Thank you for finding this. I’d been looking for a transcript for a couple of days now.
…hold on a second here: are you really citing an article with the headline “Palo Alto building permit backs up Ford’s testimony” and imploring that we “read the comments as well?”
Have you not heard the oft-repeated mantra before: “don’t read the comments?” Because the article you cited has a byline, the comments are written by people going by the names “Major Lie”, “Rufus Leekin” and “Illegal Use of of Fords House.”
I’d rather not read the comments thanks.
Now you were asked for a cite that said “the assault so traumatized her that she is in a constant state of panic needing some sort escape route wherever she is.” Your cite clearly does not say this. No mention of an escape route. No mention of the “level of trauma.”
Heh.
On second thought, I think he’d prefer you didn’t read the article.
Have to admit tho" “Rufus Leekin” is an awesome fucking screen name.
You’d think CNN would have someone transcribe that. Since I’m a Liberal and you’re a Conservative can I just blame you for that? Thanks. 
In any event, sexual assault would be a be sound reason to keep a nominee off the Court. But a bar fight?
Maybe for doing literally the lamest thing possible, throwing an ice cube.
The media doesn’t seem to have picked up on this, but this is interesting.
The night before the Ford hearing, representatives of the Judiciary Committee participated in a conference call with Kavanaugh, which has since been transcribed with redacted names and officially released (very NSFW), in which Kavanaugh is questioned about an anonymous letter from a woman who says he and another boy offered her a ride home from a party, then restrained her in his car and repeatedly raped her.
This was mentiond at the hearing if I recall.
It should be taken as documented evidence that he was not a sober choir boy at the time, despite his testimony to the contrary.
Kavanaugh is certainly guilty of lying on a variety of points.
Such as? Drinking seems to be a question of subjectiveness and the latest, he seems to have known that Ramirez was making an allegation, not specifically what it was.
Throwing ice at people is not subjective. If you’re liable to do that, while drinking, then it’s one piece of evidence that you’re not a pleasant drunk.
To be sure, it could be that someone else was the asshole and got him sufficiently riled up, but this is not the only piece of evidence. It does, however, match the eye witness statements that he was a mean drunk, and support the idea that they are not false accusations made up out of wholecloth, for political purposes. Which is further backed by, some of the people making the accusation, having previously vouched for Kavanaugh up to the point where he started to claim that he barely drank at all at the time, and was always an angel.
Between those three things, the Ralph Award, etc. it’s fair to say that the guy drank to excess and was probably not a very pleasant person to be around during those times.
Yeah, when I say Brett Kavanaugh’s a nasty piece of work, this is why. To him and to the Starr team, Vince Foster’s family was just so much collateral damage in their hunting of the Clintons. Ditto Monica Lewinsky and her family. For twenty years, Lewinsky has had to live with the knowledge that the details of what she and Clinton did in private are the first things that come to mind when someone meets her, and the same will be true for her for the rest of her life. Did they give a damn about this? No, she was just a pawn to be sacrificed to their Clinton hatred and derangement.
That whole team was evil. And Kavanaugh was one of the leaders of that pack.

I don’t think they or you have actually read the transcriots then since this is what he said, under oath in his opening statement.
In other words he literally said the opposite of what you are claiming.
That’s one for the cold case files.
His friend who was with him said that Kavanaugh threw his beer in the other guy’s face, responding to what had been just words up to that point.
He did, but then he changed his mind. I saw him on CNN last night. He admitted that he changed a detail or two of the story (e.g., from beer to ice) after reading the police report. I guess that’s not too big a deal, but it does speak to the idea that this all happened a long time ago. He seemed kind of nervous during the interview, but I’d cut him some slack on that since he’s probably not used to being interviewed on national TV.
KAVANAUGH: […] But I did not drink beer to the point of blacking out […]
MITCHELL: OK. Have you ever passed out from drinking?
KAVANAUGH: I — passed out would be — no, but I’ve gone to sleep, but — but I’ve never blacked out. That’s the — that’s the — the allegation, and that — that — that’s wrong.
WHITEHOUSE: Let’s look at, “Beach Week Ralph Club — Biggest Contributor,” what does the word Ralph mean in that?
KAVANAUGH: That probably refers to throwing up. I’m known to have a weak stomach and I always have. In fact, the last time I was here, you asked me about having ketchup on spaghetti. I always have had a weak stomach.
DURBIN: I don’t know that I asked about ketchup on spaghetti, but…
KAVANAUGH: You — you didn’t, someone did. And…
WHITEHOUSE: OK.
KAVANAUGH: … this is well-known. Anyone who’s known me, like a lot of these people behind me — known me my whole life — know, you know. I got a weak stomach, whether it’s with beer or with spicy food or anything.
WHITEHOUSE: So the vomiting that you reference in the Ralph Club reference, related to the consumption of alcohol?
KAVANAUGH: Senator, I was at the top of my class academically, busted my butt in school. Captain of the varsity basketball team. Got in Yale College. When I got into Yale College, got into Yale Law School. Worked my tail off.
You can’t claim to be a safe drinker at the same time as pretending that there never could ever have been any ramifications - even when clearly there were. It’s not meaningful to say, “Well, maybe I drank one extra sip than I should have teehee.” If you’re then going to follow that up with some claptrap about spicy food. Get off my lawn.
Last night I had to have a conversation with my mother in law about Devils Triangles, and for forcing that conversation alone, Kavanaugh should be voted down.
