It ain’t quarters, folks.
Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Judiciary committee in what will likely go down in history as the most bizarre and incendiary judicial interview process in history. Amid all the talk about Kavanaugh’s attacks, Lindsay Graham’s outbursts and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations of assault, one detail has gone mostly overlooked: Kavanaugh probably lied about his high school games. And someone in Congress is trying to cover it up.
During his testimony, Judge Kavanaugh claimed to have engaged in a game called “Devil’s Triangle” while in high school. He further asserted that the game bore a semblance to the popular drinking game Quarters, in which participants try to fling quarters into a glass. Kavanaugh even submitted a calendar from the period with entries that supposedly confirmed the dates on which he and friends had played.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The problem? Devil’s Triangle isn’t a drinking game. Rather, it’s a euphemism for a sexual threesome involving two men and one woman–exactly the situation Dr. Blasey Ford asserts Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge tried to create when they assaulted her. Furthermore, several outlets, including Queerty, have conducted extensive internet searches for records of a drinking game of that name. Thus far, nobody has turned up a reference to Devil’s Triangle drinking game until yesterday…when the Wikipedia entry for “Devil’s Triangle” mysteriously changed during Kavanaugh’s testimony.

Wikipedia moderators have already traced the origin of the page edits to a computer in the House of Representatives. The actual editor–as well as his or her motives–has yet to be identified. Wikipedia has also discovered a number of other edits to articles made during or following Kavanaugh’s testimony changed to reflect the nominee’s answers.
Reports have also called into question the accuracy of Kavanaugh’s statements regarding “boofing” (a popular term for anal sex, which the judge said referred to flatulence) and “Renate Alumnius.” Kavanaugh claims the latter refers to a date with a woman named Renate Schroeder, now Renate Schroeder-Dolphin. At least 14 of Kavanaugh’s classmates have references to Renate Alumnius in their yearbooks. Two of Kavanaugh’s classmates says the entry refers to having sex with Schroeder-Dolphin. Schroeder-Dolphin herself had endorsed Kavanaugh’s appointment until learning of the entry. She’s since withdrawn her support for him.

Here’s what I saw: a man who appeared outraged at what I can only be convinced was the truth. A man who was caught. A man who knew what victims said is true. I think he was and possibly is a problem drinker. I find it ironic that at least one US Senator intoned Joseph N. Welch during the hearing. President Trump learned at the knee of Joseph McCarthy’s closeted gay hatchet man Roy Cohn. Cohn was a US Senate attorney. He along with McCarthy caused Welch to break down. This is a bit like Melania Trump riffing Michelle Obama and then claiming she didn’t know. The entire proceeding was s desperate attempt to cover up. The cover up was incomplete because Senate Republicans weren’t able to keep the lid on all the documents. And things leaked out. At long last Sen. Flake was forced to at least give in to further investigation by the FBI. A farce of one week. Senate investigations are inevitably partisan and Senators definitely give their opinions on salient issues often before and even flying in the face of evidence to the contrary. This was a put up and white wash job if there ever was one. Shame on McConnell and shame on Graham. They’re a disgrace to politics.

Although it can’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, I think there is enough evidence to question Kavanaugh’s character and disqualify him. Since this isn’t a criminal investigation, the same standard doesn’t apply. I hope the FBI investigation happens and that Flake keeps his promise not to vote for him if it doesn’t. Otherwise, it seems like this pig is going to impact all our lives for decades beyond Trump.
That mysterious wikipedia update is the icing on the cake.

There is a simple explanation for this. Devil’s Triangle as played by Brett and his friends has the following rules:
Rules to popular drinking game Devil’s Triangle:
1. Arrange three glasses in a triangle
2. Declare your love of beer
3. Overturn Roe v Wade

Really? Blasting out the mans address? He may be a dirt bag of the highest order but there is a wife and two kids involved here. He’s a federal judge in Washington D.C. so I’m quite sure you can find his work address. Have the letters sent there. Putting his family in danger is cowardly and dangerous. The Republicans might be scum but this puts you right down there with them.

Such a pity that Kavanaugh’s father only had the time to teach him how to update his calendar and keep a diary.
All this might have been avoided had Kavanaugh been additionally instructed to respect women, and to stop his out-of-control under-age drinking.
Drinking which, left unchecked in college, developed into full-on pass-out-drunk alcoholism with the accompanying “angry drunk” rage which we saw on display at Thrusday’s hearing.
As Kavanaugh bounced between blithering sobbing, and his faux-indignation rage, he spun an amazing tale of Democratic conspiracy, Clinton revenge, and left-wing intrigue. He demonstrated his true extreme bias, and that he has neither the temperment nor control to be the fair and impartial judge that we should expect on our highest court.

I am done with these democrats. Dr. Ford was probably molested by her father or another male in her life as a child. She is a victim, but Kavanaugh is not guilty. How would react if someone stated the following? “You tried to rape me 30 years ago, but I do not remember where, when or who else was there. I also was 15, could not drive but I do not remember who drove me there or how I got home.” #walkaway

You are really in a state of advanced delusion. Brett Kavanaugh’s calendar, with Dr. Ford had never seen, confirms the four boys she named were with him on July 1, 1982. How did she know that? Because they were at that house when she said they were, and were probably drinking, as Mark Judge detailed in his book(s), and Kavanaugh, in a drunken stupor, attacked her. Democrats aren’t behind this, Kavanaugh’s horrid behavior is. Also, he’s lied repeatedly under oath, so he should be impeached from his current position on top of everything else.

Funny…when an altar boy accuses a priest of molesting him, even if/when he is quite vague on the details, he is automatically believed. Why is a woman not given the same presumption of credibility? (Btw, I am NOT saying the altar boy should not be believed.)

First of all, you’ve never been a Democrat. You’re obviously a hateful republican and you’re welcome obviously easily persuaded by Lindsay Graham’s bullshit. I’m sure you have never been sexually assaulted or harassed. If you had, you’d know that sexual assault victims very rarely make false accusations, and if they do it’s very easy to know they’re lying. In Christine Blasey Ford’s case there’s no way she’s lying, considering the degree of facts she provided. I’m a rape survivor and I can tell you that the FBI doesn’t play games and believe me they know if you’re lying. She’s agreed to talk to the FBI and if she’s lying they’ll know it. I didn’t lie when I was interrogated by the FBI and it was still brutal as hell.
I’m neither democrat nor republican but, I’m an independent. I make my own decisions base on fact and what’s good for all, not just the blind loyalty to some political party that is full of elites and demagogues.
Make no mistake, BRETT KAVANAUGH IS A GENUINE LIAR. If he sits on the SCOTUS, every single US citizen will suffer. He’s a republican loyalist and lobbyist. I do believe he’ll be confirmed after this sham of an investigation is completed.
The United States is crumbling due to the radical religious right running the government. This is why the constitution does not allow the combination of church and state. It’s not Roe vs Wade the religious right is after, they’re fighting tooth and nail for Kavanaugh so the SCOTUS will reverse the marriage equality decision. Matt Starver who defended Kim Davis in Kentucky predicted several months ago that marriage equality will be reversed.

Why wasn’t this information passed on to all the Democrats on the Senate Judicial committee in time so they could question KavaNought about it….make him to clarify further and bring up the info that the definition of Devil’s Triangle game was amended for his behalfby someone using a computer in the House of Representative.
