Concerning the Kavanaugh accusations ...

I would admit to having reservations given the nature of what he DID somewhat admit to, but was also inclined to allow for a length of time with a completely different demeanor and a decent body of legal and judicial work to indicate that the person being considered was not (or at least no longer) that youthful fool that was being charged.

OBW, this statement above was quite telling. It shows just how effective biased media propaganda can be to influence the public. Kavanaugh was a public servant in the Bush administration and a distinguished judge. His life record was perfectly flawless. He was acclaimed with multiple accolades from those of both parties, but was now viewed as a dangerous addition to the high court because Trump had appointed him.

You, however, seem to have given him no benefit of the doubt in the face of these wild accusations. Kavaaugh admitted to nothing, yet you apparently saw incriminating evidence. You call him a "youthful fool," yet his academic accomplishments during his youth were exemplary. Everything he did had the highest honors. Perhaps your anti-Catholic bias is on display, who knows? But this Kavanaugh character, at least in your mind, deserved everything he got because Trump appointed him. Merely guilt by association and guilt by accusation.

Perhaps you might want to remember his chief antagonist during this time -- Michael Avenatti. Some of the media saw him as a savior of sorts, and even the leading candidate for the 2020 Democratic nomination. Except for your anti-Trump attitudes, my how things have changed in the last year and a half!
