Va Governor Blackface or KKK robe? Your choice!

Is that the best you can come up with as a retort? Try harder... As a man, how do you feel about the fact that any woman can claim you sexually harassed and/or assaulted her, and you're instantly considered guilty in the eyes of your peers. You instantly loose your livelihood. All over the word of one person without any real proof... That's the topic of the post you immaturely responded to with a trolling one liner...

I’m not worried because I’m not a rapist

And you?

You have to ask first. You always did.

Sorry you can't get any pussy and one of your options has been removed.

Why do these wingnuts worry about hypotheticals so much? Because no one will go out with them?

You could always fuck a tree. It won't say no.

Get asked to provide any proof of your statements and your answer is to ignore the person that asked the question.

Typical Republican.



Well, he does have a point only he's not able to back up his accusations with any evidence. The entire way it was handled by the Democratic leadership was purely a political stunt.

Dr. Ford sent her letter to them in the first part of July. In that letter, she detailed essentially the same exact story she told to the committee, but she asked to remain anonymous.

The Democratic leadership was foaming at the mouth over that letter, and they set a plan in motion MONTHS in advance.

Brett Kavanaugh's hearing was scheduled to begin September the 4th. Democrats did absolutely nothing with that letter at all until then, and what they did in essence was throw Dr. Ford under the fucking bus.

Democratic leadership had that letter two months in advance, and could easily have redacted the name and shared it with the republican leadership and the president the very day they got it.

But that's not what they wanted to do. Democratic leadership wasn't the least bit interested in having a fair, open, above board nomination process. They wanted a shit show to embarrass the president, and with Dr. Ford's letter, they had one.

So they waited until the hearing and then intentionally leaked not only the letter, but Dr. Ford's name to the media.

What happened next everybody pretty much knows.

Now, does any of that discredit Dr. Ford? Absolutely not. Dr. Ford is an honest, credible woman that suffered an attack as a teenager that she obviously still struggles with to this very day. Her coming forward took more balls than any man on this forum possesses.

It also emboldened other women who suffered at the hands of that asshole to come forward as well.

Now, whether you want to get nit picky about "it wasn't rape it was assault" is irrelevant. The man's character, or more accurately the complete lack of it, should have instantly disqualified him from making it to the highest court in the land for the rest of his life.

Barring the testimony given against him as a factor, his own outrageous behavior before the committee should have disqualified him as well. He was a completely unhinged, spoiled brat, admitted drunken asshole that was insulting to, BIG SURPRISE HERE, the women of the committee.

If there were ever any doubt of who he is and what he is, his own testimony completely removed it.

He's a drunken, womanizing, thug that should never have been nominated, let alone confirmed. The GOP lost what little bit of credibility they had left by supporting that complete failure of a shitbag. He doesn't qualify as a man, so his name and man can't be used in the same sentence.

So yes, Midwest is right in that it was a political stunt, but it doesn't (or at least shouldn't) detract from the fact that Brett Kavanaugh is a drunken, womanizing, sexual deviant, bully asshole.

I'm not a Republican, I'm actually planning on voting for a moderate Democrat or not voting at all. I never voted before because all politicians are sociopaths who just go along with whatever is popular in their districts to keep power. I don't know what I read but I was wrong stating 5 women retracted their story, only a couple did. I only blocked the one guy because he is not really a liberal but just here to troll people. The rest you said is spot on, you said it much better than I could.

There was no proof or corroboration to her story. She does not remember how she got there how she got home, or any details what so ever. The people, multiple people, she claims were there at the party and/or in the room at the time of the alleged assault all testified under oath that they didn't know Kav, never met Kav, and/or wasn't at a party with him present. Her very own childhood best friend for decades refutes Dr. Ford's testimony. There also hasn't been any credible witnesses from that era till this day that have come forth with ANY evidence that Kav has sexually assaulted or harassed anyone from the time he was a teen until now. All of the women that knew him then until this day hold him in great esteem. There is absolutely no proof, and these claims wouldn't even make it to trail even if the alleged incident happened yesterday. No prosecutor would bring charges base on the lack of evidence and the lack conflicting accounts coming from Dr Ford's own friends and associates...

