it for sure, nor did we have specifics. There’s a difference between good reporting in a credible newspaper and an investigation led by a Senator on the Judiciary Committee. I think we’re just used to relying on good journalism since there has been a distinct lack of judicial oversight in Congress. But reports like this are based on totally different access and legal mechanisms that the press isn’t privy to (on the record, at least).
Relevant bits:
Since Kavanaugh’s confirmation, Whitehouse and Senate Democrats have tried to find out just how thoroughly the FBI investigated the allegations. In numerous hearings and letters, they asked FBI Director Christopher Wray for details and documentation but got nothing back until Trump was out of office, according to the report.
and
“The Congressional report published today confirms what we long suspected,” said Ford’s attorneys in a statement. “The FBI supplemental investigation of then-nominee Brett Kavanaugh was, in fact, a sham effort directed by the Trump White House to silence brave victims and other witnesses who came forward and to hide the truth.”
Yeah, no kidding. It’s fairly obvious that Kegstand is a posterboy for Republican privilege.
I mean it’s I guess nice that we at least have confirmation that the FBI under Trump was corrupt but what I don’t see is that these people, from the ground on up, being fired.
I mean the damage is fucking done thanks to these corrupt assholes, I want my pound of flesh from these corrupt assholes and they should actually investigate and impeach this drunkard out of the Supreme Court.
what illiterate demon possessed you to write “it’s I guess nice” instead of “I guess it’s nice” ?
The supreme court will continue to be illegitimate as long as he’s in it.
Sadly, it’s been tainted by the likes of Coke can Clarence for a very long time. If Coke can Clarence is any indication, Kegstand will be around to taint the court for at least as long as that…
The FBI? Corrupt? The institution specifically made to investigate threats to power in a partisan manner did exactly that?
How shocking.
HE LIKES BEER!!!
This is the only man to cry and start ranting about his love of beer, in the interview, and still get the job.
The hysterics of other qons like Lindsey was so over the top, too. Imagine, thinking that someone deserves the job and that hard questions in an interview process result in snowflakes melting down on behalf of the job candidate like these qons did…
Didn’t everyone know this at the time?
