Icon Politics, the FBI, and what might happen...

So, continuing down the honest path here we should look at the politics of this situation because this is very obviously a partisan mess.

Let's be honest here, this all has happened because the Republicans created a massive and horrible political shit storm when they blocked President Obama from appointing a Supreme Court judge and held that up for over a year until there was an election.

Let's be honest too that the Democrats put up a pathetic fight to prevent this from happening and when it became apparent that Donald Trump was the Republican candidate for President the Democrats stopped worrying about the Republicans blocking Obama from being able to appoint a Supreme Court judge. Everybody thought there was no chance Trump could win, so why worry?

Well, we all know how that turned out. Republicans now worry that if the Democrats win the House and/or Senate that they will deliver payback for the nonsense the Republicans pulled blocking Obama choosing a judge and block Trump for the rest of his term.

Would they? Who knows but since the Republicans know they played dirty with Obama they expect the Democrats to respond in kind. So, in reality this entire situation was created by the Republicans and it should never have happened.

Obama even went so far as to find out if the Republicans would confirm Merrick Garland, they said they absolutely would...then, of course, when Obama nominated him they instead said "Sorry, we love Merrick but we are going to play politics instead."

The typical behavior of Democrats is to try to play fair and so they might not block Trump's next pick if Kavanaugh goes down and they do win the House and/or Senate. They would have every right to block the pick if they did though since the Republicans set that crappy standard. This is why nobody in politics should look to set these crappy standards because once set, they will be repeated.

So, with all that in mind this is why this entire Kavanaugh thing is so nasty.

Plus look at the reality here. The Democrats tried to delay by correctly requesting all documents related to Kavanaugh be made available and of course the Republicans ignored the request.

Now, with these sexual allegations they are essentially just throwing a Hail Mary because they have NO POWER to block the nomination. So, they can only hope that a few Republicans do not like this whole thing and see that putting a guy like Weepy Brett on the Supreme Court would be a travesty.

Honestly, I don't think much will come from the FBI investigation. I hope I am wrong but due to the fact that the events are so old, everybody involved was either drinking and/or on drugs and that the key witness is a good buddy of Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, and Judge is a long term booze and drug abuser and a crap human being...well...he can easily and probably honestly say he does not remember anything from over 30 years ago. So, this looks like a dead end.

The only glimmer of hope here is that one thing that appears to have come out is both Kavanaugh and some "guy" working for or with him began contacting people in July and/or August through into September attempting to head off more sexual allegations they knew were coming and there is likely evidence of this in terms of text messages, emails, and phone calls. This would at least be evidence that not only did Kavanaugh abuse and attack women but he was trying to orchestrate a cover-up and create a narrative with these people to hide what he did.
