Trump isn’t bringing the best people, he’s bringing child sex traffickers.
not available in EU???
You were already given the answer to that two nights ago. It’s not my problem if you didn’t read it.
Feinstein’s conduct has been by the book.
But again, nice attempt at defelction.
Why do you not want an FBI investigation?
The answer,of course, is that you don’t want the allegation to actually be investigated.
And that’s the indefensible truth about you that you can’t deflect.
It proves you don’t give a shit about sexual assault.
The answer given is bullshit. The FBI investigate on an anonymous basis all the time.
Why didn’t Feinstein bring the letter to the FBI when she received it? Either she didn’t take it seriously or she wanted to deliberately delay.
Feinstein and every other Democratic senator voted against impeaching Bill Clinton, a man who perjured himself regarding alleged sexual assault. Democrats really take sexual assault seriously.
Oh, and since when do Republicans suddenly care about supposed delaying tactics, given that they actually delayed for a year so Garland couldn’t be confirmed?
There wasn’t a word out of you about that one.
Again, Go Team!
Are you talking about Anita Hill, who was sexually harrassed by the sexual harrasser Clarence Thomas?
For all the EU Socialists;
“THERE ARE A FEW things I’m sure of in the latest, and worst, chapter in the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation saga.
It’s like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book where every chapter ends with a thud at the bottom of an old well or the clanking shut of a dungeon door.
What if Christine Blasey Ford is telling the truth that, 35 years ago, a drunken 17-year-old Brett Kavanaugh pushed her down on a bed and covered her mouth in an attempt to sexually assault her?
For starters, she’ll never get justice. This will never see a court of law. There’s no way to prove it happened, not least because she cannot provide a time or place where the event allegedly occurred. The most Ford might get is vengeance by thwarting Kavanaugh’s dream of getting on the Supreme Court and destroying his reputation.
But what if her claim is only subjectively true? What if she felt like Kavanaugh intended her terrible harm, but he had no such intent, simply thinking he was being funny, flirtatious, manly, or some other dumb idea drunk 17-year-old jocks sometimes have?
And what if the truth is somewhere in the middle? Do the actions, as described, tell us an enormous amount about the husband, father, and judge of the last 35 years? The man has been through six background checks. No one has ever unearthed similar incidents, never mind a pattern of them. If anything, the well-documented patterns of his life and career suggest that the Kavanaugh of Ford’s memory is not the Kavanaugh he became — or perhaps ever was.
For the last decade or so, there’s been a growing argument for going much easier on young men who run afoul of the law because our brains aren’t fully developed until our mid-20s. Would it be fair to let this one event, if remotely true, eclipse everything else?
On the other hand, if Kavanaugh is lying when he denies all this, that would be bad, too.
Moreover, no one is talking about prosecuting Kavanaugh. He has no entitlement to a seat on the highest court in the land. If he did what Ford claims he did, not being a Supreme Court justice is a pretty light sentence.
What if Ford isn’t telling the truth? If it’s a deliberate lie, the answer is easy: This is one of the worst acts of character assassination and sewer politics in modern American history, and anyone involved should be held to account by the law and voters alike. All one need do is look under the rock of social media to see countless people insisting that Kavanaugh is a proven rapist or attempted rapist. If he’s innocent, that is horrific.
But what if it’s not a deliberate lie? What if this is some terrible Rashomon-like confusion? Perhaps the events happened but Kavanaugh wasn’t the person involved. Or perhaps something did happen, but not the way she remembers. Ford never said anything specific about these events until 2012, when she was in couples’ therapy (and Kavanaugh’s name was in the news), and the details she offered then differ from what she is saying now.
I honestly have no idea how to reach a confident conclusion about any of this. There are just way too many missing jigsaw puzzle pieces to make out the picture.
The only thing I am sure of now is that Sen. Dianne Feinstein has behaved outrageously. Because no matter what you choose to believe, she waited too long to reveal the accusation.
Feinstein knew about these allegations in July. She made no attempt to ask Kavanaugh about them, even in closed session. If she believed the allegations were true or credible, she should have acted on them. If she didn’t — as has been reported — going public as a desperate ploy to derail or delay his confirmation is an act of grotesque cynicism, particularly when she had no idea whether Kavanaugh’s accuser would come forward.
Feinstein’s gambit may pay off. Republicans are understandably wary of cross-examining an alleged victim of sexual assault, particularly ahead of the midterms, given that the GOP is bleeding support among moderate female voters.
But the conservative base also remembers the slander of Judge Robert Bork and has no appetite to surrender to such tactics ever again. If the White House or Senate Republicans do surrender, the populist rage from the right will be terrifying.
So congratulations, Sen. Feinstein, you’ve done the unimaginable: You’ve made our politics even uglier.”
Thinly veiled “I’ve nothing to say on this but it’s important I copy and paste some right-wing misogynist opinion article nobody will read just so my buddy @anon7035031 knows I support him in his apologism for sweeping sexual assault allegations under the carpet for political reasons” from @Tim_Riggins.
“Go Team Rapeublicans!”
Another libel of a public figure, tut, tut. Alleged sexual harassment, you still have a difficult time with the concept of alleged. Anita Hill’s testimony was full of inconsistencies and contradictions, the fact she perjured herself under oath should be extremely concerning to anyone.
Surprising you din’t call him Thomas a sexual predator, as has been done by other scumbag liberals this week.
I thought it was a good article so posted.
Sorry if I interrupted your flow.
Another woman hating crock of shit from King Gammon.
I’m not the stalker who followed an unknowing random female to Australia in an attempt to suck her tampon mate.
And with that, you admit defeat yet again.
I know, yet another one.
You’re the Quixall Crossett of the forum.
Look it up.
To be fair to poor old Quixall Crossett, he wasn’t a sexual assault apologist like you.
He was just a dumb animal.
Which is like you.
It’s a very balanced article, at a time when most of the media have lost their collective minds. Feinstein comes out of this very badly. The allegation made to her in writing was very serious and one she should have acted on immediately. Politicizing it is extremely harmful to victims of sexual abuse as it casts doubt on their motives.
Then again, she and her Democratic colleagues have a history of not taking actual sexual abuse seriously, let alone alleged sexual abuse.
More sexual assault apologism projection from the forum’s resident Rapepublican sexual assault apologist.
That’s exactly what you’ve done and what Feinstein hasn’t done.
The truth is often unkind to those living in a deluded fantasy land with no handle on reality.
As it is here for you.
You are a shameful ideologue mate, with zero morals or scruples. It actually concerns me that you live in Galway, as I have relatives living there and fear for their safety.
Nobody will take you seriously as long as you paint conservative politicians as supporters of sexual abuse and abusers and ignore liberal politicians who do the same. The politicians you claim are morally superior defended Bill Clinton, every one of them in the senate voted against his impeachment, and they still allow him a platform with their party. Case closed on the moral issue when it comes to politicians.
The problem for Ms Blasey Ford is she is now fully aligned with the goals of the Democratic party and has (willing or not) made her allegation political.
Whatiffery of the highest order.
More deluded, deflecting, woman hating rot from the forum’s Rapeublican cultist-in-chief.
