When he worked in the Bush White House as Staff Secretary, he was entrusted with very high level national secrets, including the nuclear launch codes. Do you believe the FBI would allow a known drunk or someone with a history of drinking anywhere near those?
Are you really this fucking stupid, Neo? First of all, the staff secretary is not entrusted with the nuclear launch codes, that duty falls to a rotating staff of miltary aides who are commissioned officers who have passed the most rigorous background check. Second, my point concerned the credibility of Kavanaugh's testimony concerning his drinking in high school and college, a subject not likely to have been solicited in a background check for his prior position. Moreover, even if they had noted problematic behavior relevant to that period, it's unlikely it would have affected his vetting for that position. Whereas the credibility of his testimony to the senate judiciary committee should have an impact upon his confirmation. And there appear to be questions surrounding the content of his prior background checks as well. Many important questions simply don't end up getting raised in an ordinary FBI background review. Furthermore, as your senators repeatedly claimed, the FBI doesn't draw conclusions, they simply provide information which others may use to form decisions. Given our experience with Republican vetting in the case of Rob Porter, I find your confidence grossly misplaced. Are you really this stupid, Neo?

I consider it both rational as well as an ethical responsibility to call out people for such behavior. I'm sure you'd prefer that me, Anita Hill, and Christine Blasey Ford would just shut up already, but that ain't gonna happen. If this bothers you then I suggest the most direct course of action for you to take is to stop being a dishonest and misogynistic twat.