The only reason you choose to believe it and take everything as fact in the absence of proof or corroborating evidence is because you're partisan and bias.... If Kavanaugh was a Liberal, the facts of the case were the same, and his accuser was a life long Conservative with strong ties to the Republican party, I'd bet you'd believe Kav then... Matter of fact, I know you would even if you claim you would not...

To me it's not a Republican vs Democrat partisan issue. It's a witch hunt on all men, especially white men, issue. All it takes is the word of a woman, without any proof and with no statute of limitations, to ruin a man's life and the life of his loved ones... Supporting such a phenomenon for partisan reason is disgusting and shameful IMHO ...

The standard was not "beyond reasonable doubt" as in a court trial where the State would deprive the man of his freedom. It wasn't a court trial, it was a job interview. Ford and the other women who came forward were credible and believable. Ford HAD talked of her experience years before Ford was more than a creep in a circuit court. She came forward months before the hearing. Ford and the other women who came forward were credible and believable. Believability is the standard in a job interview. There are few major corporations that would hire a top executive with the kind of baggage Kavanaugh had. They would have found some other qualified candidate without the baggage because the corporation's reputation is represented by that executive. Surely the justices in the Supreme Court should at least meet that standard. Surely the Republican Party could have found another candidate without the baggage too. It's not as if Kavanaugh had been a stand out scholar or anything. He was ranked middle of the pack in law school.

Regarding the unfairness to men, especially white men. Even in the Kavanaugh case, it did not take "the word of a woman without proof" for this kind of scandal to arise. You completely misrepresent the facts when you say that. And, then you say if it did happen it was ok because it happened a long time ago ("statute of limitations" had expired). Since when is sexual assault and attempted rape ever OK because it happened way back when? Again, we aren't talking about a court trial or even depriving Kavanaugh of his current job, we are talking about a job interview for a promotion.

 

[Fogdog]

I'm glad to hear that you are changing your mind about Kavanaugh being appointed to the SCOTUS.

 

[Fogdog]

Democratic leadership had that letter two months in advance, and could easily have redacted the name and shared it with the republican leadership and the president the very day they got it.
.

You don't know this. What happened between the time Pelosi received the letter and the hearings was not reported on. One would presume that Pelosi would have reached out to somebody warning them about this letter without disclosing details. It's a reasonable thing to do.

 

[Bigworm4201982]

6 different women: brett kavanaugh raped/sexually assaulted me

other people who went to georgetown prep at the time: yeah, kavanaugh was a blackout drunk and there was a rape problem at the school

people who simply rented a hotel room next to kavanaugh's buddies: yeah, they wre loud annoying drunks who couldn't stop talking about rape and shit

kavanaugh's own yearbook: full of refereces to binge drinking and treating women like sex objects

you: hmmmmmmm, i see no reason to believe kavanaugh could have possible been a blackout drunk serial rapist. ok, well back to smashing concrete with a hammer for no reason at all






idiot

How many unnamed victim's do you have? Asking for a friend...

I'm glad to hear you are planning to vote this time.

We aren't very nice here, you might have noticed. For myself, I find the open exchange refreshing compared to other over-moderated boards. I've learned a bit from this site. Some directly and some by looking up information to cross check what somebody else said and to check my own impressions. As you have done.

Buck is pretty well informed. Just a bit too direct for some.

Are you really using the old "first smelt it dealt it" defense? Typical right wing tactic to try to silence disagreement rather than reason with it.

I know, right?

"Don't be a jerk." "No means no."

It's not that complicated unless rape IS the objective. What is it they say? The dog that gets hit hollers?

 

[MidwestGorilla219]

So back to the topic, this is really another example of politicians being fake as fuck. Why he really will not resign, simple really it's all about power. Shit like this really turns me off to politics, I feel like no matter who I vote for is just telling me what I want to hear for their gain while they don't really give a fuck about me or anybody but themselves.

Uh huh.

You never voted before and seem mostly apolitical.

Maybe you should study up on it and vote. Everybody should vote. If everybody actually did take a sincere interest and vote, we'd all be better off.

Where I live is probably very different then most here. Take for instance the midterm election, we had a Democrat (probably would qualify as a Republican in a place like California) corporate stooge, anti cannabis, pro gun and life, and old school in every way. Then we had a Republican who tried to be like Trump, hinted at supporting medical which will not happen in my state for a long time anyways. I didn't vote, even most Democrats are basically Republicans in my state. I have watched politics closely for years.
