It is my opinion that Kavanaugh is a problem drinker because whole in the confirmation process he said "I still like beer". I know and have known alcoholics, and unless one is in the booze business, is an anti-alcohol crusader, or in an activity related to the treatment or study of alcohol or its effects (including law enforcement)... people who talk about their alcohol consumption in incongruous and inappropriate situations usually is a problem drinker. There are things that one can say at a job interview that will keep you from getting a job, and discussing one's heavy drinking is one of them.

OK, I enjoy a good beer, and I can tell you that the best beer that I have ever had is an import from somewhere in central Europe... having one of those was on a bucket list of things to do before I die or, worse, end up permanently incarcerated in a nursing home. Many of those things are travel destinations that seem to be drifting away... and Las Vegas and Walt Disney World are not on them. Getting luxuries that simply show that one has the means in which to waste money is not on them. New York City and Yellowstone National Park are still on my list. Still, I prefer to attend events in which getting drunk is not a reasonable expectation. Drunkenness often brings out the worst in people, although I can say about myself that one drink dissolves my anxiety that goes with Asperger's syndrome.  

He claimed he still likes beer and you've claimed that you enjoy a good beer too. What's wrong with what was said by either one of you in America today? Are you a problem drinker just by saying/admitting that to me in public? So, it's all about drinking now. Liberals are clever and manipulative little beasts but unfortunately we are just as clever and a lot more cunning. We'll have to see how this pans out for the liberals now that the FBI's involved and free to check out/ investigate the validity of Dr Fords claims and accusations. You see, this is now a serious national matter which will require further investigation into the allegations and the character and the history of Dr. Ford as well.

I can go several weeks without drinking and not miss the drink. I can predict the effects of alcohol on me, and I don't want to get drunk. I don't get drunk. One drink  is enough. My second drink is often water. I drink more herbal tea than alcoholic beverages. (I am simply surprised that people don't have mixed drinks with herbal tea... rooibos with vodka, anyone? Maybe I could be an innovative bartender.

The beer and wine that I enjoy on occasion is simply to good to get drunk on. Problem drinkers don't care how much they spend on intoxicating liquors so long as they get an alcoholic haze quickly. Are they unable to deal with reality?

Drunkenness on the job, where it happens, is a big problem. Whether the drunk operates a machine, does medicine, or practices law in any form (including as judge), intoxication gets bad results. At the least, drunkenness numbs  inhibitions and dissolves a conscience. We all know what a BAX higher than about 0.05 can do for someone driving a car. Most employers preclude drinking on the job, and for good reason.

We will see what the FBI investigation finds out. The FBI is very good at checking out stories of personal misconduct, clearing innocent people and exposing culpable people to the legal process.

Brett Kavanaugh sounds like an alcoholic. I know the language of alcoholics at various levels of occupational and educational success. Yes, people can deal with alcoholism, and AA is very good. Mercifully I have not needed AA.

A low score means only that he would not appeal enough to Americans to be elected president. Many people look to him as another Obama. But Obama's score is 19-2. Booker is a bit over-the-top sometimes.

There is nothing to hate in him though, among those who can see truth and justice. I doubt he could win a physical brawl with the old football Brat, although it might be a close call, but I guess reds like Classic Xer thinks that is some sort of determining factor. I guess he thinks we should set up a brawl to determine who sits in the oval office. Well, I know one guy with an 11-2 or better score who offered one. ha ha!

He wasn't much of a football player at the college level, he lacks leadership qualities and leadership skills and he's not much of an important politician either. You know what I would do, I'd (vile word redacted) around with him and taunt him and show him some displays arrogance while continually showing him signs of someone who isn't afraid of him, someone isn't impressed by his appearance or his intelligence A self absorbed pansy ass like Spartacus wouldn't stand a chance against a confidant and knowledgeable opponent who doesn't seem to give shit about his pretty boy appearance, his fancy title that was most likely handed to him or the obvious color of his precious skin. Now, I'm not an ugly man or a man that doesn't have a keen sense of humor or a yes man or a concerned man who refuses to get down and dirty with a beloved liberal in public.

1, His football career means practically nothing.

2. He was Mayor if one of the toughest cities in America (Newark, New Jersey), which counts for more than Indianapolis (Richard Lugar) and Cleveland (the late George Voinovich) of two former Republican Senators who I thought uniquely qualified to be President.

3. You would run into bodyguards who would get you arrested for disorderly conduct or worse.

4. Barack Obama is very much an intelligent person. Smart people come up with solutions to big problems when they get the chance.

5. Barack Obama demonstrates that in the wake of a disastrous Presidency, skin color matters little.

6. Think again.

I think you guys really need to start paying attention to what the blues do, what blues say about other people, how blues act, what blues seem to believe and seem to support or seem willing to support and so forth. BTW, your fellow blue looks pretty loco and seems pretty loco to me. But then again, what do I know about blues, I've only been posting with them and tangling with them for about 15 years and observing them politically and watching/ directly experiencing their favored methods are being put to use for political gain for almost 30 years.  Dude, what would I have to do to wipe that smirk off his face. Would I have to get rough with him or just show him signs (the eyes and the look and the obvious demeanor) of a man who ain't there to take shot from some liberal pup, who ain't there for shits and giggles, who ain't there for fun and ain't there to play childish games with adult age liberals, who ain't there to please uppity liberal and liberal cheerleaders.

Quote:1For the Leader. Maschil of David;2when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: ‘David is come to the house of Ahimelech.’

3Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man?
The mercy of God endureth continually.
4Thy tongue deviseth destruction;
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
5Thou lovest evil more than good;
Falsehood rather than speaking righteousness.
Selah
6Thou lovest all devouring words,
The deceitful tongue.
7God will likewise break thee for ever,
He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent,
And root thee out of the land of the living.
Selah

8The righteous also shall see, and fear,
And shall laugh at him:
9‘Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold;
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his wickedness.’
10But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God;
I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
11I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it;
And I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.
