re: Mark Judge’s Safeway employment timeline

Good Lord, did you people pay ANY attention to the testimony. She was at the pool at her country club.

Which normally requires a lifeguard. Which is usually a college kid. Which is why they open between Memorial Day and Labor Day

I know I was once a lifeguard. In the 80s

Perhaps you didn't notice that when prosecutor Rachel Williams began to ask Kavanaugh about an entry for Thursday, July 1, 1982, which listed a scheduled get-together with, among others Mark Judge and P.J. both of whom Ford had identified as being at the party, Senator Lindsay Graham intervened to give his famous rant. When he had run out of bile and spittle and they returned to the questioning, Williams was not allowed to follow up. In fact, she was never given a chance to ask a single question from there on. Seems that this fits Ford's timeline perfectly and even makes moot Kavanaugh's claim that he was away every weekend that summer. Thursday is NOT a weekend day last I checked. Good try, though.

If you bothered to read her entire testimony rather than relying on right-wing media sources' cherry-picking, you will note that she testified that she had been at the pool practicing her swimming & diving before the party. Indoors or outdoors, since the entry on Kavanaugh's calendar that most closely matches her description was for a beer-drinking party on Thursday, July 1, 1982. Afternoon temperatures in July of 1982 averaged between the mid-80s & the mid-90s. Good try though.

Judge is in Kavanaugh's calendar as being at a party to drink "skis" with Kavanaugh, P.J. & other friends on July 1. That fits perfectly with the timeline and is written in Kavanaugh's own hand. There is a false rumor spreading that the Potomac Village Safeway didn't even exist then. The Safeway actually opened in 1968, 14 years before Judge worked there. From Judge's own memoir, "Wasted"

"This was never more evident to me than when, to raise money for football camp, I spent a few weeks at the local supermarket.

"My job was simple. People would leave their grocery baskets against a rail in front of the store, then pull their cars around. I would then sling their groceries in the store, sometimes get a small tip, then wait for the next car.

"It was a nightmare. Invariably I would be hungoveror [sic] still drunkwhen [sic] I got to work at seven in the morning, and I spent most of the first hour just trying to hold myself together. I had stopped eating breakfast a year earlier, so I didn't have to worry about trying to keep food down after a bender, but sometimes I was so toxic from the alcohol that I would have the dry heaves. Luckily the bathroom was a private room in the back of the store and I often managed to recuperate there unnoticed."

So much for the character and state of sobriety of Kavanaught's close drinking partner just weeks after the July 1 party. Any guess who was keeping Judge company getting blackout drunk with him. If Judge testifies he "doesn't remember" Kavanaugh acting like that, it's most likely because he can't remember what he had done when toxic drunk. Besides, "can't remember" is the perjury-proof way to answer a question without being caught in a lie. You don't say Yes or No, just "I can't remember." This was the way Nixon and his crew originally tried to phrase non-denial denials during Watergate.
