US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

Chief Justice Roberts is a good man, not particularly liked by the Conservative base.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool etc.

Yes, quite a bit actually. Of the 4 cases below, Juanita Brodderick would be the most serious as she accused him of a violent rape and three witnesses testified she had a bruised face after the encounter.

The Monica Lewinsky case would absolutely be dealt with as sexual harassment and abuse of power today, the argument of consent is not credible when you are dealing with the most powerful man in the world and a 22 year old intern.

… and yet most Democrats still admire him and refuse to condemn him.

Trump denies Palestine’s right to exist.

If you have nothing to hide, why not testify?

And sure even if you perjure yourself, Republicans have already shown they’ve no problem with it, as Kavanaugh has already done so during his hearing.

To be fair, why would you want to testify and have more loons pouring over every aspect of your life if you have no recollection of the event.

“No recollection” is not a denial.

Why wouldn’t you testify if you have nothing to hide?

The answer, of course, is that he does have something to hide.

Okay Sidney, away from the game of overseas fandom you’re playing here.

If you had genuinely no recollection of an event and were a private citizen, why would you want to be dragged in front of an audience of millions and many more going over you?

You might go mental over some of his past posts or whatever, but you don’t exactly have an A1 record yourself.

It could be well the case that this guy was too drunk to remember anything. He could be lying.

He made statement though and has a preference. Just because you want to drool over this as a piece of theatre, completely irrelevant to your life, doesn’t mean a private citizen should have to give you what you want. You know well even if he went and repeated this evidence in front of cameras that you wouldn’t change your position.

It’s very simple.

If you have nothing to hide, you should testify.

The truth will set you free.

Especially if it’s to help an old mate out, eh?

Sigh.

Have a good night trying to find streams of MSNBC and Fox News.

Unlike yourself, I don’t watch Fox News because it’s a pile of intelligence-insulting shit.

If I’m still up at that hour and watching something it’s AC360 followed by the first part of Rachel Maddow.

He has denied the allegation, he has said publicly that he has never seen Kavanaugh act in the manner described by the accuser.

You do realize how vague the details of the occasion are? She can’t recall the timeframe, where it occurred, how she got there, how she got home etc. Pretty hard for him to recall details of an event if she doesn’t. Put yourself in his place. “Do you remember being at a party somewhere, sometime in 1982, where minors were drinking alcohol”.

At this point I would be more concerned that the accuser has yet to agree to attend the hearing and not responded to repeated requests from the committee.

Rachel Maddow​:joy::joy::joy:
Even liberals think she’s batshit crazy mate, Hannity is only trotting after her when it comes to insane conspiracy theories.

The MAGA mob showing their true woman-hating colours.

Americans take sexual assault very personally. What’s that about?

You are deeply confused. You can’t even work out your thoughts on her.

Maddow relies on actual journalism from reputable sources to make her arguments. And she’s been way ahead of the curve on Trump’s Russian collusion while dummies like you are living in a fantastical la la land of denial. The political agenda in the US since January 2017 has been pretty much entirely set by the stories she covers.

And you’re wondering why Mark Judge might be reluctant to appear before a congressional hearing on live TV. It’s not that long ago a Republican congressman was shot by a left wing loon remember. There are lots of loons out there mate, not to speak of in here of course.

Why aren’t the FBI investigating the allegations?

Seriously though?

Any hearing not involving Judge is a sham.

He has already spoken publicly on the issue, so why should he not appear?

He has lots to hide.

Perhaps he doesn’t want to testify because Kavanaugh told him to lie?

As regards wishing death on people, well, well, what have we here.
