Oh btw, Slash, fun fact. His wife had looked meek and timid if not outright abused on FOX NEWS. So there's no way these were leftists coming after her. But then again, that doesn't shock me a man raised with extreme religious views and is conservative would beat up his wife. No proof, for sure, but then he is described as a mean drunkard. So I could definitely envision him having a lot of drink and coming home to vent some of the stress at his job. And conservative religious societal pressure will keep her firmly attached to this abusive man.

She was asked a question by a Fox News interviewer. She then didn't speak, and looked to Kavanaugh as if asking permission to speak. What does that say to you?

His husband was around politics forever. It's her first time in a ruthless Culture War. It's like someone's first day at a gun ran range. You don't want to do something stupid.

Ruthless culture war? No, this strikes me as him being the dominant in their relationship. Why is that shocking? In religious conservative right-leaning households, the man is often the dominant pants-wearing breadwinner.

I am as Far Left an asshole as can exist.

However, I will say you don't need to speculate in order to find shit to throw at Kavanaugh. We don't need to speculate about his homelife or whether his wife is scared of him or son. You can come at him for the way he votes, his political beliefs, and what he's already accused of. It just diminishes the whole process if you go, "That man has the face of a spouse abuser" or other ridiculousness.

And I say that as someone who hates Kavanaugh and considers his appointment a farce.

Might as well ask him if he's stopped beating his wife...

...what the green hell do you think you are doing?

Why would you say something like that to ANYONE?

Do you think about what you'd do if you found out somebody on this forum HAD killed themselves in their newsfeed? If you saw one of those "If you read this, it means I didn't delete this quequed post" posts?
Congrats for not reading Yuka's post. And to answer your pointless white-knighting question, if someone wants to die, it's their perogative to do so. Besides, Yuka won't ever do that, as s/he's just too comfy splerging the Weltschmerz onto the internet. It's a phase, it will pass.
I read Yuka's fucking post, and your assumption that nothing serious behind it is based on either cognitive dissonance or a sad shortage of knowledge about human psychology.

It's still a cruel, horrible thing to tell ANYONE to go kill themselves.

It's based on the observation of a lot of people and I've seen enough of his kind to know quite well, plus the myriad of other posts of his in this forum, paint quite a clear picture.

I did not tell him to go kill himself. He suggest it himself. Context is for kings. But feel free to edge the edgelord some more. I couldn't care less what you think.

No, he talked about how he was suicidal, and you urged him to Do It. That sounds a lot more edgelord than venting and ranting because you're dealing with a lot of horrible stuff, both internal and external. You've also suggested in other posts that the world would be better off if he died. So own up to your senseless cruelty, back off, or do both.
